as a future resident of Uruguay, I have to like this [expletive] guy. he's like the Red Viper, the flag is even a sun. he should put a spear through it.

thanks!

 

it is fun that several of the coin toss situations seem reasonable. germany 3 usa 0 and portugal 2 ghana 0 is pretty much what i am expecting tomorrow.

Just turned on this match. Is there an Ecuador player wearing a condom on his head?

I never ever work Thursday mornings, so of course I work tomorrow (probably because half of my coworkers took the day off)

Wait. How does it go from USA advancing, to a coin toss if Ghana loses by more?

Portugal could get to 4 points with a win just like Ghana could, and so the goal differential tiebreaker has to be figured out with a Portugal win as well. It's just that most are focused on Ghana right now because Ghana's goal differential is only two behind the US while Portugal's is five behind.

Should bring both teams together and have a shootout. Do they still have shootouts even in the championship game?

Interesting that they left off the possibility that the US beats Germany which obviously puts them through but felt the need to include what happens if they draw even though that always gets them through too.

I have an all-day [expletive] continuing ed seminar tomorrow. Where they advertised there will be wifi. So nobody will be paying attention. Perfect.

Ahh, gotcha. Thx.

Is it true the US game could get postponed because the pitch is swamped?

The field is fine, albeit a bit wet, and FIFA already said the game won't be PPD.

 

The US regularly plays on worse fields in CA and the Caribbean during qualifying. There was a qualifier in Havana back in 2008 that was played in a monsoon at night on a field with only half the lights working.

pictures seem to show they didn't have any tarp on the field. That would have to be some bad ass drainage system if the field isn't a disaster.

Like literally every one else in the United States I think Soccer is a stupid sport,(trademark Ann Coulter), but if its one thing the US is good at its reluctantly entering internatonal battles and suprising Germany with our counter attack.
