Social Timeline: Despite frustrating loss to the Germans, the USA advances in World Cup

Jermaine Jones

The US of A has advanced to the Knockout Stage of the 2014 World Cup. Let that sink in.


A very talented squad, Jurgen Klinsmann's men weren't given too much of a chance heading into the tournament but were able to advance out of the so-called, "Group of Death", one that included the German machine, the Portuguese hairdos and the Ghanaian tormentors. But we did it. Even with a defeat to Germany, we did it. 


Up next a match with the Belgium in the Knockout Stage. My live-tweeting will be filled with Dr. Evil references...so be prepared for that. For now, let's go back and take in all the fun from yesterday's defeat (yeah, you read that right) in this little ditty that I like to call, the Social Timeline.


Here goes.

Anytime I can throw in a, “for all the marbles,” I’m going to go ahead and do it.

Oh Clint. Keeper of my heart.

Wait…baseball? What? (SO AMERICA)

Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!

See what I did there? I was pretty pleased with myself.

Let’s. Do. This.

Yeah, we were doing this.

So much America all over the America place.

Probably my favorite movie line of all time.

Yeah we do/did/will continue to have.

Stud and muffin. All in one.

Keep it simple, stupid.

Djimi getting in on the fun.

And Chad. Short and to the point.

Portugal helped us out a bit there.

All square the break. That’s fine.

Then Germany scored…which was ok.

Pretty decent goal…no more of that, please.

OH YES. OHHHHHH YES.

Yeahhhhh I went there.

Then Ronaldo scored for Portugal. That really helped us out.

That would have been unreal. Just stop it.

AMERICA.

YEAH WE DID, AMERICA.

Yep! You tell ‘em Dylan.

Look how fun that tweet looks!

Yes Brad. Yes.

Yes Chad. Yes.

It warms my heart when Marcus tweets.

And a real fine-looking group of Americans.

DeAndre kills it. As per usual.

See you Tuesday, world.

Speaking of…until then.
