A very impressive performance from the US. This world cup never fails to shock. Poor Cobi Jones took a right good kicking near the end. A savage headbutt from Marques and those two defenders sticking the boot in while he was down at the corner wouldn't have looked out of place outside my local after kick out on a Saturday night. There's been a pattern in this tournament of well favored teams being disasterously complacent about their easier fixtures. Arrogance has been punished ruthlessly so far. I'm waiting to see what Germany's attitude to the quarter final is going to be, but if they come out singing easy street then I'll be going down the bookies to place bet on the US.
