Lol be nice they don't have a bad team. Every fan has the right to hope & I've seen various miracles unfold.
Yeah that was a bit harsh,I think they are a above average team,have some Nice prospects,but still it would be a surprise for me if they make it out of that Group,I mean Ghana is Not an Easy task either.
Did anyone else find England's defensive tactic absolutely ridiculous? No pressure on Italy whatsoever until the ball was close to their own box. Raid after raid was met with England players constantly back-peddling instead of attacking the ball and pressuring Italy.
Who's mad? I understand exactly what he was saying. Most think, though, that he could've avoided saying it in public since he's the coach. And if you don't understand the jokes about Italy and diving, I'm thinking we might not be the delusional ones.
No sane American thinks that the odds are in our favor to get out of our group. There was a time (really not that long ago) when the US didn't even same capable of beating an upper echelon team. We're way past that point now and the US does have a chance to beat any team on the field. With that said, the odds are still low to get out of this group. Personally I'm still sticking with Germany and Portugal to get out of the group but the US making it through wouldn't be a very big shock. Americans (like myself) don't follow much international soccer so seeing the big names on European teams isn't really intimidating because we don't actually know any of the players. So it becomes very easy to become overconfident once your country pride factor takes over.
You forgot about "Daddy Cool" (Bony) and Chieck Tiote. EPL players for Shastarocket to watch. I think someone already mentioned Gervinho. Hope shastarocket is watching the match.
So, judging by the number of posts about this game there are lots of people from Africa in this forum or at least rooting for CIV? Both this teams have a very shaky defense. Colombia will definitely win this group.
