WC 2014 2nd round Belgium vs. USA

[seahawk10]

Altidore is training and should be ready to go.

Not sure I would put him back in though, if he tweaks the hammy then you have wasted a sub.

If the USA wins the country will go nuts...

[Flyingkiwi]

If the USA wins the country will go take that you slimy A-rab Belgian bastards!

Fixed that bit for you.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Think the St8s will win this. Not been impressed with Belgium at all.

[Handsome Man]

America must have a chance here. 18/5 for a win in 90 minutes seems good value.

Why?

[Pepe the Horseman]

I don't understand the question.

If Belgium play anywhere near there potential the Yanks haven't got a hope.

2 - 0 Belgium for me.

[Libertine]

And almost everyone said we had no hope to get out of Group G before those games were played also...

[stealthpapes]

All of my predictions have been awful so I shall not jinx this.

[Starfish]

I will be 100% for Belgium in this. Used to live there. Had sex with natives - yes, all of them, and I am watching it in a Flemish household tonight.

1-0 for Belgium.

From the admittedly little I've seen of Belgium so far they've been as boring as fcuk. USA can't score.

So it'll either be a goal-fest or the worst game of the second round.

Outside of the Germany game we scored 4 goals in two games. With Altidore back it frees up Dempsey to play in the #10 role and it allows Bradley to drop deeper where he is far more effective. While Altidore won't put the fear of God in any defense his hold up play, a la Heskey, is vital to the US offense...and on the international stage he does chip in some goals.

Not saying the US will definitely win this but I expect they will give a good accounting of themselves and it should be a very entertaining game for the neutrals to watch.

[Ouroboros]

'Greed lib, looking forward to this one and hopeful that USA can make a real contest of it. They've got the spirit to cause an upset.

[tulip]

For me it's about who will be most able to knock out the Argies (probably neither). I will make my decision during the game.

You can have sex with me Starfish, that should at least get us to PK's.

Great stuff. Keep us updated.
