[methodman]

Cannot freaking wait for game time. Super pumped

 

[Nesotenso]

just a question, does each team announce an 18 before the game or is the entire bench available as substitutes for the WC?

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Everyone is available.

The USA-Portugal highlights from 2002 are appropriate as well.

 

[Cornballer]

A couple collages making the rounds on Twitter:

I was at that one.

Regarding the Portugal-Brazil thing:

Portugal hoping to leverage long ties to Brazil to its advantage w/ crowd tonight against US, writes @DavidWaldstein http://t.co/2fGGNPnVtf

 

[Osorio]

This wait is torturous.

Having Group Zzzz games before us isn't helping.

If anyone is going to Zeppelin Hall in Jersey City lemme know.

 

[xbhaskarx]

As a former Boston resident I'm glad this dbag isn't caught up in World Cup hype, because he's never been right about anything in his life

I have a strange premonition that Jermaine Jones is going to take Ronaldo out one way or the other. Either with a tackle or getting in his head and instigating him getting a card.

I've been looking at this picture and cracking up. #murica

I have a strange premonition that Jermaine Jones is going to take Ronaldo out one way or the other. Either with a tackle or getting in his head and instigating him getting a card.

I can't remember if it was an ESPN interview or not, but Jermaine was asked if he will kick Ronaldo in this game... He replied that he wouldn't... Unless he heard Ronaldo disrespecting our team... So here's hoping Ronaldo disrespects us, so Jermaine will add a little extra oomph to tackles on Ronaldo to get him uncomfortable

 

[Cornballer]

Jurgen Klinsmann will reveal lineup to his team at 340 ET meeting, just before departing for Arena da Amazonia.

.

 

[Nesotenso]

I was under the impression that players knew the lineups a day before.

 

[Cornballer]

I was under the impression that players knew the lineups a day before.

That's what I thought, too.

 

[woodchuck]

I'd rather see what they just showed on espn. Dempsey up top. Bedoya and zusi on wings.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I was under the impression that players knew the lineups a day before.

I thought so too, but they didn't when Bocanegra was replaced in the starting lineup right before the opening game of the hex vs Honduras... that didn't go so well.

 

[Gamecocks625]

I was under the impression that players knew the lineups a day before.

Is it one of those coaching moves where you want everyone to prepare as if you're starting? I don't know. Only guess.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Hoping for Wondo and Duece up top and Zusi instead of Bedoya in the midfield. We are going to need something from set pieces today.

 

[NoRéN]

Girlfriend had to go to work so looks like I'll be yelling at the tv by myself.

Getting nervous.

6 points!

 

[ZZMitch]

Shit guys I am at a day party with friends and already prerty drunk. We are heading out to a bar soon to watch the game... So nervous

[The Culture Vulture]

Holding off on my first pint until the March to Brazil episode begins. Hopefully I'm not pounding them at halftime.

 

[Nesotenso]

when does the inside episode start? ABC or ESPN?

 

[The Culture Vulture]

when does the inside episode start? ABC or ESPN?

ESPN in two minutes.

 

[Nesotenso]

ESPN in two minutes.

Thanks

 

[xbhaskarx]

when does the inside episode start? ABC or ESPN?

ESPN, in one minute. Everything is moving over to ESPN now.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

2010 :'(

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Who is taking penalty kicks for us? I hope it's not Dempsey.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Hoping we get some new footage here. Lots of rehashing qualification, draw and history with Ghana.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

2010 :'(

Never forget the fuckery that occurred at the end of that match.

Ghana's diving and faking injuries was one of the most shameful displays of time wasting I've seen.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Hoping we get some new footage here. Lots of rehashing qualification, draw and history with Ghana.

Yeah, seriously, "new episode"... So far we have been deceived.

 

[Cornballer]

ESPN, in one minute. Everything is moving over to ESPN now.

It looks like they're going to run it starting in 45 min on ABC, too. That is, unless they're showing an older episode.

 

[Oozer3993]

It appears to just be cobbled together from all the other episodes. I think it was actually on this morning too. Maybe there will be some new stuff at the end.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

How American of Rog to repackage things we've already seen and advertise it as new.

 

[Cornballer]

 

[Akim]

Did the lineups ever come out?

 

[Cornballer]

Did the lineups ever come out?

Not yet. Should be up in ~20 min.

 

[Cornballer]

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Not bad. Don't like Dempsey by himself but we can put in Aron or Wondo for a midfielder if we're looking for a goal late.

 

[Judderman]

As soon as the FIFA intro started at the top of the hour, my nerves entered DEFCON 2.

 

[Cornballer]

Portugal: Beto; Pereira, Costa, Bruno Alves, A. Almeida; Veloso, João Moutinho, Meireles; Nani, Hélder Postiga, Cristiano Ronaldo.

 

[The Culture Vulture]

Probably won't be posting here til halftime. Might shoot off a quick tweet or two.

God's speed ladies and gents.

Waiting in line to get into a bar that's at capacity....

 

[woodchuck]

Let's crowd the fuck out of the midfield
