Magox Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Germany looks scary! Extremely impressed with them, if they play like this I don't see anyone beating them.

BTW, thank you to Germany for getting Pepe ejected for the US game. Now work on a Ronaldo red card.
Cugalabanza Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Just wow. Portugal down a man and 3-0 to start the second half.
LB3 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Psyched for the game tonight. USA needs to beat Ghana for two reasons: 1. We need a win to have a chance at getting out of the group. 2. I don't think Cruz could take it again... Edited June 16, 2014 by KikoSeeBallKikoGetBall
meazza Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I can't recall a world cup where germany didn't dominate in the group stages. They are always a favourite.

That head butt was pretty agregious. Germany looking very, very strong here. As noted before, however, Portugal defense is very suspect. This one might get ugly.
meazza Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 If you guys want to beat Germany, wear Italy jerseys
Wayne Cubed Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Müller looking on form again. German team looks solid even without Schweinsteiger out there.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I don't know what to do with myself right now. Took the day off today to watch Germany/Portugal. That is over, and now there is 4 hours until game time. The lawn is mowed, weeds have been whacked, chores are all done. This is the type of excitement I feel on Sunday mornings! Go USA!!

And that's coming from someone who has watched every Bills game since about 1982*. Today's game is like a Bills superbowl for me.

Yeah, I understand. I know I'm not in the majority. I guess I don't suffer enough as a Bills fan. I needed that extra loveable loser team to latch onto. There must be some previous life bad stuff that I need to atone for.

It's not a Superbowl for me but definitely the most exited I've been for a match since 2011 and the Women's WC (I am a girls travel coach and have a soccer-playing daughter who worships the women's team, so I spend a lot of time watching them).
Deranged Rhino Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 This thread and this thread alone has gotten me excited about the World Cup in general and today's game. So cheers, all.

The women's international games are great to watch. Great soccer--very entertaining.
