2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[Nicolas]

Alright, fine, I'll prove to you all that there is no curse on my sig. No way are Brazil going out.Well I did say.

It doesn't have to be during this match. It could be against Germany.

[Bubba]

Alright, fine, I'll prove to you all that there is no curse on my sig. No way are Brazil going out.Well I did say.

? ? ?

I agree it has been a cracking World Cup though. The best in my lifetime.

[Psychotic]

Alright, fine, I'll prove to you all that there is no curse on my sig. No way are Brazil going out.Well I did say.

? ? ?And what. :smug:

[Bubba]

"See, I told you my sig wasn't a curse!"

[black orb]

>>> Pffft, Brazil saved by the bell again..:luca:

[Spuuky]

It's just too bad that Neymar will never walk again.

[Loony BoB]

International football is way better than the Premier League.
It depends on who you watch. When I watched Liverpool those first five matches, it was like watching international matches for me. The vast majority of the international matches I've seen have resulted in me falling asleep or forgetting the match was on and doing something else. I'm not even kidding! The best matches I've seen tend to be CL matches, followed by PL matches. I think following Manchester United has helped in that regard, obviously. But yeah, I've seen a chunk of World Cup matches and they do tend to be far, far better than other internationals, but I still think CL matches are better.

Of course, I'm generalising. This World Cup has been one of the better ones and if the matches suited the times I was going to be watching TV then I'd be watching them more often. Naturally, I have no regrets about watching zero matches (let alone any TV at all) while in Thailand. :D

The one thing the last World Cup had, though, was New Zealand. :) I think that made it a lot more special for me regardless of the quality.

EDIT: Your curse still counts, Psy. It counted when Uruguay hadn't gone out (because Suarez was out of the side) and it can happen now as Thiago Silva misses their next match.

[Psychotic]

Odd, as my enjoyment of a World Cup goes through the roof as soon as England get eliminated. And Euro 2008 was great because England weren't there.

[Pike]

RIP Neymar, RIP that one guy who got a yellow card, RIP Brazil next match

edit: wait is he like actually paralyzed? I'm hearing different things.

[Nicolas]

RIP Neymar, RIP that one guy who got a yellow card, RIP Brazil next match

edit: wait is he like actually paralyzed? I'm hearing different things.

He's not actually paralyzed but is forced to rest due to a fractured vertebrae. With he and Silva out the next match, Psy's Sig curse could really win out in the end.

[Psychotic]

I have Belgium in my work's World Cup sweep :greenie:

[Bubba]

I have Belgium in my work's World Cup sweep :greenie:

MMMMF MMMMF I LVOE BELGIUM!

[Shiny]

Boo Germany

Yay Belguim because I love waffles.

[Nicolas]

Alright. Here's to hoping Psy's sig doesn't pull through on Belgium. Let's beat Argentina!

[Psychotic]

Enjoyed my boy Fellaini kicking the fuck out of Messi and standing on his crotch.

[Pike]

apology for poor english
where were you when waffles dies?
i was sat at home eating lunch when hux rings

'waffles is kill'
'no'

[I Took the Red Pill]

The world needs you to guide Costa Rica to glory.

[Pike]

Paul you could've stopped this and switched to an Argentina set halfway through (like that one time you switched to a Belgium set and the USA started scoring, shame you didn't switch until like the final ten minutes so it was too little too late)

[Madame Adequate]

Paul

Paul stop

[Madame Adequate]

Betting every last penny I have on Brazil's next opponent

[Psychotic]

The world needs you to guide Costa Rica to glory.Yes but I like Costa Rica and don't like the Netherlands. It only really works if I want the team to win.

Well, there is one thing I like about the Netherlands. :love: This will have to do.

[black orb]

RIP Neymar, RIP that one guy who got a yellow card, RIP Brazil next match

>>> He wont be able to play for like 6 months, this was because of Psy's Sig, in the end the curse worked in a different way..:luca:

[Spuuky]

Robin van Groupstage continues to play like an American striker.

[Psychotic]

It's going to be fucking difficult to choose the keeper in the team of the tournament with all these CONCACAF boys - Ochoa, Howard and Navas - all being in fucking imperious form.

[Psychotic]

This game is utterly bonkers. End-to-end heart-in-mouth stuff.

I love a goalkeeper substitution too!

[black orb]

I love a goalkeeper substitution too!
>>> Cheaters..:luca:

[Psychotic]

Haha, Dirk is too manly to be affected by a signature curse. :love:

[Spuuky]

Sigh. Well, another World Cup basically back to chalk. I guess I am rooting for a Brazil-Argentina final for the immense animosity we'd see.

[Psychotic]

Germany - Holland is also pretty much up there on the animosity scale.

[Spuuky]

Sure, between the players or people at home. But I want the crowd to hate each other.

[Pete for President]

Psy, why did you have to curse the orange? :(

Shame Belgium didn't make it, I would have loved to see a good ol' Belgium vs. Netherlands derby.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I...I have to own this.

[Loony BoB]

xD That is amazing.

Fell asleep last night watching Netherlands vs Costa Rica, I don't know what it is about internationals that does it to me but they just get me so sleepy. :(

Actually it's probably the commentators. 90% of the club games I watch are on Sky. BBC and ITV have the most boring commentators in the world.

EDIT: Also, has any team really been standout in this competition? Usually there's always one or two sides who seemed destined for the final but in this Cup I'm not so sure.

[Pike]

So who are we rooting for today?

Brazil vs. Germany for those not keeping up!

It's gon' be good.

[Bubba]

I'm not keen on either of them to go through to be honest. I suppose I would side with Germany if I had to. I still gonna be in work until the second half kicks off anyway so I won't see any of it. Much more excited for the Holland v Argentina game tomorrow.

[Pike]

Well I voted Germany in the poll so I'm siding with them

P.S. I image searched "Germany-America friendship" and got a whole bunch of pictures of Klinsmann, so it was meant to be.

Suck it Brazil. Germany is owning them. I think either them or Argentina has a strong chance at winning this year. Belgium seems like a pretty great team too. Anyone but Uruguay to win plz.

I have luckily managed to hack into our work's wifi to watch this. It might be the greatest thing I have ever watched.

[Shiny]

I want the underdog to win so viva la Costa Rica. Though I love Germany right now for bringing people to tears. It's what they're good at.

[Pike]

CAN YOU IMAGINE NEYMAR WATCHING THIS FROM HIS HOSPITAL BED

This is truly amazing. SO many tearing up fans. Mm. Nom nom nom nom nom. Tears.

[Shauna]

Wow, I just checked the score and the match timeline.

What has actually happened.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I want the underdog to win so viva la Costa Rica. Though I love Germany right now for bringing people to tears. It's what they're good at.Costa Rica is done-zo, babe. These are the semi-finals. There are only 4 teams left (well, effectively 3 at this point). Germany, Brazil (lol), Argentina, and Netherlands.

Of the four, I guess Netherlands would be considered the underdog, but you can't root for them and have a soul simultaneously.

[black orb]

>>> Psychotic curse x 5..:luca:

Brazil will file out through the tunnel but it will just lead to another pitch with a fresh German team and the match will begin again.

[Fonzie]

Let the Brazilian riots begin. :jess:

Shit, they shouldn't even come out of the locker room at this point.

[Psychotic]

I've not seen a humiliation this bad in a World Cup match since Spain. Remember that? Lol. Lol.

Football is officially dead to me if Netherlands win tomorrow.


What's Brazil doing in the poll, by the way?

[Freya]

I think I picked the winning team :cool:

[I Took the Red Pill]

Football is officially dead to me if Netherlands win tomorrow.I'm kind of hoping they advance so that Germany can 12-0 them in the final.

[Psychotic]

Football is officially dead to me if Netherlands win tomorrow.After today, football lives forever.

[Mahad]

The level of beating Brazil is taking right now...no words.
In truth, Brazil never showed a solid team to win the tournament. I was expecting Colombia to knock them off on the quaterfinals, but that wasn't meant to be. I think this result is more on line with the reality of Brazil, but still didn't expect such a beating. Great game, great football from the German team.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I'm really glad Brazil came out on top in the end. It was a close match, but Brazil was just the better team.

[Bubba]

I'm surprised Brazil didn't just rage quit.

[Psychotic]

This is one of the biggest moments in football history. I cannot overstate it. This is the utter destruction of the Brazilian attitude towards football.

[Shiny]

It seems almost every time you make someone your sig, they lose. Nice going, Psychotic.

This is one of the biggest moments in football history. I cannot overstate it. This is the utter destruction of the Brazilian attitude towards football.

It was also the game that got me to stop what I was doing, and to actually watch a game,

But yeah. Brazil have long been known as a team that plays football well. Today cements that they are not the team they once were, Especially with Klose now holding the record for most goals scored.

Agreed on Arjen Robben being a sneaky diver but in previous tournaments I reckon the Portugese were worse and I think Suarez takes the cake in this tournament.

[Rocket Edge]

:erm: Christ. I've been looking at football all my life and that is the strangest match I've ever seen. It must be down to the expectation of the country that they kept pushing people forward and were so desperate for a goal. The Germans literally walked the goals into the net. Brazil's heaviest defeat ever.

I have a monstrous 5e on Germany since the start of the WC but I actually felt sorry for Brazil in the end.

[Psychotic]

I don't feel sorry for any nation that has such a sense of entitlement to win as Brazil did. Yes, I know I'm English. And I want to say thank smurf it was brutally beaten out of this nation over three or four World Cups of abject failure. It's awesome now everyone realises how awful we actually are. Brazil will learn to appreciate it too in time.

More than that I've enjoyed the media eating trout though. Ooh, the ~*~Selecao~*~ (a word I'd never heard used to refer to Brazil in the UK before this World Cup and I've still yet to see a regular football fan call them that) we all want them to win it despite losing their hero Neymar, oh what a wonderful story it'll be!!! Piss off.

It reminds me of Ghana in 2010 and the ridiculous coverage that got, and how we were all supposed to want an African team to win the African World Cup because it help's the media's inane narrative. Enjoyed the handball from relatively unknown Luis Suarez in his pre-supervillain days, though maybe that was his being bitten (ho ho ho) by a radioactive werewolf moment. Absolutely loved seeing ITV's howls of rage and the indignant outrage of their pundit Desailly (the man who cares so much about his native Ghana he chose to play for France) just as much as I've enjoyed seeing their beloved Selecao brought low.

Incidentally, here is a post I made after the Uruguay v Ghana game. Four years on you can swap Argentina for Uruguay and it is no less true. :)
Frankly Holland could play Dirk Kuyt, just Dirk Kuyt, and win 10-0.

In fact Dirk Kuyt could declare war on the rest of the world and win.

Uruguay will have to get 5 of their players to man mark him I think.

[Christmas]

I don't even watch soccer but 7-1 will definitely goes pretty far in Brazilian soccer history. :bigsmile:

[Spuuky]

Ooh, the ~*~Selecao~*~ (a word I'd never heard used to refer to Brazil in the UK before this World Cup and I've still yet to see a regular football fan call them that)I've heard them called that every World Cup in my lifetime. Just like the Italians are the Azzurri, the Dutch are the Oranje, the French are Les Bleus, etc.

[Psychotic]

I've heard all of those. What are England called out of curiosity? The Three Lions?

[Old Manus]

I thought it was Woy's Boys?

[Loony BoB]

Wasn't it the Roses or something? I forget. I'd never heard of the Brazilian one before either, though.

I think Brazil are far from "awful", in all honesty. They're still one of the best teams in the world. It's not exactly a disaster. Well, that specific game was, sure, but against a Colombian side who have been from all accounts fantastic in this tournament, Brazil were awesome to watch. I think that Brazil will go through periods like that which England goes through, where they try to realise exactly how it is that they were not able to win the World Cup.

What everyone seems to forget is that only one team can win the World Cup and in a shocking twist, it's only every four years and there are a lot of teams that are very good. I wonder if the likes of Germany, France and Italy go home crying when they only make the quarter finals or something and then start this long period of soul searching and nitpicking of their team and all that? I mean, come on... Brazil made the semi finals. It's not a disaster for them. I can somewhat relate because of NZ and their history with Rugby World Cups, but at least there are only about five teams capable of winning that contest any given year! With the World Cup there are generally about ten that or more that could realistically win it and the other nine shouldn't start crying because the didn't happen to win it.

[Psychotic]

Germany do, yeah xD See: Euro 2000. After that debacle they put into place wide-sweeping reforms that they're reaping the benefits of now.

[Old Manus]

I can somewhat relate because of NZ and their history with Rugby World Cups, but at least there are only about five teams capable of winning that contest any given year! Not if Alain Rolland has anything to say about it.

With the World Cup there are generally about ten that or more that could realistically win it and the other nine shouldn't start crying because the didn't happen to win it.

The reason why Brazil is butthurt is because the last time they hosted the World Cup they lost at home and it became this huge national tragedy (no seriously) and they wanted to avenge that and instead they got even more destroyed.

Not saying they're in the right to make it a huge deal, but that's why they, well, are.

[Psychotic]

Scrub like Messi is lucky he gets to stand on the same pitch as a hero like Dirk Kuyt.

Maxi is a beast too though so I don't mind, and Mascherano was immense.

[Shauna]

I feel like Brazil might be a touch demotivated after their absolute destruction last night...

[Psychotic]

Oh don't be too sure. They'll be desperate to claim they "restored pride" or what have you. Even if they squeak a win on penalties they'll still claim that.

[Shiny]

I feel that both Brazil and Argentina have a sense of entitlement to win and quite frankly I enjoy when their fans get their hearts crushed, which is laughable anyway because your team already won 3+ times and it's just a smurfing game. I hope Germany wrecks them tomorrow. And yeah, this game was boring as smurf. Americans suck at soccer, but at least they can put on a show. This was terrible and so was yesterday's game.

[Shauna]

Of course, they will spin it in their favour however they can.

It will be an interesting weekend, hopefully.

The final will be one time that Paul's Sig will be irrelevant. Germany will win, I assure you. If they don't, feel free to change my Sig to anything for 4 years until the next tournament.

That's how sure I am.

[Shiny]

I think I called Argentina as my final pick, so I'm sticking with that.

[Spuuky]

I hope Sweden wins

[Yamaneko]

The World Cup desperately needed Zlatan. :(

[Psychotic]

As the man himself said before the Portugal v Sweden playoff, it needs Zlatan more than it needs Ronaldo.

[Loony BoB]

I hope NL beat Brazil, but in reality I think the extra day of rest for Brazil along with the fact it was a 120 minute match for the NL guys will mean that the Brazilians have far more energy and will beat the tired-legged Dutch.

I really really hope Germany win the cup, though, because Argentina haven't exactly done much to show that they deserve it. Germany have.

[metagloria]

:( 13 for 14. Perfect bracket over.

That said, I could still tie for first in my pool if Argentina and the Netherlands win their respective games.

[Psychotic]

I have decided to support Argentina in the World Cup final.

[Old Manus]

If Argentina win, then my flutter on them before the semi-finals pays off. If Germany win, my prediction at the start of the thread comes through. What is worth more to me, real life money or EoFF ego boosting? I think the answer is obvious. Deutschland über alles :excited:

[Quindiana Jones]

If the German fans don't sing that Argentinian song about crying, then I will be severely disappointed.

[Loony BoB]

Elite Lord Sigma - Freya - Mister Adequate - Mr Shauna - Pike - Rocket Edge

VS

DarkBahumut - Loony BoB - The Captain

There should be some sort of stakes.

[Psychotic]

Half of you only voted after the semis :p

[Pike]

I voted before the semis tyvm

It was a bit after the start though can't lie :shobon:

[Loony BoB]

I know for a fact that The Captain, Rocket Edge and myself definitely voted either extremely in the competition if not before it because I remember checking them out after I'd voted. I'm pretty sure we all voted beforehand. I honestly have no clue about the others, but I know there were a couple of other people saying Germany.

We should really close these polls once the competition starts, or at least after just the first few games. xD

EDIT: If Argentina and Brazil both win their remaining games, The Captain will have predicted 1st, 2nd and 3rd accurately. He's already correctly predicted the final, but he had Uruguay facing Brazil for third.

EDITRA: Freya and Mr. Shauna also declared their backing for Germany very early in. Unsure about DarkBahamut, EMS and Hux.

[Psychotic]

I know The Captain did. He's been pushing bloody hard for the fantasy football, I've only just managed to reign him in and overhaul him in the semi finals and now it's going down to the wire.

[Pike]

BRAZIL OR NETHERLANDS

SPEAK NOW AND ASSURE YOUR POST-MATCH EOFF SMUGFACE :smug: OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE

(I'm voting Netherlands)

[Loony BoB]

I want NL to win, I think Brazil will win. NL played 120 minutes just a few nights ago. Brazil played 90 minutes and have had an extra day's rest, have home advantage and a massive point to prove after their heavy loss.

[Psychotic]

Agreed with the chocobo.

[Madame Adequate]

Yep totally credible huehues will win that is an utterly believable thing that is in no way divorced from plausibility or reality

[Psychotic]

Captain Hindsight you've done it again. Uncanny!

[Madame Adequate]

Better than Captain No Foresight :smug:

Also if I'd been in the thread between your posts and the reminder that Brazil is getting killed, I would have posted that well before kickoff!

I went with Netherlands cause I kinda figured that Brazil would feel SO MUCH PRESSURE TO AVENGE THEMSELVES that they'd crack again. It appears my hunch was correct.

(Then I again I'm far from an expert on Euroball so MAYBE I JUST GOT LUCKY WHO KNOWS)

(Then I again I'm far from an expert on Euroball so MAYBE I JUST GOT LUCKY WHO KNOWS)It's not really Euroball, it's the biggest sport in South America, Asia and Africa too! I don't know about North America, can't find any stats. It's growing in the US, obviously the Canadians don't like it, but the Central Americans and Carribean do, so :shobon:

[Pike]

Oh yeah I know, I just like giving it silly names! Example: Welfareball (because commie countries with ~healthcare~ play it)

(As for the States it's basically the most played sport by schoolkids but then the major leagues get overshadowed by the Big Three and hockey. But we seem to love the World Cup more and more every time it rolls around and some MLS games are actually starting to rack up huge viewership numbers)

[Freya]

I didn't catch this one. I heard they got booed after the game. Ouch Brazil. Ouch.

[Mahad]

I didn't catch this one. I heard they got booed after the game. Ouch Brazil. Ouch.

They did get booed; tough end for them.

[DarkBahamut]

I had Argentina beating Germany at the start. Soooo

[Rocket Edge]

WHO HURT MY DIRK :irked:

fucking execute him
Haha, tbf I was really impressed with Kuyt this WC. He has been Holland's best player apart from Robben.

Totally unrelated matter; Do you still defend Suarez Paul? Now that he's a Barca player? (I'm sorry, I had to ask :greenie:)

[Pike]

Thinking about it now, I am okay with whoever wins.

If Germany wins then the guys I voted for win.

If Argentina wins Brazil is going to get massively butthurt and it's going to be hilarious (schadenfreude is best freude)

Exciting! :roll:

[Psychotic]

Totally unrelated matter; Do you still defend Suarez Paul? Now that he's a Barca player? (I'm sorry, I had to ask :greenie:)I've made it clear I don't defend the bite - how can you defend that? xD It was the act of an utter idiot. It was funny and made me laugh, but in the same way a wacky comedian making a fool of himself might make you laugh. My point has always been that the hysteria surrounding it when far worse things happen on the pitch - including what happened to poor old Dirk actually - is hypocrisy and people that indulge in it deserve to be made fun of :p I don't have any respect for the football media or most pundits at all, they love to be overly negative and critical of foreign players because that's what gets attention, but then they suck up to English managers/players because they're likely to stay in England all their careers and they need to build a good relationship. Fans who blindly parrot their views don't really get the time of day from me either.

Jermain Defoe bit the lovely man in my avatar in 2006 in a Spurs v West Ham match (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzXBSvngRR0). How many of you even knew that? Was there a media troutstorm? I know Suarez is a repeat offender but that still doesn't fly with me - if biting is so abhorrent then one incidence of it is still worthy of moral condemnation, surely? But then Jermain Defoe being an arsehole doesn't quite sell papers like Luis Suarez being an arsehole does.

FIFA's ban was also the most ridiculous thing I've seen for football discipline, not even being allowed to attend games or even train is just outright draconian and I think it's just posturing and grandstanding. I still feel that way, it's still so far removed from anything that makes sense. Just make him play in a muzzle. He wants to act the fool he can look like a fool!

Finally, no, it doesn't matter who he plays for. I like Liverpool players more but contrary to whatever Old Manus says, if you actually look back on my posts I think I'm pretty fair when it comes to Liverpool players. You may remember my calls for my all time hero Steven Gerrard to be dropped from the England team, or saying Sturridge dived to win a penalty at Old Trafford. But then you may not, because nobody really takes notice or gives a smurf when I do that, but when I do praise/defend a Liverpool player it's because I'm a crazy Liverpool fan. Can't win! :p

[Rocket Edge]

You make some good points (I think I have even being converted to a DIRK supporter). For instance, in a Korean Premier League match you won't see a nobody getting the attention or ban that Suarez got, but then again it was in the WC in front of a portion of the world's population. FIFA being the mafia they are were always gonna come down harsh. I think the decision was harsh though.

You are fair IMO, like pretty much everyone else here. You say derogatory things about United at times but it's just keeping the rivalry alive (I'm guilty of this too, you bastard :smug:). If I have anything to share about football in general I post in this forum because it makes me laugh & I know I won't get silly replies from people who are blinded by the media.

Finally, opinions about tonight's match? I think 1-0 to Germany or else a penalty shootout. You just know Argentina will have studied Germanys style of play. Argentina play counter attacking against a German team who although quite attacking are set up extremely well. I think it will be fascinating, but with few goals IMO.

[Loony BoB]

I honestly don't think the decision was harsh because it was the third time. If a guy in the stands bit someone three times, with longer bans each time, they'd be banned from stadiums for life by now, surely. Hell, they might even be off to prison.

[Rocket Edge]

Manus made the point that if it happened on rugby pitch he'd probably be banned for life. Thats very true.

I dunno, I think in general football's discipline actions are so wayward that everyone keeps comparing them to other sanctions that other players got and it's an element why there is debate. 'Suarez should not get 4 months because X got only two months! Suarez should get more of a ban because X got 6 months!'

[Christmas]

Germany for the win!! There are more hunks in the team! :kaoclove:

And I like the colour of their flag! :bigsmile:

Are there any other third-time-biters to compare to? xD

[Psychotic]

They're all in different competitions though - it's his first time doing it under FIFA's jurisdiction. FIFA clearly stated the other incidents weren't taken into account when they made the judgment.

[Freya]

HERE WE GOOOO

[Psychotic]

Shame that was offside, great ball, neat finish.

[Madame Adequate]

>people still think Messi is good at povertyball

laffo

[Mahad]

you know, seeing how the game's going, Argentina will most likely win this

[Loony BoB]

Have to say I have a big soft spot for Romero, he was a club legend in my Nottingham Forest FM2010 game when he helped lead the club (seriously if I recall he may have been either captain or vice captain) to Premier League & Champions League glory. Amazed that irl he's gone to Serie B despite remaining in the Argentine national team.

[Psychotic]

You know, this has been nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be.

[Loony BoB]

I missed the first 30 minutes after misinterpreting the start time of the game. :( Gutted. But has been entertaining and I'm glad I've not missed any goals.

[Old Manus]

[Old Manus]

[Mahad]

You know, this has been nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be.

I'm surprised myself. I expected a really tight game with few chances, but there have opportunities for both and the game has been a lot more dynamic than I expected.

[Psychotic]

> watching on ITV
> why are you so madAndy Townsend's simplistic "for me clive"s and "in and around"s are more enjoyable than permanent Eeyore impersonator Mark Lawrenson. But I dunno, can't decide. Flicking between the two.
> rio ferdinand's swag jacketMe and my work mates texting about this. One of them reckons he's in HM Navy. I suggested they wouldn't let a red tie (bolshie nonsense, pip pip) through.

[Formalhaut]

Argentina has the edge for me, and I think they will just edge out a victory.

I really hope that it doesn't go to penalties though - that would be a shame.

[Freya]

Come on Germany! Get in there!

[Psychotic]

Come on Germany! Get in there!Get in where?

[MissH]

I think this might go to Extra Time and then I think Argentina will just steal it. I think Holland have been fabulous this tournament though. I'm not just saying that because I'm a huge Manchester United fan either.

Ps What's with Palacio's weird rat style tiny ponytail?!

[Psychotic]

Messi is trying to win this game all by himself. It's not going particularly well. Just pass it to a team mate once in a while, eh Lionel? Might have better luck.

[Freya]

Germany keeps getting possesion but they aren't getting very close. So get in there damnit. They keep holding back. I need my win!

[Psychotic]

So get in there damnit. You keep saying this but you won't explain where "there" is! :confused:

[Freya]

Closer to the goal? They aren't getting close so getting in there would be the goal.

Did that really need explaining?

[Loony BoB]

I dunno, I think Germany's chances have been better than Argentina's thus far.

[Psychotic]

Closer to the goal? They aren't getting close so getting in there would be the goal.

Did that really need explaining?I still don't get where "there" is so yes, I'm afraid so. Do you want them all to run into the goal? I mean, that'd be funny and I'd enjoy it and I'm sure it'd be a great team-bonding exercise but I don't think it'd help them in their greater aim of emerging from this sporting contest as the victors.

[Psychotic]

This opening 60 seconds of ET has been fantastic. That flying tackle to stop the Argentine counter was sexy as hell.

[Freya]

Oh that was close.

[Freya]

Argentina's defense has been tight so that would be the there. Where they are defending. Germany has held a lot of possession so they would need to get through that defense or the there to make more shots.

Or should there not exist? I think a gaping hole in the land between how far Germany is getting and the goal could be quite dangerous and probably would result in a lot of deaths. I mean I know this is FIFA but deaths and football aren't a good thing!

[MissH]

[Psychotic]

Well see if "there" is the physical space where the Argentine defenders are inhabiting and you are encouraging the German fellows to enter said space, that's going to lead to unfortunate splicing and you're going to have brutal amalgamations of the two - Argermantinians if you will - wandering around.

No I'm sorry Kaycee I cannot support you in your desire for Frankenstein's monster-esque footballer creations. I can see that you're trying to spice things up and I'm all for that, but I'm too much of a traditionalist to endorse playing with the rules of science on a football pitch.

[Freya]

I'm sorry you didn't understand my comment. Now you're getting silly.

Let's go back to enjoying the game silly person.

[Psychotic]

Apology accepted. :) I was only silly because you mentioned gaping holes though and thought that was how we were rolling.

Anyway, back on topic I've been saying all week this one is going to penalties. 15 minutes to prove me wrong boys!

[Bubba]

This opening 60 seconds of ET has been fantastic.

What, where they're chasing him through the forest at the beginning? Yeah, it's ok... But I think the ending where he says goodbye to Elliot has far more emotional resonance.

[Loony BoB]

Both Aguero and Mascherano should have been sent off. Argentina better lose, they've suddenly resorted to bullying in the last 15 and it's ridiculous what they're getting away with.

[Jess]

I've lost count of the head injuries in this game!

[Freya]

Ouch! That head butt collision

[Psychotic]

ARGENTINA HAVE ALLOWED THE BALL TO BE KICKED INTO THEIR NET EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE SPECIFICALLY TASKED WITH PREVENTING THIS FROM OCCURRING!

[Freya]

Chile played some sexy football and I loved their verve. Brazil promptly jammied them on penalties.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/USA_zps77a9c311.jpg
Ah, America. I had USA as a team in my work's sweep, and victory would see the game becoming very popular over there. Part of me, though, part of me wanted them to fail after some of the gloating reactions to my beloved England. I was in two minds. Was there a curse? I didn't know. But it was not to be.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/belgium2_zpsdd30d0c4.jpg
It was at this point I began to realise my powers and smurfed the Belgians hard just to spite Bubba. Even the afro in this signature was subsequently destroyed.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/brazil2_zps49dbbc4d.jpg
The sheer hubris of this nation offended me. Did you know they created a victory song to celebrate their impending victory over Germany? It was never sung. I am glad they were silenced forever.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/dirkdirk_zps6e3ec364.jpg
Everybody implored me to turn on the Dutch after Robben's diving. I couldn't bear to put him in there. Instead I turned to a man I love, and watched as he took an elbow to the back of the head and lost so much blood. For the greater good, I told myself.

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/argentina_zpse6f9ad69.jpg
At this point, well. The Argentines had indulged in their wacky Malvinas antics before the tournament. If Messi so much as scored a tap in off his arse the media would be screeching that he was the best player of all time. I couldn't let that happen. They had to be stopped... and I had the power.

What started as an innocent love of football and nations grew into something dark and sinister. I know now my signature has a dark power. The power to make a nation and the power to break a nation. I believe justice has been delivered, but such a power should be used responsibly. I reckon my work here is done. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/photobucketamazingness/emot-clint_zps319ed24a.gif So long, World Cup thread. *rides into the sunset*

Messi totally undeserving of the Player of the Tournament based on the two games I saw him in. I hear he did well at the group stage? I dare say Rodriguez did better than he did based on what I heard in the papers. I can only recall Messi being mentioned in glowing terms in one of the games he played in.

You guys watched more games than I did. What do you think? :o

It's a good thing I didn't enter this league, eh Paul? :smug:

Just a couple of things:

Germany deserved it IMO. I hope Higuain is safe going back to Argentina after that first half miss.

Best player of the tournament is Robben for me. Holland got third with a team of workhorses with one creative talent in him on the wing and could have easily won the thing. That's amazing.

Thank you BoB. I remember being the first (if memory serves me correctly) as being the first to vote for Germany. :D

[Yamaneko]

Fantastic display of diving by Muller. And kudos to the Italian ref for missing a blatant penalty when the German keeper came out to challenge the ball.
