FIFA can't even clean up their own act, no wonder they're doing a lousy cleaning up football.
The US beat both Nigeria and Turkey by the same 2-1 margin and are now off to Brazil where they open against Ghana. Good luck to them.
I saw them as 3 and out with Landon Donovan and I see them as 3 and out without him. I'd love it if they prove me wrong, but I simply do not expect it. I still think that Klinsmann set this team up for 2018.Also, I think Team USA could actually win their group.....or they could get blown out like in 1998. Lots of questions around this team, and like others have said, this side will be much better in 2018 than this year.
I'm expecting to beat Ghana, draw with Portugal and lose to the Germans. Whether that is enough to advance??? Who knows.
I vote yes for when the competition begins tomorrow. Can someone think up a snazzy/witty title?Should we open a new thread for the WC?
Chinese fans have been buying fake sick notes so they could stay up all night watching matches, and stay home from work the next day.

Expired food has been found in hotels in Rio which are going to be hosting the English and Italian national teams.

The English MNT is in Miami to play a couple of friendliest before flying out to Brazil. Their first match is against Italy on the 14th.

O Jogo Bonito! Força Brasil!
If i am this nervous for the first game, i don't know how i will make it through the tournament! I loooooooove Marcelo, so that was tough to see him score on his own goal. Some of their defending made me really nervous, but i have faith they will get things together. Did anyone else catch Kaká and his son in the stands? So cute! I so wish i could be there in Brasil to celebrate. I so envy those of you who are!
And good job to Croatia for pressing til the last minute.
Have a great time in the islands, 4rkidz! Try some of the food cooked in the ground.
