[Coupé It]

he's making a case that Real Madrid wouldn't sign a player like Suarez who lacks class on the field (implying RM only signs class acts throughout their history).

Right that's what I was getting, he was saying Real Madrid are class acts.

I'm saying I think that's bull, for gods sake they have Pepe on the team, and kept him on the team after he kicked that player on the floor 4 times years ago lol. That's sort of a weak argument, Real would get Suarez without hesitation, even with the bite.

wait the game is on at 9? :x :x

East coast FTW

 

[AZwildcats]

I thought it was a noon kickoff? I'll be at work

 

[youngdoc]

With Watch ESPN I may be able to convince my boss to have it on in the background but the 9AM start definitely sucks

 

[tyonenine]

Game is in doubt after flooding in the city

 

[lyonbc1]

Yooooo those Ghana players though! [emoji]128553[/emoji][emoji]128553[/emoji] their FA sent Boateng and Muntari home for fighting w/ an official and verbally abusing the coach

 

[APLUS]

Refs apparently checking the pitch an hour before kickoff. I really hope they don't postpone this one.

My buddy that's in Recife said that US supporters are literally abandoning their cars and heading to the stadium on foot.

 

[IATT]

if the us/Germany game is postponed.. what happens with the Ghana/Portugal game?

 

[venom lyrix]

the game won't be postponed

 

[IATT]

the game won't be postponed

that would be great for the US if they get to see the result of the Ghana/Portugal game before there match with the germans

 

[APLUS]

the game won't be postponed

I don't think it will either. TalkSport is reporting that the pitch is not that bad. They're more worried about the safety of the supporters.

This weather will suit our boys much better than the Germans. I cannot wait for this to kickoff.

 

[venom lyrix]

FIFA announces in Rio that USA-GER will kick off on schedule. No postponement.

 

[APLUS]

UPDATE: TalkSport reports USA v. Germany match WILL go on.

weak AF especially since this is his 3rd time taking a bite out of his competition...  anyways looking forward to todays matches!!! my thoughts

Germany 3 US 1

Ghana 2 Portugal 1

 

[venom lyrix]

Agent @RichardMotzkin tells ESPN US team family/friends have decided not to attempt trip to stadium. Too treacherous.
