Canada: A win or draw against USA.

USA: A win against Canada.

Canada has the Goals For tie breaker advantage, and that's why the USA can't win the group with a draw.

And for today's matches:

Group B: Haiti vs. Canada
Group B: Martinique vs. United States

While I expect Canada to come up with a win against Haiti, I wonder if the USA can get a better result than the 1-0 scoreline after only 1 goal in the 8th minute.

The Qatar vs. Panama match surprised me, it was very entertaining.

With Honduras vs. Grenada, I kind of expected Honduras to win, I was thinking maybe 2 or 3 goals, but not 4 myself. Grenada actually had a decent number of good chances in the game, but, they could not convert on them.

The second half of the Panama vs. Qatar game was wild. Despite the 2 hour severe weather delay, it was a very entertaining match during that second 45 minutes.

Qatar going up 1-0, and every time Qatar had the lead, Panama would find a way to get level with Qatar. And at 2-2, Qatar would get a Penalty Shot awarded to them, to get back up to 3-2, only for Panama to ALSO get a Penalty Shot awarded to them a bit later in the match to take the score to 3-3.

Also, one more game that's awesome:

Quake 3 Arena

4 player on the same console with 4 controllers. It's madness! Also, the game supports bots as other players. So even in a multiplayer match, you can also have either 1 human vs. 3 bots, 2 humans vs. 2 bots, and 3 humans vs. 1 bot. There is an option for team red vs. blue matches as well.

Plus, the game's soundtrack is awesome too. The Dreamcast version is said to use a completely different soundtrack from the PC version.

The control in the game is interesting too. The face X/Y/A/B buttons are used for forward, left, right and back movement, while the analog stick is used for looking around and aiming. Sure, it takes a few moments to get familiar with the setup, but once you do, it's extremely fluid. The triggers are used for jump and weapon firing. The digital pad lets you switch between weapons, and use consumable items that are found on some of the maps.

I'm not familiar with anything that adds the translation to Japanese released titles.

In the Gamecube version of Skies of Arcadia, the game's soundtrack is compressed and doesn't sound as good. The reason is, the 2 disc Dreamcast version is crammed into 1 Gamecube disc.

Yeah, Mexico had 29 total shots, with zero goals, and Trinidad & Tobago's goalkeeper had a total of 7 saves in the game. Even with all of the stoppage time, which totaled 8.5 minutes for each half [nearly 17 minutes extra], it was not a factor.

Qatar being in the Gold Cup, if my information is correct, I believe that were originally invited to the Copa America tournament, but Qatar later dropped out of the competition, and then accepted an invite to the Gold Cup instead.

Timing the USA game just after the Euro final, I wonder if it was by chance they lined up on the same day?

Either way, I'm looking forward to both games. I'm definitely watching Italy vs. England that day too.

Canada vs. Martinique, that should be interesting one!

As for Panama vs. Qatar, I'm not even sure what to expect from that game. We will find out on Tuesday July 13.

Also, much earlier, when Resident Evil 4 came around, and despite all of the release delays, it was truly the gaming event of 2005, even though it came out only in January, it remained an easy contender for game of the year once the closing months of 2005 came around.
