u mad?

suck it up... at least we can claim we have won something meaningful on our history... you by the other hand sometimes even fail to win in Concacaf and are fathered by the US

Been invited to Copa America since 1993 and still have failed to win one... now you're celebrating a 3rd place vs. us on a game that we don't give a about?

Uruguay just beat a team they were supposed to on a match that matters... no upsets there

Both of these teams suck. They are lucky France was a mess and was even worse and S Africa was in their group.

rascal you fail when commenting about basketball and now it seems you're failing even harder when talking about football

So the new mr. know it all disagrees with EVERY ing specialist in the world that is praising Uruguay.... only a Fox Sports Mexican based claimed before the match that the only way Uruguay could beat Mexico was beating them up... guess what we were the better team by far and our group was probably the second toughest of them all...

So keep your mouth shut and follow the rookie logic... read more post less and you'll eventually learn something to be able to at least post without getting owned

yea if uruguay didnt care about the 3rd place game in Copa America than mexico didnt give a about yesterday's game, they let you guys have it because we wanted the rematch vs argentina because of 06'

and mexico might not have won a copa america yet in the six times theyve participated, but 2 second place finishes and 3 third place finishes aint too shabby son...especially considering the shady officiating mexico receives from conmebol not just in copa america but in other compe ions like libertadores and the sudamericana.

not to mention the fact that uruguay hasnt done jack in recent WCs and now youre boasting about making it into the Round of 16, something Mexico has done like 8 straight WCs...but keep on hanging onto the two WC les from the 1930s and 40s like all Uruguayans do and keep on believing your still some elite team when in reality youre just another middle of the pack team like Mexico

History is History.

Something you did yesterday has the same ing value of something done in 1950.

The facts are still the same, Mexico is still a loser that hasn't won anything.

[FkLA]

noone's trying to discredit their les even if they are from a century ago...

all thats being said is that currently you are on the same level as mexico, you are no longer elite. so its foolish to act all high and mighty and call the mexican nt scrubs--or are you actually going to try to argue that uruguay is a world power in soccer because of those two les like so many of your countrymen do?

I can act all high and mighty because of our history... I have to back up the tude'... you by the other hand... should just still keep it low profile and avoid mentioning 2nd and 3rd places as accomplishments....

There will be a semifinalist out of these 4 teams: Uruguay, South Korea, USA and Ghana.

lol Germany, I would have scored an own goal in the last second to finish second.

England's probable path to ultimate victory:

Round of 16: vs Germany
Quarterfinals: vs Argentina
Semifinals: vs Spain
Finals: vs Brazil

Exactly how lucky do you feel?

Disclaimer: Notice I said probable. I'm just saying this is a very possible scenario.

'course we're not in that much better shape

Round of 16: vs Mexico
Quarterfinals: vs Germany or England
Semifinals: vs Spain
Finals: vs Brazil

Ofcourse, these are worst case scenarios.

Worst case scenario. Could've easily been the US down that path

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Brazil's worst case scenario:

Round of 16: vs Spain
Quarterfinals: vs Holland
Semifinals: vs Uruguay
Finals: vs Arg/Ger

IMO that's probably the worst Brazil could get, which isn't that easy to be honest.

[Muser]

The USA have quite an easy path compared to others.

[tlongII]

The thing is England can beat all of those teams. I'm not saying they definitely will, but they're certainly capable.

Any of the big teams is "capable" of beating anyone. This England team however, not so much with the winning. No offense Muser Anyway, we'll see how things turn out.

, I'm not even sure we're getting past Mexico on Sunday. Fingers crossed.

[Muser]

None taken, if England play like I know they can then we have a small chance. I'm not expecting us to win with that gauntlet but it's not impossible.

Btw, official congrats to your 3 Lions--I doubted them, and they made me look foolish today on another message board, i'll have you know lol

Muser, hang tough man, Rooney will wake up, I know it.

[Muser]

Rooney played well today, if it wasn't for the fingertips of the GK he would of scored. Just hoping his ankle is alright after he pulled up.

[ElNono]

Rooney was the least of the problems. That defense however, it's going to have to get quicker and more dynamic, the way the offense did with quick and tiny Dafoe in there.

Good luck against Germany in the next game. I think they look very beatable these days. Ghana should have scored 3 on them if they were 10% more soccer savvy.
