Football 2014 FIFA World Cup

Ghana - US (3-1)

Come on... Let them win at least one match.

We could lose, but I can't see us putting up a showing like that. We always play Ghana tight (and they need help to win )

 

[Hardy]

They are talented >_<

They raped South Korea not long ago, I expect to see something nice from them.

I see no real difference with their squad compared to 2010, they just got older. Unless I'm missing something and someone in the know can tell me?

Good players don´t necessarily make a good team, i think that has been proven a lot of times, but still, Ghana has a lot of good players in the roster, can´t really say the same for Murica.

So I guess it's 2010's WC all over again?

I think our only real question mark as a team is our back 4. Not much experience and not a lot of time playing together either. We might miss players like Cherundolo, DeMerit, or even Onyewu...

Well yeah, and hopefully the refs swallow their whistles

I kinda like African soccer, but they tend to make too many fouls and they don't play well despite the overall talent... Something is missing, I can't explain....

USA has grown in the recent years.

 

[Hardy]

Fun Fact: 11 opening games without a draw, the most since 1934 (12, so far in this one 11). In 1930 there were no draws (18 matches).

Germany - Portugal will be a boring as fuck 0-0 , lol.

We could lost

Uhm...

God, Frosty hates Messi, doesn't he?

I dislike Messi, Barca, and most of what the two represent for world football.

The differences are quite often inches, and I was making a joke about how Messi always seems to get lucky on ones like that.

So you hate me and every Argie?

 

[xi0]

Yeah, I have noticed Leo says soccer instead of football

No, I don't have a problem with Argentina at all, just Messi. Messi's more Spanish than he is Argentinian anyway. Plus, from what I've heard from some of the commentary during the WC (I don't really believe this, but who knows), some of the Argentinian fans have issues with him because he never really played in Argentina and they never had the ability to get close to him or something crazy.

I quite like Aguero, if it counts. I do think that Argentina as a football power are a bit overrated, but that's because they have a WC title (understandable) and they have Messi (also understandable).

In terms of today's match, I wouldn't say that Argentina covered themselves in glory or anything.

A lot of people actually, not just some. People are stupid. They just hate the dude because he hasn't won a WC and because he's won everything at Barca. They also hate him because he isn't as charismatic as Tevez I guess.

This is something that the stupid people I mentioned say :3

that's because they have a WC title

And Di María, Agüero, Higuaín...

We did a Rikkai and played with weights, no worries.

Ah, really? That's kind of silly. Not everyone has international success, and a lot of that has to do with one's teammates. Messi will be considered higher in the all time annals of great players if he wins a WC, but he'll still be great if he doesn't.

Sure you did...I'd have liked to have seen the match without that random won goal by Kolasinac.

My predictions for today:

germany-portugal 2-1
iran-nigeria 0-1
ghana-usa 0-2

Indeed, Ghana has an amazing midfield, Essien, Boateng, Muntari, Asamoah. While not super stars, nor in their best of days, these names alone make Ghana a country not to be pushed around so lightly. Remember Ghana reached the quarter-finals in 2010 as well. I do not think they have lacked in an international cup or performance.

While I do consider Ivory Coast the best African football nation, overall, despite the results, I have enjoyed the plays of Ghana I have seen. Too bad they have such a hard group this time around.

THAT'S MY BOI

Kasey Keller was saying the same, despite the goal-line graphic coming out and saying otherwise. Embarrassing.
