Well they are one of the 8 seeds, so obviously this guy's doing them a disservice.

quote:

Let's be realistic here. This Ghana team is inferior to the one in 2010. Read what the people who know are saying about it: they have more solid players, but they're all in midfield and attack. Their defense is a couple of notches below the one in 2010. And they can only field 4 or 5 mids. A better pool, with a worse distribution of talent, translates into a weaker team.

And we took the stronger 2010 Ghana to extra time. When our LB was Bornstein, a Chivas USA player. By comparison, now our LB is going to be either Johnson, or Beasley. Both from teams MUCH superior to Chivas USA.

I want this thought to sink in, and sink in well: Ghana 2010 > Ghana 2014, and USA 2010 < USA 2014. And we took them to extra-time in 2010. And we're supposed to have superior coaching this time around. Expecting a good result versus Ghana this time around is not irrational.

Now Portugal. They needed a play-off to qualify because they are a one-man team. Portugal 2014 is the _definition_ of a one-man team. Ronaldo doesn't show versus Sweden, they wouldn't be in Brazil. Portugal in 2002 had better players in more positions than this one. And they didn't even need a play-off, they qualified straight away. 2002 Portugal didn't lose a single match in the qualifying games! And guess who was in their group: NETHERLANDS! In 2002, Portugal beat Netherlands in the Netherlands, to win their group. This time they couldn't beat ISRAEL at home! Let that sink in, please.

This time around, Portugal is full of wingers and attacking mids. in 2002, they had Milan's Rui Costa and Benfica's Petit as the heart of their midfield. The guys who impose the rhythm, the guys at the root of creativity in their team. The guys who couldn't stop JOB (Ajax bencher) and Earnie Stewart (in NEC, one of the worst Eredivisie teams back then) from making passes to McBride and Donovan. Rui Costa and Petit, two guys head and shoulders above Caetano Veloso and Raul Meireles, the guys Portugal has now!

And we beat that Portuguese team that DANCED around the Dutch in their very own De Kuip stadium, and who were favored to make a run to at least semis in 2002. We beat them, with a team that was significantly WEAKER than what we have now. Our super-sub was Cobi Jones, a Galaxy player. A 2002 Los Angeles Galaxy player, back when the MLS was much weaker. Once again, let this sink: 2002 Portugal = 2014 Portugal, USA 2002 < USA 2010. And we beat them. With coaching that many here consider inferior: Bruce Arena.

Why aren't we expecting to get out of group? Why are we starting to say it's irrational to even expect it?
