lulz at the spanish girl not reacting when the camera is on her while everyone else smiles and waves.
Well the ridiculously big guys typically don't do very well in soccer because it's really really hard to lug 235 pounds around the pitch for 90 minutes.
And sure, Wilson or Manziel would be great soccer players capable of playing in Europe based on their athleticism alone. But American sports have always rewarded guys who were bigger, stronger, faster from youth level and up. Transcendant players like Xavi or Iniesta would've never made it if they played in the States because they would've been disregarded as "too small", "too slow" and never gotten a chance. We need to rethink how we approach soccer before we make blanket statments like, "Lebron would've DOMINATED soccer"
Well said.
No doubt the US would be able to have a very decent soccer team, 300+ million people, money and nation full of sports fanatics will do that but saying that the "athletic freaks" of the NBA and NFL would make that team and stomp everyone is just not true.

What a damn goal by Ivory Coast. One guy negating the whole defense.
I hope they'll be able to equalize.

Barely halfway through the first half and these ESPN English commentators are already losing the battle with hiding their bias in his England v Uruguay match. :lol:

England is out of the World Cup? Tell me something I couldn't have predicted myself, Nostradamus.they can still qualify but they need some help.
the postgame on this english stream i'm watching sounds like a funeral :lol:
Is Japan completely eliminated?
They had a couple good chances to scare late in the game…
At this point, the motherland won't be able to pass unless they beat Colombia and if CIV either lose or tie against Greece.
Slim chance, but I'm not gonna put my hopes too high. If they tie, they won't advance due to the number of points, sadly.
This was supposed to be our year but I guess bad passing, lack of focus, and the lack of strikers to midfielders cost us.

On the one hand, fuck England, it's always good to see those fuckers lose, on the other hand, we might be robbed of the greatest world cup joy of all - seeing them eliminated in penalties.

I thought Switzerland was looking in pretty good shape after their first game against Ecuador... wtf happened?
the most wide-open and fluid attack in the tournament happened.
i hope this French team doesn't collapse at the first sight of real competition because they have a championship quality team on paper.
