This is America, the world police. If they say they want to finish on 50 points, they will.

Also, any thread like this is always a good time for this song



Anyways i know nothing about soccer. How good are the teams the US is playing? Do they have a good chance of getting out of the group stage?

I don't really watch much football these days, but no. Portugal and Germany are both strong teams, unless something massive has changed since the last world cup. I can't imagine USA getting past either of them.

I'll be rooting for them though. Ireland isn't in the world cup because we suck at football, so I'll just be rooting for all the other teams that also suck that somehow still made it through. You gotta love an underdog.

USA are pretty much dead-certs to not make it out the group stage. Germany and Portugal are great teams, and Ghana aren't bad either. The only person who thinks USA will make it through is Romo, and that's because he has a giant boner for America.

[War Daddy]

I just want USA and Italy to do really well.

[Everlong]

Yeah you can talk about Germany and Portugal, but we definitely shouldn't overlook Ghana either, especially given their history of making life hell for team USA.

[xgamr]

no Donovan means we are more doomed than before.

[PorkChop]

no Donovan means we are more doomed than before.

Yeah, I think USA should be treating the World Cup as a holiday at this point. Losing Donovan is a massive blow to their hopes.

[Everlong]

Wait what happened to Donovan? Injury?

[PorkChop]

Wait what happened to Donovan? Injury?

I don't think so, he just wasn't named in the squad for some reason. Nobody understands the decision.

[prophet]

Donovan is a decent player but he's aged. I wouldn't say he's the catalyst of the American team anymore, not like he used to be at least.

To revise what I said earlier, yeah I'm very surprised Donovan wasn't named in that squad.
