World Cup 2014

Kind of a propos of nothing, but what a player Muntari is. That left foot is just lethal.

 

[notredomer23]

And this group just became a cluster fuck.

 

[greyhammer90]

As someone who hasn't had the chance to follow a ton so far, could someone explain the scoring and why we don't want the team we beat to win?

 

[STLDomer]

Well shit

 

[blueNDgold44]

What. A. Goal.

 

[Cackalacky]

Shhhiiiiitttt

 

[gkIrish]

I know I've been pessimistic about the US chances but it's time to man up. I hope Ghana wins. Beat fucking Portugal and this doesn't matter.

Fuck Germany

3points for a win
1point for a draw
0 for a loss

Top two point totals advance. If Ghana wins then three teams out of four will have 3 points. U$ has to win tomorrow regardless. It's just easier if Germany beats Ghana.

I'm sure this has been discussed already but is head-to-head one of the tiebreakers?

Fuck Germany

If Ghana wins, and then beats Portugal, they could advance even if we too beat Portugal.

Fuck Germany

Ghana beats Germany
US beats Portugal

USA 6
Germany 3
Ghana 3
Portugal 0

But what if then Germany beats USA and Ghana beats Portugal??

USA 6
Germany 6
Ghana 6
Portugal 0

And we could get fucked on goal differential possibly.

 

[IrishLax]

This group is insane. Ghana has played masterfully for two straight matches now.

 

[Cackalacky]

Germany looks woozy

Ghana beats Germany
US beats Portugal

USA 6
Germany 3
Ghana 3
Portugal 0

But what if then Germany beats USA and Ghana beats Portugal??

USA 6
Germany 6
Ghana 6
Portugal 0

I understand the scenarios. We win we will have a +2 goal differential at a minimum going into the last game so our chances would be really good. A lot of things would have to go wrong for us not to get in.

 

[Emcee77]

Holy hell. Ayew should have done better with that.

 

[STLDomer]

Old timers are coming on. Klose and Schweinsteiger. What a 15th career WC goal this would be for Klose

 

[Cackalacky]

Big boys on

 

[STLDomer]

KLOSE!!!!!!

 

[calvegas04]

There we go germany!

 

[gkIrish]

Well there it is lol. Great game

 

[IrishLax]

My god Klose is ageless....

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Schweini changes everything.

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

This is bananas

 

[Cackalacky]

Lol.

 

[Johannes]

SCHLAAAAND!!

 

[Cackalacky]

The German Wondo

 

[STLDomer]

Lol Schweinsteiger comes on and takes the corner and Klose finishes it. One minute on the pitch for both of them. That's a goal scoters goal.

EDIT: or was that Kroos

Old timers are coming on. Klose and Schweinsteiger. What a 15th career WC goal this would be for Klose

Yeah....

 

[greyhammer90]

[Emcee77]
