If Messi was terrible, I'd love to know what he needs to do to be good in your eyes.

 

He wasn't terrible but he wasn't particularly good until that goal. He was dispossessed over and over and rarely looked a threat.

 

Anyways, this tournament has been awesome to watch, pretty much every single game too. I'm also 14-4 betting on it so that's nice as well :)

Messi seemed a little off, maybe trying to do too much with all the pressure on his shoulders. Wouldnt call him terrible.

 

He was also triple teamed once he got near the box.

Higuain's introduction helped him a lot. Created more space for him to work. Wouldn't have been able to score his goal without Higuain's run that drew two defenders away.

I like Germany more than Portugal, but a draw is the best outcome for the US.

I'm on the fence. Portugal winning would be the worst thing. A tie means only 2 points given out of a possible 3. But I'm cool for playing for second which means Portugal losing is best. I think they are probably closer to US and Ghana than to Germany (which says how good Germany is more than anything)

Disagree. Germany look to be the class of this group. I would expect them to win all three games comfortably. In the race for 2nd place it benefits the US if Portugal don't get anything here.

If you think the US has a chance to win the group, sure. Realistically though, Germany routing Portugal & Ghana is the best result for the US.

Agreed. The USA definitely wants a Germany blowout here.
