If we all had jobs where every minute counted, TBP would die.

Haha, I hear you man. I just meant if he wanted to leave work early, then he'd have another half hour wiggle room to get to a bar, home or friends place to watch the game. I've already told the boss I'm leaving a couple of hours early Tuesday.

I probably should watch the pre-game. They explain the rules, right?

Sofa King happy USA advanced!

I'm an Argentina fan, so very happy with their draw. Portugal is very overrated. If Ronaldo has an average day, USA can pull a draw or win. If we can get a win against Ghana, which I think is likely, then we have a great chance to get out of the group. We have no chance against Germany. USA and Portugal are very even imo.

 

 

This is a terrible draw, even having to travel 8,000 miles during the three games and getting the worst venue - someplace in the Amazon.  I don't think anyone else in the world believes the US and Portugal are even, but it is possible to win that game.  Problem is that the US defense has had all sorts of issues with less talented scoring teams.  And Ghana is the team that always beats the US regardless of talent level, the Rutgers to our USF.

 

Sucks, but maybe Klinsmann has elevated the team to another level.  If we can somehow manage to get out of this group it would get the attention of the world.

I still think they are overrated and will gladly come back to this thread and say I was wrong if they smoke us. And I just did a quick google search of soccer power rankings and clicked on the 1st link. Portugal is ranked 16th and the US is ranked 17th in the world. They are Ronaldo or bust. If he has an average Ronaldo day like he does sometimes, they are an average team. He is no Messi.

What's up now Shadowbull?

 

 

Your point would be?  We had a very impressive three games and we did get the attention of the world.  What did I say that offended you?

Hey, that was a tough group, and aside from the incredible defensive blunder in the 95th minute with Portugal we brought great game. Now, we draw an equally tough route in the knockout round--Belgium then Argentina/Swiss IF we can get there. Each advance is a hard-earned effort this year. Go US!!

Awesome matches this weekend.
