russian rocket... is russia a cool place? would you recommend russia as a vacation destination?

just curious... never been there

of course it's cool...a country with such a rich history...people are nice, welcoming and very down to earth...a lot more expensive than US though

[TwoWays]

USA will dominate. USA fo-ever bitches!

[Optional]

oh ok thanks for posting that link. i am on my phone and its not working for me

can anyone tell me what city the Germany vs USA game is?

Recife on 26th Arena Pernambuco

[k13]

Portugal is nothing special, never do anything in world cups.

Ronoaldo......lol This is the world cup not some mickey mouse club soccer. He won't do shit.

[k13]

Some of the groups are a joke.

Argentina...easy
France...easy

The Greece group is a complete joke together.

[chilidog]

The same % of others who give a flying fukk about americans.

Perhaps you should travel outside the borders of the States...

[stevenash]

Germany and portugal will go thru. Anyone who thinks otherwise knows nothing about soccer.

Yeah, I know next to nothing about that sport, and even I know this.

[whareouttogetme]

How many goals did these players net during qualifiers

Ronaldo carry this team on his back

but Ronaldo is good enough to carry a team on his back. He did it with Portugal in 2012. They were unlucky to go out on penalties, but could easily have gone into the finals

[5mike5]

It's not like the USA had a shot in hell of gettin anywhere in the tourney no matter what

[thetrinity]

surprised how high some of these over unders are. usa are dogs against ghana right off the bat

Ghana, eliminated the U.S. at the round of 16 stage four years ago. The Ghanaians also ended the Americans' 2006 World Cup with a victory in the teams' final group game.

US might finish dead last in this group...I do wish them luck though

this ghana team is supposedly "worse" and the usa is "better"

1 man can't carry a team on his back. Messi never did it alone and Ronaldo didn't w/ Man Utd. A bit of a wild comparison, just like people expecting Peyton Manning to carry his team on his back.

Mayan's dream World Cup final: Mexico vs USA

my dream World Cup would be El Salvador vs Russia and El Salvador winning by 10 goals motherfukker!!!

[BigDeem5]

Ronaldo is overrated.

so many fking jealous....it isn't enough for major pricks like blatter, all the freaking Germans in general, Paltini and all the freaking French (but these guys may have an argument >900K Portuguese in Paris alone) to hate CR7 and the Portuguese national soccer team!! How such a small country can generate so much talk...amazing!


2006 - Portugal 4th (unlucky with the French in semi's)
2010 - What a fking moron of a coach we had and still we played better than Spain 1-0 loss (who turned out to be the WC champions)

Why didn't you mention 2002?!? I'll remind you if you forgot that's when a far weaker US side won 3-2 and went on over Portugal after a choke job against Korea. Nobody really knows how these games are going to go.

Love you EP had to take a stab!

[davidchong]

from Concacaf looks Mexico is the one with more chance to advance

[lakerboy]

Let's see I live in canada. I work in usa and canada. I have lived in england/germany. Been to denmark/france/holland/italy/greece/india/scotland/wales/spain/mexico/dominican republic/costa rica/brazil/cuba/ south africa/dubai and australia. I think I can say I have seen a few nations.

eheheh no prob KC

but I didn't mention that WC bcs that team is "dead". Zero players from that team if I'm not mistaken.

2006/2010 and in 2014 at least 60% are the same guys!

[ChalkyDog]

Tough group, but we have a punchers chance.

My fear is we end up dead last which causes a death spiral to the popularity of the sport in this country. I have loved watching this beautiful game grow over the last decade to the point the Seattle sounders venue rivals many great European arenas as far as atmosphere.

And this is the same reason why soccer will always be a distant 4th in my country behind aussies rules, league and union...

Soccer may be the 'world game' but it will always minnow in countries where its not the primary sport played...

[SharkAA]

I doubt it. Croatia will beat the tacos out of them.

[indio]

Lol some of you guys think we are a world power

We are non existent in the game of soccer vs other countries

Must be why we beat defending world champs and defending 2 time Euro champs in the semi's, and had a 2-0 lead in the final of the second biggest intercontinental national team tournament there is in 2009.

Gold Cups galore and some other international honors as well.

You should stop embarrassing yourself.

if anything people should enjoy getting to see the usa play against the best player and maybe best team in the world, also the team who owns them in the group.
