I want Ghana and the US in the 1/8 finals. But it ain´t gonna happen. The Czechs and the Azurros will make it through. Italy is a top favorite for the Cup, so it´ll be pretty hard for the US team.
K-Town (Kaiserslautern) is located near lots of US bases, and the stadium is expected to be full of "Amis". Maybe the "12th man" will help your boys. I hope so.
Michael, your German team looks tough to beat as well..
We shall see :-)
