What is really irking me

Is that we could have made the semi-finals at this world cup.

We could have beaten the USA.

Then it would have been Uruguay or South Korea who I think we could beat...then it would have been the Semi-Finals.

It really pisses me off because we are such a better team than Ghana and we don't get a chance to show that we deserve to get that 2022 World Cup...now the USA is likely to get to the Semi Final and they may give it to them.

Anyway...if only we didn't have a genius as a coach, we'd be playing tomorrow night.

Don't be daft. The USA are a long way ahead of us on the pitch, and the Uruguay side of this WC is not the same one we defeated in 2005.

But Ghana are the biggest frauds going. 2 penalty kicks and you're in the second round. Faaaark off.

They're not not far ahead. We'd be a decent shot at beating them if we played like we did against Serbia.

Uruguay though, IMO are better than in 2005. They could even win this.

Ghana shouldn't be there, can't say that enough.

As others have said, Uruguay are on absolute f*cking fire. The form team of the tournament behind Argentina and the Netherlands imo.

Netherlands haven't impressed me to be honest. But I agree that Uruguay can win this thing. Second best team atm after Argentina imo.

FFS...how are we not on par with the USA.

They can't even beat Slovenia...and only just beat Algeria...please.

And Uruguay...who have they played? France, South Africa and Mexico...come on...hardly powerhouses. We could have looked like Maradona in that group..it was pissweak.

I agree we we could beat the USA but dont underestimate Uruguay they are a very good team regardless of their opposition.

Agree they are. They have world class players led by Forlan.

But we could compete with them. Especially if we play like we did vs Serbia.

They may beat us, but it wouldn't be a 4-0 scoreline. And i'd rather we lost in the Qtr Finals vs Uruguay rather than not get past group stage when we should have.

I said Uruguay could win it a couple of weeks before it started, then promptly drew them in office sweep. :lol:

I also think Chile are a big chance. Brazil v Chile is going to be the game of the tournament.

I think Brazil v Chile will be awesome as well.

ALso think that Portugal vs Spain may have a bit of fire in it.

We would never beat Uruguay, they are looking very strong. Have only conceded 1 goal in the whole tournament so far.

I'm glad Ghana beat America, f**king pretenders and arrogant ones at that.
I read a sports site that I usually read for NFL/College ball and had to endure the patriotic self absorbed American bullsh*t.
That it was fate, that they were going to be in the Semis, that they should easily beat Ghana and actually fancied their chances against the likes of Holland or Brazil!

The Americana region is hosting the World Cup in 2014, there's no way they'll host 2022 ahead of us especially considering they hosted it in 94.
