Just made it back home for the games, damn traffic, getting some popcorn and drinks and having both matches on, all alone!

So interesting to hear some of the Pundits on a US station talking about the US winning the world cup. I guess if you in it you should play to win it, but they should probably concentrate on the winning the next match against the Dutch which is a big ask.
I'd be interested to hear who is saying this and in what way they are saying it. Anyone with any soccer knowledge knows that it would take a radical miracle.
No chance the US will win, I am not even thinking about it.
Whoever will think that the US will go through the next round is either delusional or hammered.
You say "delusional," I say "hopeful."
(Always hopeful, but always understanding of reality.)Where are you from, @rain111?
Yes, maybe you are correct in saying that... Hopeful.You say "delusional," I say "hopeful."
Where are you from, @rain111?
England.
Thank you mate, same goes for the US, they have played strong this WC, but I don't think we (England) will win either, maybe to the semi-finals.
You'd be surprised to know that I'd like to see Japan or SKorea win the WC this year.

Don't get me wrong, I hope we can win (cross fingers), but at the same time, I can't bet on it, we have had several close calls many times before.
But at the same time, we have seen many surprises this WC from the under-dogs teams, the likes of Japan/SKorea/Morocco/Senegal, I mean, it's hard to dismiss them, wouldn't you say?
I don't think they can win the World Cup either, but they certainly can win against the Netherlands.
England won’t win I’m afraid. I expect we get through tomorrow but then get beat by France. Hope I’m wrong though.
Usually in the World Cup you get one or two surprise teams in the Quarterfinals, and maybe one in the Semifinals. We will see this year, I still think Brazil, France, Spain look very good when they are playing for real marbles.
The way the groups are organised it will be a Europe against South American final. England, Spain, France and Portugal are all in one grouping which means only one of them can be in the final. The other group has Brazil and Argentina as the favourites to come out into the final although Croatia could upset that plan.
In order to avoid a permanent ban, I’ll refrain from commenting on the U.S. performance vs Netherlands.
Yes, I refrained from commenting as well for the same reasons...
What a shame for the US team... I mean... good luck next time?
same defensive mistake three times. And awful forwards. There’s lots of work to be done. I didn’t expect to win, but I didn’t expect something so brutal to watch.Yes, I refrained from commenting as well for the same reasons...

Commiserations to the USA peeps on here. It was men vs boys. The Netherlands are a top side.
