World Cup Friendlies Thread

I don't think that's true. At the very least, I'm quite sure that Chile backs us over Argentina.

Well there's five minutes of my life I'll never get back.

 

To back up TVOR's point, South Florida, where my grandparents lived until they passed, is a god awful place where this time of year through September, almost every single day as the day shifts to evening, quick torrential downpours break out usually bringing lightning. They come, they go but they are darn near a sure thing. There are a lot of other places in the US, to say nothing of the world, where you can get hot and humid conditions with a greatly reduced chance of rain...like say slightly further north in Jacksonville where the USA was playing Nigeria at about the same time without any lightning delay. I think someone threw a bone to Beckham on this game, trying to stimulate the notoriously indifferent Miami soccer audience where he fancies plunking an MLS team in the near future. His face at the point of postponement of gameplay was absolutely classic. It was as if it finally dawned on him at that moment exactly how much of a challenge starting a soccer team in Miami was going to be.

 

Naturally, I'm watching the final round of Group G related friendlies.
Germany beat their opponent 6-1
Ghana beat S. Korea 5-1
Portugal beat their opponent Ireland 6-1
USA beat Nigeria 2-1

This is going to be painful.

 

Whew!
