Gosh, that was a very tense match... US deserved to win IMO, Portugal was so lucky to score that last goal (but it wasn't a bad goal).
I beg to differ. The last matches in group G will be very boring. I suspect that the Germany v USA game will make the 1982 Germany v Austria game look thrilling. Germany and US both advance with a tie. Why take chances of an attack that begets a counterattack?DennisN said:The last matches in this group will be thrilling.

Greg Bernhardt said:Looks like today the only interesting and meaningful game will be Mexico vs Croatia.
cristo said:What about Holland v Chile playing to avoid Brasil in the next round?
Greg Bernhardt said:True! But but it's uncertain which slot Brazil will end up in. I doubt either of those hot teams are too scared of Brazil and would rather rest players.
Brazil is playing Cameroon. A loss or a tie is extremely unlikely. Even a marginal 1-0 win by Brazil pretty much gives Brazil a lock on 1st in group A because that would mean Mexico would have to win by at least three points against Croatia.Greg Bernhardt said:True!

Rest players? Against Brazil? You can't be serious. The winners of groups D and G might rest players in the first stage of the knockout games. I can't see any other team doing that.I doubt either of those hot teams are too scared of Brazil and would rather rest players.

Orange is our home color, there's nothing more beautiful than that!D H said:Netherlands is also playing with a different colored jersey. They played in blue before. Orange? Who chose that?
Yes I bite :)D H said:I know. Just giving you a hard time.
They were playing out, so were dressed up in Royal BlueWhy did they play in blue before this?
Certainly this has been a surprising start of the World Cup, but you can't take away that we've won the Poule of DeathD H said:The pool of overrated death, you mean. It turns out group B had two easy teams. Spain showed that there's something very wrong with the FIFA rankings.
I think you meant pool of death. Poule of death has a rather different meaning than you intended. Poule is a word in English. It comes from the French word meaning chicken, but it's meaning in English is a bit derogatory. It's a bit funny that you typed poule of death with red lipstick.Monique said:Certainly this has been a surprising start of the World Cup, but you can't take away that we've won the Poule of Death
