1. I doubt he will be out.2. If he is, this will be a sure sign that we blow it.

A crunching tackle from Jermaine Jones might do the trick. He's due a yellow card.
Eventually Spain's reign had to end. But, good lord, it ends horribly.
... just like a Dwyane Wade or Kobe Bryant when your tournament runs add up to nearly another full season of competition that mind and body will break down.
I think it was Xabi Alonso who was quoted as saying they didn't find the necessary desire to enter a tournament with a winning mentality. No shock considering they've ruled the world for the last half decade and go down as arguably the greatest national team era in history.
Holy Ticos. Mighty impressive showing thus far.
But the key to us winning is Bradley playing like he normally does. That was the worst performance out of him I can remember.
The announcers I listened to were bashing him for a bad game.England done. Thank you Costa Rica.
Ghana-Germany ended in a tie. I'm fine with that because not only does it not let Germany feel uncomfortable with their situation it allows Ghana to wait on pins and needles for Sunday AND it gives the US the confidence to shut Portugal down and advance.I'm wary of Portugal's prowess. If they do end up beating the US, I'd rather it be 1-0 than 3-0. After the Germany debacle, they have some making up to do and they are fully capable of doing so.
I am beyond nervous about this game. Today's Germany outcome not good in my opinion. If we win Sunday, then all is good. If we draw, things get a lot tougher. If we lose....ugh. I think a totally different Portugal team shows up.
