welcome to our lovely latin american world cup. feeling the pressure europe? this is on a whole new level.

that was pretty much the call last cup as well. Then all the latin american teams failed the second they hit knockouts.

Not saying that's happening now, but you know, don't get too cocky before knockout football. Germany, NL, France, switzerland and italy haven't wobbled at all.

The main shocker is spain and while Chile sent them packing, the writing was on the wall after the dutch game. And well england got beaten. But when DONT england get beaten in the world cup?

Seems par for the course so far apart from the spain shocker.

Portugal imploded, but they got straight wrecked by Germany.
If NL can't win this, then I'm all for a Latin American team taking it, but calls of latin american domination are waaaay to early.

The Dutch/Chile game will be a much better indication of things to come IMO. if chile take em down, well then, full credit to the other side of the water, but not before.
 
Its impossible in that, if Italy win tomorrow, they will rest some players, especially the older guys like Pirlo and wont give a shit

Italy is the last country that will be doing England any favors
The Uruguay/Italy game would be for first place in the group if Italy win tomorrow. A Uruguay win would put them ahead. So I think Italy will still feel like they have something to play for.

I'm not that shook on Colombia and I don't think Italy is either so it isn't the end of the world even if Italy have to play them, although avoiding a south american team would probably be a good idea right about now. Italy will want to win these next two games. Don't think we will see much resting of players.
 
So that Ivory coast player was not crying for his deceased father ( who passed away in 2004) but because of his pride for his country. That's what he said on Instagram
 
how is England not eliminated if they have 2 losses?
 
Let's go Japan!


If only the team was half as good as Konami makes them out be in Winning Eleven. Should still be more than enough for Greece.
 
Nah.

2 reasons:

1. Compared to England Germany actually has quite a lot of German players in the top clubs. Also, calling England "No. 2" football league on this world doesn't exactly mirror their success in the Champions League. Spain/Germany tied for first place, England/Italy tied for 3rd place

2. Compared to Spain in this tournament Germany actually has a working team unlike Spain, German team worked together almost flawlessly against Portugal. Spains "offence" and "defence" didn't work together for shit (hesitant to even call that swiss cheese a defence and that dull blade an offence), with the result that nothing in Spain's play worked at all.

Please don't compare these travesties of a team to the German National Team,
this is borderline insulting.

Reposted for muh visibility

Well I am German but this is embarassing. Also dont forget that a lot of the best german players are either injured (Guendogan, Reus) or not in their best form at the momen t(Schweinsteiger, now Hummels) . A lot can still happen.
 
That isn't how I remember 98

We support Murray :(
because we have no one else.

To be fair according to some random poll I saw England were the most supported team by Scots, with 20% supporting them and only 5% supporting "Anyone but England".
 
England, man. But like I said, they always let you down.

I've enjoyed the World Cup and this thread up to this point but I don't think I'll be watching anymore.

Congrats UruguayGaf.
