US has no interest in attacking outside of a counter. Will be interesting to see what happens after Germany goes up.
bradley is so shit.Blame me, I bought his jersey.
Every player whose jersey I buy goes through a slump, gets injured, or gets traded. :(
Klose gonna score and if it is clear we are gonna advance Klinsmann is gonna let it happen if it hasn't happened by the end.

Attacking only opens up more opportunities for a German counterattack so why not just focus primarily on defending when you don't actually need to win the match to advance?
Oh there is nothing wrong with the strategy. I was more interested in if Germany would try if they were up but it looks like they are.

Thank Jesus.
We deserved to get out.
Very unsatisfying way to do it, but it's seriously impressive to get out of that group with a win against Ghana and that display against Portugal.

makes plenty of sense.
This isn't a Notorious BIG song -- you aren't only as good as your last transaction. This dumb complaint about the Group Stage is like complaining that a team that lost the last game of the season shouldn't make the playoffs. The USA earned enough points to advance, just like Mavericks earned enough wins to advance to the playoffs eventhough they lost their last game of the season.

When I think of buying soccer jerseys, I usually think of going nameless and numberless. I might pull the trigger on the red white and blue unis. They look so awesome
That's the jersey I have. Great shirt.Ewwwbradley is so shit.Blame me, I bought his jersey.

Too bad I'll have to burn it for the US to advance further.

that's the only way to do it unless you're getting a superstar jersey.

The only problem I have with the group set up is goal differential being the first tiebreaker and no head to head. It makes no goddamn sense.
Also the only players that are worthy of buying their unis on the US team are probably Dempsey and Howard.
I have a Mueller shirt and a Ribery shirt.
Not touching that Rocket Pop USA shirt with a ten foot pole.

Don't know what's gotten into Bradley, but hopefully he snaps out of it. He'll have to for us to have a chance vs. Belgium.
USA USA USA! Group of death lulz.
Too much freedom up in here.
You guys are gonna get waxed by Belgium. But thanks for helping make CONCACAF more relevant. All three teams made the bracket.

What I would like to see and never will.
-------------------------- Benzema -------------------
Griezmann ----------------------------------- Cabella
--------------- Matuidi ------------ Pogba -----------
------------------------- Sissoko ----------------------
Digne ---- Mangala ----------- Koscielny -- Debuchy
----------------------- Lloris --------------------------
Cabella is the closest thing to a skiller winger we have beside Grizi, and Mangala is probably our best CB, but Deschamps won't trust him. Sigh.
He'd rather play freaking Sissoko at RW and Benzema at LW.

German were often involved too.

Oh yeah. They only get three slots but I forgot a 4th team made it in via playoff this year.
Neymar is such a punk bitch diver. Glad the commentators are calling his bitchass out.
I hope he dislocates his vertebrae some day with those ridiculous somersaults.

My friends, who before were indifferent to soccer and sports, have been converted so hard with this World Cup. I've been turning that way as well.

I started watching soccer during the NBA lockout and its become 1a and 1b with basketball as my favorite sport to watch.
If there are people interested, I can make a SLAENT beginner's guide to the Premier League/European Football/Soccer thread after the World Cup.

Oh god. Please do not call it that. Amalgamating the Premier league with the sport as a whole... :roll:

Yeah, this was me with the 2010 World Cup. Only watched games here and there before that but that one four years ago got me hooked. I can't really watch any other sports besides basketball or soccer though, no matter how many chances I give them.
