Underdog U.S. Team Aims For Another Cup Upset
The United States and England meet today for one of the World Cup's most anticipated match-ups, 60 years in the making.
The Americans are ranked 14th, while England ranks eighth. But the underdogs say they are ready for a victory that is long overdue, says CBS news correspondent Mark Phillips.
Everybody's optimistic at the beginning of a tournament, especially England fans about to play the U.S. in what the rest of the world calls "football."
"It's the round one, not the funny-shaped one" says one enthusiast.
The English team is being sent into battle with encouragement from British troops in Afghanistan.
"Just like you, we have to hit the target under pressure," said one soldier.
They're being urged on by prime ministers: "Come on, England!" said David Cameron.
But the U.S. team has presidential approval: "Everybody's going to be rooting for you," said Mr. Obama.
And Team USA has something else on its side: History.

I don't get it. The US is definitely not playing with the UK today. If it's spam I cannot see the benefit for the poster, he's linking to google.com, not a pharmacy site.
Is it spam or just a sports enthusiast with bad memory taking things too far inside an anime forum?

Seems very strange for a spam message, so I'd go for a new poster who likes ""Football"" the round kind. If you are a new member, welcome, introduce yourself. We have a few football fans on here, for both kinds of ball. US plays Slovenia today.

My guess is that it is a spambot that post some current news, (although someone forgot to update its news) in order to sound like a normal user. The spam will start later when the user is not being watchs so closely.Sakura wrote:I don't get it. The US is definitely not playing with the UK today.

Or maybe it took this long for the match to make it to tv in Guatamala.

I checked the logs. It's trying to register 6 accounts every 4 hours but obviously fails due to a very minor change in our registration purrrocedure. It's doing that for 4 days already after registering this account manually. Banned the whole IP.
