I hope you don't get England. They raped us and we play similar football. You'll stand much more chances against the rest.
Yeah I know.

It's a day when we won, let me brag for a while. Tomorrow I'll hope pray we don't get them.

Teams I'd hate to us face...eventually are England, Spain and France.

If we manage to make it out of the groups, I'd take on Serbia. Not just because I think we match up better against them than Ghana or Germany, but also because of SuboDICK. I want Jozy to school him.

That would be tough for the US. Not so much because we're that good but you can't imagine how much people hate you, especially here. It would add another level of aggression and passion on the pitch, which could easily reflect as your loss. It's how it usually goes.

Could you clarify, please.

Is that Andy on Juventuz or America in Serbia? :D

Yeah, I understand. But most of the world hates us anyway. Our players are used to it after playing in The Azteca, in Honduras, et cetera. Doesn't really matter to me nor our players. Hate us, go ahead.

US will make it and beat germany in the next round
I certainly hope so. Considering how the contrarian mentality has worked well thus far in this tournament, especially in our group, you could say there is a chance of that.

Btw, guys, did the Slovenians fall physically in the second half?

I didn't watch the match. I read some Slovenian papers these days and some were saying that Slovenia must start aggressively and take something in the first half, because undoubtedly the Americans will have more strength and energy in the last half an hour. Looking at the result that might be exactly what happened.

I know but I just say. It's not just a hate, I meant as how it adds an extra motivation.

It doesn't even matter, who knows if we'll go through anyway and who knows what happens.

Ehh, I'd say it was more down to desperation and will to get a result on our part, more so than fatigue. We have been through this before. We're used to being idiots for 45 and then having to struggle to survive. I think we just woke up and started to play our football, along with pressuring their defense into making mistakes.

Their defense doesn't seem that good on set pieces, nor when you take the game to them. That's how we finally broke them down, not because they were tired, IMO.

Yeah, they have a tall guy with long hair, who's like the worst and slowest defender ever. He made like 10 mistakes against Algeria.
Strange to see that they lost it this way. I expected them to give you the ball from minute one and wait for their chance. This time it went the other way around it seems. They took the initiative and then they failed in what's their biggest strength, organized, disciplined defense.
