    Screw that, watch it online. Our company has an internal stream set up. If you take the tube, the boards showing when the next trains are, are showing the scores. Can't really avoid it!

    I do think it gets kind of draggy.

    How do you guys feel about people like Jermaine Jones, who clearly is German - born in Germany, grew up there, played there from the age of 7 until last year? His dad is American, so he is eligible to play for you guys in that way.

    USA getting in to the game a bit more now, after some early scares.

    It happens in many sports, basketball, baseball, etc. It just matters on his allegiance it is just preference. Or than maybe he knows the USA is awesomer, Merica.

    We might've limped through but I'll take it. Yedlin (who I'm surprised Gipper hasn't been touting being an Akron product and all) has been great off the bench. Kid's fast as hell.

    I just wish Russia could win their group. I want to knock their ass out.

    I don't have a problem with it. Get back to me if he loses us a game.

    Seeing as he is our second best player...

    I mean, come on, a guy named Jurgen Klinsmann, who played for Germany is our god damned coach. The alternative is Bill Bradley.

    Hell yeah, go USA.

    I was able to avoid hearing about the game at work, on the internet and my phone. I watched my recording later today and I'm pumped. Go Portugal, lol

    Belgium are beatable, but will be very tough. After that you don't have much hope I'm afraid 🙁 France won't get past Germany IMO.

    Chris - who are the English rooting for now mostly? Are they going with players from their club teams, other European teams or your ally across the Atlantic?

  • gftChrisG gftChris wrote on

    Mostly people will be neutral and root against teams they don't like, rather than adopt a new team. If a new team is adopted, it'll be the 'trendy' pick - which at this world cup is either Belgium or Colombia. Teams we don't want to see win it (and the stereotypical racism associated therewith)- Germany (fucking Nazis), Argentina (falklands and maradona's cheating scum hand of god), France (arrogant twats who banned our beef).

    France and Belgium have been playing lights out. Germany not so much. It's either gonna be France or Brazil from that side of the bracket.

    France couldn't score against an Ecuador team down to 10 men desperately trying to attack. Germany will beat them - I'll put a beer on it.

    I truly hope we don't go to penalties, unless we win of course.
