A couple of pieces of good injury news for the U.S. today:

It looks like Jozy will play vs England. https://soccernet.espn.go.com/world...t-jozy-altidore-healthy-opener?cc=5901&ver=us

Personally, I've never really liked soccer. Let me rephrase that, I've never liked soccer state side. Now in other countries like Brasil for example, it's awesome! To me it's played completely different. Now I don't really care for soccer but hell, it's the damn World Cup and I will be keeping up with it. I love how passionate the fans are. It's simply amazing.

Oh snap, I didn't hear that. IC is not going to exceed expectations.


I'm feeling good about US vs England. It's been 60 years since we beat them in WC. I'll be wearing my USMNT jersey all day Saturday.

I don't have a USMNT jersey yet, but come the 18th of June I might just go buy a dark blue.

Go Uruguay!!!

 

[Nate505]

Go Uruguay!!!

Hee hee! Look at this country! "You are gay."

Actually I'll be rooting for them tomorrow. Although for me it's more accurate to say that I root against countries, in this case France. I know I'm supposed to root for Mexico since they are a Concacaf country and it means more spots for Concacaf, but damnit, I just can't do it. Go South Africa.

The great thing about the World Cup in this country is that it's the one huge event that I can go to work during and not hear any of the results, unless I'm dumb enough to listen to sports radio. And even then it's a 50/50 shot.

These draws have been awesome!

So far, so good. S Africa - Mexico was a good game. France - Uruguay was better than I expected. I am giddy for US - England tomorrow. Argentina - Nigeria before that should be a good one.
