Lots of own goals this year.
So far? Maybe ever. That was incredible! Keeper did the right thing and Van Persie still makes him pay. Maybe the Dutch have a shot at finally winning this year. Their win was incredible.Best goal so far...Robin Van Persie!
Some good stuff so far. Uruguay loss was unbelievable. Costa Rica didn't just win, they won the game outright. Missing Suarez hurt a lot. I don't know who is a bigger dark horse, Belgium or Switzerland. Belgium I think are being given a chance of winning it, so that would make the Swiss the dark dark horse. The Swiss scored on a brilliant last second counterattack after Ecuador blew a good chance of their own.
Ghana v US up next. I see the US winning this game, short of a ref fart like we saw in the Brazil game.

They won't have Pepe now.Did Pepe really deserve that red card?
The German player fouled Pepe, then acted like the victim, rolling on the ground in dramatic fashion. That head butt Pepe gave him was probably unintentional, and he got ejected for it? Yeesh.
That's it. That's the game. Portugal is not going to be able to come back from this. No way. This is bad for the US because we play Portugal next after Ghana, and they're going to be angry and looking for someone to take out their frustrations on.
I wouldn't say we are favorites because of any ridiculous FIFA ranking system. I just feel that the US team is in a different place right now. I think 4 to 6 points is possible.

I'm not one to say I told you so... oh wait... yes I am. Told you so! This is a team. It feels like '02 again.I think you are dreaming. 4 points would require a win and a tie. It would be a surprise if US can get more than 2 points (two ties).
I'm not worried about that. What matters is the team. An individual player doesn't make a team. These are all pretty good individual players. They need to put themselves into a circumstance that can lead to victory and then take advantage. Our chances of getting out of the group stage didn't hang on Donavon and they don't hang on Altidore.I hope Altidore is OK. Beating Germany or Portugal with Altidore will be hard enough, but without him? Yeesh. What a costly victory.
