    Fivethirtyeight.com gives us a 41% chance. However, that assumes a fully healthy squad. I hope Jozy can at least give us 30 next week.

    I'm not convinced that Jozy makes us better.  He has his moments and he did really well in the Netherlands, so I know he is capable of making a great contribution.  I think maybe his skillset doesn't exactly fit with the way the rest of the team plays... or maybe I just don't appreciate his contribution at times when he doesn't score.  I've thought that having him wear out defenders for the first 60-70 minutes, then subbing him out for someone with serious speed might be the best way to use him. 

    At this point, it seems to me that Brazil and Belgium are the two teams that are just not playing up to their potential as they are still playing as individuals.  We have to hope that Belgium doesn't put it together on Tuesday, just as Columbia is hoping the same when they play Brazil.

    If it wasn't for Brazil's 12th man(the goalpost) tthey'd be out. Too bad.

    Yep.

    And that was a bummer for El Tri. There were pictures of St. Memo going around before the Netherlands finally scored. When you are relying on your keeper that much, it is only a matter of time.
