Dodged a bullet there.

Nice, I predicted England as number one in the poule, and America as the runners up. Haven't seen live tables yet but this is the current situation, right?

Fuck!

In the grand scheme of things, this matters little anyway. Would be great if Germany would be runners up.

The U.S. deserved the win and the right to advance after being jobbed again and again by the refs.

I'm tired of hearing of teams "deserving to win." If you miss wide open rebounds and continue to blow chances, you don't deserve shit. Even if you outplay a team and out-shoot them by 100, if you don't convert then too bad for you.

The US did have some bad calls go against them but they were also lucky that England had a shit keeper that let one in. If it weren't for that the whole story would be different.

lol, England are fucked if they even make it out of the group, they may have to play Germany in the first round and if they beat them, then possibly Argentina. Talk about an historical mindfuck.

Serbia will beat Australia and make it to the next round.

well, as long as you're sure
