Soxbadger Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 WOW. The whole game it looked like Algeria was playing for a tie, they go on the offensive and give up a huge counter goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 USA has gotten this far before. But it will be one of the first times where in the round of 16 they may be a favorite to advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Made the semifinals in 1930 (of course there were a lot less teams) and made the quarters after beating Mexico in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Germany wins, don't we get to play Serbia or Australia anyway? Germany will have 6 points, and with their +3 goal differential, I doubt Serbia passes them up, they are at even 0. 1st tiebreaker is goal differential, not head-to-head (which is dumb if you ask me). I think the only way we face Germany is if they tie & SRB-AUS ends in a tie, or if AUS wins, or if Germany & Serbia both win, but Serbia drops a 5 or 6 spot on the Aussies.

Maybe I'm thinking ahead, but it'd be good to get rid of a really good team like Germany right now so they'd have a chance in the quarter finals.

They were in a weak group to begin with and group D has been pretty wild so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yeah USA got one of the most favorable draws, and could potentially have a great round of 16 match up. For all the b****ing about FIFA, the refs, etc., the US got huge breaks in how their group and draw may work. It doesnt really matter now, US wins the group and some one has to actually beat them. It would have been sad if the US didnt lose a game, but still had to go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if Germany wins Group D, then the USA couldn't face them until the Finals. If the US wins in Round 2, their QF opponent will be Uruguay/S. Korea. Thats a pretty good draw.

Soxbadger Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 There really are maybe 10 teams or less that are in a different class than the US. It appears that the US will not have to face any of them. Even Germany is a team that the US matches up with considerably better than a Spain, Brazil, Argentina or other teams who play a quicker Spanish style pace. US tends to give up a lot of fouls and set pieces against teams like that. Unbelievable turn of events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Actually, i'd prefer Serbia win to top the group and Germany/Ghana draw so we'd face Ghana in the second round. I want nothing to do with the Serbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The greatest player in US soccer history delivered when we needed it. US really played its best game of the tournametn so far though. We had tons of great opportunities, didn't finish and choked a bit, but I don't expect that to happen in our quarterfinal matchup. Altidore played like a stud for the most part, albeit he missed one. Dempsey is rock solid and will not miss those opportunities again. I personally prefer Hercules to Buddle but Buddle might be the better option as the starter because Gomez seems very comfortable coming off the bench where as Buddle was atrocious. f***ing awesome. Biggest goal in the history of US soccer right there!!! USA USA USA!!!! This win was huge for US soccer too because there is a good chance this will help us get the World Cup again in 2022.

I'm a noob to all of this. 8 years ago they faced Germany in the quarterfinals, lost in a heartbreaker where we outplayed the Germans but the German goal keeper was a tank. Prior to this team, I believe that team was the best team in US history (from a pure talent standpoint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
