JD nawrat Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 US were so close to qualifying there. Now there's a serious chance they won't do it (Ghana win, USA lose, USA are out). I still think they'll do it though. I think Ghana and Portugal will draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man11 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Not at all :confused: You are making it sound like I'm an American or some megafan of them or something. I've just stated I've been impressed by them and think on the showing of their world cup so far, they're the best side in their group. I don't expect them to top their group and I'm sure Germany will beat them. You don't expect the side that have been easily the best in the group to finish top? :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I wish Varela hadn't scored that, now we're in a black hole of virtually inexistent false hope similar to what England was the other day before the Italy-Costa Rica game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggressive minor Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Can't see them swinging that goal diff tbh. They need to beat Ghana 2-0 and Germany to beat USA by a few. I think the absence of Pepe and Coentrao was really telling today. edit- ignore the 2-0 Ghana part, I was thinking Ghana had 4 points for some reason.

georginho_juventusygr Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Great game. USA got heartbreak, which is a part of life and which Klinsmann, as a great man, can understand. USA will certainly come back stronger. They played very well. I feel for Cristiano Ronaldo. Portugal stink. He's the only world-class player, but he did his best today for his country. Nani, too.

ReggaeBwoy Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Feel bad for USA. Hope Germany and USA get a draw so both go through. Can see Ghana wiping Portugal off the floor judging by their performance tonight. Anyway Ronaldo cheer up you moany, self-indulgent ****.

TM Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ronaldo probably knows they are out unless he can score 3 or 4 against Ghana think the US/Germany could be a really good game actually, wouldn't be surprised if it finishes a draw as Germany's defence is vulnerable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
