Gotta hand it to the US on the 1-1 draw. Rooney was for the most part a non factor and they put themselves in position to pull out a win at the end. Should be a big confidence booster for the rest of pool play.

One awesome thing soccer has over football, baseball, basketball and especially golf - no stinking commercials, except for the half. No CEOs, no blimps, no sentimental essays, no corporate lists, no corporate shot of the day, no sports commissioner, no announcers reciting Bette Midler lyrics.

I am very excited about Thursday's game against S. Korea... they played good on Saturday, and their good players scored goals. I hope S. Korea can beat Argentina, but it will be very difficult

Why does England have an Italian manager? They also had a Swedish manager (or somewhere in Northern Europe) manage the team as well. If you compare with say the Ryder Cup, you wouldn't have say Greg Norman or Gary Player captain the European squad.

dude... the germans were looking like champions today. they could have easily blown australia out by 7 or 8. i'd never heard of ozil until today, but if he plays the rest of the tournament like he did today, he'll have no shortage of suitors from top european clubs. dude was playing for broke.

ok the Germans were awesome but it was blatantly never a red card for Cahill, that took away any chance Australia had of getting back into it, that ref is just card happy, in the last year and a half he's sent 3 players off in a game twice and 2 players 4 times, Cahill hardly touched the guy

Oh man the haters are coming out....

They were winning 2-0 before the red card. Germany had complete control of the game minus the first min's of the first half. Honestly once they scored the 4th goal it really look like they took their foot off the pedal. Look at the Serbia game.....they were down a man and they looked STRONGER when they were a man down. There have been 3 red cards issued so far in this World Cup and no team has really taken advantage of it except Germany. They have been knocking on the door the last 2 cups. 06 they were REALLY young and lost to what ended up being the 06 Champions. They beat a Argentina team that everyone PRAISED and said would run over everyone in the tourney. In 02, they went to the Finals against Brazil and Brazil was just to tough. Oliver Khan was HUGE that WC but Brazil found ways. They were clearly the better team. Sad Ballack is on the sidelines for this one... I'm 26 years old and I didn't start following World Cup soccer until 1994 when it was here in the USA. The first WC game I ever watched was Germany and Belgium in the round of 16. Germany scored 3 goals that day and I just thought they were a power house (they were the defending champs as well). They ended up losing to Bulgaria but since that first day I've always pulled for the German squad. I've never missed one game since. They have provided so many thrills to this day. Go Germany!

You've left out their best forward and their best centre back there...

Don't be surprised if Fabregas doesn't start big games, either.

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
