It's not like most people thought beforehand that the opponent to evade was the one not playing at that time.
Last matches are at the same time, so Spain are playing as well.

But to be honest, if you give FIFA the benefit of the doubt these times might be because 17:00 is a better time to watch in Brazil than 13:00, and 13:00 is 18:00 in the Netherlands/Spain. It's just that it's FIFA.
 

Daft that some England fans are making an issue out of this. As an English guy, I'd never begrudge a scot celebrating our football team getting dumped out of the world cup. I'd do exactly the same if Scotland get to a world cup at some point. Rivalry is what makes sport such a great thing, got to have that passion behind it.

On England, utter shite as usual but hopefully this latest failure will start getting through to our press and more deluded fan base. England have been shit for decades, even the basics of the game seem beyond our 'world class' stars. Passing, keeping the ball, our team seems incapable of these things half the time. Maybe the daft hype from the press before each major tournament will finally stop.

i understand and embrace the post colonial grudge, but the other british isles teams always get a lot of support in england whenever they qualify for big tournaments.
 
Did ribery actually do anything for bayern this season? Seems like he went to shit after ronaldo won the ballon d'or instead of him.

That's what many think, but reality is, that he suffers from pain in his spinal disc for months now. Injury started in winter and he came to the point where it needs a surgery. Explains his performance.
This France team plays better without Ribery.

Even Iran wins 3-0 against Honduras.
 
So...

Group A
Brazil - Cameroon 23 Jun 2014 - 17:00 Local time

Group B
Netherlands - Chile 23 Jun 2014 - 13:00 Local time

Fucking FIFA , Are you serious? This WC is FUCKING RIGGED!!!
Think I read somewhere that Brazil's game was moved to the later time slot so the locals could make it home from work instead of taking half a day off.

People here will never accept this, but this is the truth.

If you put a Brazil game at 1PM local time, you pretty much have to declare a holliday.
At the 4PM time slot people usually work until mid-day, before going home to watch the game.

.

why dont you tell the truth baby

'spinal surgery'

he injured his friggin asshole
 
My "Power Ranking" so far:

1- Germany
2- Colombia
3- Holland
4- Brazil
5- Chile
6- France
7- Italy
8- Argentina
9- Croatia
10- Mexico

I'm sure I'll place France higher after today.
 
Brazil at 4 and France before Italy? LOL

It's a tough call because France and Italy have only played once and it was against weaker opponentes (sorry brit, gaf). I did mention I expect France to be higher after today. Unlike most, I think they have a really dangerous team.

Edit: I also think this Brazil teams reminds me a bit of 1994 Brazil... A team that doesn't play all that great but take little risks on defense, difference beeing that 1994 Brazil had Romario and Bebeto to make sure we won by 1x0 or something.
