World Cup 2014

[Serbia]

The weather could really swing this in Mexico's favor. De Jong has already substituted out.

Bollocks.

[Gilligan]

This is why we shouldn't have the World Cup in Qatar. There will be a cooling break in every match and in every match someone will fall from heat stroke.

I wonder if the reason for so many empty seats is really the cost instead of the heat.

All world cup games should be played underground in abandoned salt mines.

Yeah looking at the weather isn t reassuring for france tomorrow in brazilia...

This first half is being quite even as I expected.

Oops robben almost scored!

There were not many flights to the city where the match is being played, there were some from Rio to Fortaleza but they were over 2000 dls. Mexicans have a certain budget. Add to that that Fortaleza is the second most violent city in Brazil.

Also, after the way Mexico qualified, not many Mexicans had plans for a fourth match.

[nietzsche]

I dont like the way the match is being played, its exactly how they want it. An error almost costed Mexico a goal there, althought it did cost a defender. It was a clear penalty on slow motion, not sure if at regular speed it was that clear.

[nietzsche]

Also, scalpers are selling tickets for the final in 10,000 dls. There goes my idea of taking a plane if Mexico passes over Holland.

This is why we shouldn't have the World Cup in Qatar. There will be a cooling break in every match and in every match someone will fall from heat stroke.

The main reason not to play the WC in Qatar should be the bribes scandal and the fact that it's against the law in Qatar to be homosexual. Fifa tries to ban Mexico's fans' Puto shouting but its ok to have the WC in Qatar.

[betiko]

Goooooooool!

[Army of GOD]

God dammit, took a shower during half and they scored as I was dressing.

[Gilligan]

was that a goddamn balloon rolling across the field

[Army of GOD]

That was a rip by Sneijder

[Gilligan]

That was a rip by Sneijder

Yeah Jesus Christ

[Army of GOD]

Jesus Christ that was a dive.

Mexico chokes away the game in the final minutes.

[betiko]

Watching the penaty live.........
And.....

[betiko]

Nope. Mexico out. Harsh way to be kicked out of the world cup in the last 5 minutes, sorry nietzsche.

[Gilligan]

holy shit, Mexico had a real chance until that

[betiko]

Well netherlands is semifinalist, since they are playing one of the 2 joke teams playing tonight next round.

13 countries left!

[nietzsche]

Thats not fair play. Will Fifa sanction Robben like they did with Suarez?

[nietzsche]

Thos thread is now dead to me. Mods lock this thread.

[Sackett58]

No car horns or revving engines in my town today. Croatia, Italy and Mexico out. Going to be peaceful the rest of the way in my town. Wow. Tough loss.

[nagerous]

Bad luck Nietzsche

[oVo]

Worst possible ending of a hard fought match.

[Sackett58]

Thats not fair play. Will Fifa sanction Robben like they did with Suarez?

Only thing Robben was biting was turf. Still a tough loss. Playing soccer(or football) you should have a degree in acting. It comes in handy.
