    Com esse futebol de hoje, eles fracassam.

    Congrats on the win. Not a great display though.

    No one has shown World Cup winning soccer though. Even Holland with a 5x1 win looked really vulnerable at the back.

    We're only 11 games in, 5 teams haven't even debuted yet. And in the end, it's the teams that grow or outright wake up in the knockout rounds that win. Until June 28 we won't know who any of those are.

    Indeed.

    Germany vs Portugal is another must-watch game. I have to say that while England vs Italy wasn't as exciting as Netherlands vs Spain, that it was a good game and that the English were better at first. I can see England bouncing back from that defeat. I personally want Germany and Portugal in the round of 16 by virtue of their talent (Portugal is Ronaldo-dependent, but he is coming off an amazing season).

    Emocionante o que eles tem feito no Rio. É de tirar o chapéu. Uma boa parte dos argentinos que vieram pro Rio são pobres, neguinho sem nada no bolso, pelo menos é o que eu tenho visto nas ruas. Vieram na raça. E apoiam muito, muito mais do que os brasileiros.

    Kinda upset Pogba wasn't awarded a red card for that retaliation kick on Palacios. It was basically Beckham's kick on Simeone in 98, straight red offense there any way you cut it. Same for Palacios and his stamping on Pogba, but regardless the end result should've seen Pogba marching towards the showers.

    Meh. Still love the young GOAT. #19

    For all the hoopla that they're getting in the media I'm not seeing this hype from people thinking this Argentina team has drastically improved compared to Diego in 2010. They have the exact same problem as they had in that WC as well. Messi has to track back way back to midfield almost at the half way line to collect the ball and run at teams for him to have scoring chances. Once the knockout stages come, they're going to need much more than this offensively once the opposition gets tougher. Bosnia's midfield owned Argentina's yesterday.

    And their forwards Aguero, Messi, Higuain, Di Maria didn't even make much effort to harass the Bosnian defenders when they were in possession, they were content to let them comfortably pass the ball out of their own end.

    It's almost 4 mins long so FIFA always play the intro b/c I think FIFA has a time limit on how long the anthem can be.

    Isso é admirável, mas vendo por outro lado é arriscado. Vir pro Brasil de bicicleta como um certo cara fez, eu nunca faria – ir de bicicleta de São Paulo pra Buenos Aires, Asunción, ou Montevidéu. O que lhes ajuda é que nós somos um povo geralmente acolhedor e caloroso, e apesar que exista muito malandro no Brasil, quando topamos com visitantes, a tendência é tratá-los bem.

    Sim, isso é uma loucura! Outros tem vindo em ônibus velhos ou de carona. Como o @celito disse, muitos não tem nem lugar para dormir. Os argentinos tem tomado conta de Copacabana, fazendo festa todo santo dia. E ontem no Maracanã haviam milhares fora do estádio sem ingresso e implorando por algum. Não tenho visto confusão nas ruas, já no estádio ontem houve alguns problemas pelo o que eu li.

    Eu não quero que sequer UM turista estrangeiro no Brasil seja assaltado, mal-tratado, enganado, violentado, ou desrespeitado de qualquer forma. E admito que não conheço o Rio de Janeiro; só fui uma vez quando criança. Mas tomara que nenhum desses argentinos acorde sem a carteira ou o passaporte. Perder a carteira/dinheiro já seria uma tremenda dor de cabeça; perder o passaporte, ainda mais em plena Copa do Mundo, seria um pesadelo. Digo isso tendo a experiência de navegar os sistemas brasileiro e norte-americano (tratando de documentos: carteira de habilitação, certidão de nascimento/naturalização, impostos, passaportes) e perder documento é horrível EM CASA… imagina perder o documento fora.

    Excitement just keeps on coming. I have always stated that this will be the greatest world cup ever, and it is starting to be.
    So far the greatest goal average since the 1958 WC. And get this..not one single solitary tie, and no fuking 0X0!
    Today another great day. USA vs. Ghana is a do or die game for USA.
    RUMO AO HEXA - PRA FRENTE BRASIL !!!

    I don't like how Germany lined up . 4CB, Lahm at DM and no striker. Risky IMO.
