8 days out…

The posted “Road to the Final” map is a little simplistic. If we win our group there are technically 20 3rd place possibilities. Really though it’s unlikely that Germany or France finishes 3rd…. So we see what they did there… But it seems pretty fair that Canada, Switzerland, or Bosnia Herzegovina could finish third in B, right? This pic does not account for a lot of teams we may face if we the group…. Japan, Netherlands (ok, that’s a stretch), Senegal, and Austria could also be our match up…

So, who would you like to see if we finish top of D?

Who do you want if we finish 2nd? Is it possible Belgium finishes 2nd and we face them??? It’s likely a good chance here of a US and Iran elimination game if we both finish our groups in 2nd… Just…. Wow.

Finishing 3rd in our group means a loooong road. Hard not seeing Germany take their group….

Let’s hear your thoughts!!
