2014 World Cup - Brazil

I'm hoping this is a message that he's sending to Donovan that he's not above the team, but that ultimately, he makes it onto the team.

 

Pretty much agree with some exceptions

A: Brazil, Croatia
B: Chile, Spain
C: Ivory Coast, Colombia
D: Italy, Uruguay
E: France, Switzerland
F: Argentina, Nigeria
G: Germany, Portugal
H: Belgium, S Korea

 

There's no chance that happens. The backlash to that would be worse than just leaving Donovan off the team. Whoever the guy is that he cuts (after thinking he made the final roster) for Donovan would be a bad precedent to set.

 

Can't wait for tonights game.

 

Injury might happen.

Am I the only person who has never heard of Azerbaijan? like wtf?

 

Yeah, it might. But why wish an injury on a player?

LD at this point in time isn't one of the 4 forwards. The guys ahead are clearly better to start and/or come off the bench without feeling the need to pamper the guy and put him ahead of the team. LD has an ego and if its not met.. he pouts. Last thing you want during the WORLD CUP.. is someone who will complain... IF and IF he is brought in on the team. The guy will not start. Can he accept that? Probably not before the cut. But now... he might.. but he still doesn't deserve it and you have to trust Klinnsman.

 

#MoveOn

FTW

 

#Dempsey pulled for hamstring pull (just for caution pulled him out)... Wondo with a golden chance to perform good.

 

Im confident in Wondo

 

Damn. Nearly forgot about this game.

 

Man, that was so embarrassing to watch the crowd sing the anthem.

 

We won't make fun of you for it. OK, maybe a little.

They tied Russia and lose 2-0 and 3-0 to portugal... got a semi-rough group in qualifying

 

It is not about Wondo, they took DAVIS ahead of Landon - while I like the left foot, he is not even close to Lando even at this time.

Here's what I posted on Facebook right after the groups were announced...
many injuries since then but feeling lazy to revise so i'm sticking to it.





Anyhow, are y'all guys interested in creating a bracket or something!?:grin:

 

Huh? Where do you get that from? Part of Donovan's problem was that he was only being considered at forward.

 

Brad Davis looks pretty good. US needs somebody who can whip in a decent cross. Johansson couldn't miss that.

 

Tests will get tougher from here with Turkey and Nigeria. I like what the subs brought to the game.

 

This one I would agree with largely, except that I think Brazil will win the final.
