Blue squids...I love your optimism!


Are you seriously entertaining the idea Of Team USA being a top 5 soccer power after beating Ghana by a goal?


Gotta love the optimism.

Yeah, I'm optimistic and it's too early to tell...but I like how they are playing....it's the details I notice in their game. If they can put down Portugal and show a respectable effort against Germany they will have the confidence for a couple more upsets.
It's fun to speculate, But I'd say they are a better side than 3/4 of the teams playing....I can't believe at this level some of the sloppy play I'm witnessing.

I'm sorry but we looked sloppy we won yes but not with any grace... The next game will be rough no offensive fire power with the injuries... I hope for the best and will be watching.

Today the USA played another awesome game. One where they had to come back against one of the top Teams in the world and actually dominated for long spells. We continue to get better and gain respect. Hope you all watched the game because you should all be very proud of the USA national mens team. We are in 2nd place in our group and have a game against Germany on Thursday morning. The top two teams move on to the round of 16. I do belive that in the not so far future the USA will be one of the best teams in the world. GO USA, GO USA, GO USA!

Heartbreaker goal in last seconds. But, credit where credit is due, they scored an awesomely executed goal to avoid the loss

Yes, it was indeed heart-breaking. I still feel it now everytime I think about it I was starting to countdown from 59 seconds. At 40 seconds left I was saying to my wife, common USA, only more seconds ... then the big NOOO came ...
Comparing to the game they play against Ghana, they play much better this game against Portugal. They gave up less possessions and had more control of the game. If the US can play the same or better, I think they can advance the next 1-2 rounds. However, they need to work on their defense, cuz their defensive skills suck lol. The first goal by Portugal was clearly the US defender mistake which caused the US a score. But on the bright side, that goal did made the US to play more offensively and came back. The US was one of the teams with the worst defensive skills in this tournament in my opinion.
Reguardless, my heart go out to them and they have my full support no matter what.
