I think the US has a shot. Granted Portugal doesn't beat us and then Ghana.

Round of 32 could be tough if we come in second in the group.

But if we happen to win it, you gotta like our chances.

First place from our bracket would get a crack at North Korea or Russia, most likely.

Second place gets a look at Belgium or North Korea likely.

Either way, we got a good look at advancing past that point in my opinion to the round of 16.

Coming in second, and having to play a France, Argentina, Italy, Uruguay, or Switzerland is a tough look. Regardless of side.

Not a bad gig, but your bracketology is bit off. We're in the so-called "Round of 32" right now. Advancing past the group stage is the round of 16, and winning the match with Belgium/N-Korea/Russia would send the US to the Quarterfinals.

Good to see the foreign analysts on espn think we qualify today because they have been fairly critical and more realistic of the USA than a lot

Thx for the corrections.

I did this quickly from my iPad minus the espn shot of it.

(I didn't count the slots.)

My point was, one more win past this one, and shit will get real.

It'll be big boy soccer then.

150k in US tickets? 20plus k again on hand? Those are the numbers I heard?? If true thats the single biggest accomplishment in US soccer history... The rest of the world will take notice and everything follows the money from there... Just my thoughts

Not sure what Portugal is doing on defense. They are playing too far up and allowing us to go over the top. If they keep this up we are going to score a couple goals.
