    What are the odds on a 0-0 tie between US and Germany?

    Thank you

    Not saying emotion shouldn't be different based on how the game played out today, but looking at the big picture, we are still in a damn good spot.

    I hate the game times this week. Why play at 1 and 4 in Brazil instead of 4 and 7?

    Why are you sick to your stomach? I thought you wanted Klinnsman to fail miserably after he left Donovan off the roster.

    Also, I am still pissed at Bradley. Fucking idiot.
  • Automatik
    His post game comments were lame. He could have at least man'd up and admitted he fucked up, but no.

    Even though these guys are pros and you'd think there should be no carry over psychologically, they're also human, so there will be. The emotional letdown of being so close to a victory and then having a defensive breakdown like that will have an affect--how much of one we won't know until Thursday.

    this. first he can't bury an opportunity to tie the game then he makes a bone headed play that leads to Portugal tying it.
  • Laley23
    I still think we qualify in the most American way possible. Portugal wins and we beat them on GD lol

    Also - what was with Nani sucking his thumb after he scored?
  • Automatik
    Not sure what it means, he's been doing it for a while. Robinho does it too.

    Nani is a little bitch. Fuck him. He doesn't score for United anymore so who knows what it means.
  • Automatik
    You can stop whining about United anytime now. This is a WC thread. Thanks.

    No one watches soccer in America outside of the world cup, so this comment is pointless.

    Who was whining about United. I said he doesn't score for United so who knows what i means.
  • Automatik
    You got butthurt when Fellaini scored too. You're a United fan. We get it.

    Id assume its the same reason others have done it in the past, to honor their newborn children.

    Well, he hasnt scored for a year... lol
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    So, USA and Germany have a gentlemen's agreement to not score on each other?
  • Laley23
    Just checked. Nani went on leave from ManU in the middle of Decemeber, 2013...So the kid is around 7 months old.
