Thought their open play style could expose the French, and it did. Unlucky that France capitalized before them (and it took shit goalkeeping for it to happen).

  Lol Jesus dude you are so butthurt about my comment. Just let it die.

  EDIT: I agree with your premise. But, thats kinda the point of calling for an upset. Its an extreme longshot...just something you feel in your gut, usually.

  If I predicted germany to lose to Algeria, and Germany won 2-0, and you said "that was a stupid thing to predict" I would agree with you and move on.

  This Germany Algeria game, at least in the 2nd half since I turned it on, has been good.

  More of a day off work and just watching soccer.

  After watching it play out, I wouldnt say that at all. Though, I would think that beforehand, like you with France.

  Algeria is unlucky not to be up 1-0 after the first 15ish minutes in 1st half. They dominated.

  I would love an Algeria win here. I have France in the semis. Not that Algeria wouldn't be a harder test, but there might be more individual pressure facing a fellow Euro power.

  Germany waking up!

  lol, actually had no idea what the score was when I posted that, been out all day.
  
  I'd like to see Germany go down.

  Looking like ET

  Algeria pushing the attack for most of the game with Germany having some scoring chances in the final 10 minutes. They are headed to an extra 30 minutes tied at 0-0
• Laley23

  

  Good thing for Germany they have Neur. Not that other GKs wouldnt be out that far to stop semi breakaways, but he has stopped a few. That last one I thought was game over, and he came out of nowhere. Dude has to be standing on the 18 when these Algeria attacks start lol

  I like Germany, and have them losing to Brazil in the Semis, but the drama that would ensue if they lose is too much NOT to root for. Ballack will just rip them apart on World Cup Tonight.

  It would definitely place a stamp into one of the most cluster fuck tournaments ever. Imagine of Brazil would have lost in pks.

  What a fucking finish.
• Laley23

  

  Germany should pack it in, honestly. Algeria has way too much pace to not create a host of chances the last 25 minutes of this game if they dont.
• cat_lover

  That goal by Germany was wicked.
• DeyDurkie5

  

  I watched nigeria france. To me nigeria looked like a team that had great buildup and that's about it. France had more opportunities, Nigeria blew a few, but in the end they had no quality when it came to finishing. Sure they could have won, but it was nowhere near an upset alert to me. Just because a team has some quality doesn't mean they deserve the upset. Missed chance after missed chance doesn't mean shit to me. Especially when you lose 2 0.

  I can honestly say I've NEVER been this pumped for a fricking soccer match. I must've caught that fever going around... GO USA!!!

  Jacked up for the game today. We're due to play a strong game all around, hope it's today because we'll need it. If Bradley can control the midfield and Jozy can give us 60 minutes, we should be in very good shape.
  
  
  I BELIEVE.
• Laley23

  

  Today more than group stage is gonna come down to Bradley. I think he balls the fuck out. Go USA!!!
• Fab1b

  

  I cannot wait GO USA
• Terry_Tate

  

  After seeing the US in the group stage I feel pretty good about this one. Don't know about a win, but it should be a close one. Think US is definitely better than anybody Belgium has played so far which doesn't mean a whole lot but hopefully it is a small advantage for us. GO USA!

  And to my uneducated brain, it seems that Belgium got a lot of hype beforehand and through the group stage they more survived and advanced than impressed. Which at least makes me think they're vulnerable. Hopefully time will tell that's right!
• SportsAndLady

  

  Belgium is definitely vulnerable but let's not act like they're not a good team. Their attack is absolutely filthy. We'll need to win a 3-2 type game if were gonna beat them.
  
  USA!!!

  2-1 USA. I GOT A GOOD FEELING!1111111
