So Belgium, Argentina, The Netherlands, and France are all that lies between us and the title. Hrmph.

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. -

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 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.

that was a hell of a game

That was nerve racking and I didn't even care about the two teams lol

My uneducated thinking on the Brazil- Chile match. If you're going to play all that time, and go down to penalty kicks- at least make it like tennis- you gotta win by 2.

I was at the Belgium friendly in Cleveland... hopefully this rematch goes better

I'm glad that Mexico and Greece got sent home.

Mexico don't care about so much, but Greece just play such anti-football, it's horrific. I was gutted when they beat Ivory Coast.

US coming out in a 4-3-3, love it.
Some explanation -
4 defenders, 3 midfielders, 3 attackers
With Altidore in the lineup we started in a 4-4-2. As he was injured for the next two games, we played in a 4-5-1, which is a much more defensive-minded formation.
Today, we're putting 3 guys up top, and hopefully it translates to more scoring chances.
-
4-5-1 transitions to 4-3-3 very easily, and usually teams will play a combination of the two formations.
Wow, what a free-kick routine!

now we'll get back to reality where the american people really think soccer sucks.
we'll cheer for anything as long as we're in it. start losing and you can't find the exits fast enough.
-
I still like soccer. Always have, always will.
The sport will keep growing though. The next 2 years or so will be huge for soccer in the US

Tim Howard doesn't care how many saves he made - "I signed up to do that, to put my face in front of balls"
...nope, nothing remotely funny about that at all...
