Ashen Pathfinder 16,163 June 26, 2014 Share June 26, 2014 30 minutes in, US is actually holding their own. Hopefully we can keep this up, even though I probably just jinxed it. Portugal and Ghana are drawing 0-0, which is good for us. EDIT: Portugal just scored, which is probably even better for us. So far, so good! And surprisingly so! I won't jinx it though, anything can happen. And as long as Portugal doesn't score too many, we should be fine...hopefully... 1 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpop198 696 June 26, 2014 Share June 26, 2014 Wow, Neuer must of had a pretty boring time. Waiting in net for 90 minutes. It was no surprise to any of us that Germany was going to win this one, I am very happy with the result of this game. On that note, Lets go Germany(or Netherlands.)

Ashen Pathfinder 16,163 June 26, 2014 Share June 26, 2014 Well, what can I say? In the group of death where everyone pretty much expected the USA to crash out of hard, we pull off a suprise (and somewhat unfair) victory against Ghana, put Portugal to the sword, and were able to hold off Germany and even threaten them on occasion! All of this without Donovan and Altidore (mostly). Regardless of what happens in the KO rounds, I am damn well satisfied! Klinsmann has surely turned US soccer around!

Ashen Pathfinder 16,163 June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 I have to say that my whole perception of international soccer has completely changed thanks to this years World Cup; and that is not necessarily because of the performance of the USMNT (though it helps). Honestly, I had always preferred club soccer (Bundesliga, MLS, Premier League, etc.) and usually had a somewhat negative view of the international game. I guess I was underwhelmed with the 2010 edition. I have to say that this years tournament has BLOWN AWAY any expectation that I had. I still prefer the club game, but international level is great in my eyes as well. Good luck to my two favorites: US & Germany (so relieved to see both advance, lol).

Frostgage 7,978 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 This has been an incredible match, it's fittingly going to penalties now.

Java Jive 440 June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 Crazy match, could've gone either way after Chile scored that 1-1, afterwards there were periods where they really put the pressure on the Selecao which was obvious in the ball possession percentage. And had that ball in the final minutes just been a bit lower instead of hitting the top bar... Well... Let's just say portions of the stadium might not have survived, and i doubt Rio or the majority of Brazil would've been a good place to be for the night. I mean these guys still regard the loss of 1950 to Uruguay as a national tragedy (Maracanazo). 1 Let's go downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,163 June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 UGH, I wanted Chile to win that one so bad. Ah well, hoping for a win from Mexico & Costa Rica tomorrow. CONCACAF REPRESENT!!! Though I won't mind the Netherlands & Robben winning tomorrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLvrgR2WR5o Imagine if this was a movie. Also, the Brazil-Chile match was so epic... so much!

Guest June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 Yay for a Dutch win! 1st half was painful to watch though. Feel sorry for Ochoa though, he's been really entertaining in the tournament. The Netherlands' goalie could prove their undoing IMO, he looked shaky all game. I'd like to see Krul get a chance maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight The Creator 298 June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 Even though I'm going for the Dutch, it was sorta undeserved. But whatever, on to the next one. Kill People, Burn Shit, Fuck School. -Tyler the Creator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,163 June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 My heart hurts after that one; especially after that monster embellishment from Robben. He's usually a player I cheer for hard, but right now I just feel disgust. So much for CONCACAF. I do hope Costa Rica can make something of today... 1 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's usually a player I cheer for hard, but right now I just feel disgust. So much for CONCACAF. I do hope Costa Rica can make something of today... Pretty much said it when it comes to Robben, i wouldn't want to win like that. Sure, the equaliser was fine, although i have to say that the (lack of) quality the Dutch have shown on the field was downright depressing, up to the point when Mexico scored, at which they actually started to try and put pressure on them. Playing the waiting/reaction game is what's going to get Holland beaten, as it always has. If they do win this tournament it would be downright miraculous with that kind of attitude. Well, on a final note, unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to Super Miguel... 2 Let's go downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerpop198 696 June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 (edited) To be completely honest, it doesn't matter how they win as long as they win. Your in the box, don't stick your leg out. The Dutch are though, and in the end, all that matters is that you make it through. EDIT- saw a replay, it was completely the Mexican defenders fault. There should have been another penalty in this game also, when Robben got tripped in the first half. Edited June 29, 2014 by pony12343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting tidbit of info, in their history, both these teams have never played against eachother. Including international friendlies.
