How did USA beat this team?!?!
>>155184124Don't worry about it.
>>155184124Typical blatant rigging for the host
>>155184124They seem very inconsistent.
>>155184124Honestly, this is about the most coherent football I've seen burgers play and Paraguay were lethargic. Depending ont he draw, I see a potential WF for USMNT.
>>155184124Easy, the USA team dressed as paraguayan players which confused the paraguayan team.
>>155184164If you watched the game you would think different. The skill on display was shocking coming from USA.
>>155184124Roids
>>155184214Thanks Nigel
>>155184239For example the passing before the last goal. Yea, Paraguay had given up, but it demonstrated a decent level of skill across the team. Better than say Korea in 2002.
>>155184214I don't think they can beat Spain. Then again, we haven't seen Spain in this tournament yet so who knows?
>>155184124there's a non-zero (quite a bit higher than zero in fact) chance that the wc is rigged in favour of usathat's just the way the sport is these days
>>155184381We would love to play Spain or Portugal, those are the sort of elite teams we would match up well against since their defenders arent the greatest and the midfields are technical but defensively mid. The elite teams that would destroy us are the top Ngubu teams like France England (chokers but you have to respect the talent) and Brazil or mentality monsters like Argentina Morocco and Croatia. I think you can put us up against Netherlands Round 2 or Belgium or even Germany and the games will now be slightly more even 40/60 matchup with us as underdogs but favorable home advantage.
>>155184420You have it backwards I thinkWe would match up better vs the ngubu teams because we're very physical and fast and press all game.The technical teams would fucking murder us
>>155184420Youre fucking crazy. The only top team I would give ourselves a chance against is England and that's only because we have this weird mental thing with them where they play like shit vs us.
>>155184390>these daysthe 2002 WC was 24 years ago now
I don't know, at what point do we start to entertain the idea that CONMEBOL is just shit nowadays?
>>155184588That one was always weird to me because it was really obviously rigged for SK, but not for Japan who were also hosting
>>155184124If you watched the game you'd know.US played a phenomenal game but much of the game's fault lies with Paraguay.They constantly lost the ball on their own side of the field, couldn't mount a single attack and the defense was absolutely worthless, failing to both block the ball and properly clearly it whenever they miraculously did.They legitimately looked drugged, probably went in expecting an easy game vs US and seemed shocked once they started getting overrun. Brazil vs Germany levels of clownery.
Tick tock, thirdies
>>155184420As a neutral observer I agree with this>>155184472I also agree with this
they were looking like the globetrotters in the first half. A lot of great passing. The best I have ever seen them look, but I only watch WC. They used to look like the equivalent of shooting 3s all game. turns out all we needed were more ooga boogas and less bald and ginger faggots
>>155184214I predict they'll go as far as Spain, and then get defeated by them.
>>155184472>We would match up better vs the ngubu teams because we're very physical and fast and press all game.Absolutely not. France have world class ballers up front, every forward of theirs is a top 10 ballon d'or fucking candidate, we arent stopping a team of Ngubus who can match us on physicality but actually have talent to hurt our goal easily.
>>155184390This game will comfirm once and for all how rigged this shit is.Knockout game during the American Independence Day in the city the Declaration of Independence was written. Just watch when its the US vs England
>>155184239It was the same in the Brazil world cup in which the legendary 7-1 happened. Brazil was in their weakest form, yet they got rigged through it, straight to the semi-finals, because they were the host.You would have expected them to learn their lesson and to not rig weak teams into a position where they will get exposed hard... but here we are.
>>155184850Im just enjoying the ride. It would be very comfy to play a knockout match on July 4th
>>155184606Because SK is racist (as everybody should be), and would have thrown a fit if they don't get special treatment in their home and did their best to make it so.Meanwhile Japan is an occupied country with a humiliation fetish.
>>155184694That's the weirdest prediction i have seen so far.Portugal is in a succession crisis and Germany stuck in a delusion where they believe that they would still be good, while getting fucked in the group stage of every tournament of the last decade.
>>155184886vs England
>>155184588football is apparently rigged because Arsenal won the League, pay no heed to the Kiwi
>>155184925Pretty much this. We have arguably the best midfield out of everyone and a very competent goalie, but we're stuck with 7/10 defenders and attackers. We'll do at most quarterfinals, maybe semis if we're on a good run, but that's about it.
qualifying is different than the actual tournamentalso different parts of the world play differently, so eventhough on paper one should be better than the other its often not the case beauty of the world cupit was a very entertaining match to watch thanks amerifats
