For sure. I also think that Lisandro Martinez is desperately unlucky not to be starting.
Day 14: Netherlands vs USA | Argentina vs Australia (Last 16 1&2)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Murica, feck yeah. Don't mind them beating the Dutch.
Took me about 2 minutes to get it
In a weird twist of fate I actually seem to want the US to win. Don’t know where it’s coming from.
Out of all the ro16 fixtures can see upsets in the US - Netherlands and Morocco - Spain games.
LVG ball is shite so I don't mind if the US wins this one.
Stupid caf clearly not supporting us today.
I'll fight all of you at the same time.
I'll fight all of you at the same time.
I want to beat them so bad. I have seen so many deluded and arrogant Americans who think they are going to go all the way.
And it's called Football!
And it's called Football!
You orange cnuts better beat those 'soccer' flag shaggers.
Then those are not “fans” but people who watch soccer once every 4 (or 8) years. I have not met or talked to a single engaged fan who has said or thinks that.
Nonsense, you're all the same, you Freedom fries, deep dish pizza eating yank cnuts! I got nothing
I think the US can win, Australia not so much.
US to win 1-0
Argentina to win 2-0
US to win 1-0
Argentina to win 2-0
You don't deserve your usename.
Deep dish is a caserole, not pizza you Dutch bastard. I also got nothing
I don't know. The Aussies are very fit and love being an underdog. If they manage to score first they will make it hard for Argentina.
You said soccer, you are one of them! One of them! One of them!
Edit: I have had a Chicago-style deep dish pizza, it's so good!
It looks amazing honestly.
In all seriousness, I'd say we're slight favourites, but no more than 60-40. On paper we have more quality, but unlike us you look like a team and work extremely hard. I'd blindly support you in this match if I were a neutral. But I'm not, so feck yous.
Netherlands and Argentina win please
If the games against Wales and Iran are any indication, the US will need to score in the 1st half to have any chance.
Supporting the USA all the way against the Dutch.
I want Netherlands to win but I dont want the **** to score
Soccer and football are both valid terms, and I would hope a country that has/had 245 different names for itself would appreciate this
. Also, deep dish is great, but calling something that requires a knife, fork, and Lipitor to eat is not pizza.This is also how I see it. My brain says 1-0 to you guys, but my deep dish casserole clogged heart says 1-0 for us (US?).
I think Depay and Gakpo are gonna be the difference this match. Can see a boring 1-1 draw in regulation and the US legs tire out in extra-time. But come on Yanks!
Depay has been absolutely rubbish so far. Gakpo will obviously open the score, as he does.
I am. I actually had Netherlands to win the tournament at the start of the World Cup as an outsider. Don’t think it will happen though. My favourites are France/Brazil
That's who he is then turns it up every now and then.
He is usually very good against poor opposition, but even against Qatar he was terrible. He needs confidence and form, but has neither.
I've never been less confident going in to a game were we are supposedly the favourite. Bleh.
BahahahahSoccer and football are both valid terms, and I would hope a country that has/had 245 different names for itself would appreciate this
This is also how I see it. My brain says 1-0 to you guys, but my deep dish casserole clogged heart says 1-0 for us (US?).
Irish man here and I call it soccer outside of Redcafe
This can't be from people who follow the sport.
We have a chance to win against the Netherlands but whoever wins will get crushed by Argentina.
Of all the Ro16 matches I do think USA has best chance for an upset.

It's called Association Football and for a good chunk of the previous century even the English called it soccer.
Nevertheless, go The Netherlands.
Don't care, not even Dutch.
Most boring team at the world cup, even the Swiss have been more exciting and that takes some doing.
Well, then, erm, yeah carry on, you're right.
Any word on how bad the flu was in the Dutch camp?

Zimmerman returns and Fereira starts at the #9
Womp womp
Weah against Blind will be interesting 
Dest is on that side as well and often pushes ahead of Weah. Will be interesting if he stays within himself as this has to be an emotional game for him.Weah against Blind will be interesting
So the flu rumors were BS?
