The Beautiful Game - World Cup Chat

I beleive they are, this is probably due to them receiveing their 'pictures' from either FIFA or the host broadcaster, as opposed to actually them doing it themselves

Did I just see a tooth hit the pitch?

 

[tamotu99]

Well the Italy Uuruguay match is showing one very important point

Just how bad England were to lose to both of them

 

[Cesar R M]

impressive.. italy got eliminated by Uruguay

European team losing in South America, non shocker.

Camon the Sons of William, maybe their year, though I suspect the German machine may be the team to beat

Yeah, but still not happy.
Suarez was again his dirty self and did bite a defender.
This is his 4th incident regarding biting people.
He really should be banned for a year or so of soccer.

Someone needs to explain to him what play hungry means

Also, disappointing game for Japan.. they dominated hugely, kept slamming on the doorstep of Colombia.. but their finishing was G***FRE*** AWFUL!.

I'm surprised Greece, a team known for defense, upset the Ivory Coast today. But the bad giveaway on the first goal and the penalty call at the end was the Ivory Coast's own doing, I feel. As for the Suarez incident, well, Suarez fits the definition of a troll perfectly. You want to hate him so much for his biting, his racist language towards Patrice Evra and deliberate handball against Ghana four years ago but yet, his team still succeeds. Karma doesn't seem to exist for Uruguay. But by the looks of it, the end result only matters. Just because a team "deserves" to win doesn't mean they always will. To win games, it's not about possession, shots on goal, talent or the number of cards committed, it's all about execution, execution, execution.

hopefully he will get a lengthy ban again.

I just hope that they do not forgive him or show lenience to him again.

but I still laugh every time I hear Suarez's lawyer talking about how "everyone is attacking his poor client".

Germany Score and USA are going out

but straight after Ghana score and level it 1-1 against portugal

essentially whoever scores next out of USA, Ghana and Portugal go through

this is why the final group games are played at the same time

 

[tamotu99]

Portugal score, but USA are still going through, i forgot how bad portugals goal difference was

 

[tamotu99]

4 minutes of extra time in both games

 

[tamotu99]

USA qualify in 2nd place, massive congratulations to advance from that group

 

[Cesar R M]

Portugal was AWFUL. I honestly hope they never get Pepe tag along.

 

[jw24]

If the US can combine their offensive effort against Portugal and their defensive efforts against Germany, then I swear they can compete with anyone. Did they play for a draw? Looked like it. Were they too fatigued from the Melee in Manaus? Possibly. But at least the US are through to the Round of 16 to face Belgium. No excuses now and going forward.

Wonder how it will effect us in the fall (Liverpool)

And I can't believe Neymar is being investigated by FIFA for his underwear
