dbadefense1990 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So the USMNT is in Group G, with Germany, Ghana and Portugal.Yep, we're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Freakin' Ghana, as well as Germany and Portugal.Whoever said Mexico would end up with the easier group was dead on. Of course Brazil will be difficult, but Croatia and Cameroon? Yeah, they're getting through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbadefense1990 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What a freaking gift Mexico got. Of course they're moving on to the playoff stage with those jokers, Cameroon and Croatia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Uruguay, Costa Rica, England and Italy in Group D. USA will have a tough time getting out of Group G with Germany and Portugal to contend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Definitely not an easy group for the USMNT, but set up for some redemption against Ghana and Germany.

-kj Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Croatia and Cameroon are far from "jokers". Plus Mexico has to play Brazil. That's not an easy group. As for the US: THAT HASN'T GONE WELL. Worst travel schedule as well, according to this article about the crazy travel inequities. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Seadragon76 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It's a group of nightmares for the Americans. Each of these teams have either knocked them out in the Knockout round or have embarrassed them in the group stage.One team that is laughing their way to the bank is Argentina. Having the Group of Cupcakes is the best thing any team can ask for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Mexico had trouble with Honduras and Costa Rica. Croatia and Cameroon are better than them.

Funky Bunky Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Well, if the US ever wants to go far in the World Cup, they'll have to beat a bunch of good teams. If they were to get an easier group, they still would've met a good team in the round of 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFB Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm having visions of Cristiano Ronaldo turning, flying down the right flank... He receives the ball, looks up, and the lone defender between him and the United States goal is DaMarcus Beasley. Someone hold me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 There's no doubt that the US fell into a terrible position. Mexico may get more favorable travel, but those teams they have to play are solid; no walk in the park there. Sometimes when it comes to this board I have to shake my head when you guys post about soccer. Hush up, road cone. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Saintsfan Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ok first off, the FIFA seedings are strange today the least. No one has any real confidence in the FIFA rankings, no disrespect but Belgium, and especially Switzerland as seeds? C'mon. The knockout rounds are going to be a minefield. That being said, when you are the USA, you're almost bound to get a tricky draw. That's part of the deal with not being seeded. So don't, please don't, announce every four years, that you are in The group of death. And FWIW England's isn't much better. Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica. Ah well, at least no one in England will be getting optimistic! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Nobody called the 2010 group a group of death. I mean, c'mon... England was in it. This time, though? Wowzer.
