Anyway, world cup matches are like first dates. Sometimes you hit it off, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you get one in 4 times, sometimes you spend hours in meaningless banter. Argentina and Mexico made out like a house on fire, these two... didn't. Much enjoyed Milevskiy's cheeky chip though. Harsh.

A USA v South Korea semi-final would have been interesting. Yes, the US outplayed Germany in the 02 quarter-final, so it can be argued they were deserving of a place in the last four.

They survived S. Korea and lucked out of the first round thanks to Korea. But they beat Mexico (they do tend to have Mexico's number) soundly and played better than the Germans in their loss, so I would not say that they were the equivalent to Ukraine. If the US were in a hgarder group that year, they would not have advanced, but I think the Ukrainians have only dealt with soft competition excluding Spain.
