We play Germany at the same time Ghana plays Portugal. If we win or tie Germany we advance.

We can lose to Germany if Portugal and Ghana tie.

If they don't tie and we lose, it comes down to goal differentials. Ideally in this situation we barely lose and Portugal barely wins

Add thirty minutes to the game & the first one to score wins.

The dude is one of the best players on the team but has sucked big time in the world cup. Had probably the biggest "wtf" moment on that attempted clearance .

Just kick it as deep into the stands as possible and time expires. Cue USA chants.

Germany still gets first if we tie. There is no downside to us playing to a draw Thursday.

If we win, we win the group and get an easier opponent next week. I don't know what he's saying.

We're the fricking United States. We don't play to draw. We play to win.

We're team USA and we're going all the way.

Germany has more goals. If we draw, they'll get 1st we'll get 2nd

That was more what I was referring too. The downside is we don't win and not play Belgium.

I mean I'm perfectly fine just drawing but Germany isn't just going to play their B squad and give us an easy time. If it's halftime and we're tied and we see Ghana is winning, we may have a casual second half and Germany would probably lay off.

I'm just thinking a draw is the best we have in us so I'm happy taking 2nd in the "group of death"

Here are some reaction shots from our crew the past few games. The first 2 are from this Sunday at brew house in Atlanta. The ghana one was from a sports bar in Wilmington NC. All taken from a GoPro. Few things:

1) I am not the uploader, it is not my youtube account. Just to answer that question off the bat.

2) Yes there are ads on the videos, I apologize. I have nothing to do with that.

So, i turn on the soccer today in time to watch some thug from Uruguay bite an Italian player on the shoulder in some controversial upset game...

Apparently, this is the third biting incident for this greasy cockroach.

Wow. What a refined and noble sport the international game of soccer is.....

How did this go down...face to face and dude bites the shoulder? Sneak attack from behind? It's comical to me imagining a professional athlete biting someone's shoulder.

Soccer is far from noble and refined. The riots and shite that happens in soccer and the murders of athletes in some of the 3rd world nations are a testament to that. Golf is the refined sport.
