[Closed] Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

Woo hoo.

Someone better bake YaYa a cake.

You're watching the wrong match, seriously.

Greece are:

A) shite
B) going home

Like England

Oh, Binners 😀

Dammit the Greek is going through ... damn! 😡

Ivory Coast could have done better.

Crazy - Greece scored the same amount of goals as England, less goals than Italy or Spain, but are the team that goes through.

now that was a couple of decent games ... someone please tell rooney et al how to score goals !!!!!

The quote bears repeating, if only for the quantity of fail contained therein (but no great surprise, tbh):

Greece are:

A) shite
B) going home

😆

Greece turning it on now just make me resent their time wasting, fouling rubbish football against Japan even more. Gutted for the Ivory Coast.

Quick, ninja-edit, DD!

Ya, but the multi-million £££ En-ger-land team is not in recession innit so no need to play too hard. 😆

The only good news for Greece is that the folks back home can at least ride their recession through with a smile, whereas En-ger-land has been a loud wealthy empty vessel (talent wise) since 1982.

They're still

A) shite
B) going home

But also

C) lucky to have had their flight (very) temporarily postponed 😉

You still watched the wrong match though 😀

just replace greece with england in that last quote and that'll be right 🙂

Giorgio Chiellini just called FIFA pussies. I wouldn't be surprised if they done him for calling them weak.

They're still

B) going home

Well, even the winners will be going home at some point 8)

Not if Brazil win it 😉

first time i have seen it - was out riding- pretty clear tbh and impossible to defend/deny.

They need to be brave...the pussies.

Brazil ain't going to win it. I have already said France will....and my predications are always bang on.

Gaby Logan's arms, just not good enough.

Post match interviews really need to be culled.

Junkyard - lazarus

Not if Brazil win it

I definitely hope they [b]don't win[/b] or the whole world will go into full PC spin ... with the increasing rate of the Amazon jungle being destroyed as a result.

Big Sami on yersel big man: 😆 he's never a striker, always best out on the left. I wouldn't have let him go. Hope he finds a decent club.

Giorgio Chiellini just called FIFA pussies.

Somebody's pissed at the prospect of an early flight home to the one of the most corrupt footballing nations in Europe. Poor Italy. 🙁

Brazil will lose to Chile, unless of course they get the same ref they had against Croatia.

He needs to get hold of rebecca brookes lawyer with that level of explanation

I really hope Chile will beat Brazil as I want to see a new World Cup winner rather then those that won it before.

My hope is for Holland to win as they have missed out twice in the past.

Cummon Holland! Cummon! Stop selling weeeed. 😆

Well. That's that then.

Oh dear..

Liverpool supporter on the radio earlier saying it's the best thing ever as no one will want to buy him now! 😀

Had to laugh at the 'outrage' displayed y Alan Shearer about the bite. That paragon of footballing virtue:

Argentina - Nigeria: 3-1
Bosnia and Herzegovina - Iran: 2-2
Honduras - Switzerland: 0-2 (Honduras player to get sent off)
France - Ecuador: 4-0

So what do the Italian's do ? Knocked out by a side who should have been down to 10 men, so 10 v 10 instead of 11 v 10 ? They could ask for a replay, possible but unlikely ?

If Suarez ever plays for Liverpool again in the CL I can imagine any matches against Italian sides are going to be quite interesting.

Knocked out by a side who should have been down to 10 men

And of course that would have meant he wouldn't have been eligible to play against Italy too - where he scored the winner...

the old ones are are the best...

its a fine line between child-like genius and child-like nutter...

Good to see 'unexpected' teams go through at the expense of the old guard, though I'd imagine one of the 'stars' of the tournament will not be playing any more games

Had to laugh at the 'outrage' displayed y Alan Shearer about the bite. That paragon of footballing virtue

Danny Mills and Robbie Savage looked a couple of cants too

no one watching the games now then

National anthem time...first time I ill see Argentina play hope it is a good game

I reckon Iran have a good chance of overcoming Nigeria's goal difference and going through.

well he is carrying this team - can they really win every game with a goal from him?

Belter as well

Messi is shite.

EDIT: OMFG@3MRFOPRQGIHETR;GAR4GHIAW4ETH4Q2POTQ43GRF

Oh my word!

glad I have not missed this one

1-1 @ 4 minutes 😯

Best WC ever

that was better though

This World Cup really does just keep on giving.

Best. World. Cup. Ever.

****'s sake. Missing this one.

Gifs? Anyone?

...times like these I wish we didn't have a steam driven forum, and could embed HTML5/GFYCAT.

For reference:

Badaboom! That's a lovely take from Musa.

As it stands, with Dzeko just scoring for B&H...

[img] [/img]

Whut? What was the keeper doing?

Oh, and GOOOOOAAAAAAL!

[img] [/img]

oh my word...

Shades of Maradona.

2-1 - Messi magic

Woof

the boy can play and the boy done good

Heh.

Looking like Iran might be boned.

Nice finish. Argentinian defence just parted.

Best World Cup Ever !

EDIT hadn't finished typing and it's 3-2 via a scruffy corner

Awesome. Thats how you start the second half.

Excellent game again.

Goddamit it! Just went for a piss, and missed Argentina's 3rd.

Iis this the highlights or the live match? Top stuff.

Nigeria and Argentina to go through then.

[img] [/img]

Ooof! Looking like a broken arm.

@Jamie - how did he do that - it wasn't being hit by the ball was it ? or did he fall badly ?

Hit by the ball - his arm went funny in the replay.

that GIF needs a warning

Just saw a replay of Messi's free-kick goal - that was really something!

France game worth watching? Is anything at stake?

As it stands, Ecuador need to win, as the Swiss are leading. That should be enough, due to the Swiss shit goal difference.

[img] [/img]

Good to see Phil Neville is giving it some.

....still no Danny Murphy, tho.

Yes was thinking PHil Nev has worked himself up into a frenzy of enthusiasm and fervour..... Or maybe he has had a couple of drinks!

Ooh looks like the Swiss are going thru.

Well, that's the French and the Swiss through.

This French match is disappointing so far (fair enough - high standards have been set)

That pogba header was awful...

Nooooo!

France are playing at 50% and are there for the taking. Might be like last nights Greek game!

That pogba header was awful...

French giving me a reminder of how shite they were in 2010. Makes me feel all warm inside. They should still win this tonight but there are signs there as to why they probably won't win the tournament outright.

Hatrick for Shakira.

[img] [/img]

How did Pogba manage to miss that header?

France are missing Valbuena.

[s]Ecuador keeper playing well.[/s] Sorry....it's more the French are just ****ting it straight at him.

Only problem for Ecuador, is they are putting all their efforts into not conceding, so no time for actually scoring.

In other news, a better performance from Phil Nev. Just needs to learn how to pronounce names some correctly.

Ecuador deserved something from that game. Easy enough qualification for France and Switzerland in the end. I hadn't realised quite how shite Honduras would be.

Bit of a boring one this evening, compared to the excitement earlier & yesterday..

Roll on tomorrow.

Thank god the [i]good[/i] games are on BBC tomorrow.

[img] [/img]

USA are ok with a draw, and maybe even a loss if it's not too heavy, and Portugal beat Ghana. Should be interesting.

[img] [/img]

Belgium, later on in the evening, have been disappointing so far. Given the calibre of their players, they have just been meh to watch. Will suit ITV perfectly.

On the plus side, either Algeria, SK or Russia can go through.

I wish England had been as disappointing as Belgium....

Anyway will Andy Townsend be back on ITV, I've not heard him recently, I'm starting to worry for his well being...
