Landon Donovan: U.S. Expects to Advance Out Of World Cup ‘Group of Death’

Let's wait awhile to make excuses.

 

i'd agree with that assessment. i know the aussies might disagree, but i'd say theirs isn't the group of death bc they're in it

 

Well maybe this time. But last time we were in the Group of Life, with a lesser seed and the weakest teams from the other two pots.

 

Bloviate - good word.

 

I had to look it up to be sure. The online Merrian-Webster dictionary even asked this...
"What made you want to look up bloviate? Please tell us where you read or heard it (including the quote, if possible)."

 

Amen, we were give a good opportunity with a week group and made the most of it, winning and giving us Ghana instead of Germany in the second round. Some argue that our inclusion defines a group of death, that is not so as was witnessed last WC.

 

I don't think in my lifetime I'll see a better draw than the one in 2010.

 

I hope he gets in shape. I would like to see a speedy Donovan as in 2002.

 

This could be Jimmy Conrad punking Karl-Heinz, as he does Kevin-Prince earlier, but interesting nonetheless:
