Nothing, just that it wasn't isolated to one team.

... i mentioned more than one team in my post

 

[Disagree Guy]

Didn't some English players not want to be in the world cup squad because of wages?

Lol those players stole a wage......

You did, my bad.

 

[akaoni]

Today has been so slow. I'm thirsting for a USA meltdown tonight.

 

[Confrontation]

I hope that after a while, when everyone on and around the pitch, aswell as at home knows that both teams play for a draw, the US get arrogant and score a goal. Dat 1st place ahead of Germany, can't pass that up. Caught them sleeping...but they piss off the Germans and they go Godmode on the US for a 6-1 hammering.

 

[andycapps]

Let's do this.

 

[MikeHaggar]

the US is going through today, guaranteed. i can't wait to watch these matches. 3 and a half hours!

You mean 10 pages of 'FREEDOM' bullshit regardless of what happens?

Followed by 10 more pages of 'USA was robbed' after they lose.

Gonna be a looooong night

Edit: oh and we got pages of k-pop gifs to look forward to after that lol

USA meltdowns wouldn't be half as bad as Germany's if US pulls out a win.

If the US plays Belgium in the 1/8th, I'm not going into town to watch it on a big screen but staying at home just for all those reactions in this thread (actually, a future OT probably). It's gonna be beautiful.

 

[trixx]

So Kevin Boateng and Muntari has been sent home? Whats going on with my team pleaseee why the drama -__-

 

[Disagree Guy]

Yeah but the pages of pointless 'YEAH' or 'FREEDOM' posts is so irritating when USA win lol. At least make a point....

If Ghana go through I don't care who wins in Germany vs USA really.

What are you insinuating?!

I actually prefer to watch at home, I can get a bit autistic when I watch a football game...

Yes I expect the thread to be full of gloating DutchGAF B-)

I'd rather go out to the bars and watch I did that for the Portugal game and it was a really fun experience.

 

[alstein]

I'd rather go out to the bars and watch I did that for the Portugal game and it was a really fun experience.

Got to watch the first game in a coffehouse and it was glorious, second I couldn't. THis one- I'm just not going to be able to get up in time to watch there.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Conspiracy to get more UEFA teams through.....

Spoiler

obviously it's because of money tho..

 

[Zaph]

So if Germany and Portugal win today with a 2-0 and 3-0 result or similar GD, USA and Portugal draw straws?

If USA draws the short straw, pretty sure GAF will implode and pretty much every American will never watch football again.

 

[Arjen]

Me 2, i watch every Dutch match in a bar. So much fun.

 

[CassSept]

So Muntari and Boateng are 100% out of the team, right?

Welp, got to change my predictions for today.

 

[Xando]

If USA draws the short straw, pretty sure GAF will implode and pretty much every American will never watch football again.

That would make for some delicious meltdowns.

 

[gutter_trash]

Muntari got booked 2 consecutive yellows (1 for each match played) making him miss today's match... If that has anything to do with him being sent home early

 

[jayj306]

Didn't some English players not want to be in the world cup squad because of wages?

No, England players donate their wages to charity and have done since 2007.

Muntari wasn't going to play today anyway

i am pretty sure most Americans watching this cup will not watch soccer again until either the Olympics, or the next cup no matter what.

 

[trixx]

I dont understand why Balotelli continues to play in and for a country that subjects to such nasty, racial abuse. He wouldnt get that in the UK, France, and probably not Germany either. I have to applaud how resolute he is, but goddamn, there comes a time when enough is enough

He still supports Ghana's team. He was born and raised in Italy and his adoptive parents are likely the reason why he had the opportunity to play football

I don't see a problem personally.

 

[akaoni]

I'm not sure losing Muntari is a big deal, haven't found him that impressive.

 

[Confrontation]

What are you insinuating?!

I actually prefer to watch at home, I can get a bit autistic when I watch a football game...

I'm insinuating there will be sweet, American tears

Yes I expect the thread to be full of gloating DutchGAF B-)

After the thrashing by Mexico? I hardly think so!

I'd rather go out to the bars and watch I did that for the Portugal game and it was a really fun experience.

It really is, especially since we had to wait 12 years for that.

 

[Filaipus]

So is it today that the US is going to lose 3-0 to germany and Portugal win against Ghana 2-0? I BELIEVE!

 

[John Dunbar]

edit: nevermind, i forgot portugal didn't score against germany.

 

[Disagree Guy]

I'm not sure losing Muntari is a big deal, haven't found him that impressive.

He's better than the replacements on the bench though.

Essien is a beast but Rabiu, Badu etc... Just ain't enough.

Kadwo Asamoah could do a job but they put him in left back...

Tough times

Let alone no Kevin Beast Boateng

 

[AcademicSaucer]

lol Ghana, freedom can get rekt by germany and belgium then

the pure hate is getting from italian journalists these days is mindboggling. it's almost like they only expected the team to be out to start shitting him.

 

[Divius]

My shitty predictions:

POR 3 - 1 GHA
USA 1 - 2 GER

SKO 1 - 3 BEL
ALG 2 - 0 RUS

If Ghana go through I don't care who wins in Germany vs USA really.

Why u trying to.deny my freedoms

 

[Road]

Not sure if mentioned here yet...

Ghana has sent some $3 million in appearance fees in cash to the national team by plane.



http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/28021131

Their bodies are ready...

All USA has to do is triple those $3 million for Ghana to tie with Portugal.

Easy classification.

 

[Andrefpvs]

It's really ridiculous that a luck-based draw is still a tie-breaker. There's so many factors they could use before that, such as yellow and red cards, number of fouls, or even FIFA ranking.

 

[spekkeh]

He must hate freedom. Probably with the terr'sts.

Or worse.

They ought to have a penalty shootout as the last tie-breaker instead of drawing straws. That's not going to tire the teams out. Could televise it too for big ratings.

 

[Brashnir]

USA meltdowns wouldn't be half as bad as Germany's if US pulls out a win.

And what of the meltdowns when the game ends up cancelled due to a flood?

 

[oti]

So interested to see how big the US fan block will be at my German university's public viewing.

 

[CassSept]

Oh I completely forgot about that :/ Shame.
