World Cup 2014

let's not pretend that's not a great result tho yanks

XP you mad, Bradley has been excellent right up til that decision

wooooow

Somehow I knew that defensive fuckup at the start of the game would bite us in the ass. Simple as that.

;_;

after all the close calls I'm not surprised, but God is that heartbreaking. still a 'good' result but not the great one needed.

bradley ballsed that last one up but he was 10 times better this game, credit where credits due

yeah I'm in favour of Bradley overall but he lost possession 30 yards from a goal shortly before that. think his legs had gone idk

Ghana / Portugal is going to be great.

So US has to tie Germany now?

yep

Portugal not eliminated yet ffs, but will post this anyway:

crying ronaldo best thing ever

maybe not depending on goal diff

BBC commentator was going over Ronaldo's hubris with thinly disguised glee about 60 seconds before the goal and basically saying that he would now get no chance to achieve WC icon status

Yep, a draw isn't much good to Portugal unless they hammer Ghana or Germany hammers the US.

hope ghana creams portugal

it's best for US if port/ghana draw, if not a portugal win by the odd goal as long as US don't get caned by Germany.

sucks but it's p easy to envisage Germany steamrollering the US

bring out the kraut hammer

I don't think Germany will thrash USA, will take things says in light of the next round.

Says=easy

if portugal don't beat ghana then the US are thru regardless and i don't see why portugal will beat ghana

US best side is on the right which is the German weakness

usa have a bit of fight left in them, dont count your mullers before they hatch imo

nah, ghana can go above the USA quite easily

ghana can overtake US

xp

it's goal difference first, not head to head

i thought head to head was 1st tie breaker?

xp obv

is it illegal for Germany and America to purposely tie

no

well yes but hard to stop

ANSCHLUSS

more likely both teams will play hard but if it's tied with 10 mins to go they may ease off

ghana had better beat those preening lumpen shitbags by a score of many, or i'll be unamused

Man, if Germany and US ties plays 0-0 and Ghana wins, you guys will be hated all over the world. People will holler and laugh when you get kicked out by Belgium.

If Ghana and Portugal ties, US is through. If Ghana wins by one and US loses by one, US can still go though depending on goals scored. Portugal has to win by a whole lot of goals to go through, has to catch a goal difference of five. US is really the favorite.

But, sorry, rooting for Ghana...

I'd much rather Ghana qualified than the US but they totally played themselves in that first game so it's completely their own fault if they don't

1982 all over again...

yeah the mitigating factor is that that goal saved ghana

the US is still a heavy favorite to advance, right? they just have to not get blown out by germany and hope portugal keeps it close

Fuck the world imo, USA USA USA.

us are gonna get spanked imo

think a goal win for ghana and a goal loss for US leaves them tied?

or what fred B said

imago "preening lumpen shitbags" A+ ty for those lols

Well, if Ghana wins 1-0 and US loses 1-0, US is through on goals scored. 2-1 win for Ghana and 1-0 loss for US, yup, tied. But then US is through on games played against each other. 3-2 win to Ghana and 1-0 loss to US, Ghana is through on goals scored. It cannot be a tie.

I would expect germany to score at least twice, the team doesn't suit sitting back. ghana will probably beat a possibly knackered portugal, I think it will be tight

germany win 4-0, portugal score wrongly-awarded last-minute penalty to go 1 up, then CRON own goal with 97 on the clock

this and only this will satisfy me

it's clear that the USA and Ghana will both advance after winning their games

if any manager knows how to beat this germany team, you'd think it'd be jurgen

US wins by one, Ghana beats Portugal 6-0. Ghana and US are through. In round 2, Ghana beats Belgium and Algeria beats US. Yeah, I can live with that.
