And so we begin

Portugal, Ghana, and Germany three perfect opponents for the US to open the 2014 WC against.  

Ghana was the only team to defeat the US MNT in 2010 and needed overtime to do it. They surprised us last time but not this time. Revenge for 2010 will be sweet. 

I suppose if we have to play Germany it is nice to have a coach who knows them better then anyone else. I like our chances here. I may be wrong but I don't think it ever gets warmer in Germany than the coldest day in Brazil. Germany will have 60 minutes to win the game but the final 30 minutes will be ours. 

I expect Portugal to be Portugal populated by lots of very skilled, very able players who will underperform and leave their fans wondering why the land of port wine and corks never seems to produce like their neighbors do. Portugal may advance but it will be at Germany's expense not the US.
