World Cup 2014

[damandred]

yeah, but why show where it hit the post, then say no goal. All it did was rile the Hondurus fans.

Just show the relevent footage.

[MasterAblar]

Oh, yeah that was stupid.

[WWWwombat]

Italy looked really good against England.

[damandred]

Germany v Portugal today's must see game, can't decide who I want to win. The Germans or the big head.

[MasterAblar]

Pepe is such an idiot...

[Barid Bel Medar]

Pepe is such an idiot...

 

Pretty much sums it up. 

 

Germany is on the ball, and Portugal will be none to happy Mueller took 2 of the 3 goals. (although good for my fantasy team :P) 

 

On last nights (or yesterday for most of you guys') games:

 

Benzema hatrick FTW! (I don't care, I didn't think that was an own goal. Much skill from the French, well played. Honduras managed a good 45 minutes, but fell apart with that unnecessary red.  

 

Switzerland Ecuador game was good, a fitting end for a cup game with the winner in injury time. 

 

Argentina perhaps taken unaware by the spirit of B&H, but Messi saves the day and looks like he may perform in this Cup. 

[Barid Bel Medar]

Mueller with the first official hatrick of the tournament with Germany at 4-0. Portugal have lost composure and are getting frustrated I think. Ronaldo may be one of the best in the world, but without the support he is nothing, and that's how Portugal have played so far. (and that idiot Pepe)

[damandred]

Germany looking strong swept Portugal away

[MasterAblar]

Great performance by Germany, but Portugal made it easier for them. Penalty, and a stupid red card, and that mistake by the keeper on the 4th. No more mistakes allowed for Portugal.

what a start by usa dempsy is still class

[Krakalakachkn]

w00t!!!

[WWWwombat]

Dempsey is the man.  Always has been.  We got outplayed for most of the game but kept plugging away and stole 3 points.

[Krakalakachkn]

I would say we were better durin the first half but our back line fell apart in the second.

[WWWwombat]

We had 41% possession >.<

[Krakalakachkn]

I don't find that indicative of much tbh. Not in our first match. Ghana didn't threaten too seriously in the first half, not considering what happened the past two world cups. We tried playing too much defense after the first minute and it cost us possession.

[Durinax]

I think Ghana probably should have won that match, but that's what happens when you can't put the ball on net

[SinisterDeath]

Wow... (was just watching the daily show, and he joked we won 6-0)

I thought the USA only had a 0.02% chance to win anything in this world cup?

While they're no where near being favorites, and have a hellish group with Germany, Portugal, and Ghana, they still had around a 30% chance to beat Ghana. If they can shut down Ronaldo (easier said than done) they may have a chance against Portugal. Germany though... Good luck with that.

[Red2111]

i think tbh that we're just  ahppy with finally beating Ghana after 2 years of them kicking our butts

why are they calling that group the group of death? In my opinion its one of the easier groups

If your Germany or Portugal it is.

[Suttree]

Well it was nice to get the win but Ghana really controlled the action. Not too excited about what those injuries will mean for our style of play as well. Looks like we will be forced to go that old ultra-defensive US style of play. Scintillating stuff.

[Barid Bel Medar]

Ahh. another unjust penalty. Not a dive fortunately, but he fell over on his own.. 

 

Algeria take the lead against Belgium. Vetonghen yellow card. 

[WWWwombat]

Clash of the non-French francophones

[Barid Bel Medar]

Nice win for Belgium. This will build their confidence and teamwork. They played well, but felt a bit disjointed at times, hopefully for them a win will settle them and smooth the way a bit. 

 

Decent work for Algeria to keep it at 2-1.
