Watch the Match
USA, Germany, and Greece. Greece...eh idk how they'll do but I like their persistence. How about you? :)
Nice :)I can't name all the players for I am more familiar with the woman's team but yes, Dempsey is one. I'm not familiar with the other names though. I like the way Zusi works as an outside midfielder. He makes dangerous runs and has excellent foot skills. Dempsey makes good runs as a forward and during today's game against Portugal, he had I believe at least 2 almost breakaways because of that. Bradley is a good center midfielder I think. He's got a good eye. Howard is a strong keeper, he's very agile and quick. And I think on defense, Beasley impresses me the most. He's good with keeping the midfield pushed up when necessary. Though Cameron made a lazy mistake that was a result of a goal, I think he came back from it well and won many balls that would've proven tough to win. He applied good back pressure to Rolando as well.
There is also DeAndre Yedlin who is a young (20) defender but with his speed he will sprint to the attacking side of the field and create real good chances, he did that with the US team which then led to a goal (for US). So Jozy Altidore was brought for the team but got injured with a pulled hamstring. And no Landon Donvan Is not player nor is Friedel. But Landon is helping with the comentary team, they talk with him at half time. And Clint Dempsey is the caption so he kinda has to play. USA is my team so I know most of the players. :D
Donovan is in Los Angles, I thought it was super funny only in the sense that at Dicks, his t-shirt for the world cup went for $70 and then when he was cut from the world cup team, it was $20 XD I died. Honestly, I don't think Ronaldo is that good of a player. Same with Messi. Theyre both very selfish with the ball most of the time and I think that hurts the team more than it helps. There was one opportunity Ronaldo could have given his teammate but he held onto the ball instead and lost it to Cameron. It just really bothered me.
:)Due to my academics, I didn't get to watch any MLS this year. I've been watching since I was...maybe 9? I'm not for sure. But right now, I'd probably be actually playing more soccer than watching it but I fractured my ankle so I've got free time. I'm 15 years of age :)
Nice :) my club coach shoves me in anywhere he needs but I prefer defensive center mid, yes. My school coach though puts me at left center mid. Do you play?
Aww, that's depressing :( I hairline fractured my ankle....this is not good signs. I do love my soccer :)
Omg, did you guys see the USA v. Germany game? Ughhhhh USA! Sooo close!! Their offense lacked if you ask me. Germany had superb possession though.

Just try and stop me from watching! I'd like to see Germany v Holland in the final. Not sure about Holland getting through tonight - they've tailed off a bit. But Argentina haven't been impressive in this tournament, and that's crazy considering their attacking talent: Messi - potentially the greatest forward of all time (too young to properly appreciate Pele and Maradona, sorry!) Di Maria (unfortunately injured for tonight), Higuain, Lavezzi. An embarrassment of attacking riches!
I'm going for Germany cus the USA almost beat them and if Germany wins then the USA almost beat the world champs... what about you Regan and you to Abhay?
Germany because they're a good team. Plus my bro loves them. Damn right he predicted right about who's in the finals, and semis.. The kid just started loving football and he's just 9! :o
:D I want Germany. I feel like no one player has been talked about over and over and over again. They've played as a team and have exceptional possession. They have a solid style of play. AND my dad wants them to lose, so that's just another reason why I want them to win >.>Haha, same! I want to go to McDonald's and buy like, 5,000 orders of fries because of that Fifa Ole Ole thing or whatever, where you can win that ticket to go see the final match.
Lol nice Regan. Ya you have a good point Ozil does not get talked about that much and like you were saying they don't have one great star player that everyone talks about. Plus they kinda seem like the underdogs is this situation. I am totally going for Germany. I think my Brothers are going for Argentina because of Messi and that is another reason I want them to win. also to show Messi that he can be beat. :-D
Yes!!! Everyone I've talked to outside of goodreads says they want Argentina because of Messi. I asked my one friend to name any player from Argentina besides Messi and they couldn't.
I could name 3 more players and I know that's still not really knowing the team. I just don't like how people root for Argentina just because they have Messi. Same with Portugal and Ronaldo. :)
"Best team vs Best player" I'd like to see the whole team win, so Germany... Though I'm still shaken by the fact they beat brazil pretty bad :/
I am a mad Liverpool fan and some bandwagoner said that he went for them so I told him to name anyone other than Gerrard or Suarez and he couldn't then his friend.another bandwagoner said Torres XD
