I hope the heat/humidity doesn't severely impact performance. And maybe the massive transit strikes won't happen.

I was invited to Sao Paulo later this month for a trade show. I considered going just to catch a match or two. But then I worried it would be a travel clusterfuck because they have the world cup underway and tens of thousands of people flying in for a convention.

If the US can get over on Ghana, they just might be able to eek out two draws from there with a puncher's chance of a win against Portugal. Stranger things have happened. Germany may not need a win by the 3rd game.

Germany's in rough shape. Not feeling too hopeless about this one. Still no fucking chance though.
Why oh why must my favorite teams be the US and England? |

If Ronaldo is a wheel down somewhat, that might be enough. Outside of him the teams are level.

England is to international football as the Maple Leafs are to the National Hockey League.

Well said, I usually compare them to Notre Dame in american college football, or really at this point the Dallas Buttfucking Cowboys

ultimately they are a very pedestrian team that's got a huge fan base and hyped beyond all evidence to the contrary
and they haven't accomplished anything in a LONG time so it's just this bewildering fan based media catering perpetual hype machine i hope in 15 years i can say that about the lakers, it would make me ready to die |

i think you're right. i believe even in england the football supporters have come to their senses. (it took a couple of huge disappointments, but they're finally there.)
in belgium, people are getting all hype-y now. this is the kind of news we normally get from the netherlands, so this is quite strange. i don't think it's as mental as the orange craze of the dutch, but still. if belgium does quite well, we might still reach that state. i think there's still a big chance belgium won't get very far. so that might end in a big disappointment for the enthusiastic belgian fans. oh well. that'll teach 'em. |

What are the chances of the US getting out of their group? 10%?

I'd say that's fair, and England certainly has a good team but not in the top tier like Mayfuck, Luke, and sleeper.
