DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) Drogba didn't score or get an assist, but the demeanor of the Elephants changed completely when he came in. They went from poor movement, and not taking any shots inside the box to attacking. Nerve racking, but good win.

56AceInDaPlace 110 Posted June 15, 2014 Im glad Costa Rica won. Its hard rooting for them at times. ( I'm Costa Rican ) I'm not a huge soccer fan but when the World Cup comes around i try to watch when i can. I root for CR or US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted June 15, 2014 Games have been great, not impressed with the last minute winners from Colombia and Switzerland as both had cost me money. France look real, they took an absolute battering from Honduras and still win 3-0, Benzema looks like the beast he is always touted to be and their all round flair is ridiculous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted June 16, 2014 France was also playing a man up for half of that game, and it was Honduras, I'm not that impressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradyFan81 404 Posted June 16, 2014 Yeah wasn't that impressed with France. Didn't do much of anything until one of Honduras' player got sent off. Also Argentina with a pretty lackluster performance. Expected much more from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 791 Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) And BradyFan, I say that exact thing about Cavani everytime. I don't watch him often, but when I do he never impresses. He must be amazing in Ligue 1 because I don't see what everyone raves about. Edited June 16, 2014 by Vin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oochymp 2,393 Posted June 16, 2014 I think that was the best possible result for the USA, now we need to take care of business this evening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 17, 2014 Not sure why Eissen and Boateng were both on the bench for Ghana. Especially Boateng. I understand Eissen with his health issues seeing as I saw him while he was in Chelsea get hurt all the time. Good win for USA though, these are the two teams I was hoping made it out of this group, Ghana made it really hard on themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJORN 679 Posted June 17, 2014 Seemed like we lost all confidence and chemistry when Altidore went off, definite game changer. Our passing was awful for a large part. Great result though! Thought Muntari was class for Ghana. Boateng among the subs was surely a joke lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted June 17, 2014 yeah, losing Altidore was huge, hopefully he's alright by Sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 791 Posted June 17, 2014 I dont know if you guys saw when ESPN kept showing the fan fests around America such as New York, Chicago, Bethlehem, PA...I was at the Bethlehem, PA fan fest! Such an awesome time. Atmosphere was great, placed was packed full of fans. We went crazy when they scored the winner haha. I definitely plan on doing it again for Sunday's match vs Portugal. Idk if you can see me in the footage probably not lol. I'll have to go and check the match again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 17, 2014 Ochoa playing amazing right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BradyFan81 404 Posted June 17, 2014 Awesome game. Mexico took it to them the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half, was really shocking. Ochoa was a brick wall too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bangy 19 Posted June 17, 2014 Mexico were outstanding against Brazil and fully deserved the draw, it's been a long time since a team gave Brazil that type of game and frustrated them that much. Ochoa had a hell of a game in goal too. This Russia vs South Korea game is amazing as well, SK are are causing Russia so many problems and their attacking movement is so exciting and free flowing.

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Spain isn't a high scoring team. they win games by a goal or 2 max. They won't recover from something like this. Their possession play ensures that they do not get scored on enough to negate it, But they are failng to keep possession this world cup. Thy're done.
