This is how i'd see it (based how their performances, not necessarily the results) 1.France 2.Turkey 3.Cameroon 4.Japan 5.Brazil 6.Colombia 7. USA 8. New Zealand Regarless of arguments about our lineups, systems, etc...I think few people would dissagree the US has been the most dissapointing team so far, especially because the potential these players have is far greater than what has been shown
Colombia rates above Japan. Cameroon above Turkey. Otherwise, that list is just about accurate. Unlike New Zealand, we didn't surrender three goals in an entire half.
1. France - the only thing against them is their group. 2. Cameroon - deserved leaders in the group of death. 3. Brazil - looked better against USA than Turkey and probably outplayed Cameroon. 4. Turkey - Not bad at #4. 5. Colombia - barely in front of Japan. We'll see tomorrow. 6. Japan - Big game vs. Colombia. 7. USA - could play with (at best a draw) Colombia and defeat Japan if in Group A. 8. New Zealand - shouldn't be in France.
Defeat Japan?!?! Are you smoking crack? Japan is one of the nicest playing sides in this tournament and is tremendously underrated internationally.
Yep, that's exactly my list. I would have predicted the US at #5. It's been a disappointing tournament so far. Redemption on Monday, hopefully.
