There's 2 games left. Lots of scenarios. Theoretically it's possible they could lose today and still advance.

What a fun game... this World Cup is winning some new fans for sure. Start to finish it's been great so far.
Also, if you don't stop the play so your player can get treatment why should I stop it? Like Man United's approach (IIRC) -- just tell them before the game "we're not stopping play and you shouldn't either."

Early tomorrow, I am heading to a remote part of Canada to salmon fish for the better part of a week. If the US beats Portugal, I will deserve a lot of grief and I don't want people to think I disappeared. For the record, my betting results have been terrible--most recently Brazil ML (-270) and Spain ML (-170) so if the trend continues, USA should be golden.

I'd like to see a video of Roger Goodell watching these soccer celebrations with a look of disdain.

Ugh... wish Suarez wasn't playing today, but if he's going to play I hope he plays well.

I'm really enjoying this World Cup. It's been fun. And my friend who is a die hard soccer fan just said the same thing. But I don't agree entirely. I get excited for Curling in the Olympics, but I would never watch it any other time. I don't think I'll ever watch a soccer match outside of the World Cup. Just not my cup of tea. Don't get me wrong. Like I said, I'm enjoying the crap out of it. But next month, soccer will be done for me until 2018.

Group A: Brazil (don't think either Mexico or Croatia have enough)
Group B: Dutch and Chile
Group C: Colombia
Group D: maybe Italy, but I don't think they'll have enough for 7 games
Group E: maybe France, but doubt it
Group F: Argentina
Group G: Germany
Group H: Belgium

Oh, sure. Not everyone who watches is going to become a fan. But some of them will.

Comments on Eurosport from Mourinho saying "Suarez can find a penalty nobody else finds" is just hilarious....

Unlike curling, soccer has millions of people in the US watching watching week in and week out whether there is a WC playing or not.
Every other WC has always drawn new fans to the sport. I don't understand why you think this one won't draw new fans when every other one since 1994 has. Whether or not you will watch is not really the point to what you responded too imo.
If the sport picks up 1 out of every 10 WC only watchers who then continue, it has picked up new fans.

Pump the brakes there, GB. I wasn't saying there wouldn't be any new fans picked up. My point was only that not everyone that is excited about the WC will go on to be soccer fans year round. It wasn't meant to be a knock or anything. I've just heard a lot of friends who are soccer fans talking about the numbers of viewers and how soccer was going to be so big after this. All I was saying is don't be fooled into thinking that all of these rabid WC fans will continue on to be rabid soccer fans.
Of course some will. I never said they wouldn't.

If Dempsey isn't right (not sleeping, can't breath, can't run for long in the heat), he's got to be benched.
----------------Howard
Fabian--Cameron--Besler--Beasley
-----Bedoya--Beckerman--Jones
----------Bradley--Johannsson
----------------Wondo
Obviously not a great option with Wondo alone, so maybe you go back to a diamond with Zusi in for Beckerman and move Johannson up top?

I like England. They looked a lot better in the first round and it was against stiffer competition. My only major concern for England is why the team seemed to fall apart in the second half. Was it mental, that can be fixed. It is an issue of fitness, it's too late to improve.

Jesus what a mess if Dempsey does not start :(
I could see your lineup with a small tweak. You can't keep Beckerman outside like that imo. He has to sit in front if the back two and just clog the middle.
....Bedoya.........Beckerman............Jones
That is closer to what it looked like against Turkey and Ghana. If you want Jones to help on CRo he and Bedoya could switch if needed.

If it's an issue of fitness, it may be fixed by not playing in the rainforest this time.
A: Brazil
B: Dutch, Chile
C: Colombia
D: Nobody
E: France
F: Argentina
G: Germany, USA
H: Nobody
Top 4: Germany, Argentina, Colombia, France
Next 4: Holland, Brazil, Chile, USA
England sucks. They have similar issues as Spain, only the English are not as good. HTH

Ok I understand.
When you responded saying you disagreed with the statement "this World Cup is winning some new fans for sure" it did not sound like what you just said. The bold is the key part that caused the confusion in your first response.

Yeah... was dragging guys around and dropped Bedoya in the wrong place. Had already updated that.

It's all good. No worries. I knew we were saying the same thing, essentially. I was just doing it in a confusing matter.
