  1. Don't understand the decision to change the keeper, just.... what the hell. Please don't let van Persie take a penalty, this really has not been his match.
  2. If Costa Rica manages to keep a clean goal for another 15 minutes it's as good as over for us. We suck at penalty shoot outs.
  3. Eh, if the Costa Rica coach complains about the ref at the end of this match he'll have plenty of cause.
  4. I think the Argentinians will be feeling veeeeeery confident watching this travesty of a match. I feel sorry for Robben, he's been great but he can't do everything alone. Van Persie is just begging for a substitution.
  5. Someone please inform van Persie about the rules regarding off-side. You can say what you want about Costa Rica' s defending but we have had our chances, and we butchered all of them so far.
  6. Yeah, it's an awful match.
  7. The first few moments of excitement in what has otherwise been a complete snorefest so far.
  8. Poor Belgium, they played with too much respect for Argentina and never reached their potential in this match.
  9. It seems the Germans got tired of trying to play attractive attacking football and went back to their roots.
  10. Ik gun het jullie wel hoor. As far as I'm concerned, you may win all the friendly matches against us. It means so much to you, and so little to us.
  11. Off-topic, and certainly not meant to disturb y'all's Indepence Day celebrations but... It really is ironic how that song with the lyrics... "Got in a little hometown jam So they put a rifle in my hand Sent me off to a foreign land To go and kill the yellow man Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A. Come back home to the refinery Hiring man said "son if it was up to me" Went down to see my V.A. man He said "son, don't you understand"" ... ended up seen by many as a tribute to the greatness of the USA. Not bashing, just... puzzled.
  12. They've only been fun to watch their last game. If they can keep up that performance, they have a real good chance at beating Argentina. I very much enjoy watching Messi play as well, but I'd prefer my own country to win. I'll get my Messi fix outside the World Cup. Never before have I seen the Belgian people so universally invested in their national team, and it would be nice to keep this going for a while. Plus we're all just dying for a Belgium vs Netherlands semi-final (especially since we beat their arses last time in a friendly match 2 years ago). I think the Belgium-Netherlands matches are fun, but they don't mean the same to the Dutch as they seem to mean to the Belgians. For us, our arch-enemies are the Germans. There isn't any sort of match that holds the same sort of rivalry for us as a match against them. If we get to the finals, and that's a big IF, it would be hilarious if we got to play them. Of course we'd lose, giving us enough fuel to hate those blasted Germans for another 20 years over another lost WC finals, but c'est la vie.
  13. A Croatian court fired its cleaning lady because she tried to commit suicide during working hours instead of cleaning. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/afp/140703/croatian-court-fires-cleaner-over-suicide-bid ... That's really caring of them.
  14. Is it funny? Is it sad? A Finnish Hearthstone tournament has briefly banned female players from entering their competition. Because you know, playing Hearthstone can get really physical and women might not be able to keep up with the furious mouse clicking. Luckily, someone sane eventually decided that it was a really silly, silly idea. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/470146/finnish-hearthstone-tournament-bans-female-players/
  15. Given the choice between Belgium progressing and Argentina progressing, it's an easy choice. Belgium all the way. They've been far more fun to watch.
  16. Congratulations to Belgium, see you in the semi-finals
  17. How could the Belgians have missed that chance? Oh my, and another. How many 100% chances can you miss, Belgium?
  18. Is it too late to send these two teams home and give the quarter finals spot to Algeria?
  19. Hey, there's always Bacchus. He's cool with debauchery.
  20. This is basically what the SCOUTS said, the government could provide the contraception themselves and still fulfill their goal of giving access to everyone. There is no need to force an employer to do it. I am butting into something here that I don't claim to understand and that isn't my business, but... If the claim by businesses is that because of their religious value system they feel they cannot -and should not- in any way be forced to help their employees to get contraceptives, wouldn't they still be in the same position if the government did it with money funded from taxes that were in part raised from these businesses?
  21. What Keyrock said, but then the exact opposite. Argentina to steamroll all over Switzerland, Belgium to struggle but eventually win against USA
  22. The South Korean football team on coming home was pelted with toffees to show disapproval at their showing during the world cup. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-28095829 Oh, those rowdy Koreans.
  23. For those who are not Belgian but still want to cheer on Belgium tomorrow: http://belgiumizeme.be/
  24. At least the French Algerians have a reason to cheer for France now.
