True that.
At least The Netherlands took care of business today.
I would love to see Netherlands vs. Brazil.
Argentina vs. Germany is going to be an incredible match.
And we've got a massive match coming up with Spain vs. Portugal.

Here are my picks:

Rd 16
Brazil smokes Chili (that match starts an hour from now)
Paraguay beats Japan
Spain beats Portugal on penalty kicks

Quarters
Uruguay beats Ghana
Netherlands beats Brazil (hey I can hope)
Argentina decimates Germany
Spain crushes Paraguay

Semis
Netherlands beats Uruguay
Argentina beats Spain

Final
Netherlands beats Argentina

I know I know it's a pipe dream to see the Netherlands make it but it's time for the Orange to win their first big one

Was that something about a pipe dream and the Netherlands?
 
Question for the soccer fans. Does it bother you that you don't know when games are going to end? I mean, at the end of the US game, no one had any idea when the game would end. Do you like that, or do you dislike that?

I'm ok with it. You know the ref is going to give one team a last chance at a run. That's basically what it comes down to and not necessarily time.
 
1 striker makes more sense anyway as the US haven't ever really had a legit one so the less we have on the field the better. Our midfield is our strength anyway. I wonder how young Bradley will play with Dad gone.

I like it a lot. It adds a ton to the intensity of the last few minutes. If you're behind you're begging that the ref will not blow the whistle yet and if you're ahead you're begging that the ref will hurry up and blow the whistle.

1 striker - quite possibly. It would go against what has been done the last 4 years but based on our personnel it's not a bad idea. Heck we could even go to a 4-6 and probably be better off.

I don't think Bradley's going to get fired. He did a lot better job with the MNT than Bruce Arena did by far. I know there's the spector of Juergen Klinnsman hanging out there but Bradley really has done a remarkable job with what he's had and he's learning just like everybody else and I wouldn't be disappointed if he got more time on the job.
