One might be enough... The way things are going here, I have a strong feeling that Slovakia didnt score for the last time.

Haha good luck, a very defensive game so far. We're getting gang tackled and shutting Paraguay down pretty fast - that and any balls they get near the goal they shoot in random directions lol.

| Well, heres a new question: did the ball just go over the goal line, or not? I think (and hope) not, but its really hard to say. |

Yeah, but in 1930 you werent watching football... They didnt have TVs at the retired citizens home.
I have to check my sources, too... Thats what they said on our TV in the football studio. WIkipedia says 13 teams, so youre right there.
And it looks like we shared the third place with the US, since there was no third place match.

And we also won our group back then, and finished third in the cup... Yup glory days.

To answer the question, Budred, you heard right. While Becks is right about the Semi's, the reference to the 1930s is also correct. It is the first time since the 1930s that the USA WON ITS WC GROUP! You aren't going deaf or crazy, Bud.
Not to take anything away from them but 1930 was the first official FIFA WC and only a dozen or so countries participated. Still, it was an upset then as well.
