2014 FIFA World Cup general discussion thread

agreed .... Pirlo is a very good player !!

Pirlo is scary, pulling players out of position everywhere.

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

he almost scored in the last minute with that brilliant chip over the goalie... great header by the English defender to clear a sure goal

Yeah I know he's gotten a good amount of chances that's why I think he's gonna put on in but yeah that was a great save in the last minute by the defender it was really hype

 

[M2Dave]

This.
Olic had his eyes on the ball and Julio Ceasar collided with him. Olic went straight up. No foul.
Im convinced if it would have counted that the game would have gone very differently.

Me too. I was emo, but now I am over it. Croatia need to concentrate on the next game.

Great pass by Rooney, by the way. Very enjoyable game.

 

[NKZero]

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

Haha Rooney is overrated I agree but he is still one of our best players sadly. I'm eating my words with Welbeck though he's been great at winning the ball and providing a running threat behind the Italian back four.

Croatia will still get out of the group.

Both goals this game were amazing! I'm hoping for at least two more beauties. And then we still have Ivory Coast vs Japan.

ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PuLs4r]

fuck you balloteli

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

Yup it was only a matter of time

 

[PuLs4r]

this ref is retarded that was clearly a penalty

 

[STRYKIE]

I can't even be mad. Hart had no chance reading that.

 

[Smarrgasm]

Welbeck has the touch of a rapist man.

Thought sturridge had that 1v6 goal going on to equalize again. This game is living up to be yet another classic.

Also refs clearly on Italy's side did you see that tackle on Gerrard by the ref #Kappa

 

[Smarrgasm]

Okay that one might have been a penalty...

yep we had 2 controversial penaltys ref is a fraud

 

[JJvercetti]

Welbeck has got to be more attack minded, needs to start running at the defence.

 

[Flagg]

What a miss.

Rooney is a useless fat shit.

 

[JJvercetti]

Pirlos free kick was almost perfect for Italy

 

[NKZero]

England realistically have to win the remaining two games to qualify I think. We look slightly better attacking-wise but defensively still very poor which is worrying.

 

[Invincibeast]

Italy played better and deserved the win. Wish Pirlo would have but that in OMG that bent away like crazy.

 

[Flagg]

Hodgeson won't have the bottle to bench Rooney.

 

[STRYKIE]

Cahill dealt with Italy's last chance superbly, huge risk to suppress the goal difference. Never saw what the fuss about Jagielka was personally though. I feel we should've brought one more centre back since I highly doubt Milner will get a game.

I think a draw would do against Uruguay but man would it throw things into chaos during the final group games.

 

[NoobHunter420]

Props to Costa Rica with the pretty big upset. even though Costa Rica is much better than people know they should have actually finished second behind USA in qualifying but Mexico got the lucky break

mexico always plays with the ref advantage.
I have grow to hate them football wise because of it.

 

[The_Furax]

I think we'll have a world cup tier list. Humm

 

[aldazo]

Where's Endo? Japan needs him.

 

[Protagonist_1]

Drogba changed the whole flow of the match, pretty good game

I think Japan should have finished it in the first half, they lack hungry, then Drogba came in and all Ivory Coast was like Kill theeeeeeemmmmmmmm!!!!
