I'm rooting for USA mostly because of the MURICA posts. murica-gaf always delivers
 
So if we beat Portugal, the match against Germany decides the WC right? That trophy is coming over...

I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN!
 
I really haven't followed soccer as much as I do other sports but it's awesome seeing so many Albanians playing for different national teams all across Europe. Had no idea we were rolling that deep throughout Europe.

They have a claim to one of the greatest players to play the game in Zidane.

EDIT: Misread, Zidane is actually Brazilian. /s

Yeah I think we have around 8 Albanians in this World Cup.

6 in Switzerland
1 in Belgium
1 in Germany

One day we will unify all the Albanian lands and have the greatest football team in the world.
 
Man football manager is only 50% on steam wonder if going drop further.

Oh yeah think watch Belgium then nap ready for USA vs Portugal at 11pm. I wonder if Portugal going to be in pissed off mode and be desperate to score
 
I can see it being a close game with Ronaldo being isolated due to USA targeted pressure. Then again he's going to be desparate in this match to make his mark on the tournament. So who knows.
 
On the one hand, there are two Germans on the US team and I dislike Ronaldo and his goons. On the other hand, I strongly believe in UEFA superiority over CONCACAF, so it's kinda evening out.

So with my completely unbiased view on the game, I think Portugal has the better players and the better team on paper, but there's a momentum to football and the US is closer to seizing that with an uplifting last-minute win compared to the Portuguese who are surely still licking their wounds from the reaming we've given them. That said...

Belgium - Russia 1:1
South Korea - Algeria 0:0 (worst match of the cup contender)
USA - Portugal 1:2

It's a good thing this day has a game in our group, otherwise it'd be the shittiest and least interesting day of the cup so far.
 
I'm channeling some Yuro-freedom towards the US team tonight, that's for sure.

They deserve to win this. Ronaldo weak in the knees, my boy Dempsey at max power. Give 'em hell!
 
I can see Ronaldo fake flopping and being carted off because he doesn't want 1 billion people seeing him cry when Portugal is crushed by the underdog
 
Sorry, US bros, but I have to give this one to Portugal.

Good luck tho, I'll be laughing with you if the upset does happen =)

Group H is like Kryptonite to good football.
 
So who's the favorite at this point? Argentina has looked like shit but they are 2-0 at this point. France maybe? I guess probably still Brrazil, but again, they haven't looked that good.
 
lol the 3 Spurs players are all dropped after their terrible performances against Algeria. It will be a while before Vertonghen gets another start.

Germany, if they start putting Schweini and Klose in the lineup.
