So who's excited for Blatter/Platini's plans to expand the world cup roster to 40 teams? "Giving weaker teams a chance to compete and improve".

Yes, I mean weaker than Iran and Nigera.

There are a lot of quality teams that didn't make the WC: Poland, Sweden, Denmark...

 

[Black Republican]

think i might order some pizza for the usa v ghana game, anyone with me?

 

[Horseress]

Beasly, still love him from his PSV time. Predict 5 goals from him.

Also, Iran just won 1 point and Nigeria lost 2

and I lost a few hours of my life. Everybody lost

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

The fact that the US game isn't even on abc really says it all. I mean wow no fucks given.

 

[OgaKratos]

Nigeria in trouble now. Argentina and Bosnia won't be this easy.

Holy crap. I didn't realize it was that bad.

How is that possible?

 

[PsychBat!]

Next match will clearly be the most exciting match of the day.

 

[The Chosen One]

Ugh, awful game. I'm immediately going to blow-torch this game off my DVR.

 

[Tugatrix]

Next Murica and Ghana

 

[Envelope]

I hope you all realize that USA - Ghana is going to be just as boring

 

[Jal]

World Cup goal quota has been maxed out, that's it we're done here.

 

[spekkeh]

This is why the Euro Cup is better than World Cup. Less chance of shitty teams playing.

Or at least it was but probably will not now that they will have 24 teams for Euro instead of usual 16.

Yeah almost every euro game is God tier. Though it's also over so quickly, so in that respect world cup is better.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Holy shit that was amazing. Nonstop, action. A real defensive showcase. Woo! I hope we get more of THAT. PEACE.

 

[Clydefrog]

the best part about having the world cup in Brazil is, even if you went to that Iran - Nigeria game, you get to leave the stadium and you're in Brazil

 

[Anoregon]

Here's hoping that Ghana plays similarly to Nigeria tonight ^_^

 

[Baleoce]

Congrats to Iran, cos that's a very decent result for them. But Nigeria were really, really poor.

 

[Altazor]

OT2| I Ran to Bring Back the Goals, but failed.

 

[Azuran]

AFC and CAF boring the hell out of the world. Color me surprised.

At least CONCACAF teams keep things interesting.

Ugh... don't event talk about it...

 

[Abraxas]

Fuck me, that was dreadful. At least we get to see ghana put 6 past the US now.

 

[ndiicm]

WP Iranian and Nigerian fans. Nigeria and Iran tie for Second Place in the group. That was a good game few.. well only one yellow I saw. No bitc h fits like pepe's. Good Job guys.

 

[Maintenance]

Ghana vs USA better have 6 goals to fill the gap from this match.

Spoiler

4-2 Ghana.

 

[LuuKyK]

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Thanks a lot for ruining our perfect WC.

 

[Lkr]

@GrantWahl: USA: Howard, Bradley, Besler, Beasley, Dempsey, Bedoya, Jones, Beckerman, Altidore, Cameron, Johnson

Dempsey or Howard captaining tonight?

 

[OgaKratos]

What part of "Give us a goal" did they not understand?

 

[Hixx]

HE'S JOZY ALTIDORE
YOU KNOW HE'S GONNA SCORE
WE'LL GO WILD WILD WILD

[Jeff-DSA]

The only way that game could have been worse is if someone had drawn a penalty kick and sent it high over the crossbar.

 

[dani_dc]

Queiroz is very happy with the result against "a great team".

MOTM goes to the camera man

That's some amazing work by the camera man. Awesome effort.

 

[Kinyou]

Argentina will beat Germany don't worry

How dare you...

 

[inky]

Wasn't it based on FIFA ranking? Or is that only in the qualifiers?

It goes like this:

5.
The ranking of each team in each group shall be determined as follows:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their
rankings shall be determined as follows:

d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the
teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams
concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams
concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee

 

[Last Uchiha]

that was a great, hard fought, exciting game.

 

[Chaotix]

USA! USA! USA!

 

[B-Dubs]

None of today's games were on ABC. They only show weekend games.

 

[Bold One]

boooooooooooooooooo!

 

[kingkitty]

How is that possible?

ABC can't afford to preempt Dr.Phil and the local news.

 

[gutshot]

The fact that the US game isn't even on abc really says it all. I mean wow no fucks given.

That means nothing, really. Lots of huge NFL and NBA games air on ESPN too.

Most skilful shot of the match.

 

[Chipotle]

Is that the first shit game?

 

[luso]

There are a lot of quality teams that didn't make the WC: Poland, Sweden, Denmark...

But the idea is to give more places to mostly other federations, Asia, Africa, Oceanis

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Duck it Nigeria I wagered all of my Cup winning on you pack of arseholes. I'm not betting on USA because my Africa belief is gone. This will burn me and I'll be double pissed at you Nigeria

 

[FootballFan]

Boooooooooooooo

Go Bosnia and argentina

 

[Lkr]

That means nothing, really. Lots of huge NFL and NBA games air on ESPN too.

ESPN only has MNF. I hardly consider that "huge" now that SNF has the bigger matchup

 

[Ikuu]

Lennon has no problem talking about his former players weaknesses, lol.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

It's a shame North Korea isn't here. Their "fans" they brought in 2010 were great.

Could you give me a quick run down? I remember reading about the NK fans being bought but that was it. What do you mean by "they were great". What happened exactly?

 

[gutter_trash]

please Ghana and USA, entertain us!!!

Spoiler

to a draw

 

[Mister0079]

I apologize on behalf of Iran. we knew this was gonna happen but still held hope for some miracle. fuck our team.

 

[The Chosen One]

Nigeria in trouble now. Argentina and Bosnia won't be this easy.

I wouldn't call this easy. Iran put 9-10 players behind the ball and literally did aimless long-balls on many occasions with no intentions of building up an attack. There just wasn't any seams or open space for Nigeria to work with.

I imagine against Bosnia and Argentina, those teams will actually try to put together a legitimate attack, which should open things up for Nigeria.

That said, Nigeria has to improve their execution in the final third by leaps and bounds.

 

[Mesousa]

I hope you all realize that USA - Ghana is going to be just as boring

Doubt it.

Of course USA will park the bus like the cowards they are, but Ghana has the quality to easily break it a part. Keep your eye on atsu. Kid is brilliant.
