[mti79]

ummm... wow. Beautiful set play just moments after tying the game. Costa Rica has taken a 2-1 lead

 

[Filip Chytil]

Pirlo is unreal.

 

[Fugazy]

Pirlo is unreal.

So poised. I love watching him play.

 

[Jabroni]

US has to win tomorrow if they want a chance at advancing. I'll be watching.

 

[poeman]

Pirlo is the only player on Italy I admire...He is the definition of Legend which is above World Class

Soccer levels in my mind...Alot of players make world class moves but consistency is the thing...Pirlo is consistent and has done it time and time again and won at the highest level

Legend
World Class
Elite
Superstar
Star
The Rest

Absolutely. Sucks so much they got put in the toughest grouping. Take care of this one and move on from there

Also NEED Germany to beat Portugal. Hopefully obliterate them.

Great game so far.

Muller PK @ 10:00. 1-0 Germany.

What's the best case scenario for the the US in the Germany-Portugal game?

What's the best case scenario for the the US in the Germany-Portugal game?

Germany wins. They're the best team in the group and will most likely advance, the battle between Ghana/Portugal/USA will likely be for the 2nd spot.

 

[NYR89]

Germany wins.

Is that because we have a better shot at a result vs Portugal than Germany?

 

[NYR89]

Germany wins. They're the best team in the group and will most likely advance, the battle between Ghana/Portugal/USA will most likely be for the 2nd spot.

Can't edit my post, but that was what I thought too.

Yep. Germany losing doesn't help the US, Portugal/Ghana losing helps us the most. I want revenge on Ghana for the last WC.

Ghana has been a thorn in the side forever it seems like

USA fans should just be rooting for Germany to blowout every team they play, except us. We also play them last, so maybe if they have it wrapped up, we won't see their strongest starters.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Pepe being out against the US is huge.

Huge.

 

[aufheben]

Germany setting themselves up nicely for a blowout. 3-0 at the half and Portugal is down to 10 men. Could get ugly.

 

[NYR89]

Pepe being out against the US is huge.

Huge.

I assume he's one of the better defenders? Guys with one name tend to be pretty good

 

[Dalagaze]

Things are looking pretty good for the US if this is what Portugal has.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Yeah, he's Portugal's best center back. Alves is a pylon, and everyone else on the bench that can fill in is inexperienced or a pylon as well.

Good **** Portugal and **** Ronaldo

 

[AHB*]

USA needs to win tonight. Take advantage of this. Pepe out against US is massive. Could not have asked for a better first half. Now need Germany to get 3 more
