Everything is “globalist” these days. Even the sacred cow NFL has foreign players in it.
I’ll be watching the match with more than casual interest, obviously rooting for the US Sort of a hobby has been capturing action shots from these events, hopefully there will be some good ones to record (including American goals ;) It’s been tough to find a lot worthwhile IMO more than bloody head-knocks & inci[sor]dental contact.
A narrow Portugal win, plus a blow out against the USA will send the USA home. The combined goal differential of the two games, however, has to equal six.
You're correct about the Portugal-Ghana draw. If that happens, the USA could lose by any number and it wouldn't matter.
where can I watch live stream on computer?????Can’t get Youtube.
In a nutshell.
They’ve had like 2 feet of ran in Recife in the last 24 hours. The city’s flooded, access to the stadium is hazardous, the pitch is a mess, and it’s still raining. If they play the match at all then a tie might well be the most likely outcome.
There’s a definitely chance. Germany really doesn’t care about this match, they’re advancing to the knockout round pretty much regardless (if they lose by a LOT they could be out, but that’s not going to happen). We advance on a draw or a win also, and could even advance on a loss if Portugal wins depending on margins. Now the winner of the group gets a better matchup in the first round, but that matchup isn’t really worth the risk, especially not for us, because both teams advance on a draw there’s a really good chance of both teams playing it safe. Especially if the field is bad, nobody wants star players hurt trying to win a game they didn’t need to.
Germany is still the prohibitive favorite. I went to the German-US game in DC, which the US won, 4-3. It was the German C team. The difference in talent is enormous. But miracles happen. I just hope for a close defeat and a narrow win by Portugal.
It appears the Germans are starting their A-team against the USA.
Note the "Don't Tread on Me" flag. I can't tell you how many soccer games I've seen this along with the Gadsden flag.

Lots of commentary on how Germany and USA could just play defensive game and go our with 0-0 draw so both advance. But there was one article I read that I believe sums up why that won’t happen..PRIDE. Germans are not going to play a half-assed game just to statistically qualify for the next round. They’re going to go all out and play hard.
They’re not playing for a draw that’s for certain!
Aggressive game from both sides, Germany obviously more in control, but I think the weather could work in USAs favor as it makes the touch play more difficult.
Still 0-0 in Portgual-Ghana game
It sounds like the USA is starting to play better (can only listen to it right now).
The fact that soccer is a leftist plot should be spread far and wide.
