2014 FIFA World Cup general discussion thread

[CURBOLICOUS]

Also a huge soccer fan here. I follow European leagues. My money is on Germany, Brazil or a surprising new team. Germany consists mostly of the Bayern Munich scwod, so players are used to adapting more as a national team vs everyone else who is filled with stars that are used to playing against each other in their clubs. Argentina is a great example of this. I'm still rooting for Argentina though. Messi ftw.

I'm going for Brazil or Argentina. A European team has never won a world cup hosted in south America.

Man they can do it, they just have to give it their all. We will need a full scale effort, especially vs germany bcuz they OP tho haha.

Nah they'll get out, but hopefully they don't get bopped bcuz that'd suck
@OBS|KH Rattlehead haha man give em some love

Lol, I can't man. Germany against the U.S. is a 8 2 matchup.

I think the key for Croatia, if we want to pass the group, is to not get destroyed by Brazil. I'm afraid that would shake us mentally too much. On the other side, if we play a competitive match and even lose, it might be inspiring for the other two games. I'm getting very nervous, less than an hour until the game kicks off...

I'm telling you, this would be a dream grand final for me and as a Messi fan. He just needs to win that title to be considered the new Maradona or better.

Tim Howard is a great goal keeper, however i think Dempsey is a bit past his best now.

Took me a while to find it, but speaking of which...

 

[YOMI MITYEAP]

Own goal by BRAZIL LMAO

 

[Rampage254]

Damn, fucking up already

 

[STRYKIE]

LOL. Maybe Dave sniped Brazil's goalkeeper

 

[Rampage254]

In case anyone missed the own goal https://vine.co/v/MjFTEZJWU6j

 

[OBS|KH Rattlehead]

Lol what? Was about to ask for a score, but I see Brazil scored on there own net LMAO. I'm at work, so I can't watch the game. Plus my office is located in an area where I can't get reception at all to watch or listen to the game on my phone.
*edit*
And it was Marcelo who scored itt? hahahahah! Had to be a Real Madrid player. Damn what an idiot.

 

[YOMI MITYEAP]

Goalllllllll brazil!!!!

 

[OBS|KH Rattlehead]

Well damn lol. Brazil top tier?

 

[Braindead]

How fucking amazing is Oscar?

That kid is gonna win Ball D'Or in a few seasons. Mark my words.

 

[STRYKIE]

Great run by Neymar, but Pletikosa should've dealt with that shot IMO. Dat crowd pop though.

 

[1man3letters]

wow that ref whipped out a spray can and be like "i said behind the line bitch" lol

 

[DarthArma]

the penalty kick! Best striker! That foot work! that psyche out! GOAL!

Also, that dive was real, IDK why a defender would risk it by putting his hands on him.

It was still a fishy approach on the last man, but the ref should've known he was hella fishing for that penalty lol

I wonder if the refs look at the game later and go.....shit, I fucked up

If it keeps the hosts happy, no chance

Personally I'm more interested in knowing if being fluent in both parties languages is a requirement for refereeing, I can't picture a Jap speaking Portuguese and Serbian.
