World Cup 2014

The weather could really swing this in Mexico's favor. De Jong has already substituted out.

Bollocks.

This is why we shouldn't have the World Cup in Qatar. There will be a cooling break in every match and in every match someone will fall from heat stroke.

I wonder if the reason for so many empty seats is really the cost instead of the heat.

All world cup games should be played underground in abandoned salt mines.

There were not many flights to the city where the match is being played, there were some from Rio to Fortaleza but they were over 2000 dls. Mexicans have a certain budget. Add to that that Fortaleza is the second most violent city in Brazil.

Also, after the way Mexico qualified, not many Mexicans had plans for a fourth match.

I dont like the way the match is being played, its exactly how they want it. An error almost costed Mexico a goal there, althought it did cost a defender. It was a clear penalty on slow motion, not sure if at regular speed it was that clear.

Also, scalpers are selling tickets for the final in 10,000 dls. There goes my idea of taking a plane if Mexico passes over Holland.

The main reason not to play the WC in Qatar should be the bribes scandal and the fact that it's against the law in Qatar to be homosexual. Fifa tries to ban Mexico's fans' Puto shouting but its ok to have the WC in Qatar.

God dammit, took a shower during half and they scored as I was dressing.

by **betiko** on Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:54 pm

Nope. Mexico out. Harsh way to be kicked out of the world cup in the last 5 minutes, sorry nietzsche.

by **Gilligan** on Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:55 pm

holy shit, Mexico had a real chance until that

by **betiko** on Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:59 pm

Well netherlands is semifinalist, since they are playing one of the 2 joke teams playing tonight next round.

13 countries left!

by **nietzsche** on Sun Jun 29, 2014 1:01 pm

Thats not fair play. Will Fifa sanction Robben like they did with Suarez?

by **nietzsche** on Sun Jun 29, 2014 1:02 pm

Thos thread is now dead to me. Mods lock this thread.

No car horns or revving engines in my town today. Croatia, Italy and Mexico out. Going to be peaceful the rest of the way in my town. Wow. Tough loss.
