You refuse to acknowledge the formula I see. No biggie I guess but I am unsure why you are arguing the point. If you don't care about the formula then use the SPI rankings where Brazil is ranked 3rd.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/spi/rankings?cc=5901
It's futile to try and project form and injuries out a year from now. It's a fair format. If the US plays to their ability, they're second favorites to advance. You can't expect more than that.
The first three games are not a year out. February will be here pretty quickly.
I understand the formula. Brazil doesn't have to qualify so they aren't playing a lot of tough competition. I think there are just as far away from three as they are from thirteen though. They got to the quarterfinals in 2010 through Chile and since then, with the exception of Argentina and Mexico, they have beat up on smaller competition. It's a hard team to rank right now. I'm sure they will do well in 2014 though.
At least it won't be snowing in Tegucigalpa
It is not just the type of team, it is the form of the game that matters much more because of the large multiplier given to the formula. Qualifiers are worth 2.5 times as much as a friendly when playing the same team. This is why the WC host typically drops in the rankings during the cycle because they lose the multiplier while every other team gets them.
The guy is a handful. He gets so much out of a big active body and a somewhat limited skill set.'CGRdrJoe said:
I have not heard anything concrete but it does make sense. What rumors have you heard?If he is not under contract I am sure he will go on a free but if he is still under contract it becomes more tricky. The transfer fee for a 29 year old who has never played abroad might not be enough to get him as he is obviously an important marketing tool for the new stadium.
Correct. SJ needs two to get to OT.
Hannover 96. Dunno if Hannovers 1 through 95 are interested.http://whatculture.com/sport/chris-wondolowski-a-guaranteed-january-transfer-target.phpI assume there's no way an MLS club can compete with what the Bundesliga can offer, salary-wise? Sucks if he leaves, but it'd be great to see him cash in.
Pretty much no they can't unless they are willing to make him a DP but even then I can't see them going more than say $600k. SJ is a small club even in MLS terms. I hope he can cash in, but it will depend on his contract status. If he is on a free he should end up somewhere in Europe on a 2-3 year deal. If not out of contract then I am not sure what will happen.
I am looking forward to seeing whom we put where. Rio Tinto might be good for the CR game. Saprissa = urine + batteries + artificial surface. What's not to like
===================================================Ignoring the hell hole that is Saprissa for a second, would you prefer an artificial surface or the cow pasture field like in Jamaica?

oh come on
I am not sure, but I don't think he was renaming him Jesus, if that is what is bothering you. I read it more like, in long form, "oh for Christ sake, Keane is going to have a hat trick by half time. "

Unfortunately it's a case of the Russian owner turning off the tap at short notice. The clubs trying to become self sufficient but can't do that overnight.We've taken our wage bill from £8.5mil to £5mil a year in just under 12 months. If we could get to 3.5 a year we'd be ok but with long contracts to be honoured and bills to be paid its difficult. :(
Pulling for you guys.

How good is the SPL tv contract? 8.5 million pounds is a pretty heavy budget for a team averaging barely 12k a year. That is less attendance than every team in MLS with a budget as high as LA's.Clearly in trouble after the 7-0 shellacking my Football Manager 13 Newcastle team just gave them in the Europa League.http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/20121107/the-future-of-heart-of-midlothian_2241384_2973347Which team are you referring to?My team is dying
