Now we have to win against the USA... This will be one hell of a match.

I know, right? If USA doesn't lose Gary will go mental.

Great match, Ghana played very well and showed that things are not that easy for Germany even though they overwhelmed against Portugal.
Hopefully, Ghana will qualify because they showed much more soccer than Portugal (aka Cristiano Ronaldo).

We'll have already qualified, so anything else would be a bonus and I wouldn't care lol

I mean, we'll either have dodged Belgium in the knockout round or not

 

[TheMoa]

Do you guys hate Ronaldo or something?

yes... I mean... I use to leve the guy since he started on Cruzeiro. But he's a sell out motherfucker
Just working on his "brand" and allying himself to whoever give him a better money prospect. Any player who alligns himself with the CBF Mafia doesn't deserve any kind of respect. It's almost like a Pele.

He was on the government side as the cup was being build with all this robbery and was against the protests, criticizing the critics and being an world cup ambassador... When the cup was about to start he started to criticize the government, blaming all things that went wrong on the government and started to support the opposition (the elections are this year).
he's can go fuck himself with his 3 trannies for all I care

boring first half, desolate performance in parts of the german team - not even in the defence, but in the midfield imo - and a really charming Ghana, especially inbetween their goals they've shown so much will

oh and Klose's 15th wc goal

 

[Sky]

Lahm was horrible. Schweinsteiger and Klose were the right choices. To bad we had to sacrifice a substitution for Mustafi, who was responsible for the 0:1.
The whole defense was really, really bad.

Of course Ghana was awesome. They knew exactly how to block us. Let's hope Klinsmann has mercy or our team wakes up again. With a defense like that you won't reach the final.

You're that confident in us?

 

[Leoat12]

By what I remember, Ghana played better than USA, but ended up losing, that's ufortunate because they're who deserve the second spot.
To do this... USA, please, lose. XD

Lose is harder than win against Portugal though.

If we play like this again, Dempsey and Altidore will have a lot of fun.

Assuming Altidore plays again and our back 4 isn't worse than yours, sure

I'm almost happy that Donovan is not in the squad.

Well we will see. I do hope that we will be at 100% again though... We have to win this match.

They didn't play better than us. We got an early goal that rattled them, then frustrated them. They looked threatening but it wasn't anything like their second game. You could say a lot of them game was rather even.

Yeah...most fans had that in mind when Altidore went down. I guess he didn't think he was worth of a bench spot lol

You don't HAVE to

I don't know the reason why he is not in the squad though... He is like Klose for us.

We do. We want to win this group.

 

[Leoat12]

You don't HAVE to

They have. To guarentee the qualification at once, but I draw would qualify them I think (?)
There is the honor as well.

They have to, yeah. If Portugal wins their next 2 matches and the US beats Germany, the latter will be out of the Cup. A draw is enough but I doubt they want (even more considering how important a 1st place in the group phase is).

He went on "sabbatical" from competition and didn't really make his intentions clear. He naturally was invited to camp, but I feel like his lack of dedication during that time period didn't sit well with Klinsmann at all, since he missed the first three qualification games due to it. A captain can't behave like that. It'd be a lot different if we were lacking in young talent, but time will tell if it was the right decision or not.

I'd prefer he was on the team honestly, but I can understand the decision and why it was made.

Okay that makes a lot of sense.
I expect a good match because Klinsmann knows Löw very well. Dempsey and Bradley can make a difference.

Well, I'm hoping for one too...but more than anything I'm hoping that it won't mean anything for us besides knockout round seeding

Then please win against Portugal...
We take the first place in the table.

While I agree with what you're saying from one standpoint, wouldn't it have been better to have him on the bench instead of, wait for it, Julian Green? Klinsmann is clearly building for the future, and I can respect that, but leaving him off to make a point and show that you're the man in charge, which is what it's really about, is the wrong decision.

Donovan wasn't the captain anymore anyway, Dempsey was, so that wasn't going to come into play.
