Greece to C.

[Guest]

Groups C and E are awful, I hate everything

[USSoccer]

Just watch; we're going to get England and the dream will be complete.

[bukie]

England to D. Bosnia, Portugal, France, Russia remain.

[bukie]

I cant believe we're in the group of death

B has Spain-Chile-Holland and D has Uruguay-Italy-England.

[bukie]

France gets free pass to round 2.

[shnsajax]

[expletive]. We are getting Portugal.

[bukie]

Bosnia to F. Russia/Portugal left for the last.

omg, this draw could hardly have come worse. I guess the only good thing is that we hold a time zone advantage over the other teams haha

[bukie]

Yep, Portugal to G, and the nightmare is complete.

Sorry, I mean our own personal group of death due to Ghana

[Guest]

Unreal.

[USSoccer]

Wonderful. Wonderful.

[UMFan83]

Please someone figure out what our odds are of advancing out of our group

[wvcbxl]

H: Belgium, Algeria, Korea, Russia

 

 

I can live with that.

Thanks to the scheduling, better than they could have been, but still bad.

[Guest]

We play them in ascending order, Ghana, Portugal, Germany. Better have at least 4 points heading into game 3.

[Exile on Waveland]

Brutal.

SILVER LINING: G is paired with H in the knockout stage, so finishing 2nd isn't nearly as bad as it could be (no offense, wvcbxl).

Ghana are slow starters. We can win that opening game. We won't be playing them exhausted or short any players thanks to suspension. We can beat them. And we can draw or beat Portugal. The order is our friend.

Yeah, given the alternatives, I kinda like getting Portugal over a Russia or Bosnia.
