Is anyone at this forum not rooting for USA to win the World Cup?

[betplom]

I was rooting for the US after 90 mins and my Belgium -0.5 was a loser.

I figured I'd double up against them next game.

Ok. Everyonesis saying the US played well, they should be happy with the result... aside from the obvious that the result is the same as last cycle did the USA really improve? They looked pretty crappy to me. On their heels constantly... soccer experts opine pls, I need to regurgitate your analysis to my co-workers.

They made it out of the Group Of Death
They did it, essentially, without Jozy Altidor.


*Group Of Death = the hardest Group.

I don't know how they compare to the other top teams but Belgium looked fokking strong yesterday. US almost tied the game twice at the end.

 

[Boner_18]

So you believe the best play was from that group? Germany, Portugal and Ghana were the best three other teams (in total)?

Group of Death is a relative term. Some say the Group of Death was Costa Rica, Argentina, Italy and Uruguay based on past World Cup champions.

Argentina was not in that group, Saltyballs.

Italy`s group was most certainly not the Group Of Death. Italians were old and slow, England always sucks and no one ecpected anything from Costa Rica.

COMMON

 

[reno cool]

yeah, their results in retrospect were pretty average. (predicted by me exactly actually )
However, at times they looked scary against good teams.

Even though Portugal is very capable of sucking they are a legit top team. After falling behind against them the US is not supposed be able to come back and have a lead with 1 minute to go. Also threatened Germany late etc.

In the end I'm a little more respectful of their play. Are they gonna be on even footing with top European or SA contenders anytime soon? no

Correct. England.

This is from Wiki:

In the 2014 World Cup, three groups were acknowledged in the media as "group of death": Group B (Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia),[71] Group D (Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy),[72] and Group G (Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States).[73][74]

That's what you get for betting against the stars and stripes, son.

The Stars and Stripes were good to me this tournament.

No complaints, other than them not losing in regulation time to the Belgiums.

Shouldn't there only be one group of death.?

There's so much nonsense to this sport.

 

[reno cool]

and 1 group of death isn't nonsense? Unless there are executions after the game the whole concept is stupid.

And did anybody notice how the clock goes forward instead of counting down to 0:00?

Had a lady asked me this question while watching the game at my house yesterday.

 

[Matty]

I know right. I noticed it too.

 

[betplom]

Did they also notice the games were uninterrupted and commercial free during play?
