and yours has fucking britches

upshot has US's chances of advancing at 63%, fivethirtyeight has it at 76%

yeah and they had Spain at 61% to win the tournament

that stuff is such bullshit

when will you learn your precious statistics can't be applied to this delightfully crude game

when you think ronaldo will zig, his haircut zags instead

lol, your sport has TIES

Nothin but a (Group) G thang

US plays in Recife on Thursday, hamstring safe.

Loads of USA newbs straight blaming Bradley for giving it away and that wasn't good but there was coverage back and only one runner.

i had to skip most of this thread tonight due to cares but love him though i do t-how kinda messed up that first port goal

Cantor breaks out the English on Jones' ngoool.

he sure likes goals

I bet his kids don't even think twice about what to get him for Father's Day. They just get him goals.

lol

belgium has been pretty wack this tournament i'm already basking in the glow of america's shocking upset

considering degree of difficulty and game jermaine jones goal was the sickest goal in US history imo

clint dempsey getting the univision guy to call him "captain america" en ingles >>> http://screamer.deadspin.com/clint-dempsey-knocks-home-the-goal-to-put-u-s-up-2-1-o-1594589939/+bubbaprog

hey everyone you'll never guess what some spanish-language commentator did

Can it Louis or I'll start talking about my fantasy team

weird i didn't realize they still let british people post in the world cup thread, i guess that's nice

i guess if i could say that there's one thing EVERYONE in this thread needs to do tonight, it's listen to the univision call of jermaine jones' goal (or, as the spanish language announcer puts it, a "goalazo")

I think what we need is to know what Lawro had to say, or maybe Shearer. What shirt were they wearing when they said it, too?

I can't believe how devastated I was at the end of this game

me too. i think it was that goal.

that one at the very end.

Good analysis. Well done.

This is truly a red letter day if Bill Magill is getting on board

I'm far from an expert but I grew up going to Chicago Sting games featuring Karl-Heinz Granitza and some brilliantly afro'd goalie named Parks, I think. I'll watch anything with a ball (or puck) where they keep score. I've watched most if every game espn has televised, this is awesome stuff.

Looked it up the guys name was Phil Parkes.

handy

nice tetris chart

us foam hand pointing up means advance

someone make a gif of Miley slowly descending onto that graph

Sad that I took the sensible option of going to bed rather than watching USA v Portugal.

Is this the Best World Cup Ever? It's probably the one I've enjoyed most since 1994. Common factors = late-night games and England not being on the same continent as the other teams.

its as good as any I can remember overall, though its hard to compare it to the tournaments Ireland were at obv

dream scenario for maximum lolz (correct me if this is not how it would happen though):
portugal-ghana 2-0, germany-usa 3-0
portugal and usa both on 4 points with the same goal differential, same number of goals scored,direct confrontation is a tie... which would lead to a coin toss to see who goes through. as i said, great fun for everyone not supporting either of those teams, one of those countries feeling wronged forever.

my Dad once told me the story of a local FA guy who decided the result of an abandoned match by coin toss over the phone

hahaha that is fantastic!

I want to see Cronaldo's face when he gets kicked out of the world cup by a coin toss SO BAD.

btw the net sound for Jones's goal last night

*flamboyantly kisses fingertips*

yeah the brittle, running-scared vibe at the end of the game and the tremendous disappointment of that last goal shouldn't erase the fucking awesomeness of JJ's moment

If ya'll weren't watching the Univision feed to begin with then I just don't know

for many this would probably push the world cup from great to best ever

cherry-on-top: Nani gets to toss the coin

He'd probably miss the ground.

I think you are all way way overestimating how much this WC means to Ronaldo. He knows he's not fit and isn't gonna be fit in the weeks ahead, he knows he plays in a terrible team. He looked like he was taking being knocked out last night in a resigned fashion.
