Will all you woofers stop trying to jinx our team, please?

The USA sucks and expectations are too adolescent and we will lose this
game. Probably 2-0.

Please, even the Czech B team scored 4 against us. 6-1, with Donovan
getting an embarrassing consolation penalty in the 88th minute.

I would not expect anything else from cheerleaders on both sides who
should make no pretense to objectivity, let alone a firm grasp of
reality.

I rather wonder if something like chanting "The Gulf of Mexico" will
be a motivation to the players. The big question is though: to whom
will it be a huge motivation?

Shots of mental adrenaline may well be the deciding factor, apart from
putting on the mask to get gulps of oxygen to combat the effects of
high altitude.

Are you kidding. USA 2-0 up by the half. Then England to crumble
under the pressure, Rooney gets sent off for punching a linesman in
the mouth. It all goes to hell in a handbag in the second. The US to
win by 4. Actually, given the overwhelming crowd support, make it 5.
Fully expect "USA USA USA" to drown out the vuvuzelas.

Sid, would love a draw (can they both get -1?)
