The prelim
Watching a bit of Japan-Australia while waiting for the U.S.-Czech Republic game.
It's in the 58th minute and Japan leads 1-0 on Shunsuke Nakamura's goal that certainly looked to me as if it should have been called back. Nakamura's cross from the right wing got past Aussie keeper Mark Schwarzer, who appeared to be interfered with by not one but two Japanese attackers.
Not the most stirring game to this point.
Let's hope the United States is ready to put on a better show at noon. Bruce Arena's squad really needs at least a point against the Czech Republic, and three would go a long way toward booking a spot in the knockout round.
