Always the favorite, never an underdog, no matter where they play, no matter who they play. Quote Germany – Ohio State: Tradition of excellence and supremacy. Will dominate until paired against other excellent teams. :lol2: :lol2: Title: Re: A World Cup guide for college football fans Post by: Catch Prothro on June 15, 2014, 08:01:55 AM Quote England – Notre Dame: Great tradition, great fans. Should be good. A lot of people hope they are good. They are no good.

Some years better than others, but always a very tough team to play against. Also, prone to caring as much about their appearance as the game itself.

Quote Portugal – Texas A&M: A really good team that highly depends on the brilliance of one player who is amazing on the field and amazingly frustrating off of it, and without whom they would be an average team.

Title: Re: A World Cup guide for college football fans Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 15, 2014, 11:08:07 PM This is an absolute-on-the-money breakdown and comparison of World Cup teams & college football programs. Love the Ohio State/Germany and England/Notre Dame comparisons. They nailed it perfectly. Great stuff!

According to the comparison chart: Quote Ghana – Michigan State: A reputable competitor that will be a tough game for any team facing them. Quote United States – West Virginia: They sound better on paper than they really are. Teams that have to play them give them respect, and quietly rejoice that they do not have to play someone else. WV v. MSU, that's definitely an underdog role. Title: Re: A World Cup guide for college football fans Post by: Catch Prothro on June 17, 2014, 07:03:14 AM Team USA beat Ghana yesterday, 2-1, on a late goal. :clap:
Maybe we're the WV of the RichRod era? Next up is Portugal, which lost to Germany 4-0. Germany shut down their superstar. Title: Re: A World Cup guide for college football fans Post by: 2Stater on June 17, 2014, 07:27:23 AM Looks like WVU vs TAMU.
