Will someone create a World Cup thread, already?

The thread to discuss how Scolari is a horrible, horrible manager who deserves everything that's coming to him.

 

Also, World Cup football.

What's a "World Cup"? Never heard of it.

 

Is it a sacred artifact of ancient origin, which was used pour out the Ur-Ocean, the source of all life?

It is a demonic relic, where all the spilled blood of innocents is mystically gathered, and, according the Sixth Prophecy, when the Cup is full, Hell's fury will be unleashed and demons will ravage the world?

Is it the cup of the famous wandering bard, Marietta of the Endless Leagues, who travelled all over the known world, and said a toast, cup in hand, at every significant place she visited? Legend says one sip from the Cup will instanly cure all madness and sorrow, because it's overflowing with the deep joy of being alive.

 

World Cup. The name sounds intriguing. I hope Pillars of Eternity will feature one.

POLISH NATIONAL TEAM IS ALREADY TRAINING FOR THE EURO 2016 QUALIFICATION MATCH WITH GERMANY IN OCTOBER

- "In the front, as we are practising our offensive."

I hope the Polish National Team can get its **** together.  Their last couple forays into the grand tourneys were flat out embarrassing, and they didn't even make the World Cup this time, granted Poland drew a brutal qualifying group.  I know the talent is there, they need to find an identity.

 

In other news, Pokemon helps make sense of yesterday's World Cup match:

Now we get to watch Robben flop around for another 90 minutes.

So far only Argentina has flopped around like dying swans. That last one didn't even get touched and got a free kick out of it, even though a player was offside.

 

EDIT: Offside again and got a corner out of it. Pay attention refs.

He's just saving it for when they really need it.

I get the feeling both teams are playing it ridiculously safe. Someone get the penalty kick statistics for Argentina's goalies, are Netherlands trying to do to Argentina what Costa Rica tried to do to them? But really, I think in general that very many matches this WC have been very uneventful in the first half.

Well he is nimble so players do last ditch stuff like that.
