We look to actually have a pretty winnable draw to the semis. Ghana first, and then the winner of South Korea and Uruguay. But we're most likely looking at Brazil or Spain in the semis if we make it there.

that video gave me goosebumps

ghana will be your nightmare,and if you get past them you have the guile of uruguay or the none stop running of the koreans.......so make the most of the success you already have

USA 2 - 1 Ghana

You really have something against us, don't you?

Germany is taking out England, the score will be 2 - 0

i'm a realist,since i saw ghana play brazil off the pitch at the last world cup i've rated them alot....and they should have had 4 against the germans

these are huge occassions between england and germany,they have a largely inexperienced team....where englands players have been involved in many such games....that will count for alot

and you don't give us any credit at all. We're ranked higher than both Ghana and Uruguay and were a bad call away from two wins and a draw rather than the reverse.

You're giving credit for the accomplishments of these other teams, but not giving any of ours any respect.

I know what we're up against... but my point stands. We're in a much more winnable part of the draw than England

 

[skyblue]

as it goes,that ranking thing is total B/S......ghana got they're ranking by beating the likes of nigeria,algeria and the ivory coast....uruguay got they'res by beating the likes of argentina and brazil.........america got they'res by beating the likes of canada and haiti

*facepalm*

Are there really people out there who haven't yet realised that the football work ranking is the most pointless, useless, inaccurate ranking system in the world?
Spain, before the start of the World Cup had an almost perfect record in the 2 years previously but for some reason are ranked below Brazil who haven't been as good.
Portugal third? Croatia 10th? Yeah, that means a real lot!
