World Cup Match Thread Day 15 - Thursday

[tobi]

This referee hasn't started well.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

End to end stuff in the Portugal v Ghana game. It's all happening - or about to.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Nice move from the USA.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Both games very lively.

 

[LSUY]

Germany and Ghana please hurry up and score. If the US progress further than England in this World Cup I will never hear the end of it.

They deserve to progress. Think USA have been really impressive, England would probably be 2 down against this German side by now

You're being way too generous.

England would've been 2 down against Iran after 30 minutes.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Jones taken out by the ref.

 

[crokey]

He just ran into the ref... lol

Yeah.

I like this USA team. They all give 100%, work as a team and raise their game for the world cup. They're like the anti-England.

 

[DuDe]

Oh shit, Ghana score an own goal.

 

[yawa]

Oh shit, Ghana score an own goal.

Good. Reports of them refusing to play in the last game unless they got sent their appearance fees in cash has made me dislike them hugely.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Portugal one up now. OG.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Jesus, this Germany side is made up entirely of Bayern/Arsenal players bar 2 defenders.

 

[cwy21]

Great news for the US.

 

[tobi]

Jones had a running start and the referee didn't even flinch.

 

[LSUY]

Totally agree but I don't want to be surrounded by gloating Americans. July 4th, Battle of New Orleans, 'you'd be talking German if it weren't for us' is bad enough. They'll be unbearable if they think they're superior at 'soccer'.

 

[Shadydan]

Both games very lively.

This is the best group of the World Cup, it's all been attacking football.

 

[cookiemonster]

The Ghana defence is all over the place

Can see the Portuguese get the goals they need if the US loses

Especially if the Ghanians start to chase the game in the 2nd half

 

[CosmicHotspur]

This half has flown by, games full of action never drag.
