Thank you for your response.

1) I responded to an OP that was posted in the wrong forum.
2) Get over it. It's a Dumb & Dumber quote.
3) I will give you no insight or opinion on soccer, FIFA, or groups, because I have none.
I'm just a dude trying to talk football on a football forum.
Francis.

Unfortunately, the one being built here did partially last week and a few people died.

The only positive out of this is i believe we play Germany

last. It's possible that they could already be ensured of advancing by that point and rest a bit against us. Maybe we can steal a point somehow...

He's so fast and lethal on the counter and our back line has

a lot of youth and inexperience. They've been pretty up and down throughout qualifying, fortunately we didn't face many strikers in CONCACAF that could really exploit that and finish.
The biggest positive is that Portugal has traditionally played pretty conservative football and CR7 has never been quite as dangerous with the national team as with RM.

Germany 22 vs 11 and wear them down in a 2-front match. Snow and terrible cold may also help.

To be honest, I'm not a big soccer buff, but I'm really excited for the World Cup. Even though things don't look good for the US, I'm really happy they at least didn't draw Brasil and likely won't play them at any point in the tournament.
Should be pretty exciting though, can't wait for next summer.
