I shall be cheering on the boys in the red, white, and blue...despite hating Jurgen Klinsmann and the USSF. Also, please, if you're a fan of the USA, please don't go spouting off to anyone, anywhere that we are going to win the World Cup. We are not. And unless Europe and South America fall off of the map, we never will.

The pitch looks like a desert with green spray paint.

Good luck, you're in a hell of a group.
Have you seen the pitch at Manaus?! Awful.
As an American soccer fan, you learn to set your expectations low! Give me the ever elusive win vs Ghana and I'll be good.

Everyone sticks a fiver into the pot then you randomly draw one of the 32 teams. If your team wins the world cup, you get the pot.
How I've played in the past, you randomly draw a country or 2 depending on the number of participants and if they win, you win.

For those interested, I've created a pick'em group for the World Cup on Yahoo!

I've just bought tickets in the office sweep, Uruguay, and Portugal in one and Algeria in the other I know which on has no chance.
At least I was alive last time England won it, have we a chance now, I think one of my sweep teams have a better chance.

When was the last time England won it?

The opening pageantry was both expensive-looking and amateurish, as if a high school drama squad had been given a multimilliondollar budget to put on a show...ents walking on stilts around a Hyperdelic Sphere....
There was a paraplegic wearing an exoskeleton who was supposed to do a ceremonial first kick at the game. They moved him to the opening ceremony and did a hell of a job burying him in there so most had no idea how significant that moment was.

I saw him for half a second and actually managed to guess correctly that it was someone in an exoskeleton doing the futbol equivalent of "throwing the opening pitch".
Well Red that is one more time than the US has won it. Btw I am the same age and I feel it. I have to blame my misspent youth.

This is the match that could be the big upset match of the entire Cup. I have money on a 2-2 draw!
