Soxbadger Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 US beat their 2nd team in a friendly, and for today all the US has to do is play a solid game and walk away with a tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ghana kicked Boateng and Muntari off their team today. Players also threatened to start a mutiny after they didn't get their bonuses. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ghana-throws...-112044669.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 08:01 AM) Their first team just tied a team that the US beat. The US has EPL/Bundesliga caliber players playing in MLS. Just because they are in MLS doesn't mean they are worse. US did not outplay Ghana (we won but we weren't the better team that day; do we have excuses for why, sure, but point being, Ghana is a really good team) and Germany didn't play their big game. The Germans are an absolute monster of a force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US has EPL/Bundesliga caliber players playing in MLS. Just because they are in MLS doesn't mean they are worse. Aside from maybe Bradley and a couple of our goalies I don't think we have anyone who could suit up for the top 2 teams there, which is basically what their whole roster is, and the rest play for equally elite clubs. We could have players on lower table fodder but that's about it. (No I'm not counting Julian Green) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinilaw08 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Omar Gonzalez getting the start instead of Cameron... I don't mind Bard Davis for Bedoya, but Gonzalez has not been great lately (granted Cameron had two huge mistakes vs. Portugal, but he was a rock vs. Ghana). Conditions favor a sloppy, low scoring match. Get a point today, render the other match irrelevant, and let's start thinking about Belgium...

Soxbadger Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Id say its a really unlikely scenario that Germany wins by 2. As soon as they get a goal lead they should just pack it in seeing as a win or tie is the same to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
