 I happened to turn on the tv at 3am and watched some of the Mexico/Iran game, that stuff is crazy.  Anybody have deep thoughts on this?  Best player in the world?

The World Cup is the only soccer I will ever watch.  Some of the games are exciting.  Some of those players are just amazing.  I would say the best player would have to be one of the Brazilians.

Ronaldo from Brazil is the best.  Right now the US isn't playing well and are down 2-0.

I'm going to have to say that the World Cup is the greatest sports event in the universe.  I just wish that soccer was as big here as it is in other countries.  Some countries completely close down while their team is playing in the world cup.  Why couldn't we all get the day off when the US played?

 I think it's the most popular sport in the world because all you need is a few bored kids and a soccer ball.  No fancy gear, fields, or courts, just a ball. 

I'd like to see the US win a game, even though they still probably wouldn't get very far.

I think the US will pull off a win.  They will play close with Italy(hopefully) but will most likely lose and should defeat Ghana.

No he's not. He was about 3 years ago, but not anymore. Right now the best player in the world is probably Ronaldinho(yes different person) from Brazil. My favorite player though is Kaka.

 At least they showed their potential against Italy.  Too bad they got shafted by the referee, they might have won.
