USA?
Horrible. F minus. We don’t deserve to move on, so it’s good we’re going home. Showed some spark against Italy, and yes, we had some really bad calls against us in both the Italy and Ghana games, but still - we sucked. End of story.
So, we’re almost down to 16… with a few fairly safe assumptions
Group A: Germany and Ecuador
Group B: England and Sweden
Group C: Argentina and Netherlands
Group D: Portugal and Mexico
Group E: Italy and Ghana
Group F: Assume Brazil and Australia
Group G: Assume Switzerland and Korea
Group H: Assume Spain and Ukraine
Ghana’s the big surprise so far… I picked Italy and Czech Republic to go through in E… Korea looks like they’ll be knocking France out from advancement, which is surprising (but welcome!)… Australia looks like they’ll be taking Croatia’s place as well. Good stuff going on.
