Malcador Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Nice tackle on Robben there 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
Rostere Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Nice tackle on Robben there Yeah, I thought he would get a free kick first. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
HoonDing Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Should've dived. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Rostere Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 You could really feel Netherlands keeping the pressure the last three minutes. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Keyrock Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Here is my highly technical assessment of the 90 minutes that were just played: Argentina should take Messi off and substitute in Robo Messi from the Samsung Galaxy S adverts.

HoonDing Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Bring on Krul! 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Rostere Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Bring on Krul! I want to make a word joke about "Arjentinians" and how "Krul" is pronounced similar to "cruel", but I can't think of anything. Too bad. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Keyrock Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Bring on Krul! Krul the Conqueror 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Rostere Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 At least it's been more interesting football after the first 90 minutes. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Malcador Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Wish Mexico were here 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
Rostere Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Argentina is really dangerous right now. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Keyrock Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Netherlands done in by their nemesis, the penalty shootout. Argentina wins the privilege of losing to Germany. The Dutch will have to settle for beating Brazil. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Rostere Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 They should have had Krul as goalkeeper. :/ "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
HoonDing Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 That pipsqueak trying to mimic Krul was hilarious. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
JadedWolf Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Bringing in Krul wouldn't have made Sneijder and Vlaar not miss, so can't blame Cillessen. In any case, I'm proud of the boys. They gave their all, did much better than anyone expected, and only lost on penalties. Now let's see if the Germans can beat the Argies with the same superiority they showed against Brazil. As for the match for the 3th place. Meh. Who cares? 2 Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

One consolation is the fact it is now much easier to decide who to support on Sunday, go Germany !!!! 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Tigranes Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Two crap teams (that is, one team that was crap all tournament, and one team that became progressively boring) play a terrible game.

Pidesco Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Prepare to watch Argentina nullify the Germans and then winning by one goal or on penalties. This will be a cue for more crying and despair from Brazilians and, also, Cristiano Ronaldo. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

Malcador Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Germans losing on penalties would be something. At least Germany can count on the home support Why has elegance found so little following?

Pidesco Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 The Germans are being way overrated when, by my estimation, they had much less to do with the Brazilians imploding than the Brazilians themselves. Also, I always expect a team that wins so hugely in the semi finals of a major competition to go on and flop into mediocrity in the subsequent final.

Malcador Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Well of course it was more Brazil being crap than Germany being outstanding. Not sure why the Germans seem so flatter thain in 2010, I guess age of the team ? Why has elegance found so little following?

Hildegard Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Does anyone know why the Russian national team jersey is the color of cherry? Any historic reference whatsoever or just didn't want them bright red? http://www.footballwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Russia-New-Jersey.jpg
rjshae Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Heh, funny how all the 'crap' and 'overrated' teams made it to the elimination rounds. People must have especially rosy memories of past WC tourneys. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
HoonDing Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 The longer it stays 0-0, the better Argentina's chances. If Germany scores early though it might become a massacre. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Tigranes Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 It certainly won't be another 7-1, but Argentina are so poor I can't imagine them winning, it would be like.... well, like, well, 2006 Italy. Yeah, mostly it's my hope that for once, a good team will win the bloody thing. Heh, funny how all the 'crap' and 'overrated' teams made it to the elimination rounds.
