The 2014 World Cup Thread - Football, Favelas and Financial Turmoil

Dunno if the foreigners can see this, but it's a pretty cool map

They should've brought Havenaar as a Plan B though, a 6'5" goalscorer is never a bad option to have.

I was actually talking about him the other day, after finally watching 47 Ronin ...

anyway, gotta agree with you ... can't believe Zaccheroni didn't want to have the option, because a striker of his profile is what they were missing against the 10-men Greeks yesterday ...

 

[Gene Reginato]

Next time someone claims the Brazilian championship is slow paced, I'll just tell them about this year WC (and the world cup in played in our winter).

 

[Xifio]

good day for Africa ... 2 teams (CIV and Naija) looking odds on to progress now ...

Alves a doubt for Portugal. Pepe looks like an even bigger idiot now.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I don't find that Messi goal very remarkable because I watch Robben on a week to week basis. I've seen that goal about 15 times.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Alves a doubt for Portugal. Pepe looks like an even bigger idiot now.

Pretty sure Alves will play. Pepe is still a fucking idiot though.

 

[Bobby]

Rumors of a lot of late action on the USA in the betting markets.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Maybe some big players making sure they get a piece of the action on such a big game for the U.S

 

[Bobby]

I'm wondering if some heavy hitters with connections know something about Ronaldo.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Hopefully Florentino Perez is making sure Portugal don't play an injured Ronaldo. He needs to remind him who he plays for during the season.

Portugal is still part of Spain, yeh?

Costa Rica (c) defends their unofficial world championship against England tomorrow. At least England can salvage something from this .

England is a team of losers, and has always been just that. You should know that it doesn't make sense to support them. And you should be grateful that you didn't play against us, Deutschland would have killed you again, like always. Even, Gary Lineker would tell you the same

 

[MaSsiVe]

In case they don't meet Brazil on the way to the final, Colombia are winning this.

 

[MaSsiVe]

Finally watched extended highlights of the France match, Switzerland certainly can't go far with Senderos-Djourou as their CB duo.

 

[Xifio]

I'm very concerned about how unconvincing Brazil and Argentina have looked while picking up wins in this World Cup ... getting through the group stage without peaking is a champion trait ...

 

[Arnau]

They has Neymar and Messi and thats what make the diference

but Barça had the losing gene this year, and Spain reinforced the narrative ...

EDIT: actually, all the starting foreigners (Leo, Neymar, Dani Alves, Alexis) have played and progressed, so I take it back ...
