You really shouldn't gloat about a draw when you all you could talk about beforehand was how the US would definitely lose...

At least the Belgians can finish you off if the worst comes to fruition.

The Algerians, thankfully, will probably make it to the Round of 16 now to avenge the vile conspiracy against them. Obviously the Americans will be torn apart next week.

Well all of Snowstalker's predictions about the USA have been completely wrong so far, so I'm glad he's predicted we'll be thrashed.

Well I had Portugal scoring 2 on you. Wink

lol @ snowstalker in this thread

Laughing at the USA while supporting literally the worst team at the World Cup.

Great game by the USA, probably their best performance ever in a World Cup. Really dominated Portugal for much of the game. But Portugal is a team with quality, and they'll pounce when you make mistakes, like Cameron and Bradley did in this game. But Germany and USA will be bros and draw the last game and everything will work out.

A reprise of the 1982 Non-Aggression pact of Gijón?

yes, let's hope so

Sickening.

I had hoped to see Portugal play somewhat poorly, but not this poorly. The US will be in for a shock when they play Germany. I mean, it's not "serious" person considering it's just sport, but coverage of this here is horridly biased. A lot of people sincerely believe that since they beat Ghana, and Ghana was able to draw Germany, that means the US team is skilled enough to defeat Germany. The US had no business winning that first game- it's apparent when you look at the stats that Ghana dominated. A lot of people are overestimating the quality of the American team. And I'm not saying this just because I need Germany to give the US a drubbing.

God yes, I couldn't stand ESPN coverage.

Ideally, Germany thrashes the Americans while Ghana beats Portugal, with your guys slipping through on goal difference. Frat tears ensue.

Chile and the Netherlands play before Mexico and Croatia, so your point is moot.

Two dirty teams in a slugfest. Hope the winner of this gets wiped out by I assume Colombia.

Vile, disgusting bastard of a referee. Go to hell.

Ideally neither team would make it out of groups; disgusting play from two of the most disgusting teams at this Cup so far. The closing insanity (Buffon!) made this somehow both the best match and the worst match so far.

Well Germany is for some reason completely unable to beat Italy and recently Spain in major tournaments. I'm not sure if Germany has EVER beaten Italy actually.

Only in friendlies.

Yeah but we need some Europeans in the knockout rounds so I'd be fine with this

Why? Greece is easily the most negative team at this Cup. Anyway, European dominance gets boring and I say this as a Spain fan.

Greece have been the most cynical and boring team of this competition. That they aren't dead last in their group is a shame. Hopefully the valiant Costa Ricans slaughter them.

Costa Rica will do what needs to be done.

The bloodbath will be enjoyable to watch, I hope.

You'll at least make it to the semis, if only because how relatively easy your path is.

Reza's goal means that every team at this World Cup has scored at least one goal. When was the last time that happened?

I predicted Algeria's passage into the Round of 16. Hopefully I will be able to accept my accolades tomorrow.

It's hard to imagine a Netherlands-Argentina semifinal not happening.

Either Mexico or Costa Rica will avenge us.

Argentina might improve in some of the knockout games and they played better against Nigeria than they did against Iran or Bosnia (despite conceding two goals), but I ultimately don't see them winning outright. France will win the World Cup; I am forecasting it now.
