Leferd Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Finally watched Netherlands-Spain. Been really difficult trying not to get spoiled all day. Fantastic rout. The Oranje have always been my #2 side.

Labadal Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 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. So TN do you think you are going to get behind your team for the rest of the World Cup, nothing quite like an amazing and unexpected victory to increase that patriotic fervour I wouldn't support the England team these days if we were at war. With nazi ewoks who dive in the penalty box. I wholeheartedly agree! Chamberlain, Sterling, Sturridge and Welbeck are all diving Nazis.
TheChris92 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Wonder how many rain forests they had to burn to make those Football stadiums not to mention the budget.

But I don't want to be a fair weather fan, so I'm going to continue to expect they'll choke horribly and start ninja kicking people again in desperation, just like last time.

Well, Nigel de Jong still showed his lack of restraint at times yesterday, but that's the only player I really worry about. Really pleased we don't have to deal with the likes of van Bommel anymore, what an incredible .... that was. 1 Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
Keyrock Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Spain's defense was quite bad. Their keeper was atrocious. That was some seriously embarrassing goalkeeping. They need to figure something out and do it fast or they might not even come out of the group. Chile looked fairly shaky as well, so it should be an interesting match when those two teams square off.

Yeah, they were shocking. I expected them to be past their prime, but this was just sad. I pity the poor unemployed Spanish youngsters who had to watch these spoiled millionaires, who could only manage one goal - and that only through a dive.

HoonDing Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Van Persie goal of the tournament already. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Meshugger Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Greece - Columbia was the first snooze-game on the tournament, and i had already reserved that for Italy - England :-/ "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy

Even when Greece win, I want to tear my eyes out. No Luis Suarez in the Uruguay game. I don't know if I should be happy or not. Don't want him injured but at the same time want to see him play.
Bendu Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I never ever expected Costa Rica so strong... or Uruguay so weak.
JadedWolf Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I never ever expected Costa Rica so strong... or Uruguay so weak. Uruguay is really quite disappointing. It's hard to assess how good Costa Rica is considering how badly Uruguay is playing. Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
HoonDing Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Uruguay got a penalty for something they do themselves every corner kick, and even more blatantly. Edited June 14, 2014 by Drudanae The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Meshugger Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Uruguay played incredibly bad, all while Costa Rica fought like lions. Watch for that Campbell fella in the next following games.

Meshugger Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I'm gonna bet that England - Italy will end 0-0 or 1-1. By following the results of the championship so far, i will be pleasantly dissappointed.

JadedWolf Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) Huh, I think Spain lost morale or something. They started out so well. Oranje is playing much better than I thought they would.

Zoraptor Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Well now, this has got interesting in the last three minutes. Still find Sturridge's (vague) resemblance to MC Hammer disconcerting.
JadedWolf Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Italy looking the more dangerous team so far. Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.
