Columbia Likes to Trash Talk, but Can They Really Beat Team USA?

    Lady Andrade is no fan of Team USA. She recently said in an interview that "they [Team USA] belittle us. They think we're a team they're going to walk all over and it will be an easy game for them." She then went on to predict that "[w]e're going to beat them since they like to talk so much."

    Those seem like some pretty strong fighting words for a team that is widely predicted to lose their match against the United States. Anything can happen at the World Cup, but guaranteeing a win against a team that is far and away better than you probably isn't the best idea in the world.

    I have no quarrels with Columbia, but I surely hope that Team USA shows them the door tonight. Trash talking is a given in professional sports, but it's always smart to trash talk when you know that you have the upper hand.

    Anything can happen in the elimination rounds, but I just don't think that Columbia has what it takes to beat Team USA. I have a feeling USA is going to come out with a vengeance after all the trash talk that Columbia has been doing and show them that it's better to stay quiet and play your game instead of making predictions that are hard to back up.

    I actually like the trash talk. Will make the USA win that much better. And if I was on the Columbia team, I would be doing the same thing. They're just trying to rise to the occasion, to show they aren't scared. Good for them. They'll lose either way though, I'm pretty certain of that.

    2-0 Team USA. They looked great last night.

    It's nice to see them playing so well after a lackluster first round. They played like the team I was expecting them to be last night. Hopefully they can keep it up!

    They really did look great. I was a tad afraid that they were going to run out of gas. But they didn't! Go team USA!
