World Cup 2010

I am reminded of Andres Escobar, the Columbian defender who scored an own goal in the 1994 World Cup vs. the USA and was murdered a short time after. I sure hope British soccer fans are more forgiving, because that was one massive gack. A 1-1 tie for the US against one of the favorites with a real chance to win it all is a huge victory for the US team. I would suggest it virtually gaurantees advancement, unless the US has a major gack of their own.
