Toronto FC tomorrow. Tune in bitches.

I thought we were trying to keep new fans interested in the sport around here? Better to commit them to watching only World Cup matches now and then allowing them a few weeks for their memories of world-class quality soccer to fade before directing them to MLS.

Don't get me wrong, as an American I support MLS, but the change in quality may be a bit jarring. Not only that, but trying to get them to support a team from Canada? Good luck with that. At least pick a team with some history behind them like DC United.
 
If Belgium plays like they did today and the US plays like they did against Portugal I say they have a good chance
The teams that play shit but constantly win and rarely concede are the ones you have to look out for in tournaments.

Sometimes a team is just riding a wave of luck and no matter how outplayed they are they somehow win. Ala Chelsea Champions League.

Should be interesting anyway.

It looks like shit because they are locking down the game. But it's hard to win against that and it's strategically sound. I'd say the game is still 50/50 . Belgium has the better team on paper, but USA have a pumped up spirit.

The US of A will beat Costa Rica.

The USA and Germany will brawl to the death for 90 minutes, until battered and bruised, the majestic bald eagle climbs atop a crippled Miroslav Klose's head, rips his adam's apple out, and kaws out the call of freedom as the US reigns triumphant.

No they won't.
They'll try.

but they'll fail.

The Dutch will beat Costa Rica into a pulp, broken, bruised, forgotten, sore. Then the proud Dutch Lion will feast on the American Eagle, leaving nothing but whithering hope for a better luck next time in it's wake.

and then in the finals we'll lose, as tradition prescribes

ESPN's Soccer Power Index gives them a 43% chance I'd say 60/40 seems about right. 50/50 is doing Belgium a bit of a disservice. They still won out in their group and have tons of talent.
 
I'm cautious cause I think the Mexicans will cause us trouble, but if the Dutch would reach the finals, I sincerely hope we eliminate the Belgians in the semis and then the Germans in the final.

That would be my dream scenario, if this happens I'll run naked through the streets.

Predictions for today

USA-Netherlands 6-2 (Robben am cry)
Uruguay-Germany 2-0 (both goals by Suarez)
Costa Rica-Belgium 14-0 (Belgium totally overrated, also gogo America continent!)

Game for the last place in group
Italy-England 0-0 (probably a couple reds, some heroin up in the ass and 5 penalties for England, Rooney will try to get a bite out of Pirlo)

So, what's everyone's favorite matches and goals so far?

Favorite matches.

Spain - Holland.
Personal though, we had no idea how it would go, and with Euro 2012 in the back of my head i was scared as fuck. The relief and joy was so amazing. Also a couple of amazing goals in that match.

Germany - Ghana

Just great play by both teams.

Brasil - Mexcio

Great tense game.

Favorite goals

1. RVP Header
2. Cahill's volley
3. Robben's 5-1 against Spain. Dat speed.

I'll run with you mate. That would be glorious.

Normally I wouldn't care too much about Belgium but since there so confident all of a sudden it will be fun to beat them. But first we have to eat Tacos!
