    Most players are European in the CL. Don't confuse not the same nationality with the club they are playing for, with not European

    Arsenal for example may not have many English players but most of them are European

    And then in the CWC, which many confederations take serioulsy, what happens? Those real players seem to get beaten rather easily?

    I don't doubt there was a lot of kung fu on display in the match between Cameroun and Croatia. Cameroun have always played kung fu flavored :mad: "football". Croatia is a natural kung fu team. What do you expect in a "match" between two kung fu specialists? :ROFLMAO: I did not even bother to watch the match. :sleep:

    Semifinals! Even Bulgaria :D have made it to the semifinals. The same Bulgaria :D that collected .................. 3 :Dfrom Naija in that same WC. Even South Korea :ROFLMAO: have made it to the semi-finals. It is entirely possible to kung fu your way to the semifinals, as proven by your ............................................. kung fu :D team.

    yes in 20 years only after a war, independance and restructuration :thumbsup: when Former Yugoslavia had already 2 semi-finals :p

    Then do it at least once :ROFLMAO:

    yes bulgaria, sweden, turkey, croatia, both of them have outperformed best CAF performances ever in the last 20 years don't even need to go further, i don't want to make you feel ridiculous with your mediocre results :p
    Belgium first competition since 12 years, already in 1/4, equals best CAF performance ever :D

    Germany, Holland, France, Belgium, more UEFA teams in 1/4 finals of a world cup in Brazil in 2014 than CAF squads in entire world cup history :laugh: what will it be in 2018 in Russia? :cool:

    What you have proven is that, with ..............................kung fu :D football, anything is possible, as long as you are European :D. Cameroun tried to bring their ugly ....................kung fu :D football to the WC, and were quickly reminded that they were not .............................. European :D. Naija does not play kung fu :D football, so we are helpless against referee protected :mad: kung fu :mad: teams like France :mad:

    I will reserve my judgement about Belgium, but right now they benefited of the luck of the draw. They benefited of the flawed seeding system that allowed them to land in a group made of Russia, South Korea & Algeria, despite as you say it, no participation for 12 years. Exchange Belgium with Italy, and they might not have exited their group.
    If they beat Argentina, then I will revise my judgement.

    Then why didn't Algeria, South Korea and USA take advantage of the situation?

    top 5 caf, top 2 in this world cup, top 4 AFC and top 3 concacaf by Belgium one after another...
    so i'm sorry to tell you that your argument doesn't change anything. They won 4 matches in a row against one of the best teams from 3 others confederations.

    When the WC draw was made Belgium were ranked 3rd by UEFA, equal or higher than all its opponent in their respective confederation (South Korea 4th by AFC). And Algeria definitely took advantage from this group since they advanced for the first time ever, they even scored a goal for the 1st time since 1986. According to you CAF results in this WC are mediocre. Since a CAF team made it out of this particular group, then what do you conclude about the overall level of Belgium and this particular group ?

    If you consider Belgium as a first tier due to ranking, then France and Holland weren't first tier UEFA at the beginning of this world cup, so we can replace the teams and performances as you want with one or another.
    If we consider rankings 2014: holland, france, greece were second tiers.
    If we consider history and usual performances: belgium, swiss, greece were second tiers.

    I'm just bored of biased fans that think uefa second tiers shouldn't be in world cup when it's obvious that the second tier uefa got better results than afc, caf and concacaf on regular basis. They can compete with the top squads from most others confederations.
    And the results in a world cup 2014 in Brazil prove it again and it will certainly be proven even more with the come back of world cup in Europe in 4 years.

    To me in this world cup CAF results are average, CONCACAF good and AFC mediocre.

    I have tuned into many such matches. As a matter of fact, I am actually quite the fan of Argentina's Primera División. That doesn't defeat the fact that America v. Guadalajara is no more thrilling than Dinamo Zagreb v. Hajduk Split; or FC Porto v. Sporting CP; or Dynamo Kyiv v. Shakhtar Donetsk... I can keep going and going

    I don't get all the kung fu references. What do Croatia, Bosnia, etc., have to do with kung fu?

    If anyone has been doing kung fu at recent WCs, it's Holland.

    There you go. As a result of Matuidi's kung fu on Onazi shown below, Onazi is out for at least 3 months with a broken ankle :mad:. The ref :mad: gave him a yellow :mad: for this move straight out of the Shaolin temple

    [​IMG]

    Giroud is no slouch in kung fu either. Here he shows off his own moves on Mikel ...
    [​IMG]

    Let's not forget the WWF moves by Evra, in the French penalty box, no less ...
    [​IMG]

    This is for our Croatian ......... guest :D in France. Do you now see how your European teams kung fu :D their way to semifinals and finals? Please go back home and learn how to play .....................................................football :D

    Matuidi challenge: Reckless but not excessively forceful and absolutely zero intent to injure; Giroud's elbow...uncalled for, what's more most of us French fans were anxious to see him off the pitch.

    Anyway, not quite sure why you are making a row about all of this. Let's take, for instance, the biggest controversy in this world cup: Suarez biting Chiellini. What about all of the negative press coming out of Cameroon right now? This stuff echoes from every corner of the world.

    What is up with your rabid hatred for Europe? Do you just have an ax to grind?

    Matuidi's challenge was a straight red. I have seen reds given for much, much less at the WC, just not to Euro WWF :D teams. I do not hate Europe. I just hate ................................................................. kung fu :D football, even more so when it is rewarded :mad:

    I'm croatian by origins and i know the pleasure to see my country play a semi final of world cup :D I know also that former yugoslavia reached semi-finals of world cup twice before the war!
    and nobody ever said about Suker, Boban or Prosinecki that they are Kung Fu players get a clue :ROFLMAO: :D
    Mikel Modric ask people who is the football player, we'll have a laugh :cool:

    Russian players also rebelled against their coaches and management for that WC. So, that excuse does not work.
