All we need to do is finish second in the group. Sure Germany will probably win it. Beat Portugal and Ghana and we got it.

If we go into the Germany game with 4 points we will have a good shot at going through.

Any less than 4 and we will need a miracle.

Hopefully Germany gets 6 points in their first two matches and they're in a position to take it easy in the last match against us.

You guys are hella positive, that is a brutal draw. Like when a small child gets attacked by a large dog.

How long until Ronaldo switches to the right side to match up against DMB?

O/U 10 minutes



If DMB is our starting LB, we deserve to lose and lose badly.

Could be worse though. I'm English. Our group is easier but we're matched up with Spain/Holland's group in the second round. Even if we make through we're fricked.

Yep. We need them to cruise, we need to beat Ghana, take points from/beat Portugal, and have Ghana take points from/beat Portugal.

Ideal progression: Germany 7
USA 5
Ronaldo 2
Ghana 2

5-4-1 and bring back Carlos to sit in the middle of the box and hurt people. We win on set pieces or lose miserably trying to play football.

Nah I really think we can play with these guys. We won't get humiliated, but we won't get out of the group in Jurgy tries to go toe to toe with them.

So, even if we escape the group, our path to the finals looks like this: Belgium, Argentina, Spain

Quarterfinals would be a great World Cup
