FIFA 2014 World Cup - Official Discussion Thread

He's half Ethiopian half Ghanaian

Ah, ok. Well that all makes perfect sense then.

[Lief 🗽]

If Portugal beats the USA today (which is obviously possible; I think the 538 numbers giving the USA such a high chance of advancing are ridiculous), then I think we all can all agree that we'll be rooting for Ghana against them next week. And I think Ghana are the slim favorites in that match.

[Keystone Phil]

Huge sinkhole opens near stadium where Italy-Uruguay match will be played. Might cause a delay in the match.

[Lief 🗽]

This game is bad.

[minionofmidas]

Belgium (...) are clearly stronger than you, however.

I take that back.

[Tender Branson]

Side note:

Iran and Bosnia were clearly robbed.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Odd to see Tebbit's cricket test applied here.

(I exaggerate, obviously)

[Lief 🗽]

Ghana, Portugal and USA would all beat Belgium.

[Keystone Phil]

Yeah, Belgium isn't ready for the big leagues.

[Franzl]

Ghana, Portugal and USA would all beat Belgium.

You may want to finish 2nd in our group just to get a free pass to the quarterfinals....

And FIFA seems to think that this is not a big deal at all, as they've appointed for the South Korea-Algeria the same referee that disallowed two legitimate Mexican goals in the Mexico-Cameroon game.

Actually, they replaced the linesman that did that.

[Keystone Phil]

For obvious reasons, I love to see South Korea destroyed.

[Lief 🗽]

This game is surprisingly great somehow???

[bore]

That'll be that, then.

[Lief 🗽]

nope, the come back is on (again)!

[MaxQue]

I'm not following football much, but aren't the goal totals a bit high and draws usually happen more often?

[Lief 🗽]

Yeah, the last time this many goals were so scored so early in the tournament was in the 80s.

[Lief 🗽]

20 minutes until TEAM USA advances to the Round of 16

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Today marks the only time I will ever cheer on Cristiano Ronaldo.

[Franzl]

Good luck USA.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

ahahahahaha

[Keystone Phil]

So how many millions of "fans" have already turned the match off?

[Simfan34]

GOL! A real one, not an accident.
