World Cup 2014

[Gillipig]

show: shootout

One hundred twenty minutes of almost goals?
Lotsa drama compared to yesterday.

The offside call on Argentina's almost goal was muy close
and the Holland Keeper's save on the point blank header?
Oh shit!

This matched show just why a game can be very close and still generate no excitement whatsoever. Even the shootout was not particularly interesting due to how it played out. The other semifinal was not close at all but a hundred thousand times more exciting. I hope Germany wins over Argentina but they might bore them to death and steal a win.

[Gillipig]

And Soccer proves it is the most boring game ever!! Boring, just boring!!

And yet you watched anyway. So... soccer wins!
Also, you must have missed yesterday's game. Unless you consider 4 goals in 6 minutes "boring".

Bollocks.

What are you idiots even doing here? Talking about "soccer" here? Get it through your thick head that it's called football.

[betiko]

I really hope argentina doesn t win, that would be so undeserved. Every single game with argentina has been a pain in the ass to watch.

And argentina much better defensively? Please! Not because argentina plays defensively means they are better at it. Germany has the best keeper in the world and some of the best defensive players like hummels and lahm. Sure, the team plays offensively, but if they want to keep a score you can t do shit. That s what they did to france, they scored very early in the game and then it was impossible to get anywhere near the cages because they basically played to keep the score. And when we did a few times, neuer was there with his strong and steady hand.
Germany received 2 goals vs ghana, well ok. Otherwise, 1 against algeria at the very last minute of the overtime when it was won, and one at the very last minute vs brazil while they were winning 7-0. It is extremely hard to score against them!

I've used both interchangeably, depending on who I'm talking to. I'll make sure to always call it soccer when talking to you. Get it through your thick head that it's called soccer in my country. Just like we call your country Sweden, not Sverige.

Bollocks.

They are a well trained machine of pros. But on behalf of Argentina, I wouldn't mind seeing them take it all since it is over on their side of the world, do they deserve it? Probably not as much as Germany does but hey, its the world cup, anything can happen.

[AndyDufresne]

I'm still cheering for Costa Rica. I think they'll show up on the pitch and beat both teams simultaneously.

Is no one watching Argentina against The Netherlands?

We just fucked it up by putting Vlaar on the first penalty kick. That is not his job! Robben put it in, because it is his job! Van Gaal has made his first mistakes this WC with his substitutes. Too bad his mistake took away two potential parties in the next week,

You can't imagine the disappointment going through Holland right now, because we were able to send Messi home, but we let chance pass us. I'm sure Germany will win the World Cup. Congratulations in advance, neighbours...

Reportedly, two players refused to take the first penalty.

[sempaispellcheck]

betiko, I meant to say Argentina will play better defensively than Brazil did.
Though, Argentina has defended pretty well throughout this tournament, and Romero is no slouch.

If Argentina wins on Sunday, I win $130 (though, if Germany wins, I'll get back the $10 I put in, so I won't be too upset).

To be fair with Argentina, they played against defenses all the way.. and most of their games were played at noon which takes away a lot of potential fun and performance. It's not their fault that Switzerland played 118 minutes with two defense lines.. the same happened against Iran which is to be blamed for the shit show in all their games. Even Belgium didn't dare to attack until the final 15 minutes or so albeit Higuain's early goal.

I still believe Germany are stronger, but we shouldn't blame a semi-finalist for playing bad for a win. Holland themselves didn't deserve to be in the semis in the first place. I'm glad to see Robben the cheater out! If costa Rica were allowed to make it, which was deserved at least legally, Argentina would have finished em easily because they know how to handle a Latin team. That would have spared them a lot of efforts.

Germany got many advantages.. They only played 30 minutes not 120, and one day earlier! It may be a bit of a surprise if they lost, but who knows!

i thought they didn't accept rape on pornhub.

Honestly I just hope the center can score a touchdown to make the score 15-love with a final round of 68.

- JBlombier

That's exactly what I was wondering when I saw Vlaar was going first. I didn't say anything because I don't know him and he might be excellent at penalty kicks. First penalty kick is always key. You have Robben, Sjneider, Huntelaar, Kuyt, why Vlaar?

According to Van Gaal, two players chickened out and refused to take the first one.. he didn't mention who they were though!

Sneijder missed his as well anyway, so it s a sterile debate.

I've used both interchangeably, depending on who I'm talking to. I'll make sure to always call it soccer when talking to you. Get it through your thick head that it's called soccer in my country. Just like we call your country Sweden, not Sverige.

Bollocks.

Horrible analogy, my country is called "Sverige" in a different language, this sport is called football in the same language you are typing in. I couldn't care less what it's called in your crap country, in the language English the sport is called football, if you want to speak English you should use the correct words.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_ ... n_football

The names of association football are the terms used to describe association football, the sport most commonly referred to in the English-speaking world as "football" or "soccer".

In the United States, where American football is the dominant code of the game, the word football is used to refer to that sport. Association football is most commonly referred to as soccer.

Looks correct to me.

Don't wikipedia me!

I think you just don't want to be wrong.

I think you just don't want to be wrong.

Just give me a minute so I can edit that wikipedia page. Don't want to see falsehoods being spread like that.

[Gillipig]

Damn, looks like my old account has been suspended, I have to make a new account if I want to edit and I can't be bothered to do that this late. Perhaps tomorrow I will edit it and then it's I who will have wikipedia echoing my sentiment, muahahaha.

No wonder your account was suspended....But glad you know about the country I live in more than Serbia and I do.
