Haven't been posting in these threads despite watching pretty much all of the games daily.

Congrats to the Netherlands but Australia, you guys were fighting to the bitter end and that deserves so much respect. Can't wait to see what they do in 2018, but so far they look solid.

Hopefully the next two games today match the excitement of this one.
 
Ha, the ESPN guys are still talking about Ronaldo being a threat. I guess the news is pretty recent that he is out, but it is still sort of funny that I have better sports news from a gaming forum's off topic section than dedicated sports journalists.

GAF --> ESPN --> GAF

I've been trying to source for 30 minutes and all I got is the NBC article saying he shouldn't play...nothing that he is explicitly out except for those twitter accounts.

FYI, World Cup fans. RT @samcmlaird: Scary moment. #CHI fans just broke down a barrier and stormed stadium. https://vine.co/v/MTzKr6lqzvH
Dammit I hate this fucking mentality, it's the same shit at any big music/sporting event here in Venezuela. People just don't give a shit about what's right or wrong when in overwhelming numbers and just storm/loot/destroy/whatever.
 
This World Cup has been fantastic in showing there are no absolutes in this game. Countries that people have written off prematurely before the start of the cup have been fighting and that's great, even the Netherlands. Hope it CONCACAF continues to represent in the coming games.
 
Yikes, that was too close for comfort. Very happy with the three points, but damn.

Beautiful goal by Cahill. I wasn't even mad.

He's not out. That is just a Twitter rumor.

As i said earlier in the thread the only source seems to be a spanish tabloid.

Stadium is falling apart, it would seem.
 
Looks like Pepe only got 1 match, he'll be back for Ghana.

It's just a rumor that he's out, for now.

Well considering that GAF was loading crazy slow and not working for most of the time, I was skipping a lot of pages. Either way, I don't know if he should play. It seems really risky.

One of these things is not like the other.
 
Oh if only Australia were drawn in a shit tier group.

We'd probably already have 2 wins. :(
Yeah the seeding of this world cup is just bullshit, two/three groups of death, four groups of shite. The FIFA should put less emphasis on friendly matches when they create their ranking.
 
Just thinking about it, Asia have had a shocker of a tournament so far.

Australia played well but lost twice in a tough group.
Japan lost and played negative shit football for over an hour after going a goal up.
Same as above for South Korea except they managed a point against a shit Russia.
Iran scored a point but were horrendous in the worst game of the tournament so far.

CONCACAF confirmed better confederation.
