I gotta say looking at the Dutch home again though the badge is nice as fukk. And the font used for the name and numbers is nice.

Dutch kit swagged out.

Stam should come out of retirement to rock it/give them some hope at the back.

 

[dennis roadman]

i've always hated the dutch kits tbf

my cousin is dutch and a designer so i love when i genuinely hate their kits, i can troll so hard

always been a fan of the french and english kits

Dutch kit is clean. Real clean. I echo the sentiment about Dutch kits being hot since 98. The only dutch jersey I haven't liked since 98 was their home kit for WC2006.

Stewart Robson seems to hate Wenger . he does the same "Wenger has got to go"routine everytime march comes around. And thats after praising Wenger(and arsenal) at some point before that.

 

[Liu Kang]

So Diego Costa actually wore the Brazil jersey but has the right to (and will) play for Spain because it was a friendly. What kind of shameless move is that ?!

SMH

Manaus: Hot, humid and distant from everywhere, no one wanted to play in Manaus. England manager Roy Hodgson had the guts to say it in public and was rewarded with a late-afternoon match versus Italy there. The USMNT will face Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the Amazonian capital -- a 3 p.m. kickoff time.

Natal: Its design supposedly resembles the surrounding burning-hot dunes. The USMNT will try to defeat Ghana there for the first time in their history after losses in each of the past two World Cups.

Recife: "Playing here at 4 p.m. was inhuman," said Spain's Sergio Busquets after a Confederations Cup match in June 2013. The USMNT will also enjoy that privilege, facing Germany at an even hotter kickoff time: 1 p.m.


I think we're at a heat advantage against Portugal (slightly) and Germany (greatly), Ghana about the same. But US's performance against Honduras = massive question mark

Meola vs Keller vs Friedel

best goalie competition ever?

Michallik: I was in the last group cut and it was emotional because my father had played professionally in Europe and football was everything in my life, the World Cup meant more to me than the other American-born players. I was cut after a run on the beach. Bora always had problems communicating properly. Even more so in this moment. I had been at Mission Viejo from Day 1. I had given up the chance to play in England to stay with the U.S. team and chase my World Cup dream. He just told me I would not be part of the squad. It took me a long time to get over this, to be truthful. I was devastated. I kept training for weeks on the slight off chance there would be an injury and I would get my chance. The hope was unrealistic but you cling onto hope. I honestly trained harder on my own than I ever had. The pain still lingers. It still haunts me to this day. It still hurts me and I don't understand why.
