    Rinse and repeat the traditional line about American soccer. "All heart, no talent." We have a great team. We have a better team than most countries in this tournament, including England. Maybe the players aren't as individually gifted (which is also debatable, because most, if not all, of these U.S. players could just as easily do the job in England, France, Italy, or Germany), but since when has that ever won a tournament alone? Also, when was the last time the U.S. was "brutally raped" by anyone? According to the 'experts' on this forum, the U.S. was supposed to get shitkicked by England in 2010 and against Ghana and Portugal this year. Hasn't happened, and it's not gonna happen against Germany either. Ugh. Such nonsense. At no point did I say anything about them having no talent. I just don't believe that the US team is particularly good. And it's nothing to do with individuals vs the whole team. I'm saying, your team, as a whole, is mediocre. It is so very far from "great". I don't necessarily think that Germany will destroy you, as they have no reason to approach the game like that. However, if you were playing them in the last-16, I'd be thinking otherwise. Right now, be happy with the growth you've shown, but don't start thinking the US team is anything special, because it just isn't. And the reason you haven't been put to the sword by a good team, is that you haven't played one, as you get knocked out by the mediocre ones, like Ghana. As far as the individuals go? Well they're mostly good enough for the fringe of Premier League teams. Nowt to write home about, but ultimately irrelevant in the context of a World Cup.

    He's old man. Can't control your face when you're that old. No-one can.

    I'll post the video of English fans losing hope as retaliation. Oh wait, what's that? You never led for a fucking second in the entire competition? Invented the sport. Honestly Michael. The last thing you need to be doing is attempting to be boastful. You have a poor team with a lot of heart. At some point along the line, you're going to get brutally raped, and at that point you will be mocked heavily. You're already outnumbered greatly on here, you should be looking to build bridges, rather than burn them, else it's only going to get worse.
  4. Simon Doonan definitely wants caving in like
  5. 1962 in Chile surely. '58 was Sweden. http://i.imgur.com/5h7kh.gif http://i.imgur.com/g1K01lU.jpg
  6. Bale Suarez Ronaldo Benzema Falcao
  7. Obviously been bought by corrupt FIFA officials and or the Brazilian government. He's just shit, m8
  8. keeper ffs just lobs himself an indiscriminate direction for the giggles
  9. I'm staggered he's a starter. http://i.imgur.com/MoaaZlg.jpg
  10. Foster's a good keeper. There's just no point in playing him other than sentiment. Play Forster and see what he can do, or play Hart and try and get him to stop shitting his pants whilst wearing an England shirt.
  11. It's shit timing for me. 4pm. Takes me too long to get home to be able to sack off work beforehand. But staying at work till 5:50 and watching it here? Fuck that. Bad shit, FIFA.
  12. save your money and retire to the Seychelles man you mentalist
  13. Surprised they've played him at all this game, never mind all 90 minutes. He's such an important player and he's got legs that are gagging to fall apart. Dangerous game by King Louis.
  14. Suspended, bro. But I'm with you on the sentiment.
  15. They'll take an injury and card free 0-0 imo. Not in the mentality to care about who you're facing next I don't think. #IBelieveThatWeWillWin and all that.
