Why is there no world cup thread ?
They are generally very slow at adopting new tech. Just using the cameras to try and avoid the worst mistakes has been an uphil battle. As it stands the ref takes his best guess. Adding in extra time for stoppages and when the opposing team tries to run down the clock by screwing around in whatever way they can. Seems like that could be plenty of a job for someone else.

I don't disagree, not even that it can be incredibly boring, especially if you don't have a grasp of the secondary tactics layer of a game, but it can be incredibly exciting as well. If the US somehow manages to place that would be the beginning of every conversation with a forgein national for the next 4 years. Someone other than Americans would actually care about a sport played in America. How do you think a small country like Holland manages to be a contender for the world cup. It's because they have really good talent schools and also because once upon a time in fabled legend they had a team with Ruud Gullit, Raikard, Van Basten. These are players whose exploits made an entire generation of schoolboys play football. It's a measurable effect. Get a taste of win and support for the sport will grow exponentially.

Obama should be there, Merkel was. Like like he has anything more pressing to do.

They can't risk aiming for a draw, but it will be highly tactical I predict and will get highly interesting as soon as/if someone scores.

It's the one time every 4 years you are allowed to be an unapologetic flag waving lunatic, they should get their full while they can.

They deserve it. Good match. Calling it before it's over but it doesn't look like Portugal have anything left.

What's the name of the AK variant that actually uses a scope. I only remember it from STALKER, although they usually always have real world counterparts.

The Iraq war was a disgrace, but sometimes we forget just how much
More along the lines of running out of enthusiasm for the cause, claming victory and bailing.

You would think that just getting to the world cup means anyone is good enough to win on a good day, generally that's true, but qualifications follow geo regions and some are just inherently pretty weak. If they didn't do it that way it would be 30 teams from south america + Italy and Germany every time.

I'm glad, they played boring football when it was working for them. Kinda like the classic Italian formula. Suck the life out of a match and score a single goal when there's 5 mins left. Estatic to see Holland get its grove back though. Even if their midfield did not maintain the super high standard in the second half.

The Spanish really do suck, but at least they are trying.

Hand on the ball in the penalty area is an automatic penalty, it has to look extremely accidental to avoid it. He kinda, sortof put his arm in the direction of the ball's fligth. that's enough. Or so says our comentator.
