The Soccer Thread (Version 8)

Don't think it will be that ugly, but can't really see Mexico having a chance.

 

Portugal hasn't been the same since Pizzouza retired

 

I'll kill myself if Portugal doesn't win!

 

I hope Chile attack Portugal until they bleed from their eyes. God, I loathe that team.

 

This is the best post of the year.

 

England lost on penalties to a German team? Knock me over with a feather!

 

It's worth noting that Mexico and Portugal did meet in the group stage. Did they have ties? You bet! It was 2-2. As far as I can tell, neither Ariaga, Ariaga II or Bariaga were in the lineup.

 

Chile plays great soccer and has some incredible talent. But I just can't get past the overreactions and dives (the neck tattoos also).

 

I may have missed it in my lurking...by Chicago Fire/FC Cincy Weds. night on ESPN2 in the U.S. Open Cup.

 

I hate Ronaldo, but Portugal the team doesn't move the needle for me.

 

Watch them play enough. You'll want to stick that needle in your eye.

 

Fun match, and with the CWS not going three, it ended up on ESPN.

FCC drew 32k+ for the PK upset after surpassing 30k against Columbus last round.

With support like that, you have to think Cincinnati is surging up the list for an MLS call up.
