FIFA World Cup 2014

#1,729
So what are people's thoughts about the U.S.'s chances against Germany tomorrow? Coming into the tournament I might have categorized this match as not-even-worth-watching, out of concern that I wouldn't be able to stand the carnage. But I was surprised both by how impressive the U.S. looked against Portugal, and how potentially vulnerable Germany looked against Ghana. Am I living in a fantasy world if I think a draw is easily attainable, and a win not out of the question?

remember he predicted a year ago that ENG would suck at WC for the same reasons someone mentioned here a few pages ago--EPL having fewer and fewer UK-native players & managers & more & more foreign born personnel in epl (somehting like it) therefore an unfit team but i dont see the correlation that roster is spectacular on paper & tough group rooneys header went pah-dunk off the post last week would've been a different tune that's not to say other countries whose players belong to clubs abroad arent playing well eg argentina back to work

Easily attainable? Yeah won't go that far but they do have a chance to get a draw. This world cup's been full of surprises. But it'll be a hard earn draw if they get it. I still think Germany gets the win though.
