2014 FIFA World Cup

[Arjen Robben]

Chiles coming out with "van Huntelaar"

Just go home mate.

[Kaney]

Oh god I'd love to see Costa Rica dump holland.

[9 to 5]

I now can't root for Holland the rest of the competition.

Same. Luckily I wasn't really planning to anyway. THANKS FOR DOING THE JOB, HOLLAND. *tears off Netherlands jersey to reveal USA jersey once more.*

You are the international version of Lineker.

You do realise flaming a mod is grounds for banning. :/

I am protected by a higher power.

[Hobo]

I'm fully behind any and all non-European teams when they come up against Europeans in this World Cup.

[GoGo Yubari]

Costa Rica could seriously beat Holland. I would not be surprised at all.

[The Buscher]

I just want the best teams possible left in to line up against Brazil for the rest of the tourney. My brain tells me Colombia are better and should take them out anyway, my heart tells me Brazil will find some way to keep getting fluky wins despite being outplayed.

[brenchill]

Anyone else think Columbia could win it?

[GoGo Yubari]

Anyone else think Columbia could win it?

I decided that I think Colombia will win a few days ago. I'm sticking with it.

Also 9 to 5, I have no clue what you're implying. I'm just supporting my team, USA. And my team for about five days, the Netherlands. And my team until Luis Suarez fucked it all up, Uruguay. And my team in group C, Japan. And...

[Ant]

Columbia are the only team who have looked impressive in all areas so far.

[Rainiac]

Anyone else think Columbia could win it?

The whole tournament? It wouldn't shock me, the way they've played so far. They'll certainly give Brazil a tough challenge (especially if Neymar is unable to play) and could even give the Dutch a run for their money

I think Colombia will win it unless Felipão actually listens to everyone and changes almost everything about the team.

EDIT: Even if he does, if Neymar doesn't play we're done.

[Regia]

Is it too late to jump on the USA bandwagon?

[brenchill]

Columbia are 12/1 to win it on William Hill.

I'd love it if a completely new team won it. Make a nice change from Brazil, Italy, Germany, etc.

[GoGo Yubari]

Is it too late to jump on the USA bandwagon?

Never.

[Jimmy]

Great game, but Robben is a disgrace. Disgusting dive and has totally soured me on the Dutch team, sorry Larz!

[JasonM]

Even though it was an easy dive, I don't care because we are through!

Huntelaar's penalty was a total beauty. Their first goal was great, as was Dos Santos'. There was plenty of action in the game. Robben's diving will end up with him smashing his face on the floor at some point before too long.

Having said all that. Belgium are still the team I'm cheering for and have been the whole tournament (well aside from unfortunately needing to get my hopes up for England of course).

[TCO]

I really want to see Belgium do well too but despite winning 3 games, they've been very poor so far.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Still, at least they're winning while playing badly.

[EddieG]

Robben should've had the first (two in one) penalty, but didn't, and he got this one, someone in the thread said it doesn't work that way, but they'd accept it if it happened to their team, it's karma.
