2014 FIFA World Cup general discussion thread

Does somebody have a reasonable explanation as to why France choose to wear their away/secondary kit when their primary colors blatantly does not clash with the opposition colors?

YOLO.

YOLO.

Fair enough.

Argentina and Belgium, and colombia vs brazil looks so fucking interesting AF

Lionel freakin' Messi. Holy crap, that guy is a genius. You simply can't let him touch the ball at any circumstance.
Switzerland played really well, though. Great match.

The way the Swiss defence was hellbent on chasing down Messi was wreckless though, so many teams made that mistake with Maradona leaving support open for a pub-team tap in. Should've been 2-0 before extra time honestly.

Also, this thread has had some serious droughts the last couple days. Here's hoping TYM will rectify that over the next two hours.

Wasn't able to watch the Argentina game today. SO apparently Switzerland played better? Man Argentina have been lucky so far. Yeah Messi is amazing, but I fear that next game they're most likely out.

U.S. needs to keep possession more, Belgium will stop screwing up all these chances eventually.

My god, Tim Howard is insane haha, US needs to put some pressure though. Both teams are playing their hearts out

 

[Protagonist_1]

Another game going to the wire, can barely breath watching this lol

Even if they scored, they wouldn't have counted it due to offsides (and it wasn't offsides)

 

[Obs_SmSwag]

Even if the U.S doesn't win Tim Howard needs a trophy for all the work he's put in. This dude is amazing

all I have to say about tim is, DAMN

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

alright U.S. that's a pack up

 

[Zoidberg747]

I wouldnt say they are out of it quite yet. 24 minutes is a lot to play.

 

[Protagonist_1]

Damn, U.S. is too fatigued, can't see them getting back into this. Good decision by Belgium bringing in the sub up front

 

[Braindead]

Yeeeaaaahhh Kevin DeBruyne!!! Kicked In DeGruyne!!!!

 

[Iustinus]

Game

 

[Protagonist_1]

Yeah, that's it. Props to Tim Howard though, you can only allow so many shots on goal without one going in.

 

[Obs_SmSwag]

Yo, we suck lol. Our offense is dick

 

[Braindead]

LUKAKUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! Belgium are fucking awesome!!!!!

 

[Zoidberg747]

Tbh Belgium really deserves the win, U.S just couldn't get a good chance to save their life.

Tim Howard might have had the best performance of any goalkeeper so far though, god what a beast.
