That's what happens when you play in the middle of a rain forest.

Ballsy pick. They still need to beat Italia to move to the knock out stage. Suarez is a baller though (I have a buddy who's a huge Liverpool fan. I'm pretty sure I've heard enough about Suarez to consider him family.) I'm looking forward to that game.

I could go on a long rant about England, but I'll decline the option.

All I can say is: DUMBASSES.

You would think the US team was headquartered in Cleveland with a heartbreaking loss.....errrr.....tie, like that.

Didn't the world cup finish already?

I have to avoid all media until I get home from work... Ugh

[gftChris]

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.

It's flooding outside the stadium currently. Kick off in 2 hours.

I am streaming it at work. Can't fucking wait.

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.

[MLD Woody]

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

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.
