really not that bad.

What makes you say that? Best team in the world (Germany), team that owns us (Ghana), and team with the second best player in the world (Portugal). We are by FAR the worst team. Not saying advancing is impossible, but this is a very tough draw.

So I have tickets for F2 vs F3. Apparently the seeded teams will be drawn into A1 to H1. I will probably get Iran vs. Bosnia.

At least we have Jurgen, I mean Germany will still rape us but at least having him be coach gives me a glimmer of hope. You have to fight German with German. I'm still pissed about 2002

but on the bright side, the most pud team we play only has essien, asamoah, muntari, kbp, etc

AbeFroman · « **Reply #1855 on:** December 06, 2013, 11:26:42 AM »

Does Essien still have knees?

Hey FIFA

We beat Portugal in 2002 and we should have had a penalty to tie the game up in the QF against Germany. And eff Ghana from 2010 too. USA is going to be like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill

USA have to travel 8,866 miles for their 3 matches.

39.4% chance to advance. Third highest in the group. Just behind Portugal (40.3%). Could be much worse.

We get a win in game 1 against Ghana, and we're in business. One game at a time.

it's obama, isn't it?

Tobias · « **Reply #1864 on:** December 06, 2013, 11:37:41 AM »

all things considered, pretty fair draw across the board and some interesting matchups

Honestly the World Cup would be better off being run by the Mafia. At least in that case the corruption would be out in the open and we could buy off everyone.

If we do manage to make it out of our group that means we're playing great, so we'd be a good bet to go much further

Poll

I'm thinking of wrecking threads everywhere until this shit gets fixed or I get banned, should I?
