World Cup 2014

Was a nice and exciting win for the US, even though they were really outplayed pretty bad… 21-8 on shots though many of them weren’t technically shots on goal… 60-40 on time of possesion, etc. A win is a win though… If we can tie Portugal we should march on assuming Germany doesn’t beat us by 5+ goals… lol

‘wipe out’ would be ‘obliterate’. :wink:

Like the US will obliterate Portugal from the world cup by defeating them if Germany wins against Ghana.

We need to keep possession to control the pace of the game. Too many give always. We also need to hesitate less about shooting when in the box. I hope there won’t be anymore cramps. Next game is in Manaus I think.

Good thing you’re not playing the Dutch then :slight_smile:

And Spain is out!

Should be an interesting lame duck last game for them against the socceroos (who are also out).

Although the aussies ran the oranje pretty close!

I know! The Socceroos played really well.

The Brazil vs Mexico game yesterday was a good one too! Good job on Mexico keeping the score 0-0.

I’m calling 3-0 for the aussies lol

that’s his 3rd bite!

man…who would have thought Uruguay and Costa Rica would come out of that group, and Italy and England would be going home…

Looks like a breakdancing competition.

Not me…bummer.

That’s crazy that he continues to bite people. I wonder what FIFA will do about that…

So many Italians to tease.

Not enough time.

i don’t know but that ref was in Uruguay’s pocket

  1. straight red for Marchese???!!!?? For that?

  2. acted like he didn’t see the bite…and then wouldn’t even look at the obvious bite mark. Just ran away and shooed everyone off.

Yeah the fact that he just walked away after the guy was trying to show it to him was ridiculous. That and the other Uruguay player that pulled up his jersey to cover it back up was bogus too.

And the US is through to the round of 16! We made it out of the group of death!

So what are the chances that the US actually advances beyond the next round? I really don’t follow soccer, but if there’s reason to be hopeful for team USA, then I’m in.

They have a chance against Belgium but I don’t think they’ll get past Argentina.
