Wait what? As an American you should be thrilled. If USA wins against Ghana and draws against Portugal, they will most likely advance. You should root for Germany to thrash Protugal.
That's why I don't bet when my teams are involved, I like watching Portugal and want to see them do well but I could never root against the US. At this point I wanna see Germany score 2 or 3 more
Did Ronaldo just swap jerseys with someone in the tunnel before the second half? Anyone know what's up with that? _
Nice. Muller hat trick. Germany up by 4-0 Hey Stokes Yes he did swap with Khedira. Both are teammates playing for Spanish giant Real Madrid.
Wow.... that was an ass whooping. Even down 10 men I don't think Germany would thrash them 4-0. I'm glad that Portugal didn't get a cheap goal at the end. -4 in GD is not an enviable position to be in. That being said if the US doesn't take advantage I will be very angry for quite a few days. BTW I'm pulling for Iran in the next game.... I think they are better than Nigeria but honestly it;s a really shitty group as only 2 teams are worth a shit.
But was there a reason? Seems weird that players would swap jerseys during a game, no? Is it permitted in soccer? _
US is set up. Now we gotta get the shit together and beat Ghana. 3rd time the charm. Ugly, good, lucky, unfair -- don't care. Just win baby!
Hi Stokes To be honest, I haven't seen this done before since I am following futbol. It is always done at the end of the game. No it isn't against the rules as soon as you wear the same jersey with the same number. Teams bring extra jerseys to stadium in case they are torn etc.
Seeing as my natural team choices aren't in it (Ireland and Canada) I'm going to pull for you guys. Go USA!!
Nice start so far. So surprised to see Michael Essien in the Substitutes. He is much better than all of Ghana midfielders except maybe Muntari. Good situation for USA.
My friend literally minutes ago: "Yeah, I guess I will watch with you, but its tough to watch a game where no one scores GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Whoa, that was quick!"
Ghana is pressing. They better start moving because their crosses are getting more and more dangerous.
English announcers, after Altidore misses a chance: "Rooney gets hammered for missing a chance like that." Yeah, well Altidore isn't Rooney.
