Does Germany's recent injury spell give the USA some hope in the GROUP OF DEATH? I doubt it, but it sure would be nice to advance to the sweet soccer sixteen.
here's my recipe for the USA advancing:
1. Germany dominates Ghana (10-0) and Portugal (8-0), so by the time game three comes up, they are already advanced.
2. We get two ties: Ghana and Portugal.
3a. Then, we either advance on goals if Ghana and Portugal tie and we lose to or tie Germany.
OR
3b. We beat Germany 1-0 because they are resting all of their players.
Could happen!
I can't believe there are still people getting away with calling Group G the group of death...Group D, my friends.

We are pretty excited about the Copa here. I'm heading to both US v Portugal and US v Germany. I have two tix to the final in Maracanã as well and a few of my analysts have tickets to the oitavas e semis…so maybe they'll feel charitable and invite the boss (doubtful!).
It's starting to feel like a Copa here. I think the seleção is over-rated and Neymar is an unproven talent internationally, but unlike Messi, he plays well with the national team.
My favorite player for the canarinho is Fred…unsung hero who tends to come through in the clutch (embora que eu não goste do tri).
My guess is Holland gives Brasil fits in the oitavas and Chile is the dark horse da Copa…no idea who wins but I sure want the US to kick Cristiano Ronaldo's pansy ass.

Nate Silver is giving Brazil a 45% chance of winning the whole thing!
Joined. I know jack-spit about soccer, but I enjoy the excitment and passion of the fans, and actually watch some of the more relevant or important matches during the world cup. My picks will be the equivalent of the secratary's bracket during march madness where she picks based on color and mascot.

I've got a 1 in 6 chance to win the UB5 group...feeling pretty good.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

You all may be interested to read some of the previews etc...if that is your bag.

The Van Persie header was one of the best goals I've seen, maybe the best
What was that I said about the REAL group of death again?

BOOYWAH! What a result on the pitch! Payback!
Now, I'm not sure we can hang with Portugal or Germany, but if we can sneak out one more point, I think we advance.
