I don't think you know how irony works.
Gosh, i'm being absurd. Because absurd is fun.

Do you know how post-irony works? As in something beyond stances of irony and sincerity? An oscillation between the two opposing poles of irony and sincerity, that is also a movement beyond either.

You just blew my mind and I'm being totally post-ironic.

I hope Italy meets USA in the round of 16 and we beat them.
:lol: :howler: This isn't basketball or Lacrosse.

I think the irony herein lies in your belief that the US will finish anything but bottom of their group (don't resort to FIFA rankings to dispute or refute my argument).

Moreover, it is impossible for Italy to meet the US in the Round of 16. IF, and that is indeed a big if, you guys make it out of your group, you are likely to face Belgium or Russia.

Lacrosse is a Canadian sport.

Anywho, it all about the first game. If we beat Ghana and get the three points, we have a great chance of moving on. If not, we're out. Simple as that.

I wouldn't quite call it a 'great' chance, because on paper Germany and Portugal would be expected to both beat the US and Ghana. You might well be looking for a favour from Ghana, most likely against Portugal. In any other group I'd agree, winning the first game statistically gives a strong chance of going through.
