Said you'd be surprised if we got a point in group G...
Was a fair estimate. Still is.

Ghana outplayed the US. Portugal were way more poo than expected.

It's not insulting the US to say that their position is surprising. It's a super difficult group.

I personally wouldn't have been surprised with the US finishing 2nd, or not getting a point. Think it's fair for anyone to have expected any outcome between those two.

It's doesn't mean you think a team is bad when you expect them to lose to some of the(expected to be) best teams in the competition and a team that knocked them out two cups running.

All fair points.
 
Do people really not get that the Americans here are in on the jokes but at the same time care passionately about our national team? I know there is a duality at play here where we are partly taking the piss out of ourselves with the gifs but when the game starts, it's all business.

he I Believe I Can Campaign is both awful and incredibly awesome at the same time. I love it, its funny as hell to hear a crowd cheer it or Timmy to do it on the commerical. Its not life and death for us. We'll move on a good 2-3 days after we are eliminated (OR WHEN WE ARE WORLD CUP NATINAL CHAPIEENS!!). Its summer, the weather has been great and we are having fun.
