We're fucked. Let it go.

Ghana is a tough matchup for us and Portugal has Ronaldo. I hope you're right, but it'll be a challenge.

Everyone is beatable! AMERICA!

As much as I would hate seeing USA during second stage, I actually want them to be there with Germany. It would finally bring attention to NA soccer.

Ghana is one of (if not) the best team in Africa.
Portugal is getting stronger by the minute
Germany is Germany (too much depth)

USA doesn't really stand a chance, no matter how far their media outlets have said they come. The patriotic brainwashing into thinking the USA is amazing is silly. They do qualify in one of the weakest areas of the world.

Indeed. I do think the US has improved, but it'll be a miracle if we advance. Last time, we got an easy route as Slovenia and Algeria were far from top-notch competition. This time around, we have to face a Germany squad who can go all the way, Ghana who is one of our toughest matchips, and Portugal, who regardless of all of their other players, has Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 10x+ better than anyone we have or could dream of having.

Go canada go

Portugal will win the group! Go Portugal! I know they can beat Germany.

Who should I support since Canada sucks dick and never qualifies?

Im thinking Im going to go with the Netherlands since Im 25% dutch :lol:
