2014 FIFA World Cup

[GoGo Yubari]

I don't know if there's a bigger kick in the balls than watching a team that should have on paper gotten the job done in 90 minutes be completely fucking inept for the entire duration but since the underdog team cannot score to save their lives, the favorite just dicks around and eventually scores a goal in extra time to deny even the thrill of penalties.

That has been the last two matches. God.

Important yellow for Garay to take there. Still a chance though.

Big FK coming up here for the Swiss.

GLORIOUS VICTORY FOR STOKEGENTINA

[stokeriño]

I almost don't care who wins the last match of this round, provided they make some kind of pact with the devil to beat Argentina in the quarters.

[Colly]

That free kick should've been retaken, they were about two yards in front of the magic line.

[Arjen Robben]

That Argentina goal reminded me of Rivaldo's against England in the 2002 World Cup.

Thoroughly amused by Lineker and co absolutely burying Di Maria.

Geoff Cameron in for Kyle Beckerman. Huh.

[Blaze09]

Is Beoyda still in? If anyone needs a rest, it's him.

[GoGo Yubari]

Why would Bedoya need a rest the most? He's the only one who didn't start vs. Germany.

See you tomorrow when my post will seriously just be Hulk Hogan's entrance themes over the years and dogs wearing American flag bandannas.

SORT IT OUT, GOGO

Good god that Argentina side were poor today. Yes they won in the end but given their reputation and talent pool they shouldn't have had to take it to Extra Time. Messi's undeniably a great player, but even he can't carry an entire country to a World Cup. Whichever side wins the clash between USA & Belgium have a real chance to getting to the semi-finals at Messi's expense, because a more attacking-orientated side would have torn Argentina to shreds today

Man, Argentina were so shit today. Even after they ( ) scored, the Swiss still could get one back. Hope Aguerro will be back for the quarters.

[stokeriño]

Okay, I marked for the US superheroes vs. Belgian Tintin comics shtick.

[Lineker]

Belgium make six changes from the side which beat South Korea, as Vincent Kompany, Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne all return,

Belgium: Courtois, Alderweireld, Kompany ©, Vertonghen, Witsel, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Hazard, Mertens, Van Buyten, Origi

The USA make two changes, with Stoke's Geoff Cameron back in the side.

USA: Howard, Gonzalez, Bradley, Besler, Beasley, Dempsey ©, Bedoya, Jones, Zusi, Cameron, Johnson

...So Lukaku's officially second-choice now, I guess.
