[Closed] Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

i have decided to get some halloumi cheese.

Holland appear to have a policy of not crossing halfway. Occasionally they forget, realisation strikes, and they all rush to get it back into their own half again.

We had a thing like fishcakes with little cubes of halloumi in a few weeks ago. It was well weapon.

if nobody is gonna pinch a goal, i might have elevenses.

Excellent choice

The NED shirt looks less orange when worn with white shorts.

Jamie, try some Tunworth.

You are using Waitrose online, aren't you?

Also look darker when sopping wet

Not giving messi any room are they

We'd had 6 goals by this point last night...

Van Persie the most caught offside player of the tournament?

Dear god. I love football, I really do, but this is awful. Has there been a chance yet?

Can't we just give it to Germany and be done

Oof thought that was in

I'm thinking I might do the washing up. I'll provide my own Andy Townsend style commentary as I go...

This is such a bad game.

it was a goal..almost

It's an interesting contrast between the geeky cyclists persevering with body parts obviously damaged and macho footballers appearing to be shot and in agony when someone stands on their foot.

Van persie seems impacted by the bug. No doubt hell score now.

It's an [s]interesting[/s] tedious contrast between the geeky cyclists persevering with body parts obviously damaged and macho footballers appearing to be shot and in agony when someone stands on their foot.

now this is more like those premiership derbies rio ferdinand was banging on about! Reminds that great teams can play as bad as england. Unfortunately the converse isnt true 🙂

SOMEBODY DO ****ING SOMETHING.

It's fascinating.

SOMEBODY DO **** SOMETHING.

I preferred the original.

It seems to be raining there.

This is probably more interesting than the game itself.

Looks more like heavy drizzle than rain.

It's tasty.

And it's naughty.

Guardian minute-by-minute is not amused.

77 min: A free kick to Holland down the left. Sneijder Kuyts it out of play to the right of goal, on the full. You'd need to be 12 feet tall, with a good spring, to get a header on that. This is piss-poor.

I preferred the original

Dang!!

Another 30 minutes I cannot wait

go to bed, or watch the rest?

SODDING DO SOMETHING!!

go to bed, or watch the rest?

Just continue watching. It will probably send you to sleep anyway.

There was a shit pundit called Townsend.
Who everybody thought was a bell-end.
He played for the Oirish
When they weren't quite so dire-ish
And now his career's at a dead-end.

another half an hour of this....oh dear.

Oooooooooooo!

Why so many touches Arjen?

Ooh. Was that what they used to call a chance in the olden days? It's been a while and my memory has been drained by tedium

Someone PLEASE score..

Just skip straight to penalties.

Who's the Dutch number 16? He is pretty Clasie.

This is the second consecutive Dutch game where they seem bereft of any other way to play other than the way they do. No variation, no creative ideas and no alternative plan, seemingly. Van Gaal for Man U, yes please! They can stay as a one dimensional collection of individuals next season too with him calling the shots.

Oh and Kuyt, does he ever pass the ball forward to the oppositions goal? His first touch is always on the right foot and backwards, followed by a back pass. Poor all round and the Argentines aren't faring much better either.

The Germans must be delighted, especially when this goes to extra time!

There was boring ex player called Andy
His voice made Clive Tyldsley quite randy
and as he fellated
Townsend commentated
"what he done there it beats a hand shandy"

ah, adverts, blessed relief

#hopingforablackout

Crikey, these two teams have no chance against the mighty Deutschland. 😆

I've just been given a preview of Joachim Loew's tactical plan for Sunday.

It's a piece of paper with 'turn up' written on it.

Please someone make it [s]stop.[/s] start.

and both will beat brazil, so only playing to decide 1st loser and 2 loser.

i would welcome a golden goal approach if we cant skip straight to spot kicks

Who's the Dutch number 16? He is pretty Clasie.

saving krul for the last substitution again 🙂

I can't see the Dutch getting very vlaar if they keep getting kuyt out like this. Saying that, it would be quite krul if they do go out, even though you would have to be blind to not see that they have played de jong tactics.

Actually, Ive a plan. Lets stop this tournament now. we all know the Germans ae by far and away the best team at the moment with a positive approach to playing the game and working out that if you score more goals than the opposition, you win.

Its been a great competition this time round, more entertaining matches than not and quite frankly, the final isn't going to replicate last nights' game. So, my vote is for forgetting the 3rd and 4th play-off match and the final. Give Germany the prize money and lets remember the whole shebang with the spectacle that was the first semi final.

Alternatively, introduce the removal of one player per team every 5minutes with immediate effect. 😀

If we're starting the puns already, I can see this getting Messi.

ro ho ho ho

Seeing as it was such a lovely evening, I've been out on the bike. I gather I've not missed the match of the tournament then? 😀

That looked a sore one.

Broken Jaw?
RM.

Zab is nails

I'm now hitting the vodka.

Hoping it will make the game seem better.

****sake, I've just been reminded of Palacio's hair.

[img] [/img]

Drinking it maybe, hitting it?…. Each to their own

He'd have got that with a better hairdo.

Has the rest of it been this bad?

They might as well give zee Germans their trophy now

At this stage, I would take a coin flip to settle the game.

Binners - I'm pretty sure the Dutch haven't had a shot on target...
RM.

Is it me, or does Arjen Robben look a bit like John McEnroe?

I hope both teams lose at pens...

Yes, the best bit now....

What no Krull?

Bed for me - i do not need to see penalty kicks just hear them.

Argentina to win pens for me.
RM.

Usually, when watching a game as a neutral, I pick a team to root for.

I really couldn't give a flying **** who wins this one.

Such a bad 120 mins.

Dammit! saved ...

Argentina to win pens for me.

Looking likely.

Dammit ... Holland is going ooot!

Ger v Arg.

See you all Sunday.

Dammit Argentina is thru ... 😡

Deutschland cummon!

Loved Maxi Rodrigez's pen! Boom!
RM.

Worst. game. ever.

there have been worse and the Dutch peaked in their first game

lemonysam - Member

Worst. game. ever.

Agree ... any game that goes to penalty is shite. 😡

Robben is good.

Agree ... any game that goes to penalty is shite.

Well, that is patently bullshit.
