USA National Team Thread

[Bobby]

I'd take a point all day long.

Ronaldo, fit or not fit, isn't the one that worries me. It's Nani. Nani will play on the Beasley side and he got turned a couple of times against Ghana. Eder is a big target for Nani to cross to.

Il biscotto...

 

[MaestroZidane]

You got your point, Bobby. I wanted the win and it sucks to have come so close to see us letting it go like that.

The Germany game should be an interesting one.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Do you guys think Germany will do the same thing it did in 2010 and only beat the U.S. by 1 goal to force Portugal to score >5?

 

[Deisler]

Or Ghana score 2 plus.

 

[Xifio]

I gave the thumbs up for a draw and biscotto yesterday, but not like this; not when the win was sooo close ... 2 avoidable errors too ... everyone watching here fell into a stunned silence; it is gut-wrenching to think about ...

bring on the biscotto, I guess ... but in a crazy World Cup, I'd love the next chapter in Group G to be Ghana doing Portugal in, while the Von Trapps take down Germany ...

 

[Mus]

Germany going out would be pretty funny, klose got his record, muller enhanced his rep and push for kloses record, business done.

 

[Xifio]

hah, good point ... but it looks like it's going to take a truly Copa das Copas matchday for it to happen:

drawing lots! can you imagine?

 

[Elber2k3]

Gijon 2.

 

[Deisler]

The Dutch look scary.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Robben is on the form of his life and that is terrifying for all opponents.

 

[RobbieD_PL]

Robben is on the form of his life and that is terrifying for all opponents.

It'll be a Dutch-Argentina Semi. Argentina will beat the winner of Belgium-2nd Group G

 

[Deisler]

Yeah it's looking more and more like a Europe vs South America semi finals clash. Brazil vs GErmany and Holland vs Argentina.

 

[Mus]

Robben is on the form of his life and that is terrifying for all opponents.

He's gonna blow out a hammy and cost the dutch their chance, it's fate

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I don't know, Robben's personal luck has turned around since that goal in 2012. I guess bad Dutch juju is a harder thing to overturn though.

 

[Mus]

How many gut busting 40 yard runs at top speed do you think an ex-injury prone 30 year old can do in a one month tournament?

 

[Back Door Skip]

I wholeheartedly endorse him pulling a hammy early in the next game.

 

[ARIAGA II]

I was wrong about Klinsmann

At the end of the game I was looking forward especially to his and Hummels' interaction

 

[regularcat]

to think Sir_Didier_Drogba said no way the USA gets out the group.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'm glad I was wrong.
