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

What are you talking about? That isn't how TV works. All weekday games are on ESPN.

 

[Spongebob]

fuck, the World Cup is already over for us (Nigeria)

 

[toweringinferno]

Shocking only Ghana losing will give me joy

 

[mreddie]

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

Lord knows all the Bachelor fans they might piss off if they preempt it over the game.

 

[Kinyou]

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?

Didn't some of their players run away?

 

[Barzul]

Not sure who to support in Ghana vs USA. On the one hand I'm Nigerian and have several Ghanaian friends on the other, I've lived in the US for 5 years. As long better than the shit I just had to force myself through, I'll take it, whoever wins.

 

[East Lake]

Estados Unidoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos

 

[gutter_trash]

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

and we apologize that our Carlos Queiroz is your manger.

Spoiler

He is too defensive oriented

 

[cripterion]

So all games without goals are considered shit? I understand having a game with lots of goals is thrilling but people can't always score...

Good man.

Welcome to the corporate states of America where everything is for sell. In the countries I have been to the games are delivered free on public TV.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Alright lets go boys. Lets not make it 3 in a row vs Ghana.

 

[LNBL]

Never gonna bet on Nigeria. Again.

The list i've created through the years for myself

Never bet on Portsmouth
Never bet on Turkish clubs
Never bet on Eredivisie
Never bet on Ligue 2
Add never bet on Nigeria

 

[Phatmac]

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!!

 

[kingkitty]

USA is going to spread freedom on that field.

[Joel Was Right]

Nigeria has failed us.

LET'S GO GHANA.

[confuziz]

Altidore instead of johansson :x

 

[shwimpy]

LOL. nice title.

US cunt fans put me right off, the chelsea of international football.

 

[CelticKnight]

Is Asamoah Gyan still tearing it up out in the Middle East these days?

 

[Jayayess1190]

USAUSAUSA

Beat down on Ghana up next!

 

[Mory Dunz]

Altidore instead of johansson :x

You didn't think he would get benched right after scoring right?

 

[OgaKratos]

This was different. Nigeria had opportunities but were consistently poor in their finishing.

 

[Irnbru]

Don't forgot to add, never bet DBZ.

Agreed.

 

[Hixx]

Altidore instead of johansson :x

Jozy is a big game player.

He brought down Mourinho's Chelsea home record with a beautiful bit of play. He is peerless.

#USAwc2015

no joke the women probably will win next year

 

[gutshot]

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

MNF is still pretty huge no matter how you slice it. Plus ESPN will get an NFL playoff game this upcoming season. The overall trend is that sports are increasingly moving to or staying on cable nets.

 

[Bold One]

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.

totally spot on, weird watching everyone scold Nigera while Iran gets patted on the back for parking a Cruise liner in front of goal

There are entertaining 0-0 matches, this wasn't one of them.

Yuuuuuuup. Late sub most likely? Haven't watched a ton of football since my playing days so my knowledge about the current team is not the best.

 

[Pacbois]

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.

eeeeeeeeeeeeh

 

[confuziz]

2 goals in 6 months..

 

[LuuKyK]

It wasnt shit because no one scored. Both teams were downright awful.

Thank god the FIFA camera-men saved us all from the the snooze fest with some quality footage that resulted in amazing gifs. Only redeeming factor of this match really.

 

[Derp1na]

Is Asamoah Gyan still tearing it up out in the Middle East these days?

Yeah. His record for Ghana has improved since he made the move.

Well Greece won Euro 2004 by playing like Iran today.

Edit: beaten.

 

[macksplack]

I hope Ghana plays better than Nigeria.

 

[trixx]

the title is killing me

 

[Haunted]

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

Too bad they wouldn't really benefit. The 8 new spots are planned like this:

2 for CAF (Africa)
2 for AFC (Asia)
1 for OFC (Oceania)
2 for CONCACAF/CONMEBOL
1 for UEFA

 

[bone_and_sinew]

I actually did sleep through it!

But I was also drifting in and out of sleep of Germany's dismantling of Portugal, not due to boredom but because it was early for me. I'm going to have to rewatch that one to enjoy it.

 

[Judderman]

Agreed.

Dat salt.

 

[Altazor]

Jozy is a big game player.

He brought down Mourinho's Chelsea home record with a beautiful bit of play. He is peerless.

and for that, I am absolutely grateful.

I left at half time..

Seriously Iran-Nigeria? You guys had to go and ruin it and give us the first 0-0 draw.

smh

 

[Black Republican]

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

i will say your guys had alot of class on the field though
