have never known a British person with strong opinions on Portugal either way I don't think

wait was the original qu about the football team or the actual nation

Fuck that shit. Aren't we over hating Germany by now? Consistently great teams and players for 24 years now, ever since Voller/Matthaus/Effie retired.

ya footy or wars

portugal v crap so far

Football team xp

into footy I cannot dig Italy's not bothered style

germany prob most hated in general, but rvp, sneijder, robben, de jong make a compelling case too imo

It's hard to love, this is true. Xp

Can't fault you there Ogmor

Brian Kerr 'dabeasley' #1

still england. I mean the last 3 tournaments they've stunk the joint out, and the one before that they didn't even qualify.

Klinnsman is normcore+ today. I dig it berry much

ha i was just thinking this, he's dressed to take the kids to disneyworld.

klinnsman just did a SCHUUUUUULTZ move of frustration there

Portugal are worse than England

struggling to give credence to Lawro's utter disbelief at this US policy of leaving men back to ward against the counter, he's just fuckin trolling.

I get the horrible feeling this is going to be tough luck for USA. Portugal doing next to nothing compared to the hard graft of the USA team, but somehow you just know who's going to end up on top after ninety minutes.

Was a great article in, think it was NYT today or yesterday, about Klinsi's normcore khaki's. The writer begged him to wear a suit next time.

ronaldo is at about suarez level fitness, if that i reckon

Portugal are worse than England

this dempsey lad looks a player, sign him up someone

What is that glyph in Ronaldo's head, looks like he's lost a bet

portugal will always be weepy drama queen central to me

still have a von bommel hatred hangover with the netherlands though they are p undeniable this time around

lol dayo

It's even worse. He did it without having lost a bet.

Xxp

meirelles has played at least 3 lazy cross field passes that have almost been cut out, drives me mad.

Ghana should make short work of Portugal if they don't revert to the mindless tactics they used against the US

yah Harrison on the right, Gyan inside right + chelsea kid should shred the left side of this defence

Wait why is everybody allowed to go to the sidelines all of a sudden

ronaldo is moving as if he worked out he's got ten runs in him & is carefully pacing himself

Think they must have called this match and agreed to go home

I've seen Beckerman straight up level a Fire player with a headbutt in a relatively meaningless MLS game, he is a fuckin bruiser for sure.

Heat break for water. Xp

ronaldo must be injured not smoking the defender one on one there

The USA are one player short of being quite good, and that player is Beckermann

Call me unsportsmanlike, but I'd match fix this Beckerman feller to break one of Ronaldo's legs tbh. Wouldn't think twice.

did howard whiff the first one?

Glad Howard's still awake

jeez what a save!

wtf why you want ronaldo hurt??

lol, that was p terrible goalkeeping rly

Hyperbolic, but do I absolutely have every single thing about Ronaldo? Sure do.

Have=hate

weird

Cameron almost made lbi's dream come true

Agree that Beckerman is not rly on this level but the US defense would be worse without him. That said Diskerud would be an interesting addition in the second half.

Hmm. Finely poised, innit? US on top now but always looking shaky on the break. Have actually wound up being very impressed with Beasley this time, btw - possibly the most composed player on the pitch, Dempsey excepted. Bradley's doing alright too in the midfield bob-a-job role.

Think USA have quite a decent chance to get a result here actually.
