2014 FIFA World Cup general discussion thread

We have Ozil, Carzorla and Ramsey...we don't need another attacking midfielder, we need a quality striker and another defender. Cesc chose to leave arsenal to go sit on a bench at Barca. We've moved on since then.

What is your opinion on Mandzukic? I personally think he would be a great addition to Arsenal in terms of quality up front. Bonus in that he wants to leave Bayern as well

 

[DarthArma]

Do you like this, @DarthArma ?

amazing!

 

[REDRUM]

amazing!

2 hours till the Arepas play the Gyros (Colombia vs Greece)

I'm getting word that Buffon is out of the England vs Italy match later, niiiice. (no hard feelings Crathen )

Also, Uruguay vs Costa Rica just started about 10 minutes ago if anyone is interested.

 

[xenogorgeous]

Netherlands, Germany, Argentina or Brazil ..... one of these will be the champion, I guess .....

Cavani needs to step it up here!

Cavani needs to step it up here!

Welp...

Holland were quality tonight but let's not say they were better tonight than Germany in the last decade. Spain lost their first game in the last world cup and went on to win the whole tourney.

I expect the likes of Ozil and Draxler to really turn it on, in this tourney.

the last world cup spain lost 0-1 to swiss and it was an undeserved win the asswhooping holland gave them yesterday will have a much bigger inpact on the spanish team than that game did and their def not gonna win the cup this time

 

[RockTravHardpl8z]

Welp...

Totally made up for that awful volley, lol. Good stuff.

 

[Haze]

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

he lost his shoe tho

 

[Haze]

germany vs holland would be the dream final although i dont even know if its possible bracket wise

If they both win their groups then they wouldn't be able to meet each other until the finals.

Campbells goal for Costa Rica, no way that was going to be stopped
Edit: Wow Costa Rica are 2-1 up

Luis to the rescue? This is pretty dramatic.

 

[Flagg]

Campbell is quality! How Giroud, Sanoga and Bentdner are higher than this lad I don't know.

South American teams been looking very impressive so far in this world cup.

 

[STRYKIE]

I don't think they'll take a chance with Suarez, he'll be more important for the England game and if Uruguay pull it back, it's nothing Cavani can't handle.

Agreed, especially Bendtner, fuckin Heskey 2.0.

By the way, Costa Rica are actually part of CONCACAF, which is the North American equivalent of UEFA, just clearing that up.

 

[JJvercetti]

Campbell man of the match, setting up the 3rd goal for Urena 3-1

Well Wenger is in Sao Paulo where the Croation team are. My first choice surprisingly would be Draxler, madzuckic or benzene would be awesome. We really need star power up front.

Wow Costa Rica and Columbia deserved winners today.

I don't understand why England are not playing Lallana and Sterling in the 4-2-3-1? I'm a United fan and I hate Welbeck...

My line-up preferably: Hart, Johnson, Cahill, Jagielka, Baines, Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Rooney, Lallana, Sturridge

 

[Flagg]

What a dirty hack on Campbell!!!

I'm a United fan too and I also hate Welbeck lol.
Well at least Periera will not be playing against England on thursday

Rooney is overrated. Your line up needs more Chamberlain, mate

 

[STRYKIE]

Now Maxi Pereira is banned for the England game? Pack it up Uruguay....

I think Welbeck is serviceable on the left but it seems they're trying way too hard to force him into the first team by whatever loophole. I'd rather he'd deputise with Lambert since we already lack true centre forwards.

God this World Cup has been insane so far. So much drama and some ridiculous upsets. I felt so bad for Suarez as a Liverpool fan having to see him sit there and just watch with no way to help. Cant wait til the England/Italy game later should be another barn burner.

I want to keep my original pick of Germany but it seems so far everything is unexpected.

Germany Netherlands is my predicted final though.
