Going to be a crazy day.
US fans must be rooting for Portugal to win but not by 5 goals or whatever then, right?

Haha. <3
But the best football rivalries are the local ones.

Close enough?
Well, okay. But their team name is the New York Red Bulls, I wonder if that will change when NYCFC starts up.
Tony Meola was pretty great too. He actually came up through the club I played for.
Is such a thing even possible at this point?
Or for a US tie. Or for a Ghana win, but not by enough to upset the goal differential. There's plenty of ways for the US to make it out of the group.
Honestly, coming into this tournament I figured we'd be lucky to be in this position.
I think the US would need to beat Germany and Ghana would need a big win over Portugal to make it happen.

Even though I don't know where you are, I read this post in a Scottish accent and enjoyed it immensely.
It's for marketing purposes. They play in the same stadium as the Jets and the Giants.
Too soon...lol.

1:0 or 2:0 for P would be the best score towards the end, then US could lose against Germany but we've seen so many comebacks....
It is.
that feel when never experience such rivalries
If that's the case, can Chicago have another team pls all mighty mls federation
US beats Germany and Ghana wins and Ghana makes up the goal differential with Germany.
No they don't, the Red Bulls have their own arena.
wish the MLS would get rid of the playoff/conference/etc structure though. I get that they want it a bit Americanized and the supporters shield exists, but with the league expanding to a good amount of teams, playing every team twice is the best format imo. I guess distance makes that a bit tricky though.
Their coverage of non-USA stuff is actually decent (probably because they have a lot of legacy folks left over from when they had a lot more La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga rights) but their coverage of USMNT is appalling.
Taylor Twellman, Alexi Lalas, and Ian Darke: the holy trinity of maximum cuntiness

If Ghana destroys Portugal (possible) and the US beats Germany (not quite as possible), then yes.
They haven't played there for years. They have their own stadium a few miles away.
I might do that. It's been pretty fun following GAF threads this World Cup. When is the MLS in season anyway? I've never even seen it on TV while browsing channels or any commercials for it or anything.
Yeah, I tried getting into European leagues after the last World Cup, but couldn't handle the time zone difference and gave up pretty quickly.
Hand egg is my least favorite sport. Most boring piece of shit game ever. I'll never understand how it's so popular here.
It would be nice if they did, but I think the #1 thing MLS needs to take into consideration for expansion is the ownership group.
Getting the right owners really helped set Seattle off on the right foot which really heated up the entire Pacific Northwest. I mean of course Portland would be pumped for Soccer, but having an energized fanbase as a rival provides that extra kick. Tampa and Miami getting teams at the same time with the right owners that can create an electric atmosphere would be spectacular.
Bring back the excitement.
Bring back the hair!
It's inevitable.

I won't spoil it for you then.
Gus Johnson is bad right now, but he can be good w/ experience. At least he's got enthusiasm. Alexi Lalas has been at it for fucking ages and is still horrid.
So....no?

Right now. (Well, it's on break during the group stage of the WC, but will resume shortly)
The MLS season roughly coincides with Baseball season.
Fox is going all out. They spent way too much on the rights not too.

USA would need to beat Germany by like 3 goals or something I think. Not very likely.
I wish NBC would have run the rights to the next WC. Their production is top notch.

the talent gap isnt as big as u may think it is, u got ur messi's on the top tier but under that theres not much in it, football has become a pressing game so as long as you are quick, have good positioning and can control and pass quickly u can hang.
4 foreign players would be ideal... its about the long future, not flavour of the month imo.

I don't know what to believe anymore. Anyone can beat anyone it seems.
They do, and Lalas aside, I've really liked the Espn coverage.

Aw man, I didn't know that. That makes me slightly less agitated by the new stadium especially considering it's built to accommodate the team.
