Football 2014 FIFA World Cup

[Hardy]

Ghana be like ¨Nope, Murica deserves it more¨. Seriously, an own goal and that terrible move from the keeper in Ronaldo's goal...

Congratulations Americans. You guys are friendly so it will be a great time have you guys here for more time.

Pft

Pretty terrible conditions for the match. There's no way it would have been played if it wasn't the World Cup...

Man we're friendly D:

He was serious.

I was watching the other match, but I'm watching some replays and I don't see what's so bad about ¨the conditions¨.

What? I like you guys, you're very alike IMO.

It can't be helped, rained in one day in Recife what should rain in one week.

Recife was flooded with 2ft of water. Any other game would have been cancelled.

No you're not.

Brazilian don't like raining, American don't like raining. See? You're pretty alike. XD

I wasn't sure if you were referring to something specific or not

We're alike? What? Brazil and USA?

The pitch wasn't, at all. No other game would had been cancelled.

They speak English tho.

It was outside of the stadium. No reason to cancel the game because of this. The draining system of the stadium is very efficient.

It was dangerous for commuters going to the game/traffic. Yes it would have.

I wasn't talking about the pitch, I was talking about the circumstances around it.

Gotcha.

Oh... I have no idea then. I don't think I've seen something like that happenning before.

The personality of the people, principally when it comes to soccer. You guys are animated and passionate just like us. South Americans in general root for their teams that way, you guys can be included in this style as well. I don't see the same with European.
I'm talking about people and their behavior, not about the country itself.

The city was ready for this. It is not the first time that rains there after all. At least once per year Northwest has this kind of heavy rain. I saw worse btw.

Doesn't this describe almost every country in the world though?

Fck the Yanks, I was rooting for Ghana

I think we have a crapload more fans at our matches compared to most European teams as well, so it might be a part of it as well.

It's not about being ready for it. If the match could have been postponed, it should have...that's all

 

[FrostyMouse]

So, the US progressed, which is more than I could have ever expected to see out of the US. It's amusing that the US made it out of an arguably harder group than England had to face.

That's true, but I think what I said is true as well. The combination of the two makes Americans more cheerful in this world cup.

But it couldn't since it must be at the same time as the other match, period.

 

[FrostyMouse]

I think that Germany's offense needs to change/improve. I'd bench Ozil and Podolski, and then start Schurrle and Klose, having Klose play up top and Muller as a CAM/SS.

They said that there 150,000 tickets sold to Americans in Brazil, which was the most of any foreign contingent. I don't know how many unique tickets were sold, but it's still probably 50,000.

And they finished last...after we won the group in 2010 it's been all downhill for them.

USA>England (once again) confirmed
