Calm down everybody! This is too exciting! Please calm down! I can barely contain myself. I can't imagine anyone feeling differently.

I better check my pulse and blood pressure. This is too much to take in. Switzerland will be at the WC! Wow! Bloody Switzerland! Holy Cow, but this is exciting!.

That was sarcasm. The mere mention of World Cup and Switzerland in the same sentence saps my energy so much that I may have to go back to bed for lack of energy.

Yeah, yeah, '54 world cup. I know. It's been a long time, though.

Just tied it up after being down 3-0.

On edit - Colombia got the point they needed to get in. What a game.

Also Honduras held on 1-0

I have to give them credit, they didn't give up. And that was without the main star players talking the field.

They seem to have a pretty good offense for the level of players we have. Defense is inconsistent and that will be a problem during the WC. But overall, I think Klinsmann has done a good job.
