I just don't see Germany colluding again after the 1982 fiasco

They don't need collusion to get through and have no reasons to help the US team when every one knows they thoroughly outclass them.

 

[leroidys]

Are y'all simply gonna ignore this whole match? It's not like we barely pulled off a fluke. We had a great performance. Our biggest obstacle will be our morale after this, but if Klinsmann manages to get players to play as aggressive as this game, we can easily get a draw.

Bradley and finishing problems aside, USA dominated the match.

 

[MIMIC]

We deserve to lose to Germany (plus, I don't have enough patience to wait until THURSDAY, lol)

We literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

everyone calm down
USA are still 99% safe
worst case scenario it comes down to GD and USA are pretty safe there

How? If it comes down to Goal differential the US are in the worst position possible. US is +1, Ghana is -1. If they lose to Germany and Ghana beats Portugal at best they would be EQUAL. At worst they would be out.

 

[Ela Hadrun]

is there a petition anywhere to fire bradley

 

[SkylineRKR]

That's freaking stupid.

Some countries actually use head to head, such as the Spanish league. But World Cup is goal difference.

Hmm, not really.

USA +1
Ghana -1

It's pretty close.

 

[meanspartan]

Ghana beating portugal by 2 is unlikely. Same withportugal beating ghana by like 4. That ending sucked, but odds are US is in.

 

[Wazzy]

This whole WC is fucking crazy.

Thank god I already know my team is going to the next round.

[Nickle]

Would colluding with Germany be illegal? It would be hilarious to see players on both sides just working on their tans for 90 minutes.

 

[thaOwner]

i wonder if Germany and USA will "Corporate" lol

Wondering ? It's all but over. Germany are fielding their bench in their next game are going to do their bare minimum which should be enough to see both sides through.

 

[silver.tongue]

So who will be against this group in knockout stage?

BEL, ALG, RUS, KOR.

So probably GER x ALG; BEL x USA;

USA can totally beat Bekgium btw...

Than possibly Argentina in quarters.

I disagree our biggest obstacle will be double agent Bradley.

 

[Envelope]

USA - Germany 1-0
Ghana - Portugal 5-1

Germany out!!

This result would be so amazing I want it to happen

 

[diehard]

So the US still ties over counties with our D team athletes?

That's pretty cool.

 

[HotHamWater]

Greece will win this World Cup.

 

[Dragon]

Me neither. I remember quite clearly the USSR winning a big war over Germany, but that's about it.

You remember? Are you 70 years old?

 

[Branduil]

why?

Because it's stupid to rank a team B higher than team A when they're tied in points and the actual on-field results showed team A was better.

 

[Courage]

I disagree our biggest obstacle will be double agent Bradley.

Probably won't even start next game.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Germany - USA
Portugal - Ghana


If Germany and USA tie, they both past round. Germany first and USA second.

If Germany wins:

-If Portugal and Ghana draw, Germany 1st USA 2nd

-If Portugal wins depending of the numbers of goals, Germany 1st, USA/Portugal 2nd.

-If Ghana wins depending of the numbers of goals, Germany 1st, USA/Ghana 2nd.

If USA wins:

-If Portugal and Ghana draw, USA 1st Germany 2nd

-If Portugal wins depending of the numbers of goals, USA 1st, Germany/Portugal 2nd.

-If Ghana wins depending of the numbers of goals, USA 1st, Germany/Ghana 2nd.


An example of how USA and Ghana can go to the next round:

Germany 4 pts / +4 goals
USA 4 pts / +1 goals
Ghana 1 pts / -1 goals
Portugal 1 pts / -4 goals

USA 3 - 0 Germany
Ghana 3 - 0 Portugal

USA 7pts / +4 goals
Ghana 4pts / +2 goals
Germany 4pts / +1 goals
Portugal 1pts / -7 goals

So there's a fair chance here that the US can make it through, it seems...

 

[lord quas]

Well, now we have to destroy you. You begged for it!

but... but... I'm not even American .

Low was Klinsmann's asst.

 

[Panda Rin]

What happens when Ghana wins 1-0 and US loses 1-0? US still advances with the win over Ghana?

 

[TheOohChild]

I predict Clint will score two dick goals against Germany

 

[Nerokis]

Welp, USA is fucked. No way they gonna tie against Germany let alone win.

US needs to avoid a blowout, and Ghana vs. Portugal needs to be a close game. In that scenario, the US still has a chance.

We're still not done.

 

[oti]

Oh well, it's 2AM right now. Great match. See you soon, USA.
Germany will win.
Deutschland wuhuuu!

Need to replace Bradley

 

[flyover]

Yes, but how badly will Germany bash the US? That's the other part of the goal differential equation.

 

[TheOddOne]

Lol Germany will not collude, they will walk all over the US then Moonwalk all the way back.

But what if they don't. LULZ.

Best World Cup.

 

[Mobius 1]

Imagine if Ronaldo was fit. This would have been a 4-2.

The US is still in a decent position, provided Portugal doesn't collapse in front of Ghana. So go out and support your team until it's over.

Spoiler

But Germany will absolutely murder you.

 

[perfectchaos007]

If the USA doesn't qualify after being 10 seconds away from advancing, that could set soccer/futbol back 20 years in America. We're not good at dealing with failure in a worldwide sporting event like the English are. I commend the English on still being gung-ho about soccer after so much disappointment year after year

 

[giga]

39 seconds Bradley, you fuck.

 

[Arjen]

I'm still laughing my ass off. Bloody amazing

 

[Oersted]

I cant stand the Us too and its "we are police of the world" attitude but yeah Portugal should have lost.

Stop mixing politics in in such a way.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

There was this history thing. I can't quite remember it.

Good luck, you have less of a chance than the rest of the Allies.

Just an aside, I hear a lot of Americans reference WW2 as if they were on their own side.

Spoiler

Maybe we could team up

I really did want the US to win though.

[BizzyBum]

I feel like Germany is going to smoke the US. That goal is going to be on their minds the whole way through now, it's going to haunt them unless they do manage to advance to the round of 16.

 

[Konosuke]

USA - Germany 1-0
Ghana - Portugal 5-1

Germany out!!

It's the only thing that can console me now-

 

[artist]

That's pretty cool.

lol at attempting to deflect the pain away.

 

[volgihn]

Greece will win this World Cup.

You need to score goals to win a World Cup.

 

[Ikuu]

I'd expect Germany to come out and try and smash the US, after the Ghana game they'll be wanting to prove something. Also Klose going for the record.

 

[CRS]

Reposting this picture.

 

[TheFatOne]

Probably won't even start next game.

hopefully

he's an enemy of freedom

 

[Tarkus]

Sorry US, even though I'm a born and raised citizen, I support Germany in football. Thanks to the Fox Soccer channel for airing Bayern Munich games.

 

[kingkitty]

Gonna pray for USA - Germany collusion tie.

Or a Ghana - Portugal tie.

 

[Gorillaz]

Bar got quiet as fuck when Portugal scored at the end.

Justice freedom democracy still lives on regardless

 

[ryutaro's mama]

This whole WC is fucking crazy.

Who is your team, Wazzy?
