I don't know why, but I think the match could end up like this

That episode was the in same day of Atletico de Madrid and Real Madrid Champion´s League Final and it was a pretty accurate portrait of it.

 

[Black Republican]

Jesus christ, if something happens, Brazil are going to be in deep shit.

"Please understand"

 

[snaffles]

Kruse would/could play the lone striker when Cahill hangs up the boots. He suits ange potegoglus (the managers) style better than Cahill (technically better with his feet and much much quicker. He plays in the budesliga and is only 24odd).

Also have taggert who came on for Cahill. He is 20 but lead the scoring for the a-league this year and will be in Europe soon.

Yes for sure, Kruse has come a long way from when he was first playing for Brisbane. I didn't think he was going to turn out being as good as he has. Taggart was really impressive for Newcastle this year too.

 

[Tetsuo9]

This is gonna be a bloodbath.

Tiki Taka has been bloodied time to finish the job chile. Please.

 

[Kurtofan]

Go Chile!

 

[Razor554]

Its time to show some magic of Alexis.

"They've revolutionised the game in today's society" :lol

Roberto Rojas.

"with a razor blade hidden in his glove".

What the fuck.

 

[John Dunbar]

i'm hoping a draw here. i don't want a quick kill. i want spain to squirm.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Crappy walls inside, wobbly stairs outside.

Stadium is falling apart, it would seem.

Guys, stop exagerrating the danger of the staircase. It looks perfectly safe.

Very, very stable.

Yea... I'd rather climb the hill next to the stairs than set a single foot on the stairs.

 

[macksplack]

Almost time for the next match.. now entertain us.

 

[silver.tongue]

"Please understand"

No no no... This is Brazil. People will just try to direct the blame at someone else for 10 years while the investigation happens until everyone forgets all about it.

Its more like "Please don't worry about it".

 

[pulga]

hai guyz remember me

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Casillas is so hot.

 

[IceCold]

Wait really? Why?

Because they push their bodies to the limit. A lot of them play through pain.

According to German commentators he had the lowest walking distance and the least ball contact of all players on the field (15 contacts in the first half) during the majority of the game, so it might mean something after all. He's not fit and it seems to show.

He's for sure not 100% fit. The only treatment that exists for what he has is rest. He needs to give his knee a break. La Liga + CL + WC is intense.

 

[gutter_trash]

Looks like Pepe only got 1 match, he'll be back for Ghana.

Looks like that Muller simulation kept to 1 match because he sprung straight up onto his two feet as if he never was hurt in his life

 

[FootballFan]

LOOOL who saw that ref getting his handshake rejected then doing the combing hair with hands thing lol.

 

[The007JiM]

Vamos Chile!

 

[Overdoziz]

Yes, I've always wanted to know Ali B's opinion about football.

 

[Pachael]

Oh if only Australia were drawn in a shit tier group.

We'd probably already have 2 wins.

I'd caution against too much optimism for these guys as they're clearly rebuilding the team coming down from a previously fairly good talent pool to something that's much emptier, and Ange's still fairly new to the role and is just starting to make his culture work in the national team, of which we'd get a better sense of his progress in next year's Asian Cup as well as the next Asia World Cup Qualifiers.

That said, talking about groups, despite the skill and experience differential between the teams I'd put money on this Australia 2014 WC side to spank the Australia 2010 WC side quite easily and make it out of that group (Ghana/Germany/Serbia).

Also three other things:
- Tim Cahill's always been a Jekyll and Hyde character whom I'll nonetheless sorely miss
- That was such a soft penalty call though I can understand why it was given, and
- The growing number of players which have originated from or are currently playing in the A-League speaks volumes of the quality of that competition and how far it has come.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Whoa Maracana is totally red.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Epic Chilean anthem.
Will stand for this one.

 

[feel]

ESPN is reporting that about 100 Chilean fans without tickets stormed into the Maracana and caused a ton of damage trying to get into the stadium.

FYI, World Cup fans. RT @samcmlaird: Scary moment. #CHI fans just broke down a barrier and stormed stadium. https://vine.co/v/MTzKr6lqzvH

I do think Kruse plays his best football as a right midfielder like he's been doing in Germany, but he's also a natural goalscorer and could work well as a striker.

Taggart also has plenty of promise for a 20 year old.

10/10, would nope.

 

[pulga]

Without Pique and Xavi mucking things up, Spain might actually have a chance to win this

 

[Raist]

There's 33 spanish players on that pitch. Hax.

 

[Xater]

Roberto Rojas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Rojas

Yeah that guy. I just wasn't sure how to spell the name. Incredible story.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Whoa Maracana is totally red.

Both teams have red home shirts.

 

[Herr K]

#VamosChileeeeeeeeeeee

La Roja gana hoy!

 

[spekkeh]

Casillas is so hot.

Yes, yes she is

 

[silver.tongue]

I hope people that actually bought tickets are not affected by this.
As for the hoolingans that invaded, I hope they are found and jailed until the end of the world cup.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Cahill´s voley was amazing. I am surprised that Australia only lost 3-2. Well done Aussies.

 

[willow ve]

Please Chile please.

 

[Sadist]

hai guyz remember me

Hhhhnnnnnggggg

Anyway, time for some humor.

Btw, go Chile!!!

 

[ColossalLazy]

Both teams have red home shirts.

Yeah I know. But I guess Chileans are the majority. Dat anthem.

 

[pulga]

pls dont explode your knee today vidal

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Am I the only one that thinks Chile's National Anthem sounds like a cartoon theme from the 60's?

Edit: HOLY FUCK, THAT CHILE HYPE.

 

[Xater]

Those Chileans are really loud.

 

[Santiako]

Vamos España. PODEMOS

 

[Hystzen]

People just jealous of Pique nailing Shakira

Spain look serious

 

[TheMan]

[Tetsuo9]
