Fug indeed. We are going to have a rough go of it. Hopefully we can pull off something special.

Would be the greatest accomplishment in US Soccer history to date.

Well I got my wish which was playing top competition in group play. I think Ghana finishes 4th in the group, Somehow Germany will have a disappointing World Cup and gladly take 3rd, USA with a counter attack strategy will win on goal differential and finish 2nd, a determined Portugal side gets two wins and a draw for 1st place.

 

 

fug. But in honesty, I'm not trying to watch weak ass competition, I like this draw.

I am not a fan of this.  In addition to obviously rooting for USA, I am a Germany fan.  Suppose it will make it easier to get time off work since they play the same day, but still did not want them facing off.

 

I'm with you. Large part of my family is German, so this is worst case scenario for me.

I think the key will be the second game in the rainforest.  I really believe that the third time is the charm against Ghana.  USA needs to at least forge a tie against Portugal and do enough against Germany to win the goal differential battle.  That is assuming Germany takes care of both the other two as well.  Should Portugal get a result in the opener then things become really tough.

I've not been happy with the way the team is coming together. We don't have any studs in the back 4. If our midfield is healthy we will be ok and up front we don't have a bell cow. This draw is brutal. Unless some things break our way we could leave the tournament with 0 points. It feels like we get tough draws frequently. Last cycle wasn't bad but 2002 and 2006 was brutal. Anything is possible but this draw is killing my excitement for the World Cup.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
