Title: World Cup 2014 Post by: Fau Teixeira on December 06, 2013, 12:48:09 pm The draw is in!
And group G is the group of death Germany Ghana USA Portugal boooooo for that gorup .. just boo. Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Phishfan on December 06, 2013, 01:49:21 pm It will be very tough for us to advance. It isn't impossible but it will be tough.
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Dave Gray on December 06, 2013, 01:51:56 pm How many teams advance?
It seems like Portugal and Germany are a given. Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Sunstroke on December 06, 2013, 02:34:42 pm I believe it is the top two teams in each group that advance, but my memory could be bad... Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Fau Teixeira on December 06, 2013, 03:01:53 pm 2 advance, i'd love to see USA and portugal advance .. F germany ...
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Phishfan on December 06, 2013, 03:12:45 pm Some people consider Portugal a team of one player. I think they are better than that though. Germany moving on is a lock. We have to beat out Portugal to get through. Ghana cannot be looked past though because they have beaten us in the last two World Cups. They are our first game so that is going to set the tone on how this tournament will develop.
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: CF DolFan on December 07, 2013, 07:19:12 am Portugal is our gateway to moving on but it won't be easy. I can't see Ghana beating us but they do have play the game.
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Guru-In-Vegas on December 07, 2013, 01:56:46 pm I think advancing for the US is very doable. Yes, this is the toughest group but I have Germany as 1 and US as 2.
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Phishfan on December 08, 2013, 11:46:11 am I can't see Ghana beating us I didn't see them beating us the last two times so it has me a little concerned this time. Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: CF DolFan on December 09, 2013, 10:02:58 am We are a better team now. We expect to win where in the past we just hoped to compete.
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Fau Teixeira on December 09, 2013, 10:16:18 am I expect us (Portugal) to run the table .. pick up 9 points out of the group
Realistically we'll lose to germany since we always lose to germany :( Beating ghana is a given and the US team this year is a bit overrated i think. Their ease of qualification was only helped by the epic mexico collapse and the ineptness of the rest of concacaf. Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Phishfan on December 09, 2013, 10:32:32 am I've got to ask about heritage given the use of "we". Were you born in Portugal?
Title: Re: World Cup 2014 Post by: Fau Teixeira on December 09, 2013, 10:47:10 am Yes, i'm portuguese by birth.
