**Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Thread**

Why don't the goalies catch and tuck the ball like Wrs in the NFL. Fuck all that punching of the ball.

On defense in the NFL, you are taught to knock the ball down and away, but in futbol the ball is still alive and playable after a punch or swat.
 

USA!USA!USA!USA!.....

I have been a fan since way back....at least 6,7,8 hours now:lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

I show up every year on the first day of the cup... not knowing who is who. Maybe by next time I'll actually know who's on the team beforehand.

:lol::lol:

that was horrible man..:lol:

Yea it really was, but were there man. Just gotta get better going forward.

And yes, Bradley chose the wrong time to be off. :smh::smh: He looks like he's having some kinda issue cause goodness... :smh:

I'd like to see some of Mix Diskerud going forward.

I usually don't root of the US when it comes to internation competition but been out with my blue/red/white on cheering the boys this year.

I say Bradley should sit vs. Belgium and Zusi needs to be taken off corners. The man is just over shooting those corners....I have no idea what he's doing with them. But definitely keep Jones in an attacking position. Good things happen when he's going forward.
 

Man.. US is in a good spot.

Going through Belgium, Switzerland/Argentina is much better they some of the other roads to the finals some other teams have.

Of course if they don't beat Beligum, it doesn't matter.. but if they do.. I can see them making it to the semi-finals
 
For those that watched the Belgium match.....did they still look incohesive and not functioning like a team or did they get it together a bit today?
 
US and Costa Rica got lucky, 4 yrs ago Costa Rica lost all three games. Mexico is the only real football nation in concacaf

Are we living in 2010 or 2014?

US did what they had to do as underdogs in the Group of Death and got out.

Costa Rica breezed through a group with three teams that combined for 7 World Cup trophies, and not only decimated them, but did so with ease.

And Mexico barely qualified out of CONCACAF, if not for that "lucky" US team.

But it's straight, like Pino said, "nobody rates CONCACAF." I was just interested in your opinion.

Tell you one thing, if that's "lucky", I need to learn some luck.

:lol:

I guess Spain had no luck.

4 yrs ago they were the world cup champ and 2 yrs ago the Euro champ.

Landon Donovan would be taking those corners.:(

And how come no one gives Algeria any love for making it....they are an African nation

First time 2 African teams make it to the knockout stages(If I'm not mistaken).

Yeah. I would be surprised if we beat Belgium but our path is actually not bad.
 
We posting up our knockout stage brackets gents???
one with US winning is my heart. Brazil winning is my head with a little heart mixed in at the end. I can realistically see them pulling it off at home, AND it would be kinda fun.



EDIT.... In the bracket where Brazil wins, I didn't mean to pick US over ARG
