[Cloud USA] So there you go.  Qualifying round voting ends tonight at midnight Eastern Standard time.  And sometime tomorrow morning, we will know who is going to the Final 8, their placements, and then the knock-out round matches will be on.  My heavens, how exciting!

MTV Newsroom Blog 6/30/2010, 1 pm EST —

There is no action in the 2010 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday or Thursday, but the MTV World Cup of Rock continues through the end of today. All of the match-ups from the group round are still open for voting, and you’ll have until 11:59 PM ET to get the last of your votes in. On Thursday morning (July 1), the seedings for the eight team tournament will be revealed and the first batch of knockout round matches will be presented.

There are still plenty of games that have implications coming out of the first round, which is why you should get your votes in to get behind your favorite country’s batch of bands. Here are the headlines from each group…

Group B
Though they won their group in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the tournament was generally unkind to the American team. Shockingly, the MTV World Cup of Rock has also been rough on the United States, as their game against England will decide which of those teams will advance in the tournament (alongside dominant group leader South Korea, who launched a Rain-powered blitz on the competition). The U.S. and England are separated by less than 100 votes, so there is still time to throw your support behind whoever you think should advance….

Am I reading that correctly, in that Team Rain/All the Reds has mowed everyone down, and the US making it into the knockout round depends on its earlier match against England?  Awesome (yes, my heart flounders for my motherland, my home turf, and I will continue to love her and she me, but hey, when it comes to Ji-Hoon, there’s just no contest.  It can’t be helped.)  As we understand it, this is the very first MTV World Cup of Rock, and Rain winning it this year in addition to his biggest badassery statuette would be the virtual gravy on our mashed potatoes.

Well, we shouldn’t take any chances, Clouds, as I could be misinterpreting the post.  Let’s continue to push votes for Rain until 11:59 pm EST tonight (10:59 Central, 9:59 Mountain, 8:59 Pacific) and finish strong.  Then take a well-deserved break, because you’ve earned it. You’re all just so amazing. Aja!
