I missed the first twenty minutes of the game, and the first goal, but the U.S. was looking pretty outclassed there in the first half. With Jan Koller apparently out in the second half things might go better for them.

Honestly I'd be pretty happy with either team winning -- I have sympathies with Czech Republic that date back to high school, and naturally I'd like to see America do well -- though if the first half is any indication the Group of Death may actually be the group of people killed by Czechs.

GAME OVER UPDATE: That was a massacre. The Czech Republic walked away with it. I'm going to have a hard time choosing whether to root for Czech Republic or Italy on the 22nd. Now, where can I get a Czech jersey...
