I think the report of sending the money was to keep the players appeased but don't think they actually sent it. If they did Brazil has a big tax for money coming into the country. I don't think they would have asked for part of their prize money early if they had actually sent the $3M. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...h-to-brazil-to-pay-angry-players-9564231.html
I saw some photos of the rain nearby and people trying to get to the stadium: looks crazy! Hoping USA can pull off the victory today!!
Wouldn't the US still be zapped also? That would be the worst outcome, if the US and Portugal are worn out and both lose. I'm hoping Portugal can beat Ghana or at least get a draw.
Since we're playing Germany: I can't find the image from 2010 which broke down the German squad and their origins (Africa, Poland, etc.). Best I could find
own goal in the other match great first half result for us germany had some good chances, they attacked
Not at all. They are really hustling. Trying to win the game. I like what I am seeing from this US team. They are not backing off. They are really playing nice against a powerhouse. Can't believe this. Each country in the world has soccer as number one sport and send their best athletes to soccer. In here, soccer is 5th after NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL yet USA soccer team is playing in the big boys arena and playing really hard.
No Stokes I was agreeing with you. My bad English. I was trying to say Germany is playing to win and they definitely not looking for a draw. USA played real well against a German team that tries their best.
