I'm also leaning toward this the more I digest the draw. Overall, we are Group of Death, but I'd rather face Ghana and Portugal than the Dutch and Chile, or England and Italy in the other tough groups. I think we can beat Ghana because our mental game is improving and they are not more talented than us, and I just don't think highly of Portugal. It will be very tough but we do have a chance.The worst thing is the travel, we have the most remote and northern cities and a game (maybe the pivotal game against Portugal) in the middle of the freaking rain forest.Originally posted by minernole:
We'll beat Ghana and beat/draw Portugal, and make it through.
Chile will advance over the Netherlands.
It's called "luck of the draw". Or in FIFA language, corruption.Originally posted by rdbarks10:
How does Mexico get a better group then us?

Corruption. They just changed the USA/Portugal game to 3 hours earlier due to "heat concerns". Why didn't they make that time-change for that match prior to the 2 teams being announced? It's pretty obvious heat favors USA in that match.Originally posted by Formerly Rockymtnole:
Question - the more i pay attention to international soccer, the more it sounds like the ultimate corrupt good ol' boys club, on par with the IOC. Is that a fair perception? Do teams outside traditional powers get screwed over or do they get a fair shake?
