Cugalabanza Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Next USA game against Portugal will be played in Manaus... USA allready looked like they were short on conditioning against Ghana, they will get smoked by Portugal in Manaus if they are really behind on conditioning. Manuas is horrible. I don't understand what was going on with the US. They usually rely on great conditioning. It's like somebody put something in their gatorade yesterday with the muscle strains. Altidore, Besler, Johnson, Bedoya all were gimping around.
kegtapr Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Whats so bad about Manuas? CBF It's in the middle of the amazon.
eball Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Whats so bad about Manuas? CBF Classic example of FIFA lunacy. In the middle of nowhere, inaccessible, and will host all of three matches. Then they have a great big stadium that will sit empty.

Cugalabanza Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Belgium not living up to the hype so far. Down 1-0 to Algeria.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Thats surprising Edit: 1-1 now CBF Edited June 17, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan
meazza Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Belgium not living up to the hype so far. Down 1-0 to Algeria. Talent does not automatically equal success but it's still early.
John Adams Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Belgium dominating this half. Now 2-1 and Algeria has no answers. Nice goals. I don't understand what was going on with the US. They usually rely on great conditioning. It's like somebody put something in their gatorade yesterday with the muscle strains. Altidore, Besler, Johnson, Bedoya all were gimping around. Cameron was working on his achilles too. A strange game on that front to be sure.
Peter Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Thankfully, my wife is Dutch so I have a good back up team to fall back on. CBF You and I are in the same situation. My wife is Dutch as well. We both have a very good "back up" team. Hup Holland Hup.
meazza Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 You and I are in the same situation. My wife is Dutch as well. We both have a very good "back up" team. Hup Holland Hup. I wonder how the Dutch feel knowing that Belgium is much better than them

Cugalabanza Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Mexico holding on (0-0 at halftime). I'm rooting for them to do well. I just like to see Brazil frustrated. Also, I want USA, Mexico and Costa Rico to represent for CONCACAF. (Honduras can go to hell, those cheap thugs) Edited June 17, 2014 by Cugalabanza

BringBackFergy Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Ochoa! Just saw the highlights...he was amazing.
KD in CA Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Just saw the highlights...he was amazing. The last one (header off the penalty kick) was unbelievable. Pure instinct. Edited June 17, 2014 by KD in CT
LewPort71 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Who says a 0-0 tie is not exciting? What a contest
