It doesnt mean anything though.

"BREAKING: Obama could land on moon by 6pm today"

Is just as factual. It COULD happen.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the tweet, but ESPN is reporting that FIFA officials in the stadium are telling them that the field conditions will be checked an hour before game time and a decision on whether or not to play will be made then.

edit - ESPN just reported that FIFA are now saying that the pitch is operational as of now.

This chart is wrong. For example, if Portugal wins 2-0 and Germany wins 3-0 there's a draw.

@GrantWahl At Recife stadium now. No flooding. Can see firsthand the difference between "FIFA-standard" and standard for ordinary Brazilians. Shameful.

Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards of the US Mens National Team!
You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms in other teams, you will bring about the destruction of the German soccer machine, the elimination of German soccer over the oppressed teams of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will play savagely.
But this is the year 2014! Much has happened since the German triumphs of 1990. Fifa have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage long balls on the ground. Our forwards have given us an overwhelming superiority in heading and shooting, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained soccer men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in the field.
We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.


LETS GO USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

Prediction: USA 8 - 0 Germany
 
I saw Wahl's tweet too, but we're not sure where he's looking from. This angle makes it look questionable.

well, the Netherlands/Spain game had a pretty heavy rain going on during all match, and the pitch resisted pretty well. I don't think this match it will be delayed

Are you talking about the numbers of cards? Because that's the only way this makes sense... ;)

We'll see. There's a difference between heavy rain and standing water a couple feet deep all over the city.

That said, I don't know where the stadium sits. If it's on high ground, it will probably be OK. If it's not, runoff could become problematic. I understand the stadium is pretty far from downtown where most of the people are staying, so we don't really know what it looks like in that particular area.
 
If anyone arrives at Brazil with more than $ 4.000 needs to pass through a special verifying by the feds.

Then all of a sudden a plane carrying 3 million (and who can guarantee that was only the money, or exactly this amount) arrives at the country's capital, and the money is scouted by the feds to Gana's hotel.


this country is a joke.
 
Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we run with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest soccer team in the world. You were born to be soccer players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great soccer team the Germans have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it.
 
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.

It's just pointless fun and it's just a joke. Americans love to make fun of ourselves, we just don't like it when others do. We got that from the English.
 
Now England have disappeared up their own arse again I have been supporting USA, really hope they can win today.

Sadly though, I think they will be destroyed by the Germans.
 
So Suarez destiny will be know in 30 mins according to local newspaper...

I hope FIFA does the right thing.
Banned for the next WC qualifiers, WC final round in Russia and the next Copa América too
 
So today the United States and Germany both only need a tie to advance. Therefore both teams have much to risk by engaging in a game that neither needs to win. If economists ran both teams, then upon the opening whistle both teams would sit down and start playing card games or rock, paper, scissors for 90 minutes, thereby creating a mutually beneficial tie that leaves both teams well rested for the next round. But instead both teams are going to be unwise and actually play.
 
thanks for the tips! will have a cheeseburger and freedom fries

actually the conference is ~15 minutes late already
 
Just read about the Ghana infighting, smh. They are self destructing.

This will cost them sadly just as it did Cameroon & France in 2010 :(

Edit: My heart wants a US/Ghana qualification but my head tells me it's going to be Germany/USA. If it's Germany/Portugal then I'm done with this World Cup!

I'd be more worried for the Ghanaian players having 3M in cash lying around at the hotel while they play.
