Football 2014 FIFA World Cup - Part 1

[zelllogan]

My semis are:
Colombia vs France
Belgium vs Netherlands.

The only one we can be pretty sure of is the Netherlands. Costa Rica reached their limits against Greece.

We forgot to mention that awesome set play USA made in the end of the match. Probably, they were saving that for that kind of situation and they almost made a goal.
See Germnay? This is a set play, learn with American guys.
See after 2:40

We almost never train corners or free kicks which is sad. Löw really is annoying.
Well and we are still missing reus the only guy who crushs those balls into the net.

Congrats on turning blue, Sky.

Anyway, yeah, Reus is a big miss.

I actually mentioned it the moment it happenned.

Btw


See USA? This is a set play, learn with the Argentina guys.

 

[Leoat12]

It was a good set play, but England lack of attention has part of the guilty.

That play would have worked 9 out of 10 times too...sad life

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Official statistics from fifa: in wc history, never a goalkeeper stopped so many shots in one game. 27 shots on target

Howard stopped 16 shots which is a record for a WC but they only started to count since 2002

 

[Saintz0r]

Hahah

He was great in the match

 

[Leoat12]

It has been the World Cup of the goalkeepers although we have the biggest average of goals since 19XX.

Since 1966

Germany will play against France with 7 players with a cold. They managed to have a cold in Brazil? Really? And people complain that here is too hot.

 

[Sky]

Rain, completely different climatic conditions. Traveling between those that often in such a short amount of time. Temperatures between 40 degeree and 18. It is a completely normal thing. Heat is one thing, humidity is the annoying thing.

 

[Hardy]

This is hilarious. I almost die after the Colombian trio.

 

[Josef]

Well I guess I would have to go with Colombia and Germany for today. I am more certain that the consistency of good play will give Colombia the edge in the match against Brazil. However with Germany I like them to win, but if they play more like in the first match against Portugal, however France can put on a show and be just as good, so I slightly think Germany has the upper hand but not so sure for that match today.

 

[Leoat12]

I think I haven't made my bets yet:

Brazil x Columbia
France x Germany

 

[kakashi919]

Columbia x Brazil
Germany x France

Colombia (ffs learnt to spell it, lol), Germany, Netherlands and Argentina (Messi will score twice... pls Lionel sempai ).

In my country Colombia is called Columbia. Depends on the way the original name is transcribed to a language in which case both can be considered correct.

It's not correct. Columbia is a universtiy in US and a province in Canada. Colombia is a country in Southamerica.
