Mon Jun 12, 2006 at 09:03:32 AM PDT

The United States v. Czech Republic game is set to start.

My prediction - US 2-1 Czech Republic (even though this is woefully wrong, I will keep it up.

Final Score.

US 0-3 Czech Republic.

Well, one prediction was met - three goals were scored.

The countries represented in the World Cup that the United States has Peace Corps volunteers:

Costa Rica
Ecuador
Ghana
Mexico
