Don't know if anyone has been reading the NT USA forum, so I'll post here.

It's our final match in the Group stage of the World Cup. A win here will make us the group winners! A draw would slot us into second place in the group, and qualify us for the knockout round as well.

If we should happen to lose, we still might qualify depending on our goal differential, and Eesti's if they should beat Portugal. If they lose to or draw with Portugal, we qualify no matter the result of our match.

Everybody's healthy, but we've got one sitting due to a red card, and three sitting due to form. We'll still present a Grade A lineup, and I'm expecting us to do very well. Lietuva is ranked #5 to our #20, so a good result here after last week's draw with Eesti might start opening some eyes.

Match is at 11:00 Sokker time, so you'll have to get up early to see it live!

Great match. I enjoyed it. Good to win a game with a man down for most of it.

An excellent match for us. The 4-2 win gives us the Group win!!

I didn't expect them to play with the winger, so that put lots of pressure on our 4 man back line, but Cox held up pretty well though. Morgan's red card in the 17th left us with a big hole that really hurt on offense. Madsen is simply amazing.

Looks like we'll face off against Brazil in the first round of knockout play. They played a different formation in each of their Group matches, so this will be a difficult match to prepare for.

Something to remember for my team here!!!! Cox and Madsen came from my Youth School, and i guess you had no choice to play Greer in bad form, as Ritch was out on Red Card.

^_^( i will try to watch the game later!!)

Slovensko is our draw, and it looks like a pretty good one for us. They have a very similar team to our own.

thats probably the best possible draw we could have gotten ;)
