Over the unpaid bonuses??

Either way, that's good. Kevin-Prince Boateng can score some great goals.

Apparently there was an altercation during practice or something.

Referees will be at the stadium an hour before kickoff to determine field playability.

I assume Ghana - Portugal will be suspended/postponed as well, so that the games are played at the same time still??

@GrantWahl: At Recife stadium now. No flooding. Can see firsthand the difference between "FIFA-standard" and standard for ordinary Brazilians. Shameful.

Probably that FIFA required all the new stadiums to be built like this in case of flooding, justifying how much money they mad Brazil (and those before them) spend lol. Terribly worded though.

Reading about the Ghana issues. African teams always self destructing.

Pretty weak. But, at least he wont help them win the WC. Maybe they lose the next game and his suspension will last longer lol

Omar Gonzalez and Brad Davis starting. Fuck.

Matt Besler you cant risk it, but dont know why Cameron cant/isnt going. Gonzalez is the guy I hoped not to see at all this tourney.

NM. Appears the Tweet I read is wrong. Besler is in the starting line-up. Gonzalez is still awful though.

Davis is in for Bedoya.
