by Belgium. Yeah, i have a friend who is a soccer nut, him and his wife, they watch premier league and all that bulls*t 24/7 and he pretty much said the exact samething about belgium and next world cup champion. He put money on 2 teams to win it this time, Belgium and Colombia. Not because he thinks they would win, but the payouts/odds were really good. He thinks winner most likely be Germany this time.

Actually just texted him and he said any win now by the US is a colossal upset on the world stage. It would offically "plant the flag" for the US program. He also thinks US really isnt that good outside several players....the best being the goalie.

He's correct. Our players outside of Tim Howard (world class goalie btw) are marginal compared to the rest of the world. Our supposedly best player (Bradley) has done absolutely nothing this World Cup, and a key injury to Jozy hasn't helped much. This team has been getting it done on heart/effort alone and it's fun to watch.

Not a pretty game between Argentina/Swiss. Switzerland's goalie is playing like a beast saving opportunity after opportunity. Swiss on the other hand look inept on offense like we do.

id be pissed if i sat and watched a game for an hour and half and no one scored

There are shots on goal, many of them. Just very good defense being played by the Swiss. Now going into extra time.

i spoke to someone who said usa is possesing, but not aggressive enough with the ball ala germany game.

NC_Skins · 07-01-2014, 02:29 PM

Messi to di Maria with 2 mins left to go before penalty kicks. Wow. Argentina wins this.

NC_Skins · 07-01-2014, 02:37 PM

I nearly spoke too soon about Argentina winning. Holy shit. The last 3 minutes of this game was amazing. I still can't get over how many opportunities the Swiss have blown this game. Shot themselves in the foot and really don't deserve to advance with that shitty display on offense. The Swiss had shot about 8 feet in front of goal and still hit the side post. DAFUQ???

NC_Skins · 07-01-2014, 05:35 PM

Tim Howard carrying us again.

NC_Skins · 07-01-2014, 05:57 PM

Wondo missed the opportunity of a lifetime. Blew it. Game winner at that. Onto extra time.
