2014 Fifa World Cup Qualifying

Mesut Ozil had a nice hat trick earlier for Germany. Nice to see him scoring goals, it's the one part of the game he needs to work on. A great assist man, he often ends up with good shots on goal for himself. Madrid has struggled to score goals in a couple of their games this year so it'll be a plus to have Ozil as another scoring threat.

The USA is tied with Jamaica at the moment, a team they most definitely should beat.

Tons of games today as well. I saw some of Russia's destruction of Israel earlier. USA will be in a bad spot if they lose a second time to Jamaica. Should be going all out in that one tonight.

A draw tonight and the bad performances are erased. We will have gotten through our two toughest tests in the first three games and will still be in a qualification spot. That being said, I am expecting a disaster, Mexico is the one in the more dangerous situation.

We have certainly been helped by all other games ending in a tie, hope that continues.

Man that is some hopeful thinking.

I'll take a draw. A 3-1 win would be epic.

It's highly possible. Mexico has all the pressure. They are in Mexico. Team USA has won in the Azteca before. And again, Ochoa, is horrid.

Trust me I'm not feeling good about my teams performance tonight. I just honestly believe team USA has all the momentum and is primed to win tonight.

I'm looking for the Netherlands to rebound from a heart breaking loss in the last World Cup final game to take it all in Brazil. Bit of a weaker qualifying division this time, but at 6-0 with 20 goals for and just 2 against, they are well on their way to show the world that they can....finally...for the love of god...win it all!!!

Cool. One of our players stated that the pressure is on them. It's true.

    • I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased. 
    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
