2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[Perducci]

France vs. Germany final?

[Freya]

I wasn't baiting or trolling I will be laughing because the English constantly like to tell us fans that we suck. So the irony will be amusing.

[Psychotic]

Bollocks. If you re-read this thread you won't see any England fans talking about the USA, whereas you'll see a lot of USA fans crowing about England. I think I'm the only England fan to comment on them and lord knows I've commented on every sodding team because I'm trying to watch every match I think of myself as a football fan more than an England fan anyway tbh.

The USA is completely and utterly insignificant to England fans. They don't register. Your average England fan would struggle to name any US player beyond Tim Howard (and only because he's played in England for 10 years) because they simply don't care. xD There was a lot of trout in 2010 because we were playing each other, but we've moved on. You should too!

I'm an England fan and I quite like the USA team.

Then again, Clint Dempsey has lost respect thanks to his 'rap album'.

[Psychotic]

Are you kidding me? That rap album is the best god damn thing. The best.

Anyone watching Honduras v Ecuador? Just me? I don't blame you. A crazy Honduran man with an afro in the crowd dancing like a madman has been the highlight so far. Utterly turgid football, hope Switzerland can go through at their expense. The South American teams all have a superstar - Neymar, Messi, Suarez, Sanchez, Falcao (I know he's injured)... Ecuador's is Antonio Valencia xD Says it all really, doesn't it?

Still have no idea how France did that. Shaqiri, Rodriguez, Xhaka, Inler... they are smurfing good players and Hitzfeld is of course a great coach. Think France have been grossly underestimated by many people, myself included. Their strength at centre back is absolutely insane - all four of theirs would get into any other nation's squad.

I love it when England loses because I just love watching the English self-deprecate well beyond the point of absurdity. Just like I love watching Spain lose because their style of play is an affront to the gods, and I love watching Portugal lose because Pepe and Ronaldo play for them. They are the three teams whose elimination I most relish.

The USA obviously has no shot at winning, so my hopes for the World Cup has always been those three being shamed (well on their way), the US advancing to the knockouts (possible), and Chile winning in an upset because they have Gary Medel and all their players are 4'10" tall. It'd also be cool to see the South Korean and Japanese teams do well (not looking great there) and an African team to really succeed, perhaps the Ivory Coast. Drogba is cool.

Tell you what, it's smurfing kicking off now. 1-1.

A Costly error. Ho ho ho!

[Freya]

Paul, I didn't say YOU or people here were saying it but at other places online it is being said. Stop taking things so personal, geez so unlike you. Its that football fever huh

the legacy of greatness will never die

[Psychotic]

Apparently he's with the Costa Rica squad as a coach!

[DK]

costa rica to win the world cup by a staggering margin, calling it now.

[Calliope]

Watching Argentina vs. Iran. Why do so many Iranian players have Chris' haircut?

[DarkBahamut]

Argentina and Brazil both look untrustworthy to me. Brazil struggled against Croatia and Mexico....
But omg Argentina playing horribly against B&H and Iran.

But Messi with two beautiful goals in each game really was the game changer.

[Pete for President]

Germany struggling versus Ghana

I think Croatia will go far.

[Psychotic]

Bosnia being eliminated so early has shocked me.
