The World Cup (3 Viewers)

[Cormcolash]

Both these teams are bad. Belgians don't really seem to give much of a fuck for some reason, whereas the Soccer Eagles seem to have lost the bit of zip they had particularly when they played Portugal

Fuuuck, fair play to the Yanks for making that a proper exciting ending.. That's three of the most entertaining games they've been involved in. Couple of promising young players there, they should continue to improve over the next few years.

Five of the eight second round games went to extra time, could be some knackered teams in the quarters.

Brazil v Colombia
Holland v Costa Rica
France v Germany
Argentina v Belgium

France v Germany looks especially tasty..

 

[Cormcolash]

Teams that have played shit grinding football:

Brazil
Holland
Germany
Belgium

I think I know who I want to win those 4 matches.

Colombia, Costa Rica, France and Belgium in the Semi-finals would be a hell of a thing.

Just finished watching USA vs Belgium or as I liked calling it Everton vs Everton while Fellani jogged around looking bored and not able to control a football.

15 saves by big Tim in that one, it's a record.

Amazing game of football an absolute joy to watch.

Watched the Swiss vs Argentina in a pub in trafalgar square surrounded by swiss folks. It was heartbreaking. Di Maria ! fucking hell. He's never played that badly in his career.

I don't think Matuidi can receive a retrospective ban as the ref gave him a yellow. It was a horror tackle. Although Kenny Cunningham doesn't agree.

I kind of agree with Cunningham there. It was a bad contact but the tackle itself was a bit of a nothing.

He got awful stick for his sliced Rabona cross. Never mind the fact that he does it all the time for Real and it usually comes off. Obviously more confident in his ability to cross it with that trick rather than swing at it with his right

^ what am I missing here?

 

[washingcattle]

Just a dejected lad missing out on a hummer I suppose. It was funnier in my head.

Ah, fair enough.

I'm sure they all beat the shit out of Wondolowski after the game.

He was "offside" so it wouldn't have counted anyway.

Much confusion.

Was that not a flag for goal kick?

BBC seemed to think it was for offside. He was 3 yards onside either way.

 

[Cormcolash]

Couldn't have been offside - pretty sure there was a defender playing him on right near where the linesman was, apart from the defender playing him on in the middle.

Here who was that team that played the offside trap in the Champions League against a free kick, where the whole defence ran up the pitch and caught about 6 players offside, but the goal was given, something like that?

Jesus, people have short memories. FUCK France

 

[Cormcolash]

This is true, I'll most likely want Germany to beat them anyway. Germany vs. The Argies would be a great match.

 

[CinnamonBoy]

Jesus, people have short memories. FUCK France

Absolutely. I was just throwing them in as an unfancied team compared to the Germans.

I was talking to a guy yesterday that used to love football but isn't bothered with it at all any more because of the amount of diving and rolling about that goes on. I can see where he's coming from.
