Germany vs. France might be the game. I honestly feel the winner will win it all.

Comment dit-on "stud" en Francais?

...huh? Two games in the hex, Costa Rica won one, the US won the other. US topped the group. Not sure where you're getting "smashed" from.

I deliberately picked Costa Rica as an example because of the second place finish.

The U.S. won this shit, 1-0:



That 1 score was literally their only shot on goal in the entire game.

So yes, they managed to just barely beat Costa Rica at an altitude of 5k feet in snow bad enough it was starting to drift mid-game.



Then they went to Costa Rica and lost 3-1 in a game where the score should have been way worse than it was.

They got completely smashed it that rematch, and at the time it knocked the U.S. out of first and put Costa Rica there.

Italy as well, needs a long way to go. Sure, they are pretty good but I'd reserve using the adjective "extreme" for teams like 2010 Spain, late 90's France and Brazil. Going more past, old Uruguay, Hungary, England.

There is a luck factor of course, but Spain is currently FAR from being a great team overall. Their tiki-taka requires players working together in an extremely fluid fashion and Xavi, etc. no longer provide such a gameplay with their current stamina level (which is normal, they are getting old). Not to mention, opposition is also getting better at defending against tiki-taka.

We got Prandelli thanks to Italy going out so I am happy either way!

I'm not saying Spain is still at its prime, but it is still the defending WC champ, 2x defending euro champ, and runner-up in the last confed cup which was seriously one of the greatest soccer tournaments of all time.

They had a rough run here, but they're still among the top teams around.

yes, scoring one goal in a massive blizzard is a good representation of a team and it's ability.

WTF motherfuckers playing in the snow.

I mean, I know they do that in Russia and shit, but in 32 years, I've never seen a field look like that. Not even online!

Edit: Until now.
