FIFA World Cup 2014

[roundabout]

What do you mean, "even"?

The guy scored once when I did not expect him to.

 

[Arnout]

Lol.

 

[The Hitch]

lol those arrested Chileans are being followed by a fat American with a snack and a Green Bay Packers jersey.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Alexis needs to get away from Barca to learn to be ruthless.

I wonder what people like that are thinking, are they really hoping they are able to get it and get away with no charges?

 

[MBotero]

And it is done,superb performance by Chile.Spain should give tiki-taka a proper funeral ceremonial.

No,Barca needs to get rid off xavi,iniesta,fabregas and messi.Put neymar on free role,sanchez with some young spaniard on the wing and start to play the game these player play best.Fast and effective football.I bet they would win champions league after 3 years of this team

 

[ILovecycling]

be afraid munchen (ok i already know you are)

 

[Eshnar]

well I didn't see it coming. Kinda happy Spain has followed our steps as world champions

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Cameroon vs Croatia

2 - 2

Neutral, but lets have a tight game.

 

[MBotero]

Cameroon-Croatia
Camerun: Itanjde - Ekotto, Nkoulou, Song, Moukandjo - Aboubakar, Ch.Moting, Chedjou, Mbia - Enoh, Matip

Croaţia: Pletikosa - Srna, Corluka, Lovren, Pranjic - Rakitic, Modric - Perisic, Sammir, Olic - Mandzukic

Don't care much about this one ,hope they bang in some goals.

 

[l.Harm]

Iniesta was great both matches though.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

ok, the men in the kitchen towel kits gets a great goal.

 

[Amsterhammer]

If Holland plays the way they did tonight, and if Chile plays the way they did, Holland will lose.

 

[ChewbaccaD]

Hey Aussies, 0-2. Bye. Have fun rooting against the US because it's all you have left.

 

[Arnout]

I think, despite conceding three goals (penalty today was ok, versus Spain was the wrong decision), the Netherlands has not really been tested defensively. Spain were incapable and were happy to go head-on whereas Australia played well, but ultimately doesn't have the quality to really test the defense consistently. Chile has the pace to outplay the defense in depth. Obviously the 5-man defense is strong when you just bump into it, but once the opponent goes behind them (and especially behind the backs) with mobile players, I think they will crumble.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Song left his brain in the dressing room... red card.

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

What´s that? Player slapping the opponent in front of the refs eyes?
Seems that guy wanted to make sure his comrades will run with 9 people in the jungle heat...
Game over BTW

Holland/Netherlands (what is most correct?) will have the advantage of better goal difference, so they only need a draw. That said I still think (and hope) that Chile will win. Then for the 1/8 finals it'll be Holland vs. Brazil (90+% sure they'll win their group) and Chile vs Mexico or Croatia. The two South American nations to advance.

Chile is confusing the hell out of the opposing team, but they lack quality.
Netherlands will find a way to kill them off.

Netherlands is correct.

Also it is incorrect to say something is more correct than something else. Like with perfection, there are no degrees of correction.

 

[icefire]

Spain's king has sent a message to Del Bosque

 

[FoxxyBrown1111]

Netherlands is correct.

So what is Holland then? A sun-lotion, or something?
May Amster knows more... ?

 

[kingjr]

I think it's safe to say Cameroon has the worst goalkeeper at this WC. He's absolutely atrocious.

@Foxy

Holland is a region and former province located on the western coast of the Netherlands

'Nederland' is the correct Dutch word for the country, always translated as 'The Netherlands'. The national football team has always been known as 'Oranje' or 'Holland'. Therefore, I think that 'Holland' should be used rather than 'Netherlands'.

You have to wonder what the hell Song thought he was doing. An insanely dumb way to get yourself sent off.
