I said that same thing about the potential of USA v. Germany being meaningless and my friends basically called me an idiot. Not really all that unrealistic, imo.

As a side, since Pepe got the red, does that mean he's suspended for the USA game now too? Is that how it works in the world cup...too lazy to look it up lol

 

[JBS]

yes pepe is out

i also completely forgot almeida got hurt too...hes their top center forward...he probably will miss the game vs usa too...along w pepe AND Coentrao

rumors swirling that essien AND boateng are out for ghana today

this is a perfect storm for the usa!!!

 

[RastaRocket]

mexico looked pretty good vs cameroon but they arent going to give brazil much of a fight

Brazil didn't have a strong opener

Just take care of business please.

 

[RastaRocket]

no worries but yup Oscar wore down as the season went along for Chelsea.
to start the year he was even better than Hazard.
the last 15 or so games tho he was dead tired and sat a lot.

he was the best player on the pitch for Brazil to kick off the cup tho imho.

was mostly making a point that Brazil is pathetically deep enough to have Willian and Ramirez on the bench.
outside spain/germany other teams don't have that kind of depth.

I want to see Bernard play more for Brazil

 

[JBS]

Brazil didn't have a strong opener

they didnt..i agree w that..but croatia is better than mexico...i also expect brazil to play better

Croatia were missing one of their better players against Brazil in Mario Mandžukić. He will help Croatia over their next two group games.

GO USA

 

[CATCH17]

i have absolutely NO IDEA why people thought Portugal was some powerhouse...they are nothing and they are showing that today...

USA could not have asked for a better start to this day

I've said all along that the winner of Ghana and USA will advance.

Portugal needs the USA and Ghana to draw.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

They don't really, all they have to do is beat USA and Ghana and they move on. Whether they can or not is another issue.

Neither USA nor Ghana will beat Germany barring a miracle.

Therefore, would be

Germany 9 points
Portugal 6
USA/Ghana 3 or under

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I want to see Bernard play more for Brazil

he might because Hulk is hurt

 

[CATCH17]

Let's go!!!!

 

[daschoo]

Going to be in a minority of one here but I'm supporting Ghana

 

[daschoo]

In saying that I do like Bedoya despite him having had a spell at Rangers. Oh and Howards beard is pretty good for a bald man

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Nice start for the yanks

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Dayum Altidore out with a hammy... Having Donovan still on the team would look good about now.

 

[daschoo]

Johansson to me is a better player than Altidore. That looked a sore one for Dempsey, glad he seems to be ok to continue.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Do ppl really believe that it was the right decition to leave Landon off this team...none of these guys have the skill on the ball that he does.

 

[LatinMind]

Disappointing game for US. Theyre winning but they dont look good. Agree with most Landon should be on this team even if he is a backup. Exactly what Mexico did with Chicharito.
