Pretty amazing what happened in the last two games. Gutted for a few of the players and I would've been laughed out of the forum for saying what...
Well stated. I think the 'team' aspect of Germany really is overlooked sometimes, which is surprising. Muller may not score a lot with Munich,...
I agree with the bolded part 100%. This world Cup has been a disaster for Asia. Not one side has managed to progress. It was shocking, really -...
Actually, that's a good point. It's not a good trend. Watching, the US did better in the second game than the first, but came away with just a...
Ironically, they *should* feel right at home, no? lol
In 2010, 2 of 3 CONCACAF teams made it through, and this time 3 of the 4 did. It's been a good World Cup IMO for them thus far. Meanwhile, it's...
TBH I think that's what cost them the most. Didn't want to say so prior, but it's a chemistry killer & distraction. Was pretty disappointed that...
A little harsh - of the US games, the Portugal was one that IMO they should've won. But they weren't focused for a vital 30 seconds, and when a...
Well... the US escaped the group of death. The yplayed wit hverve vs. Portugal, nervy and super conservative vs. Ghana, yet won. Then it sounds...
Looking bad for the US. The longer the Portugal/Ghana match goes without a goal for Portugal, the less Portugal will be able to see a chance at...
Wow. The sad thing, is that I'm less surprised about Suarez biting someone than I am about Italy going home after the first round for the second...
Great result. Never would've thought they'd take down both Italy and Uruguay, and look very good in the process. People thought it was between...
Costa Rica... if they can hold on... what a World Cup for them! I have to admit, I never would have imagined them to put 3 past Uruguay for that...
So - fantastic display by Croatia, and horrible display by Cameroon. Really quite embarassing for them. I can't wait, however, to see the...
Incredible. Not to heap on the misery, but the fall-out may be interesting. From the Diego Costa affair (I can imagine a few Spain players...
Hopefully they manage something but I don't either. Otherwise their only goal thus far will have come from a *questionable* penalty vs. the...
Another goal for Chile, and Spain will be out of the cup. Just don't see them coming back from 3 down, and from 2 down it will already be tricky....
I'm in the wrong forum to say it, but you've got to root for Tim Cahill. He definitely was fired up for this cup. Didn't matter who they were up...
Somehow Hexa's post showed up for you as one of mine. lol I do agree that Brazil was unlucky not to win yesterday, but Ochoa made the right...
I can too. There is a small history weith the two sides. RIP to Marc Vivien-Foe, as I remember he was on the last Cameroon side to beat Brazil...
Apologies - I'm closing this thread for a few... will be open shortly.
** Moderators Note** Can't believe I have to do this, but for the last time, "Rivalry" themed posts belong in the rivalry forum. This is not a...
Prefer not to have a Brazil vs. Argentina debate in the forum. Did want to make a correction though. 1: I admit to not seeing every moment of...
Really the problem I have with Marcelo's play. He could've done more, but decided to try to dive. I have to give Ochoa credit though. I've...
***A quick note - don't mind criticism against the sides and debate, but try to keep more rivalry oriented posts in rivalry forums.
