2014 FIFA World Cup general discussion thread

[OBS|KH Rattlehead]

Ugh I'm at work missing the football right now...
Ugh England is playing tomorrow... tomorrow will be a heavy drinking day across the nation regardless of whether we win or lose...
Ugh I'm half German so I will be suffering a great deal of abuse for the entirety of the world cup irrespective of how Germany perform.

Ugh my brother is actually going to Brazil cause he got tickets -_____________-

Same here bro. It's painful. I found a stream, but internet here is low tier.

 

[Cossner]

idgaf about the World Cup but Jesus Christ the arbiters in the Mexico Cameroon game suck major balls.

 

[kabelfritz]

2 regular Goals and a Penalty not given? tv turned off, fuck this BS. Football will never be good as Long as sepp blatter 3rd world Referees are around

 

[Cossner]

Speaking of which, I wonder if Cossner gets his inspiration from Mexico when playing Reptile since they both wear green and run around like crazy whilst controlling balls. Hur hur.

By the way, I will be updating the first post after the OP with kick-off times for each match everyday, check it for reference.

I don't know why I pick green characters. I swear to god it's not on purpose.

Arjen Roben will be diving all over the shop now that Holland are 1-0 down.

 

[STRYKIE]

God damn that header looked awkward as hell. Props to RVP.

 

[M2Dave]

Spain vs. Netherlands 1:1. Halftime.

Very good game.

 

[NKZero]

Not sure what to think of the Costa penalty. On the one hand, the defender was reckless in the box which invites the referee to make that decision. But Costa clearly drags his left foot onto the defender who has already slid way past him. That is not a natural movement at all he definitely looked for it.

I think the penalty may be debated unlike the charity call that was made yesterday.

Yeah. The Brazil penalty was shameful, as were the two disallowed goals for Mexico (neither was offside. The second was an outrageous decision). I didn't think Spain's penalty was clear. Costa left his foot hanging and looked for it, but it's not as horrible as last night's penalty.

 

[CURBOLICOUS]

These refs suck ass for real

 

[InFlames]

Netherlands leading, hope they win this one.

Man I feel so bad for Croatia as well, I felt they actually outplayed Brazil. Anyway there is some good to take from it, I'm not entirely convinced by Mexico or Cameroon so who knows...

 

[M2Dave]

If the Netherlands had played Brazil yesterday, the 3rd goal would have been waived off.

 

[DLA]

Champions taking a beating lol

 

[STRYKIE]

Lol. I know dat feel, there was a similar situation with England at the 2004 Euros vs Portugal (who were the hosts). But objectively, I don't think Casillas would have reached it either way.

 

[Phosferrax]

Why did they bring Torres on? When has anything in the last 3 years looked at him and thought 'I know exactly the man to turn this around!'

 

[1man3letters]

wow holland 5-1 vs spain

Literal definition of a bill of goods. Was it him who missed after Spain got called offside too?

 

[Flagg]

Spain have been annihilated. There has been talk that Spain is just a team full of old barca and real players past their prime (and Torres lol).

 

[Crathen]

Germany are the strongest team in Europe now.

Damn Spain got bodied? hahahaha! Their 1 goal victories from 2010 world cup matches don't mean anything now do they? I hate how they took it all with one goal in every damn match. And they became champions, it was anti-climactic. Now looks like they are not going far. Hate to say that too cuz I'm a Barca fan and a lot of the defensive players in the back are Barca players.
