Ultimately, I understand that the English have come to their senses about the prospects of their actual team, I still fully believe that english fans believe they should be much better than they actually are.

fortunately the NBA doesn't have an equivalency. Celtics and Lakers have all been relevant and won titles within the last 10 years.

*Eulogy will be here shortly to contend that because ND was in a title game within the last 5 years and this is unfair. I however contend that because the title game for college football is determined primarily by the media (2/3rds of the vote, the other third is indeed a computer which rated ND highly) that ND did not get there entirely based on merit and the media/fan hype factory contributed significantly to the appearance in the national title game that they, by the evidence of the final score of that game, had no business being in.
I don't disagree with much of what you say here, but they were 12-0 and undefeated teams are almost always hugely overrated. Their schedule wasn't soft either.

They have to lock down Ronaldo to one goal and hope to slide through by tying Germany. Could happen but it's pretty fucking grim no matter what.

no expectation = no disappointment


that's why you Yanks should take each game as it comes, and not worry too much about that little Portuguese fuck

I don't know one leaf fan that that actually thinks the leafs will win. They just like watching games and hope they can get to the playoffs.

Brazil has got a cool national anthem, the entire place went 2nd verse on it. How do they not win it this year?

ultimately that's not true

the cup will be won by one of the cup winning countries.

anything can happen but it usually doesn't.

And this game will be tainted because that was a really, really bad dive.
