Mexico owns Brazil, but Argentina will somehow kick us out whenever we play them in the second stage.

Mexico owns Brazil??

Let's all laugh at Rangers wrote:It's Italy, us or Uruguay, Costa Rica. And Uruguay are in their own continent and will cope better with the heat, and better with Costa Rica who will also cope better with the heat. I'll be pleased if we go through, put it that way.

Uruguay dont have a chance, but its true the climate will be difficult for europeans, even if its winter here at the time or the world cup.

Beat Ghana and then take a draw? I wouldn't say its likely but its possible.

Australia sucks. They are a free 3 points for the rest of the group. Group G is the toughest because USA was the best team coming out of the pot. We won't be favored in any of the games, but nobody was hoping to draw USA out of pot C.

Youth team results against Brazil don't matter. There is no way Mexico is winning an away match against Brazil. I do think they will make it out of that group though.

Even with that scenario they'd need help.

yeah, i hope Argentina kicks them out of the World Cup, just to see Messi hugging Ronaldo at the end of the match.

Toronto FC may be adding Jermain Defoe and Michael Bradley.

Bradley is in his prime, why would he come back to mls now?

He's got 6.5 million reasons. He's been moved down to 5th on the depth chart at Roma, so he has to go somewhere to get playing time. I don't know why he doesn't go to the EPL. Jermaine Jones is leaving Schalke too, they say he's too expensive for MLS, no idea where he'll end up.

Yeah, Bradley has always seemed perfectly suited to the English game. Never understood why he didnt get a chance at Villa. Bradley(and Dempsey for that matter) always struck me as the kind of guy that would just play in Europe until he retired. Shows what I know.
