General Chat / World Cup 2014

I agree in the match they were quite even, but taking the group games into consideration, chile have played a lot better than Brazil and deserved to go further

Thats football Louis.... Sanchez has been amazing this tournament, If i was liverpool i'd be saying sanchez and 30mil for suarez to barca. About the actual game... I thought both teams were great in the first half and due to Chile's counter fast pace all or nothing type of football they tired out pretty quickly second half... Brasil are more measured with the passing and neymar is the fast paced guy rather than the whole team, Must say HULK played very well he tried and kept trying which you can't really say about him in a Zenit St Petersburg strip. Brasil  as a team played bad today, But they are into the last 16. Seriously tho the pressure on the brazillians to score those penalties especially  Neymar to score what turned out to be the winner was crazy, Fuck i felt under pressure just watching it haha

 

James rodriguez 1st goal.... Outstanding man. Uruguay below par they really are an average side without dracula, That is all.

Brazil disappointing again... If they don't step their game up they will lose against Colombia.

Colombia were impressive and Rodriguez is a great player. Golden Boot winner methinks.

 

Colombia V Brazil? Gotta be Colombia, Brazil have struggled against Mexico and Chile, and Colombia are harder opponents.

ochoa was incredibly lucky, everytime a ball was shot his face or belly was accidentally in the way. lets'see how the rest of this plays out

HOLY FUCK, 2 goals in 8 minutes. fuck yeah

Heck of a win for the Netherlands. Congrats.

What a sad person you are if you can't see that Ochoa is a great keeper... If there was anyone lucky, it were the Dutchmen. Robben is a disgusting diver, it's rude to hope someone breaks his leg but I hope he does. It's particularly sad because he's good enough, he don't need to dive.

i know that he's a good goalkeeper, i just feel like in this match he was lucky that every ball was shot into his body, which also was partially our mistake. also why do you call me a sad person when you hope robben breaks his leg  

Saying that Ochoa was only lucky is just sad, then you have watched the game trough orange glasses. Ok hoping that someone breaks his leg is rude, but I'm just really disgusted from the diving from Robben. He just keeps on diving, he doesn't even dive smart. It's so obvious and that's the reason Holland didn't get the penalty they deserved in the first half.

 

If you keep on diving, referees won't keep whistling in your favor. Robben already had a diving reputation and today he made his reputation even worse. Just sad because he has the qualities to play very good and be decisive without diving. That's what angers me the most about it!

Netherlands were lucky. BUT I am more than happy that they are through

 

The team is a lot nicer to watch this year than previous years, they don't seem to be as aggressive or dirty.

 

I knew as soon as that first Netherlands goal went in, a second would soon follow.

 

Fred, to be fair, Robben should have been given a penalty earlier in the game, he then also could have dived and been awarded a penalty but chose to stay on his feet. I agree he may have easily gone down in the penalty they did receive, but they did deserve it. Also, I think there has been worse dives and divers in the competition.

Less aggressive but I'd rather watch The Netherlands from euro 2008. That was some nice football!

 

Ruiz scores his second on this WC! Buffalo power! Vamos Costa Rica!

Ruiz goal came out of nowhere! The goalkeeper didn't even dive.

You know the goal from Ruiz doesn't have anything to do with Belgian clubfootball right?

Yeah yeah, but for a little Belgian club we are so proud he has played for us! Together with 2 other Ticos, that's why I'm also rooting for Costa Rica.

Yeah that's fine.
That's why I like Belgium so much, since they have three Tottenham players. 

Costa Rica you beauties.

Greece didn't deserve to be in the final 16, so doubly happy that they lost and Costa Rica won lol

Tbh Greece don't deserve to be allowed to play football, all they do is turn up, they never actually play. They are just awful.

This world cup is driving me mad! Switzerland so deserved to at least take it to penalties. Argentina were so goddamn lucky, they played awful. They will struggle against whoever goes through out of Belgium and USA.

USA played incredibly well. Best performance I've seen from them such a shame really thought they were gonna make it. They deserved it so much more.

Honestly the best game if this contest so far. Literally sat on the edge of my seat constantly during extra time. So exciting! And all because of the USA who'd have thought it?

Why do Belgium insist on playing Felaini though? He is one of the best bad footballers of all time. Right up there with Emile Heskey, always picked, always useless.
