Great individuals. They have some of the best talent in the tournament. But can they play well as a team? We will soon see.
where is the US playing? Its piping hot in Florida today. I just got done with a game in the morning and the guys were roasted
The USA game was in Chicago. England just played New Zealand in Tampa. Now there it was hot. high of 88. They only won 1-0. Brazil and Egypt tied at 1. but the bigger news is that Wesley had to come out injured. he was holding his groin and crying with a towel over his head on the bench. Possibly another pre-world cup game casualty.
Brazil had a boring friendly against Egypt; both sides making a defense error that gave each a free goal. Even with Enrick scoring one, the highlights aren't worth checking out.
Portugal missed 2 clear chances at the start and had one goal disallowed vs Chile. Portugal is stacked with good players
But against Chile I was expecting more. Than again, they too are experimenting to prepare themsleves so maybe it isn't fair to take it seriously.
yeah, definitely the benefit of having the tournament here. now the asians are the ones who get to suffer the pain
I don't know man. I watched them draw denmark 0-0. Don't think denmark qualified but still they're ranked 20th in the world....
We are talking about a team that took extra time to beat Jamaica 1-0. I mean we should respect all of our opponents but they are inconsistent and rarely play teams outside of Africa so expect the expected.
They played Jamaica before the Ebola outbreak but yes. Thoughts and prayers to the people who are suffering.
Nah, other than the usual teams (Morocco, Nigeria, Cameroon, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Egypt), African teams are kind of weak; they may have a few talented players but rely a lot on physicality and speed. I'm not saying that we're going to breeze by them, but that Colombia should beat them 8 out of 10 times.
