packoman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Good win for America, don't think they'll have enough to get anything against Portugal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ghana players were very frustrating to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hell of a shift by the US. Can't see them troubling Germany but they could do something against Portugal, although I don't think they have the players to stop Ronaldo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 What an absolutely fantastic World Cup this is turning out to be. I think USA may go through, hard work and determination at its finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandaq Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Good game from USA, but Ghana was really disappointing. Frustrating might be more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If the US draw Portugal, and Germany beats Ghana, a draw would be enough to see the US through in second and Germany in first... No reason for either team to go for it in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieZ Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) This feels like a Pyrrhic victory after losing Jozy and potentially Besler and Bedoya. I hope the latter two will be fit for the Portugal match. Edited June 17, 2014 by JamieZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Klinsmann has gone all American sounding, man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 That was beautiful. A goal scored a by a German in a team coached by a German called by an English announcer. HELL YEAH 'MURICA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Just back from the bar...over the moon with the result, but not too impressed with our overall performance. Bradley was shocking, it was truly embarrassing to watch him sleepwalk through that match. I couldn't keep count of how many times American players overran balls, gave the ball away, jumped too early, etc. If Ghana didn't suck so bad too, we'd have been crushed. Not looking forward to the Germany game. A draw against Portugal should see us through, hopefully. But Klinsmann needs to have a word with Bradley, Beckerman, and DeMarcus "Old Man River" Beasley who all looked slow and sloppy. Great goal from Dempsey though, and a well taken winner, helped by poor defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) I don't think Ronaldo is quite done yet tbh, still think he'll have a say in this group.. Jones was immense yesterday. Edited June 17, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Good win for America, don't think they'll have enough to get anything against Portugal though. without Coentrao, Pepe and an unfit Ronaldo they could get a draw they need. Keeper didn't look special either even though he had a great Euro 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 What a class act Clint Dempsey is. I know he hardly figured coming back to Fulham but he could still play in the prem no problem imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeper didn't look special either even though he had a great Euro 2012 Ya, it's probably there best chance but I just can't see them holding on against Portugal like they did yesterday. Even an unfit Ronaldo is on a completely different level to Gyan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 on anoter note Thomas Muller has 8 world cup goals at 24. He has probably 2 maybe 3 more tournaments after this and could probably get to 20 if keeps up this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think so but I think with Pepe reputation it was a bit ironic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has probably 2 maybe 3 more tournaments after this and could probably get to 20 if keeps up this rate Speaking of Muller - was his reaction over-the-top against Pepe? Definitely, but the referee didn't blow his whistle so who knows, maybe he would have punished him if Pepe didn't try to officiate things himself. IMO it was Muller trying to wind Pepe up, rather than Muller trying to win a free kick, and it worked perfectly for him. Is it right? No, absolutely not, but Pepe has a track record for reacting as do governing bodies for not sorting out diving a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
