Haha no I'm not sure, just rooting. I actually agree it's about 50/50, really unpredictable
I think so as well, never enjoyed every match like in this one ! EDIT But we do stand better chances than other matches like vs Brazil.. We can handle european styles much better ! And we can only hope our trainer doesn't fk up again, last line-up was horrible. 2 inner defenders on the outer positions wow..

hey don't b so sure bout beating France as long as Djourou isn't starting and they don't go 4-3-3 its 50/50. Germany are vulnerable to pace and France have plenty. That said German will to win and superior teamwork makes it a tough call. I got money on France tho from b4 the tourny - sorry. Viva La France!
BTW gotta say USA USA USA! - awesome displays along with Australia Algeria Mexico Ghana ..and Chile and Colombia too! (my fave side). These teams have made it the most entertaining, competitive and open WC ever. |

I like scoring. I need scoring drives to be interested. Watching 2 hours of play and 1 goal is a snoozer to me. Rather mow my lawn

To be honest its grown men playing a huge game of keep away for the most part... It does take a lot of agility and stamina, but its not a hard hitting sport like American football... On average the players have to be in a lot better shape then American football players do

It doesn't say all that much I guess, but it is nice in a way to see brasil needing penalties to beat chile

and as for sports, I played American football for 11 years of my life and quit because I fell in love with soccer but by then it was too late to play for any teams
I enjoy playing soccer more but really, it's just what you prefer. shouldn't be arguing about sports but being a fan of both, I would say -- American Football is a better sport for competitive play. American football is just something that involves more emotions. Especially college football in which every game is a play off game for the top teams (well it was in the BCS era) The problem with soccer for me is the MONEY. It's ridiculous how much the european clubs are dependent on money for their success. if a big club is doing terrible, the owner is being blamed for not spending money to buy more players instead of the players for their performance. also how a player cannot make his team his own, but is bought from a richer team and has to wait his turn to get into the team. in America there have been a lot of cases in which a team was built around one player, or got better after a player's arrival. in Europe it's always the same damn teams. but. I hope soccer gets bigger in America. only because I want our country to the best at another thing ppl care about ;-)

in terms of skill inside of the team USA are easily part of the lower tier in the cup. Ghana, Portugal, Germany have 5+ champions league players at top clubs, USA have 1. to have performed this well in this group was really amazing\ but at the same time expected because the USA are always underdogs that can't be ***ed with.

Idk Germans had an extra 27 hours of recovery as well. We'll see next round what happens. I personally do not like Bradley at all. Jurgen is a great coach IMO though.

naw USA was real weak against Germany Dagon... I was shocked that Germany didn't score 3 or 4 goals even though Germany did start pretty much only working on the clock the last 30 minutes... Germany's play style and agressive defense was far better then USA's... Thats coaching

For both teams it was a chill match, no need to go too hard. Risk of injuries is too high considering they knew Portugal scored so they both had it easy
If you can kick out Ghana and Portugal, it's kinda your sport.. Not your best, but still kinda good

don't know which was worse? Germany having the ball the whole game and only scoring 1 goal, or USA not being able to hold on to the ball at all? lol Germany is clearly better then USA... The low expections for USA says it all... Not our sport :)

The specialised random old guys off the streets they show on our TV in between matches say our style is very unlike the past and mostly based around defending and trying to counter quickly. They seem to agree both 2010 and 2014 are ugly football though.
Have fun with France and Brazil on your side of the playoffs once Germany tops their group. I'm currently messing with this thing with predictions presumably computed based on previous matches http://www.bloomberg.com/visual-data/world-cup/#0,3,-1 Somehow they didn't predict GER 4 - 0 POR and NED 5 - 1 SPA. They also have predictions on how likely teams are to win etc: https://www.bsports.com/world-cup#.U6t4PqYc038 Belgium must be doing pretty well to get higher than us |

![]() BTW, Suarez is one crazy weirdo with the biting attacks. It's a shame Italy lost mostly due to bad referee decisions tho

I'm german and I dont give a ****, because it just bores me.
Just because you "get knocked the f*** down" (with lots n lots of protection on you) doesn't make the sport better. Nothing makes a sport better than the other. But competition isn't the reason Phant, maybe latinos and asians couldn't compete, maybe, but that still doesn't rule out most of Europe. Or Africa. It's just not popular here, same goes for baseball.. Anyway, back on topic, I'm glad the US is putting in a good team for the world cup, makes things more interesting and has already brought some surprises.

Well the europeans on this site just called it hand egg, doesnt look like they are worried about filling a physical requirement. I love football , played it in high school and some of my best friends on that team come from latin families, moreover there were alot of great latin players that played in the NFL.
