Had a feeling this would happen. Is funny watching Reddit threads on these games, the Euro v Euro or SA v SA matches aren't too bad, but SA vs Euro ones are such a ****show.

This Owen Goal guy is going to get the Golden Boot.

Good game so far

Got nothing on Pedersen

Star Wars fans - or at least the ones to be bothered about Jar jar - are the types to obsess over minutiae and given the fuss over Episode 1 pre-launch, so is very likely a decent chunk of people have heard about him. Hearing some fan tell you you killed their childhood with a movie character really should make one laugh rather than upset. Hopefully they keep Kennedy on and the films continue to wind up the fanbase, is amusing watching these people rage.

Maybe he'll become AG.

Well, flopping is pretty much universal, English as usual maintain a constant blind spot over the mirror and Canadians are pretty much the same. But press in those countries always seems wound up about it, but have heard outside they don't care that much so was curious. Flopping for the most part is to really bring attention to a foul, find it funny people are more annoyed at Neymar's reaction than the cleats the Mexican player put on him (accidentally...). You do what you have to win, I guess, that's more universal than 'fair play' Not sure how a red card for flopping is going to work, the referee will judge "Well that didn't hurt that much..." ? I know some referees in the past will make a somewhat theatrically injured player go off for treatment and then let them on a little later than usual. I guess they can have minimum times for that so in effect an orange card.

At that point you know the Neymar hating is tiresome. Wonder if the non-Anglo world really cares that much about flopping and diving.

Well, it's the expected outcome but then again Croatia seems to be one of those teams that chokes at the worst moment and they are playing the host nation (so there's a motivational boost as well as the usual referee tilting potential). It would be cooler for Russia to beat Croatia, to me.

Was being sarcastic. English love to preach about this stuff but amusingly so

Englishmen never dive, they just embellish a little, not like those dishonourable Continentals and South Americans.

Sucks for Colombia to miss Falcao in one Cup then lose James in another

**** off, that ref was ****ing awful. England spend the whole match mucking about and dropping at the slightest breeze and he just went with it. Well they screwed up the shootout

Other than 2002, all the Cup Finals this century have been pretty good.

Well, was thinking higher level in terms of teams I wanted in are not and teams that are in I did not. Mostly the picks for my work pool (and my undying hatred of the English)

I guess someone has to headbutt Suarez, not many dislikable players left.

As long as the English lose, such a small and irritating people.

Everything about this Cup is disappointing

Way to **** up Colombia

God created this match to test the faithful

Yeah, but Sweden's finishing was so brainless today
