2014 World Cup Thread

Big game in 3 hours for the US. They can either be atop the group and advance or they can be favored for elimination, depending on the result.

I'm not loving the Americans' chances today, but they do have a chance. Hopefully, some of you nay-sayers here have seen enough upsets in this World Cup to, at least, give the US a chance today.

I will be watching the match with a lady friend so I probably won't post much during the match. But, to my fellow Americans, LET'S DO THIS!

Why couldn't we have gotten Korea in our group? Jesus they are sucking right Noe against Algeria. Terrible defense.

Defense OPTIONAL in Algeria 4 v. Korea 2 - 20 mins left so at least 2 more goals

Weather in the 80s humidity in the 80s. Going to be a TEST in fitness. Cannot blow the load early like we did against Ghana.

I'd prefer not to blow the load early regardless. Nobody likes a guy who blows premature.

Well after the shank "clearance" we have actually played slightly better than Portugal. Can we score? I don't know. Portugal has guys that FINISH I'm not sure we do.

[SmoothPancakes]

We just got LUCKY as fuck right there before halftime. Holy Christ. Portugal had two chances to go up 2-0.

Defense let us down. They have been shaky both games. We deserved a loss in the 1st game got a win deserved a win 2nd game got a draw. I give us little chance of advancing now.

[SmoothPancakes]

We're fucked. We pretty much have to beat Germany now to advance.

[SmoothPancakes]

Ok, looking at the goal differentials, we HAVE to at least draw with Germany. If we win, great. If we draw, we still advance. If we lose, we're pretty much fucked.

Either that or Klinsman needs to get on the horn and arrange a 0-0 draw. We concede the group to the Germans but guarantee advancing to the knockout stage in 2nd place. Crazier things have happened in soccer.

If we lose the only shot we have is if Portugal defeats Ghana and then not by 4 goals (assuming we only lose by 1 to Germany) and advance on goal differential.
