Mandatory 2014 Soccer worldcup thread!

@ Foul Ol Ron - was a joke about Gerrard. Unfortunately we do like to have a scapegoat! It's a traditional to have one unfortunately.

Anyhow, France played very well against the Swiss who also played well. Currently watching the Honduras match but it's getting too late now and I've finished my wine, although it does look like a good game

I'm like the master in missing goals... Seems like every time I lift my ass to go to kitchen or something, I hear the screams of excitement from the TV. I was watching the FRA-SUI game last night and saw two goals from France. Missed the third as it was lighting fast. Felt bad for the Swiss and thought France is just gonna put up a good defense and the Swiss will try to desperately break it. Shut the TV and of course... in the morning I see three more goals were scored!

 

At least saw the Costa Rica match and despite only one goal, it was nice to watch and feel the excitement of the underdog nation. Good work Costa Rica!

This happen always to my soccer-fan girlfriend. :megalol:

I saw that also, but I have a different mood :cry:

The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

I didn't know I'm such a football fan

 

OT/

 

Don't worry, It's really difficult to watch football while Selanne is still there to drive crazy NHL's defencemans (that are 20 or more years younger than him)... :beer:

I don't care for hockey either but maybe you're right... beer might have something to do with it! ;)

 

One of the problems with hockey is that I'm half Russian so you can imagine it creates an issue in social situations in a country mad about hockey.

Football is easier, both countries suck at it. :D

Spain being the World Cup Champion,

being the Nations Eurocup Champion,

a Spanish team being the Champions league winnner,

and also a Spanish team being the UEFA Cup winner...... not a single point has been won and i doubt that against Australia anything will be achieved because the players dont run, there is no energy, no hunger, no motivation. Its probably true that the players are burnt plus already a bit older than what would be the norm, but then they should have put a younger, hungrier, fresher team that havent won anything!!!

At least England had some fresh Young unexperienced players and they really tried, nothing to regret.

This World Cup is a disaster for Spain and a lot of shame has been felt!

Is it legal in Finland? :lookaround:

Here in Italy if don't know the last 5 years stats of that retired soccer player that was in that lower division small team (failed some years ago), you may risk social embargo. *

 

I'm half Russian...

 

In Russia is surely not legal to not care about hockey. :D

 

... so you can imagine it creates an issue in social situations in a country mad about hockey.

 

Ok, that could justify you. A bit.

well it's not really that crazy, not everywhere almost. I may know some people that doesn't even care of the World Cup... or I may not, I ask to my lawyer and I'll correct this post :D

 

But believe me when I say that ANY other sport here it's secondary (Formula 1 and Moto GP also). You can't find anyone transmitting the volley World League in TV, or NHL's finals in pay-Tv. You may find Basketball, if you have Sky... right cause they play a spot every 45 seconds. But, for example, no journal titled with Belinelli win in the NBA finals, and it's the first one in our nation history... the sports-journal preferred to say some comments about Italia-Costa Rica match preparation.

God I hate those idiots at BBC praising Germany all the time for the handover Portugal gave them, after the first goal of Ghana even the BBC site is choking and stopped updating.

Germany was losing for some time. Ghana were brilliant! Best game I have watched so far.

Phew, what a game! 2-2 looks like a good outcome for both teams, both could have turned the tide with a late goal. Well done, Ghana!

 

So it's Klinsmann vs Loew then, Master vs Disciple.

Loew needs to rethink his lineup imho, it always seems that he reacts instead of acting.

 

I don't know. The US played very strong in their first game, but I don't think they'll be a match for the German team. Then again, this Worldcup already held tons of surprises, and my predictions for the second round have been almost entirely wrong, so a surprise US victory over Germany shouldn't come as a surprise... errr... whatever. :)

Ghana is always tough. They play quite hard and Germany sometimes has problems with that. Great game.

And the two goals for Ghana... well at least one was German defense half asleep. I guess Loew will have a word or two with some guys to try and stop such things.

I am looking forward to USA vs Germany :-)

 

And did you see Iran play? Not the most beautiful game, but they sure were fighting great.

sorry I had to.

 

The OP had to use the word 'soccer' in the title. Otherwise the thread would have been filled with odd comments by confused Americans. ;)

This is the world cupp of football referees. All that goal line technology, some spray`s seem to serve us misleading while they make mistakes and steal regular goals. FIFA - Mafia :police:
