You guys haven't seen much of the USA if you thought Portugal was going to win. USA is a very strong team, tactically very disciplined, physically and mentally strong and fast players and very clinic in front of the goal. They very much like an underpowered Germany (with Mexico being an underpowered Spain, lot of possession but no goals :p).

I knew US was going to win against Portugal and just by a miracle it didn't happen. Against Germany will be a hard fight and I can see a tie between them. In 2002 the US taught a football lesson to Germany, but in the end couldn't score and Germany did. It won't be easy for the Germans.


Dude, it's not that USA is that good or someone slept on them, but should expect them to win. It's Portugal that is in a complete crisis, the team is playing the worst football this century and that is the only reason why they drew this game. Drew. USA is solid, but should never stand a chance in this group.


The US beat them too in 2002, the score was 3-2 and Portugal had a better team then, or at least they played better with Luis Figo on the team. The US has a very strong team that should not be underrated.

Netherlands-Chile because I don't think they're showing the other game here in Sweden (I would've picked it anyway)


They are showing both games.

They're on TV4 and TV12.

Based on current group standings, this will be the knock-out stages. Remember: it will probably chance.

Thought? Especially the chances for Argentina, Netherlands and Belgium are really good.


From what I've seen this tournament, Belgium doesn't stand a chance against the US. Their players are talented but lack a lot of experience.

So which game are you watching? I'm going with Australia - Spain to see their slow demise.

Both games are meaningless and potentially boring, so I choose option #3: The beach.

Everybody us getting psyched for tonight's match, bars will make a fortune...

Lens is playing terrible just like Sneijder and Wijnaldum. Van Gaal should bring in at least Depay and Clasie for the second half.

Spain winning now. Villa is the man they needed. Why would they use Torres and not Villa before?

I don't think anyone cares about that game anymore :p But yeah, Villa would have been a better choice and Koke + Cazorla on midfield and Felipe Luis instead of Alba

Villa is just the better scorer. There are also other better forwards than Torres, like Aduriz (maximum Spanish scorer this year).

I will never understand the obsession with Torres.
