Malcador Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Pretty fun game to watch so far. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Labadal Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Costa stepped on the Dutch player's foot and got a penalty. Lol!
Malcador Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Wow, 3-1. Didn't see that coming. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Bendu Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I think that was a foul on Ikar. Great game so far. 1
Blarghagh Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Huh, I think Spain lost morale or something. They started out so well. Oranje is playing much better than I thought they would.
Malcador Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Shouldn't have bothered with Costa. Kind of want Holland to crash out hard later based on people's gloating over Spain losing.

kgambit Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Wow, 3-1. Didn't see that coming. Now 4-1 as Casillas makes a horrible mistake and gift wraps one for van Persie Edited June 13, 2014 by kgambit
Malcador Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Good for me though, I picked Holland to win this group in the pool. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

Don't worry, I haven't been wrong so far: All it does it make me angry, whether through awful referees or my national team getting everyone's hopes up by playing amazingly well at the start of the tournament and then transforming into a hurricane of failure when it actually matters.

BruceVC Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Go, Holland!! 5-1 so far!!

Hildegard Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Just loved it how the Dutch destroyed Spain. First penalty was a farce by that disgusting Costa, like they don't have enough of those, now they import them from Brazil also. But the referees are awful. First three games made me wanna vomit. Edited June 13, 2014 by Hildegard
Elerond Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Go, Holland!! 5-1 so far!! I have to say this is a very unexpected, but pleasing, result Result is otherwise very good but if it didn't also mean that my bet failed miserably

Malcador Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 And some garbage defense by Spain. Missing Puyol I suppose. Now to watch Chile ruin Australia Why has elegance found so little following?

Keyrock Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Now to watch Chile ruin Australia As predicted, the Socceroos are getting whooped up so far. Edit: Woot! Soccerros stirke and close the gap to 2-1. Edited June 13, 2014 by Keyrock RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Malcador Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Holding strong too. Impressive. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Keyrock Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Well, the Socceroos lost but they can hold their heads high. They gave a good performance, especially after those first 15 minutes when it looked like they were going to get run out of the stadium. They made Chile sweat right down to the end. Also, Spain is currently last in Group B after getting taken to the woodshed by the Dutch.

Guard Dog Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 The Dutch have been waiting 4 years for that whooping. Plus isn't is sweet to defeat a country they have historical bad blood with? Yeah I know that was centuries ago but still. Kansas and Missouri college games are still a big deal here for that very reason.
