World Cup 2014

    It would definitely be a success, however if we end up winning and then losing to Switzerland (if they pull this off obviously) in the quarters I will be disappointed.

    I just want a well played game today, and hoping to pull out a W. If we get totally smacked, I'll be pissed.
    That's about what I'd think. With, as Like That noted, winning against Belgium but then losing to the Swiss would be a bit of a bummer.

    Ill call a Messi goal in the 114th minute.
  • Automatik
    I'd like to see Shaqiri end it late.

    I SO wish this game was 2nd. I feel lik eI am jinxing the USA by cheering for Switzerland, so I am cheering for Argentina lol
  • Automatik
    Messi made it happen.
  • Laley23
    Heartbreaking for SUI.

    Argentina seems almost destined, with the way they have scored late goals after nothing for much of the match(s)

    Holy shit
  • Automatik
    Fuckkkk, I wanted that!
  • Laley23
    What a terrible miss. Wide open from 3 yards away...
  • Automatik
    PUT THIS IN!!!!!!

    Lol what a flop. One last free kick
  • Laley23
    haha. Not even touched. That was well done.
  • Automatik
    Wormburner under the wall!!
  • Laley23
    ugh. Why go over the wall? Just blast it at the keep and play for the rebound.
  • Automatik
    Damn, that fucking header off the post. That would have been wild.
  • Laley23
    No Jozy. No Beckerman. Surprised, but done questioning Jurgen.

    Besler, Gonzalez and Cameron all starting.

    What happened with Beckerman? Injury or just deciding not to play him?

    I'm with you here, but did he happen to say what his thinking was regarding not starting Altidore?
  • Laley23
    My guess is just rest for Beckerman...or he doesnt feel the matchup is good? I dont know. We never got anythign definitive for Cameron, but he is back, so who knows.

    He IS on a YC, but no way is Jurgen factoring that into his decision. Gotta get to the next game first...

    Hmm hopefully it works out. Hell if any midfielder deserves to be sitting its Bradley lol, hopefully he pulls his head out of his ass this game

    I do feel bad because he is playing completely out of position for Jones and Beckerman to shine. But yeah, we need him to at least have good 1st touch. Thats something that shouldnt be disappearing because of position.
