World Cup Soccer
 
Is anyone watching USA playing?

BarryRX 06-22-2014 03:11 PM
I will be, but the game doesn't start until about 530 I think.

I am watching but I am finding it is as slow as baseball where you can dual task at the same time - like read a book during the game or post on TOTV!

Absolutely!

C'mon lads! We gave up an easy goal in the first half, but we are playing pretty strong against the number 4 team in the world. We can do this!

BarryRX 06-22-2014 06:23 PM
GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL! Tied up 1-1 with 25 minutes to go! USA USA!

BarryRX 06-22-2014 06:40 PM
Another Goal! US up 2-1 with 9 minutes to play. Unbelievable!!!!!!

BarryRX 06-22-2014 06:54 PM
Oh No! Reynaldo delivers the perfect cross with 30 seconds left to play. We got a tie, but it was terrible.....should have had a win.

Agree 100%. I may need a defibrillator.

Me too. They played a great game and deserved all 3 points. Oh well, bring on Die Mannschaft.

I hated to be right with my prediction of 2-2. It was really just one of the experts that made the most sense.

Germany is going to be a lot harder for them to win.

I had it at 2 - 1 USA

The last second goal cost me 4 points in the world cup pick the winners game.

If we tie Germany, both the USA and Germany go through to the knockout round. Maybe both teams should just sit down and have a picnic together for 90 minutes.

There probably going to be a lot of personal issues with this one because of the US head coach's being an ex German team soccer player. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/so...icle-1.1839926

It's becoming a very popular sport in America.

I wonder how many concussion's in soccer? You would think some minimum headgear would make sense. Don't want to be negative but U.S. won't be the favorite playing Germany.

Does anyone know of any places in TV where people gather to watch the U.S. games?

They were pretty heavy underdogs against Portugal and look at what happened.

With the "headers", I would imagine that is a distinct possibility. Did see a broken nose on one of the USA players.
