Football 2014 FIFA World Cup

[Leoat12]

I saw this from all angles, but I will not discuss it. It will just infuriate me more. What I have to do is root for Costa Rica.
When they have to give penalty, they don't. This World Cup has been unfair when it comes to penalties.

In Ghana, we now trust

What about Al- and Ni-geria?

Algeria - all in their hands, Nigeria in a better position, tho Argentina ... I like both of them advancing ... maybe Iran so Asia has one...

I already posted something like this but better :<

Ah sorry, skipped a few pages here, also I heard group G might have something similar, but more unlikely?

 

[Hardy]

Outcome tables. It's pretty well done tbh.

There you have every single one.

Suarez...I mean...

This guy is a human piece of trash, obviously. If a dog bites over and over, you muzzle him or take it out behind the woodshed. He deserves a straightjacket and a padded room more than cheers from a crowd. If I was Uruguayan or a Liverpool fan, I'd be ashamed...

Our battle already started here.
I'm on second place so far. Hardy was a lucky bastard with Group B.
Some people deeply regret their predictions I guess.

My bets for tomorrow:

Bosnia and Hezergovina x Iran
Nigeria x Argentina
Ecuador x France
Honduras x Switzerland

More proof that, while this tournament looked good at the start, it's starting to become one of the least good WCs in recent memory. Sure, the results on the pitch are a mystery, but these refs have just been horrible.

Tomorrow's picks:

Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Iran
Nigeria vs Argentina
Ecuador vs France
Honduras vs Switzerland

For me, it has been the second most exciting World Cup I've ever watched, the first is 2002 because Brazil was champion. That said, it is a candidate to the most exciting yet. XD
I understand that European will say that this World Cup has been horrible seeing their "hegemony" falling apart. Probably, it will be the World Cup with more American countries qualified.

I have the feeling you don't like surprises, while I love them. XD

Yes, but unlike other times, it's been mostly without consequence

It's unbelievable. Honestly, Suarez belongs in the cesspool of trash that should not be getting any spot light or allowed to roam the streets. Why should the opponents be worried that he'll bite them without any consequences? At least some comments were close to "I wanted Uruguay to win but not like this".

Indeed, for the most part, the issues haven't really changed what would've happened anyway, but the countries that have gotten screwed and lost out on the Round of 16 definitely have legitimate gripes.

Barring the first match with Brazil and the Japanese ref buying into Fred's dive, none of the calls looked even potentially corrupt, they were just really bad calls.

It's a good point...and honestly, if I ran FIFA he'd be banned for life. Gamesmanship is is a part of every sport, but in what realm is biting even remotely explainable? It's like spitting, but actually violent.

It's sad, because it's obvious this guy has some sort of mental illness, so he needs treatment. But he shouldn't be allowed in a stadium for a long time IMO

Ivory Coast... cost...me some points in the bracket

Doing well so far, though ^^

 

[Leoat12]

Suárez bite was well planned since long ago. On the image below you can see the fail tentative in the Conf. Cup last year. Against the same player.

FIFA charges Luis Suarez for World Cup biting incident

[Doraku]

Such a thing doesn't exist in a football WC.

What "thing"?

 

[kakashi919]

They won't ban Suarez for life though...simply put, other incidents have been more violent/damaging and got a few games suspension and fined. Looking at it from a history point thought, and he can get banned for a very long time.

I didn't believe it when I hear,cuz I missed the game and he behaved himself all season, so I'm really disappointed. A genius with many flaws.

for today: Iran, Argentinia (though seeing them lose would be nice, it won't be against Nigeria), France and Honduras (sorry Switzerland, but history is against you)
