Belgium 3-0-0 (+3) 9

Algeria 1-1-1 (+1) 4

Russia 0-2-1 (-1) 2

South Korea 0-1-2 (-3) 1

 

We have finally reached the final group and it could be an important one for the USMNT and their fellow Group of Death members.  Any team coming out of G will be matched with a Group F team in the Round of 16.  The favorite here is obviously Belgium.  The darkhorse of many, Belgium seems to be overrated or underrated, depending on who you talk to.  Regardless of how you feel about them they definitely got a favorable draw here to get through their group.  I have them winning the group and taking out the USA in the Round of 16 before falling to Messi and Co. in the quarters.

 

The difference between first and second in Group F is likely the difference between a winnable game to begin the Knockout phase and a date with Germany.  I have Russia as the team that will have to be content with qualifying because they are not beating the Germans.

Belgium can compete with any team in this tournament. I think they are a lock for the quarters. I have them losing to Argentina as well, but it wouldn't really shock me if Belgium won that match.

 

Honestly I really wanted to pick them in that match, but the home continent thing was too much to sway me

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      While I really hope things pan out for the young man, sometimes you've got to make a calculated guess on your returns. I wanted so bad to see us use our first round pick on a LB, C or TE this season, but I think this one injury changes everything. I might suggest taking the best and the second best OTs available in the draft with our first and second round picks. The injury to Icky really makes the first one a good choice and an affordable one. And Moton, who is long in the tooth, needs someone in the wings behind him.  This also means that BC is going to need to get a contract for this upcoming season both as a starter at LT and to train the younger player behind him. Also it means that we need to extend a solid contract to Cade Mays and lock him down as our Center for the next four years. Maybe Icky can recover fully and be a starting LT again, but the odds aren't in his favor. Maybe he could be back in line to play as a guard right as our current starters' contracts wind down. It's not pretty having to spend all your picks and money on the line, but it seems to be the wise investment in light of everything.

      Unfortunate situation.  if one of the top LTs fall in the draft I think it’s a no brainer draft pick. Then if icky returns he can move to guard and replace one of our highly paid guards that are here now.

      I dont really expect anyone to have any character or values when the system doesn't. I would respect those who did though. College Football is losing what little interest I had in it. I wasn't against giving the athletes some control but whatever this system is will kill it over time.
