Can Mexico get through with two 0-0 draws and one 1-0 victory? Announcers have said no team has ever advanced by scoring just once in group play. 25 minutes left and they just need to hold on. On the other hand, if Croatia scores, Croatia moves on and Mexico goes home. Could be great finish.

As I've said before, I believe the US will win a World Cup before the much prophecised (and seemingly delayed) African breakthrough, but that doesn't mean that they're going to win of course. T

After the 2010 WC, I predicted that it would be Germany and Brazil in the finals of the 2014 WC. I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. FWIW, here are the groups. We definitely have the m

LOL, and they just score two goals in a row. :-D

Never mind! Mexico rattled off 2 goals. Croatia needs to score 3 in the remaining 15 minutes now. Considering they've only threatened a couple times all match, looks like it's Brazil & Mexico moving on from Group A.

Good game, if you're a Mexico fan.

Damn Mexico scoring like crazy. Keep scoring like this and they can win the group over Brazil?!??! Possible?

Netherlands - Brazil would not have been a good opening match in the bracket! For a moment, Mexico and Brazil had the same 4 goal differential, but Brazil scored late and Mexico gave up their first of the tourney. Woulda coulda shoulda, but that might've gone Mexico's way in a fluke ending.

[quote name="JetFan1983" url="/t/73308/2014-fifa-world-cup-thread/480#post_1009836"] Good stuff. He probably should have been subbed out.

Bradley? Disagree. They knew Besler and Dempsey were injury risks, and Jermaine Jones was gimpy in the second half as well. No way they were taking Bradley out.[/quote] I don't want to question klinsmann because he knows way more than I do about this game, but in retrospect I probably would have left Dempsey in. Everyone was tired at the end, but Bradley in particular looked exhausted.

Random note:

I am loving the coverage being provided by ESPN for this World Cup.  I remember as a kid (80's/90's) watching the World Cup with my dad on Univision (we are NOT bilingual) because the nutball American stations cut away during the action for commercial breaks.  (Univision announcers, even if they aren't named Andres Cantor, are still exciting as hell to listen to, though)

And even in the last couple of decades, as the coverage improved somewhat, it still seemed to be lacking, but now I think they are spot on.  The announcers have all been great, and my favorite show is the "ESPN FC" show each night.  They show extended highlights of each game with original audio so you can basically watch all of the games you missed while at work and feel like you didn't miss anything important.

Yeah I absolutely love "World Cup Tonight" I also like ESPNFC, great if you missed a part of the game instead of just a brief highlight, along with announcer commentary which is great.

Interesting - just read that if the US advances out of its group and wins its first elimination game, they'll play on the 4th. How cool would that be?

Also they played on the 4th in the 1994 WC, in California. I'm guessing soccer is more popular now. Probably not by much, especially compared to the big three, but still.

If you're correct I'm glad I'm wrong. I love how that Italian player at the end closes his eyes while he sings the anthem.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 19, 1/19.  Finished work in time to spend 25 minutes hitting balls (hit 15) indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Usual focus.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
