FIFA WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

Yup, glad to see that, and it was well deserved. Sweden has a knack for thwarting a lot of top notch teams somehow, so a good result for sure !


On a funny note, the Swedes looked like sequoia trees draped with yellow jerseys, and yet England beats them in the air , twice , with headers goals !

Deli is 6,4 and McGuire is 6,3 so not small, and I thought Ali had a very quiet game until the goal


For work rate Jessie Linguard was my man of the match


And Pickford saved the day again, I'm glad the hosts were not knocked out by us, we might of had a few more Novachok incidents

True, a couple of tall lads . I just read that some hooligans trashed an IKEA store in celebration of the win - that's not just bad form, but entirely unnecessary ; IKEA furniture falls apart all by itself .

Should not laugh really, they are highly respected and well paid professional cheats, all of them no matter what country they are from


And you can only blame the officials for letting them get away with it all the time, if you like football and want to watch real players watch the ladies play!!

Definitely agreeing with the first statement . As for watching the ladies play, although they don't pull the kind of diving stunts / acting crap the men do, after watching many matches, including women's World Cup ( and now I'll sound sexist ) it's about as boring as it gets . No interest in that . Unlike women's tennis or volleyball which I find much more interesting and fast paced .

They will improve more and more, but I dont think they will ever be at the same level as the men


Unless we have a field full of women like Jamie Alexander

Now waiting for the disaster that will be Wednesday night as England get battered or go out on penalties

Modric is a pure magician and so composed it's crazy, but I expect Englad will rise to the occasion somehow and manage to pull off a victory . And although they do have a knack for losing in PKs , look at what happened in the last match ! A repeat is not unlikely, maybe they'll start a new trend , lol. But I'm afraid if they get to the final , either Belgium ( my pick from the beginning of the tournament ) or France will probably demolish them . Just look at the bright side Even being in the semis is a great accomplishment, in spite of the silly cartoons / caricatures the British media bombarded them with ( though they were funny ..). everything beyond that is icing on the cake.

I just watched a parallel or Greece winning the Euros ; completely outclassed and dominated 80 % of the match by a far superior team on every level, they ( France ) manages to win the match on a corner kick .. Not to mention horrible officiating biased against Belgium .

You noticed the bias then, the corruption has not left football yet

Yeah, disappointing result ( unless you're Croatian ) but in fairness, based on the second half it was an arguably deserved win for them ..  Kane was simply " non-existent "  regretfully  useless in this match. 

 

In any event, we all know that the World Cup will be won ( again !  ) by North Korea,  :glare:​ right now their media is preparing the announcements , newspaper articles,  posters, special effects videos, and the national team parade on Monday ; attendance is mandatory        :blink:

Best third place match I've seen in my lifetime . Both teams need a parade for having the motivation to,play at their best , when nothing is really at stake.

I will try and catch the highlights, but I believe we lost again to Belgium

The football ( soccer ) channel was showing some highlights from various games last year , including the Mannchester United vs. Young Boys one. ( for those who don't follow the game, " Young Boys " is the name of a team from Bern, in Switzerland's top league )


Interesting observation : the stadium was filled with Catholic priests . I don't think they were there to watch ManU. ... :-) :-)

Now that’s a wicked sense of humour, but quite possibly a true observation
