The 2014 FIFA World Cup
-
What did Ronaldo do to his face? Looks like an alien.
-
Portugal of course!
-
As the commentator on German TV put it: after pushing the car for way over 80 minutes, the engine suddenly jumped on. Belgium-Russia wasn't very fun to watch, and Belgium won with a lucky late goal.
As for Portugal-USA I am neutral. I find all this "pretty boy" talk rather offensive! May simply the better team win. -
think that a successful US mens soccer (football) team would be good for the sport globally.
THIS is so true. I honestly feel that this is the reason the sport hasn't grown here like it has elsewhere
The pretty boy part was just a joke dude. I would have made the same joke about Beckham a few years ago

Pfft, luckily Hazard woke from his slumber just in time … and merci Divock!

If Portugal play like they did against Germany I thin we could put a forum team together to have a good go at them.

^^ Unfortunately yes, I think they're in with a good shout of winning it. Portugal aren't as good as some people think and possibly rely too heavily on Ronaldo, who has had his (alliterative!) injury problems, whereas the US are a solid if unspectacular unit. Plus Portugal will be desperate to win this, having been tonked so heavily in the first game, which may just leave them a little exposed at the back, especially if they don't score early. In addition, this World Cup seems a great leveller - Ghana lose a close-fought encounter with USA and then (possibly unluckily) draw with Germany, who thrashed Portugal - you see what I mean? Anyway, I'm staying up late for this one…

If Portugal play like they did against Germany I think even England could have a good go at them.
Fixed for you
-
I wasn't going to go THAT far

What high drama at Manaus! Portugal saving a draw at the very, very last minute. Now at Germany v. USA on Thursday the current German national coach will meet his predecessor in charge of the opposing team, and for both a tie will be sufficient to advance, hmmm…..

If I had been told we'd have 4 points through two games before the tournament, I'd have been ecstatic. But now I'm inconsolable.

Agreed
