    I was talking about the Dutch national team, we played in a black shirt in 2012 and had one of our worst tournaments. And iirc the matches we played in back shirts before that were also pretty bad.

    The United States will not make it out of the group stages
    Belgium will be in the semi finals
    Brazil will not win the tournament
    Spain will not be in the semi finals

    US drew Uruguay, Nigeria, and Croatia in Group B during FIFA's rehearsal yesterday. I'd take that.

    Indeed, Uruguay and Nigeria are overrated. US can definitely beat them. Croatia becomes a little more difficult.

    So excited for the draw. Born in the US but parents are from Chile, so I'll be looking for both draws!

    Being in group B is the best part of that for me (games in Rio and Sao Paulo).

    Keep in mind, the second place of group B will have to face against first place of group A (Brazil), so hopefully US doesn't have to fall into that pattern.

    my thoughts exactly! Everyone watching this couldn't care less for these first 30 minutes of filler and absolute nothing. Get to the good stuff already!

    LOL @ the U.S. English broadcasts... y'all got some dude talking about "what's best and what's worst" when Pelé is talking LIVE. LOL!

    No wonder Football (SOCCER) isn't a revered sport here... have it for FREE TV on ABC or another World Cup station... not on ESPN. Also, don't have dudes talking while Pelé is making a statement and welcoming THE WORLD to this festival.

    :p Come on, USA (in English). Follow Univisión's lead!

    And I was talking about HEAT, which is absorbed more by black jerseys than with lighter (yellow, white, orange, tan, etc.) jerseys. Heat is what kills the Pittsburgh Steelers in September. :)
