[Closed] Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

Look into his eyes, and it'll all be ok...

I missed the incident that led to the defender going off with a slightly wrecked looking left side of his face. What happened?

daftest penalty you'll ever see...

crumby take too.

I'm going to put that one in the decent save category.

Meanwhile, why so sad Senderos?

nice

Happily I was in the Netherlands for their game on Wednesday evening. What an experience!

We were in a decent sized town in the South (Tilburg) on business, but after arriving at the hotel and seeing the orange throng in the street of bars opposite we threw our bags at the rooms and got involved ASAP. Absolutely top atmosphere and we got totally smashed with the locals having a great time. No aggro, no edge, just a top piss-up.

Shame we had to go to a meeting the next day absolutely hanging, but there you go.

Noice!

Gutted I missed the first 25mins.

France playing some very nice football. They won't win the competition outright, but at least they're entertaining.

One thing you can say about this world cup is the stands look amazing, I'd love to be there atmosphere has sounded electric every game. Even the Iran game was bouncing. In general, best world cup ever if it can keep up this intensity.

France looking good here, may change my prediction since Italy looked gumf last game, although something left field like Chile may be considered too!

France have a boy in their team?

Garçon! 😆

It is great to get an international perspective to the half time analysis, but they really should have made sure some of them had a better grasp of the English language. Just where the hell does this Chiles blokes accent come from

2 down...2 to go.

...last of the big spenders 8)

Broken cheekbone and broken eye socket. Ouch!

This Swiss defence, like their cheese, is full of holes.

*coughs*

Aw oh! The French cheese tastes lovely though!

At last a free kick goal!

Some face saved, wall was poor but nice strike!

GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST. WC. EVER.

Wow... What. a. finish... Game on-ish...

Comeback's on! 😆

Very strange time for the ref to blow up.

Broken cheekbone and broken eye socket. Ouch!

Nah, it'll buff out*.

*in my case, three titanium plates and scarred retina.

Haha Martin O'Neil, brilliant!

Oh pur-leeeeeeease, let that be the last of the sad-music-England-players-looking-disappointed montages that we have to endure.

Turned it over to QI!

Moving on...

Forster

Flanagan
Stones
Jones
Shaw

Henderson
Wilshere

Sterling
Barkley
OX

Sturridge

Let them have a crack at the Euros.
Bit of tournament experience and they'll be fine for Russia '18.

Forster is decent, better that hart IMO. Whether good enough I dunno.

Fastest foul of the tournament from the hondurans there.

This is not going to be a classic.

nah it is not.

to lighten the mood, you have to appreciate this.. 😆

Why is Carlos Costly chewing on a biro lid?

I thought it looked like a sherbet straw. Perhaps a dibdab for the second half?

should have scored, izaguirre caught out. It's actually no a bad game, competitive anyhow! Ecudor looking the better team though.

Well taken! He's even finished his ice pop.

All the kids will be chewing plastic now, to help them score.

Good goal, well against the run of play though! Pleased for izzy, could do with him coming back with some confidence from this WC!

That didn't last long!

Even the crap games are good 8)

Ecuador deserve that.

I can't think of another tournament I've seen that's been this good...

How many teams have been conceding goals just after scoring?!

EDIT - Where have the dirty Honduran tackles been tonight?

Qatar indeed, that's gonny be a shit WC.

do we really need to listen to glen hoddle ffs! get over it!

Head and shoulders still running the adverts with Joe Hart expecting it to come down to penalties... not so much Joe.

Yes - I suspect all the companies that paid the English & Spanish players to promote their products are feeling pretty stupid just now..

2-1, that might be me done.

3 cracking games today!

Argentina vs Iran not as one sided as I'd expected thus far... Argentina looking susceptible on the break.

Argentina are rubbish!

Messi? Shite.

They not doing on for you man-crush-wise?

If we are talking Argentina's man crushes, it has to be:

Dear Mr. Hodgson, my dog has found the cutting edge that you seem to have lost, if you would like to collect it then you can find it on the Dutch/Belgian border. Oh, and 150Euro for the vet bill would be nice.

...okaaaay...

Moving swiftly on...

Iran really should be 1-0 up.

....and have a pen.

Though in fairness, the argentinians should be about 3 up from the first half.

The iranians are pretty feisty. I thought the ref was going to get a slap for missing that corner.

Iran really could nick this.

Oh my word.

So close.

I made an embarrassing squeal at that one...

I know it's going to come, but I am really not going to be happy when Argentina do score.

Come on Iran!

(the boyfriend is Iranian and he's going nuts)

Cummon I-ran axis of evil!

They never let Argentina dictates the game which is good and full of energy. I guess I-ran needs to win or the players will have to face crane style mass hanging.

This has developed into a very lively match in terms of attacking footie.

I-ran must win!

😆

😀

I watched Iran's 0-0 game against Nigeria, and it was ****ing awful.

This 0-0, so far, has been one of the games of the tournament.

Funny old world.

Edit: Taking off Dejagah? Hmmmmm. If anyone can score Iran a goal, Ashkan, kan.

Edit 2: **** me. Argentina really don't deserve to get anything from this game.

AAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhh....... nope...

Arrrghhh ... Cummon I-ran! Cummon! The slick hairstyle should help them to score few goals!

No nails left here

Palacio deserves to lose for that rat's tail.

Argentina looks rather average now don't they once they got bullied by aggressive team. I-ran got balls! 😆

I know it's going to come, but I am really not going to be happy when Argentina do score.

Balls.

Edit: Balls.

Edit 2: 😡

Ahhh shit.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Shitteeeeee ... please send in the Mullahs ... 😡

I-ranian players should face the crane now. 👿
