World Cup 2014

[Serbia]

I'm hoping Mexico wins tomorrow. Did you know the country that has been to the most World Cups without winning one is Mexico? True story.

Bollocks.

Bollocks.

They always make it finals. Can't remember the last time they failed to.. maybe Italy 1990? No surprise though when they compete in the weakest region!

I dun have a favorite side... neither Brazil nor Mexico.. I just hope FIFA let it be fair!

[Army of GOD]

I hope Mexico loses so I can drink Nietzsche's tears.

[oVo]

USA pulled it out, but they were not impressive.
Curious that they sat on their butts all game
until Ghana finally netted one.

Ghana looked decent everywhere except putting
the ball in the net.

Everybody ready for tomorrow? Mexico vs Brazil

Who will you be rooting for?

Who do you want me to root for, nietzsche? Normally I would cheer for Mexico, but my friend's husband is real dick when it comes to Mexican soccer, so part of me wants to root against him since he'll drink himself silly in sorrow.

Are you really referring to football as "soccer" in the WC thread? Oh Andy, you silly monkey.
I did not sit up last night to see Ghana-USA, heard USA won with 2-1 though, a bit of an upset to me, I did not expect them to win. From the comments here it seems Ghana controlled the play for most of the time but couldn't score on their chances enough, USA will have to play a similar style against Portugal, as Portugal will control the ball, tight defense and counterattack will be USA's chance, but I don't see them being able to walk away with a point in that game. Portugal did not show theri scoring abilities last night but that's what they are good at, so expect the U.S defense to have to stand on their head to shut down Portugal.

I just saw that the brasilian turtle that forecasts scores just ate the mexican sardina. This means mexico is going to beat brazil.

Naturally.

Mexico didnt go to Italy 90 because the federation cheated on a sub-something competition faking birth certificates. It's known in Mexico as "los famosos cachirules".

basically, USA scored after 30 seconds; then ghana dominated pretty much the whole game but being quite bad in front of howard. They managed to score in the last 10 minutes, but the US scored a minute after. Team USA did the job.

I didn't know... then let's say the last time they technically failed was in Spain 1982?

[betiko]

France has a great record against brazil in world cups too.
2006: we beat them in quarter finals
1998: we beat them in the final
1986: we beat them in quarter finals


I don t know before that, but all i know is that since i m born, if brazil faces france they always lose.

[oVo]

I'm hoping Brazil/Mexico is a quality match.

[JBlombier]

Looking forward for the next match for my Belgian friends. I hope they can entertain and impress us. I'm sure they will!

[Army of GOD]

Over/under is 7 bullshit calls for Brazil today

[nietzsche]

2 hours for the game..


Get your Sombreros and Sarapes ready..

MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO!!!


I predict a 3-2 for Mexico.

[betiko]

Ok i had an all in on belgium before the game started... God this stressed me out!

I did a big bet on mexico to manage the draw next. Go draw!! Go mexico!!!

[DiM]

I predict a 3-2 for Mexico.

i don't even care what the score will be as long as mexico wins.



PS: fellaini saved belgium's ass today.

[JBlombier]

Nice, I've always liked Dries Mertens, eversince he played for PSV. His goal made my day.

[betiko]

[Army of GOD]

Its hard to tell because I'm watching on a low def TV but it looks like Brazil is getting away with a lot of shit already.

[betiko]

Come on mexico!! 11 minutes, just 79 to go! Keep the 0-0!!!!!

[betiko]

Holy shit that was scary

[Army of GOD]

What a save. Thought that was going in

[betiko]

Muy buena Memo!!

Vamos mexico!!

[Army of GOD]

I love soccer, but its tremendously irritating when every time there's contact and one guy falls he has to roll around on the ground like he lost both his legs from a landmine trying to sell a call.
