Brazil 2014. The World Cup thread

It’s just like watching Braziiiiil !

Not play very well.

My money’s on Holland.

Where does one view the Mexican broadcast? 🙂

My money’s on Holland.

Germany

I called France from the off.

Anyway. It’s no USA v Ghana, is it?

Italy. Reckon they’ll have a few more gears to go through as the tourney progresses. I’d like to say Holland but I predict they’ll be a case of peaking too early.

I’m going to go out on a limb and go for honduras.

I bloody love the magic spray.

Missed the first half but can’t believe how crap Brazil are! C’mon Mexico!

Quite a fan of the Mexican Adrian Chiles

I say!!!

Wot. A. Save.

The manager liked it…

Man of the match by quite some distance.

Mx goalie has to be MoM

OTOH he has a car crash of a hair style

He’s not bad this mexican keeper.

Diving ****.

Should get a yellow.

Good call ref – brave!

GGGOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

SUCK IT BRAZIL!

I so want them to nick it at the end…

shooorrrrRRRYYUUUKKKEENNN!

I wonder what was happening to that woman?

Meh. I’ll take a draw.

Brazil have been really poor.

That was shite!

Cracking result for mexico, a draw against croatia and that’s them through IMO, might not even need it. Good position to be in.

The winner will either be Netherlands or Germany but I think the former will win it for the first time.

I had to go to bed last night, missed the second half of USA v Ghana. USA are becoming my favourite team.. on the replays of the fouls I kept seeing the USA players looking for the ball rather than the ref.

That game though – can anyone explain why Mexico kept not bothering to put players in the box?

Because they played too defensively that’s why.

Both are craps so do not deserve to win the cup.

🙄

Hello sailor!

Clearly deciding to ride a bike tonight was not a bad idea then

OK now the bug guns are out.

This refs comb over is magnificent!

So who’s going to win this one? Did I just see Shevchenko on the pitch….. The Ruskis must be desperate!

Getting a Ukrainian to represent them suggests you’d be correct.

Hellooooooo shadowy Far Eastern betting syndicate 😀

Ukraine is part of Russia now, no ? IGMC …

Interesting fact I’ve just read….

England completed 89.5% of their 267 passes in the opposition half which, going into Tuesday’s matches, was the highest of any team in the tournament.

😯

😯 That is indeed a shock!

I’m looking forward to the Spain v Chile game tonight as Chile played us off the park last year at Wembley and the Spaniards will be nervous……

Will Holland continue the goal fest shortly, or will they prove to be a one hit wonder? You wonder if Robben will be fired up for mere Aussies!

I think Holland could get themselves some serious momentum going if they pummel Australia tonight. Spain Chile should be interesting too. I could see it being similar to Brazil Mexico last night

well if they did that to spain then it should be 23-0 today

Saying that the Dutch are unpredictable so I am going for a scrappy 2-1

I think holland will fizzle out come the knockout stages.

not really surprising, youse didn’t play bad. just maybe lacking enough guile.
