World Cup

I know most of you probably don't follow Houston Dynamo soccer, but Brad Davis is a starting today. He is the "star" for the Dynamo as a midfielder. He also is excellent at corner kicks.

Are all Dynamo games televised? Like a New Year's Resolution...I'm gonna make a concerted effort to start following MLS. Might become a Dynamo fan...or a Sounders fan...who knows.

ESPN3...has apparently crashed. Now...we riot.

I'm not terribly worked up. A 0-0 tie is good for everybody.

Good news is Portugal is up 1-0 and if that result holds it wont matter if we lose.

The Dynamo are in on that terrible CSN Houston debacle so not really. But MLS just struck a deal with ESPN that will make every game available on ESPN 3 next year.

to have travelled more miles inside of Brazil than any other side, to have to play Germany with 24 hours less rest and to have been placed in the Group of Death....one hell of a accomplishment....now anything can happen

Can't say for sure since I haven't seen them play...but they do have lots of top Euro talent.

Don't know about y'all but I will have this on loop all day

Belgium has elite talent on the field. Thibaut Courtois is a top-5 keeper in the world. Kompany is a top 5 center back in the world and Eden Hazard is a dynamic attacking midfielder who can win a game by himself.

Their weakness is that, like Germany, they play 4 center backs across the back line so they aren't as athletic there. They have an above average midfield, I like Axel Witsel a lot, but I'm not sure how much I like the rest.

Romelu Lukaku is their x factor. He was incredible in the EPL this season but he's looked like trash so far in the World Cup. If he's off his game, they're beatable.





There's a chance we can play Algeria though. Root against Belgium today.

We lose but in the end we advance? Soccer is a great but strange sport. I take back all the horrible things I said about the Germans.
