Futebol dos Gringos: Football unrelated to NT and Brasileirão [R]

Yes, I completely agree. In all honesty if I had to put a WC squad together with my life on the line, he'd be a starter for me.

 

LOL. Portugal 3 - Israel 3

Yes, I typed that correctly, ISRAEL

 

Got hurt, was limping around

 

Mexico choking big time against Honduras just blew a 2 goal lead in 2 minutes lol.

 

They have a decent team, and are tough at home. They won de virada against the US also.

 

not to impressed by Honduras I won money picking them over the usa last round at least. I wonder how the Us vs Costa Rica match will go.

 

I'd be afraid to watch that. They have no D at all. luckily ND is playing at the same time, so I dont have to go through that torture.

 

There will be plenty of commercial breaks lol.

 

I know a couple ND fans that picked Iowa St. They choke in the tourney every year, let alone having to go out west and play the late game.
Gtown, theres no way they keep shooting like they did in the 1st half.

 

nah nevermind, your bracket is F'd

 

LOL, i switch over to espn and its a blizzard. That's a f'n disgrace for a qualifier. I never again want to see another fellow USMNT fan bitching relentlessly about a central american team scheduling a mid-day game in the summer.

 

I don't think so to many teams losing points at home.

 

USMNT bout to take another in their new 2nd home .

And what'd with this 10:30 bullshit. I'll be lucky to make it until the half, without falling asleep.

 

Germany wins yet again.

What's with Portugal, that they can't beat Israel and nearly lost?

Argentina did not forget the six goals they received the last time they went there and deployed a team with 5 zagueiros. I guess it worked, because at least they didn't lose. Better a tie than a historic humiliation.

Uruguay in sixth after losing to Chile 2-0, and Ecuador routs Paraguay 4-1. I didn't think these two teams would be struggling. And Venezuela beats Colombia 1-0?

 

I hadn't been following CONMEBOL qualifying, so it is only now that I've been made aware Paraguay is last in the standings. This is a team that was in 1998, 2002, 2006, and 2010, and I'm surprised, as their teams tend to be tough in the Libertadores. Perhaps Libertad should represent Paraguay in the qualifying matches.

Uruguay in 6th? What happened to the 2011 Copa America championship team? Perhaps they need a serious rebuilding effort.

Ecuador, Chile, and Colombia looking steady, even though Colombia lost to Venezuela.

 

In other words: it's time to rebuild.

You mean teams other than Brazil. Argentina lost its last match there 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier. We did lose to them 2-0 but that was a friendly in the United States during one of Dunga's worse moments. We've never lost a competitive match to Venezuela.
