Soccer / Football 2012-2013 Always With The GERMANS!

[Tyrath]

Luckily nothing happens late in stoppage time anyway.

Did you watch USA vs portugal?

[Lucavi]

Well it was sloppy (fuck Bradley), but its in the books.

[Byrd]

So now we root for a Belgian loss and an Algerian win. If that happens, the US would get Algeria in the round of 16 instead of Belgium.

[Meresgi]

Germany fo lyfe x 1000

Good to see US move on though, hopefully strengthen's the sport in the country a bit more...because fuck baseball/basketball.

[Ashmada]

Or Argentina - Iran.

Edit: Byrd, I'll cut you!

Good luck with Belgium losing to Korea...

[Rhyis.]

Yeah no shit lol

A lot of unexpected has happened so far. One can hope!

[Ashmada]

Januzaj gonna start, just confirmed.

Otoh, so will Dembelé & Chadli, and they suck. Also, Januzaj takes Hazard's slot. So, mixed feelings.

oh sweet the "this is proof that soccer is better in america now" has already started

Nah bro. I don't wanna deal with Belgium next round. Germany vs Algeria or Russia please.

[Xajii]

The US played a hell of a game

not really though, i mean keeping it to 1 goal is good but jesus christ that was sloppy, passing was nonexistent, every half decent chance over or underkicked

last 30 seconds looked great though lol

I'd say in comparison to my expectations then. Because I really didn't expect us to do as well as we did defensively and keep the Germans to 1.

[Rhyis.]

Honestly Germany is just leagues ahead.

Dat midfield.

I would contend this only happened in the second half. US exhaustion + Germany shutting the US right the fuck down.

First half, US was top notch.

[BadKarma]

KNOCKOUTS WOOOO

[Ashmada]

Boye scored quite a nice goal. Too bad he scored it in the wrong goal.

[Tyrath]

First half, US was top notch.

Wat? Germany had like 5 chances in the first 10 mins. Then the US was okay for a bit, but overall Germany kept hammering the chances. Tim Howard and Omar Gonzalez probably saved over 5 goals between them.

i will say, the US played a good ~20 minutes in the second part of the first half. very good in fact, but the other 70 minutes were pretty sloppy

US > SpainEnglandItaly

can't argue that
