Red for head butting a German for Pepe after a dive. Portugal is TOAST now playing with 10 against the Germans down 2-0.
No Pepe when we play them either. Nice.![]()
BEAT DOWN. Por should just pull Ronaldo and save him due to his knee injury. No way in hell they come back from this.
Portugal is imploding against the Germans.

Great result for the US, imo. Beat Ghana, draw with Portugal, play defense against Germany to stay within 4 goals and the just hope Portugal doesn't blow Ghana the fuck out.
4:30 kinda sucks for the match. I don't get off work til 5, and I have somewhere to go after work.
The dude abides.
That Iran-Nigeria match was very entertaining today. I wasn't pulling for either team but it has some pretty good end-to-end play.
My prediction. Ghana 2, USA 1. Ghana's had our asses the last couple times we've played them. Until I see otherwise from the US, like in Vegas, gotta let it ride.

USA 4 Ghana 2 - i fully expect a wild game with defense optional for large segments
You can't put too much stock into what happened 4 and 8 years ago.
Fact is, Football has gotten stronger in the States in the last 4 years. There are 20 MLS players on WC 2014 rosters (10 on US). That is the most since MLS started. In 2010, there were only 6 MLS players on WC rosters, which is the all-time low.
1998 - 19
2002 - 11
2006 - 15
2010 - 6
2014 - 20
Not saying your pick is bad, just saying don't put so much weight on 4 and 8 years ago.![]()
Oh, I know. A lot has definitely changed since 2006 and 2010, older players have gone, newer players have come. Both teams have at least changed somewhat since those two Cups. But, for whatever reason, Ghana always seems to have USA's number, either they come out hard or the US comes out sluggish. Hoping it's different tonight, but I'm sort of reserved until the US is able to actually get it done against Ghana.
