I'm kinda glad we lost to Germany

[Sutterkane]

Our side of the bracket is more favorable. Now, the other bracket has France, Germany, and Brazil.

Does this mean we have an easy path to the World Cup national championship series?**

 

[DerHntr]

Was thinking the same thing once brackets were finalized. It was nerve wracking to not control our own destiny by losing, but we definitely got the luck of the draw afterward.

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

Sure, but had we beaten Germany, the other side would have had Germany, Argentina, and Netherlands.

A loss will be good for us in the long run

Hey! It's not throwback Thursday!

Colombia is also on that side and they have been the most impressive team in the World Cup so far. James Rodriguez is a superstar.

We are the underdog against Belgium and we will be if we get to Argentina, but I would much rather play these two teams than any of the four on the other side of the bracket.

Agreed. I'm really impressed with James Rodriguez. He's the real deal and seems to have a great attitude. Loved it when he scored the second goal Saturday and immediately ran to the teammate who made the assist to give him credit.

I think Most impressive team in the tournament is stretching it, but they have been very good. France is the most impressive team up to this point. Rodriguez is a star though. The volley that he played off his chest for the goal against Uruguay was amazing.

I was thinking the same thing before the Germany game. I didn't want to see France nor have to play Brasil at home.

I had hoped that Mexico would have cleared out the Nether-regions. Messi is the best player but nobody else has really stepped up for Argentina.

But.... got to take care of business on tomorrow night. The Belgians may have been saving their firepower for now.

 

[121Josey]

I hear what you're saying, and Rodriguez has blown up, but it's not like Colombia has had a tough road to the Quarters.

 

[MSUDC11]

Based on how things have gone, don't be shocked if the Swiss give Argentina a really good game.

I'm definitely rooting for a Swiss upset, and Argentina has just been brutal outside of Messi so far.

That's great and all, but what's Argentina's 2018 class looking like? I hear there are some incredible 14 year olds to look out for.
