Geez I wish I knew spanish so I can watch the games on Telemundo. The US announcers are terrible and the whole Brazil game they kissed Brazil's @$$.

I just watched the pre-show and the game, and the whole pre-show all they we're doing was talking about how great Brazil is and all the records they hold. They we're mainly focusing on Ronaldinho and how fantastic he is. To be honest I'm not a fan of Brazil, heck I'd rather anyone but Brazil win; but I will give them credit for some of the clips and highlights I watched during the pre-show. They really do play great soccer which is obvious by their records and history.The announcers really built up this Brazil team up to no tommorow.

The thing that annoys me is Brazil didn't play that great today, even their superstars didn't do to much special, and Ronaldo even got taken out with people booing him. I'm not blaming the players, but the fact that the US announcers continued to praise Brazil during the whole game, and didn't give Croatia any credit, which they played a really good game. It's as if the announcers had a "script" to read off the entire 90 minutes of how great Brazil is, while totally disregarding the other team.
