Meshugger

MEANWHILE, IN RUSSIA:

I hardly believe that it will come to fruition though. WW III is more likely.

Villa saves Spain ones again!

It seems like the concept of nation-state is slowly dying. Language, culture and customs are slowly dissappearing within the global utopia that is currently being built. The only thing left is trade and business and strong sense of individuality among the few, and apathy among the masses. Lets just all enjoy the ride, shall we?

Sie Germanz were simply crushing, the whole game almost turned into a bore.

Give the guy a break, he gave himself a red card and thus sacrificed himself for his team. I think that it is more appalling with people who deliberately fake injuries in order to stall time, send people of the other team out or to get a free kick/penalty.

The tone here is a bit strange, i think that The Architect is completely right on what happened, and explained it in a very calm and rational manner. How is that deliberately provocative? - Point one: If Ghana would've scored the penalty, then none of us would have this conversation. - Point two: The referee did the right thing with giving Ghana the penalty. Which brings me to.... - Point three: What do you guys really want the referee to do? Giving Ghana a goal because the ball could've potentially ended in the net? Giving Suarez THE BLACK CARD and ban him forever from football? Which brings me to... - Point four: Do you wish that Suarez should've acted like an absurd gentleman, letting Ghana score because of the notion that Ghana deserved it? No one in any team does that, why the outrage really? - Point five: Again, about this "deserving to win". What country deserves to win when they failed to score three penalties? If anything, you should be pissed off at the Gyan failing to deliver when it matters.

Holy hell, that probably was the best match in the tournament so far Congrats Holland!

at the last two. Nintendo 3DS-related:

But, but...will there be any referees left for the finals? Also, Viva Espania!

25 C now, it's becoming too much. Bear in mind that most houses in Scandinavia are built to keep the warmth on the inside and neither do they have A/C for that matter. Having 30-35 C will result in hospital visits for some and even death for others. -30 C to -40 C is just fine though, the only thing people will complain about is that the buses and trains will be more late than usual.

Meh, the samurais lost

Interesting that they happen to be the very same teams that are in the Champions League I recon that the ratio of local players is quite less compared to other clubs?

I order to maintain historical accurancy, i demand that the Hagia Sophia will be without minarets for 1000 years, then with minarets for 500 years. After that, it will loose its status as a world wonder, and its stats, and turn into a regular museum with its new corresponding stats.

I wouldn't blame the media or English players. First and foremost I would blame the Glazers, Abramowitsch, Gillett, Hicks, Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and so on. They are the cancer of british football. Who are those guys?

I bought Alpha Protocol And DA: The Awakening for a mere 38 euros + free shipping. Kind of a bargain, i would say.

That's being looked into, fyi. We can't have the rich becoming richer as the poor become poorer. Equal distribution of misery is a top priority atm. As for the quality of English footballers, I'm going to say that the team had, I think, sufficient quality to be world champions. The WC stakes just aren't high enough (individual awards can be earned without winning the championship, too), and they don't play as a team nearly long enough to be as compact as they are as part of their respective clubs. UEFACL/League tournaments are a much better representation of their ability... because they give a damn. The current setup means that competitions with the national team is something that pro footballers do on the side. Besides, nation-states are so pass

Octupus was right. To describe this match: Blitzkrieg

20 here, nothing special.

The only thing good about the US' loss yesterday was that it wasn't against a bunch of cheaters. Ghana were simply better. I think it was the first time ever me and my friends were chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!" in front of a TV (seriously). Your fighting spirit and no-nonsense attitude won our hearts. See you guys in 2014, you went out with the flag on top. Tonight, it is time for the English to send the Germans back home.

USA! USA! USA!

Oh lawdy at the danish penalty. That has to be one of the worst dives in this cup so far. Japan were simply better this time. USA or Argentina ftw! Even England, if they get their act together.

Where are you, Obama?

Was De Rossi even playing today? Christ, what an embarresment the Italian defence was.

What's soccer? Must be something they do in the colonies.
