I know it's not in the American nature to celebrate anything but first place, but the US getting out of the group stage in 3 of the last 4 World Cups is a huge achievement for a country where soccer is a 2nd/3rd rate sport. I don't care what happens Tuesday (well that's not totally true, I want them to win) since I believe they already have played a really good World Cup this go around.

Great attitude to have dude!!! I was so very proud of our boys this cup.

The semi-final will be:

Brazil vs. Germany

There's not many Cinderella's stories in the World Cup.

Agreed on Colombia, they look terrific. If the game stays pure and without any referee interference, I see them beating Brazil.

I think Colombia looks a lot better than Brazil too, but that referee interference thing you mentioned...

Indeed. And the worst thing is, it's just like the way it's in Basketball. The home teams getting favorable calls is accepted like it's fair and normal. Whereas the home teams already have the spectator and atmosphere advantage.

I hope the game to be away from referee's charge as much as possible and the better side to win the game deservedly.

Keepers have to be fairly explosive to make tough saves. Positioning and reflexes only get you so far.

Ok. Thanks. This makes sense.

 

[BTP]

Good game by my country so far. Now finish le frogs in the 2nd half.

 

[Hekate]

I don't like this Brasil team at all.

5 down, 2 to go!

Is stuff going to burn in the streets if you guys lose?

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

I wanted to do Germany to beat Argentina in the final at 38:1. I will cry if that happens.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

All of Tim Howard's stops last game...in one gif.

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Neymar out for the rest of the WC with back injury. Sucks, I really don't want a Euro team to win. Although, I'm not sure I wanted Brazil either. I hope Costa Rica takes this thing. If not them, Argentina.

I am playing a tournament with my friends and that is the final that I picked. Looking really great right now, Silva and Neymar are out against Germany.

I don't think so. It's pretty much a party feeling on Brazil game days.

Neymar not playing is a big problem for Brazil, Thiago Silva's absence not that much, Dante(his backup) is pretty good, he is a starter at Bayern Münich, one of the best teams in the world.
