[Tugatrix]

and we apologize that our Carlos Queiroz is your manger.

Spoiler

He is too defensive oriented

he just need a good offensive coach working with him and his teams would be unbeatable

 

[Last Uchiha]

Best topic title I ever seen )))

 

[BTM]

It is time

 

[Mory Dunz]

2 goals in 6 months..

Yeah, I know.
But it was previously 1 goal in 6 months. He would've gotten benched then if he was going to.

 

[Mesousa]

Dat salt.

I promise you judder that Ghana will win this by 2 goals. I promise you.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Altidore instead of johansson :x

TBF I'm not impressed by either, but at least Johansson has some semblance of form, Altidore has had as bad a year as you can get.

 

[Sadist]

Woah, neat fact there about Feyenoord

 

[jamesinclair]

What are you talking about? That isn't how TV works. All weekday games are on ESPN.

Um, thats the problem?

Its not like ABC has a blockbuster summer lineup.

Theyre being assholes like usual.

Univision had no issue dropping their entire schedule for the month

 

[RELAYER]

US cunt fans put me right off, the chelsea of international football.

u moppet

 

[Pooya]

holy shit. lol

 

[Alex_Mexico]

What are you talking about? That isn't how TV works. All weekday games are on ESPN.

Yes, except for that fact that USA vs Portugal landed on a Sunday and at the comfortable 6pm EST timeslot and still ABC passed on it instead choosing the two earlier games and not broadcasting the only USA game on a weekend.

For shame, America, for shame!

 

[Nesotenso]

Agreed.

this dude, lol

 

[inky]

Fuck me, should've fielded/captained more Iranian players.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Too bad they wouldn't really benefit. The 8 new spots are planned like this:

2 for CAF (Africa)
2 for AFC (Asia)
1 for OFC (Oceania)
2 for CONCACAF/CONMEBOL
1 for UEFA

Austria to compete in 2046 again

 

[LNBL]

Woah, neat fact there about Feyenoord

Yeah, though they missed De vrij in that list right? Or did I not hear it

 

[Wind's Howling]

I am sorry US-GAF but my pool says a 2-1 win for Ghana. I hope I am wrong just for you guys.

 

[Derp1na]

Woah, neat fact there about Feyenoord

Thanks for sharing it.

 

[jett]

Donovan doesn't play anymore?

 

[RoySFNR]

Nigeria whyyyy

 

[OgaKratos]

New thread title is apt. Congrats to those who slept indeed.

 

[segarr]

cryingeagle.jpg incoming

 

[snaffles]

I won't argue that this game wasn't the most boring but I feel Honduras deserve the honour for worst game so far. They were just thugs, I'll take boring over that.

 

[East Lake]

We can't sub in Lebron this year with the failed 3-peat. Would bring shame to the country.

 

[GQman2121]

Donovan doesn't play anymore?

He wasn't selected.

 

[gutshot]

Fuck me, should've fielded/captained more Iranian players.

Holy shit dude. Your fantasy team totally crapped the bed.

 

[FootballFan]

Usa

Usa

Usa

 

[MrKaepora]

The title should be "Congratulations to those who kept awake through Iran v Nigeria."

 

[Mory Dunz]

US cunt fans put me right off, the chelsea of international football.

Hm, we seem pretty tame compared to fans in other countries.
As in, hopefully you wont see bags of pee thrown on people, or anything thrown on the field really. And incidents of racisms are usually isolated, and not 1,000 fans singing something for all to hear.

 

[RELAYER]

Donovan doesn't play anymore?

He's passed out on the couch, gut hanging out, Doritos cheese dust caked onto the corners of his lips, empty beer bottles laying on the floor, the scene illuminated by the dim glow of TV.

 

[Pacbois]

Fuck me, should've fielded/captained more Iranian players.

Well people who played an auto-picked team must be happy now...

 

[cafemomo]

I HAVE MY BIBLE AND AMERICAN FLAG READY

SPREAD SOME FREEDOM AMERICA

 

[Salvadora]

Too bad they wouldn't really benefit. The 8 new spots are planned like this:

2 for CAF (Africa)
2 for AFC (Asia)
1 for OFC (Oceania)
2 for CONCACAF/CONMEBOL

Just what the World Cup needed, more CONCACAF teams.

 

[Star Falcon]

Only watched the last 10 minutes of that, boo. Hopefully Argentina and Bosnia qualify.

 

[Visceir]

USA has Klinsmann, they will win.

 

[Fisticuffs]

He's passed out on the couch, gut hanging out, Doritos cheese dust caked onto the corners of his lips, empty beer bottles laying on the floor, the scene illuminated by the dim glow of TV.

That's me not Landon Donovan.

 

[Santiako]

Donovan doesn't play anymore?

He's really not fit for a WC

 

[Jean Valjean]

Deustchland and US of A to advance to the next phase.

 

[Haunted]

Just what the World Cup needed, more CONCACAF teams.

Just to finish this expansion discussion: if we had a roster of 40 teams already, these would've been the 8 other nations (going by qualifiers):

Jordan
Uzbekistan
Panama
Venezuela
New Zealand
2 of Senegal/Ethiopia/Tunisia/Egypt/Burkina Faso
Sweden/Ukraine/Romania/Iceland

 

[Wenger'sBakedBaguettes]

Let's see if Ghana still has some of its magical powers from 4 years ago left.

 

[freshVeggie]

Oh boy, the us match is going go get crowded here. Posting when the thread flies feels redundant as most doesn't get responded.

So, I'll say one thing before the game starts and will probably keep quiet till after the game.

Usa did get more and more professional under klinsmann, but they are still mid-tier at best, sometimes slipping into low-tier levels. Hard to judge. Ghana on the other hand is more consistent but I can't deem them better than the us.

Individual blights will decide this I say.


Have fun boys but wow, us fans "patriotic" enthusiasm sometimes goes into satirical levels

 

[Kinyou]

USA has Klinsmann, they will win.

Actually their bound to almost win and then get second place (in the WC)

edit: just realized that maybe you were just talking about this game, lol

 

[RELAYER]

There's something incredibly disheartening about the word CONCACAF.

It's like....the opposite of rolling off the tongue.

Say it out loud.

Con-Ca-Caf.

It's like the vocal equivalent of being kicked in the nuts.

 

[jett]

He wasn't selected.

He's really not fit for a WC

welp

 

[Jasup]

So all games without goals are considered shit? I understand having a game with lots of goals is thrilling but people can't always score...

No, I can cope with 0-0 game if there's at least some effort put into it. But this was aimless, a goal could have helped a bit to get some excitement into the game as then the other team would have had to try to do something to even draw.

 

[BeforeU]

Common USA you got this. But to be honest, this game can go either way. Will be interesting.

 

[Konka]

Um, thats the problem?

Its not like ABC has a blockbuster summer lineup.

Theyre being assholes like usual.

Univision had no issue dropping their entire schedule for the month

Soccer isn't big enough to make it worth it at this point for ABC. I don't like it but they're not gonna lose money because of it.

 

[Thorakai]

time for AMERICA to show the world how to play SOCCER

 

[mercenar1e]

the US team should pre book the flights back home first class.

 

[segarr]

We can't sub in Lebron this year with the failed 3-peat. Would bring shame to the country.

If only a real athlete like him played for US. No 3peat be damned

 

[Nesotenso]

Agreed.

this dude, lol
