Watched yesterdays games again. Iran deserved a penalty and Bosnia got robbed a goal.

Stupid refs keep ruining this tournament.

 

[Fox318]

ESPN needs to stop with the broadcasters with the chanting.

 

[immortal-joe]

Portugal are pretty much out if they draw here right?

"Pretty much" yes, goal difference is pretty bad. Germany and USA are going through here.

 

[John Dunbar]

Japan better not get it again

Having it in 1994 and 2022 is cutting it fine already imo for an acceptable gap between hosting it, let alone 2002 and 2022

i don't think it's that important when it's a replacement host. it's all just about practicality at that point. that's why mexico hosted it in 1970 and then again in 1986.

 

[Uzzy]

Sounds like more british players should play in foreign leagues as opposed to it being a problem that foreigners are increasing in number in the domestic british league.

We'd need to improve our training methods for young kids for that to happen (and probably give more importance to foreign languages in school)

Slow process, but the FA are kinda doing something about it finally.

 

[illmatic24]

The game is 7 or 8 hours away and I'm already all jacked up. I need to figure out how to keep myself busy until then.

Also, being this excited kind of scares me. Whenever I really look forward to a sports game, my team usually loses. I'll just have to act like I don't really care that it's happening until the game begins. Superstitions ftw.

 

[Arkos]

So I'm thinking like 3-1 USA beats Portugal? We need to send in a goon to take out Ronaldo's knee

Watch any USA game of the last 10 years to calm down your enthusiasm again.

Go out and start fights with anyone Portuguese looking. It's a footballing tradition to fight with the opponent before the match.

 

[akaoni]

I don't know who I would like to win yet between POR and USA

 

[Blablurn]

USA USA USA

KLINSMANN!!!

JARRRR

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[Esch]

You want America to win, because in Civilization V we're underpowered and Portugal is overpowered.

 

[Fox318]

Good morning. Later today, players from the United States will join others from around Portugal, and they will be launching the largest sporting megaton in the history of mankind. Mankind. That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. The United States will once again be fighting for freedom. Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. They're fighting for their right to live. To exist. And should they win the day, the twenty-second of June will no longer be known as the day America cared about the World Cup, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: Football will not go quietly into the night! Football will not vanish without a fight! Football 's going to live on! Football's going to survive! Today we celebrate Portugal's elimination.

[immortal-joe]

USA can rest easy. Ronaldo is in bad shape, defense is severely compromised, and the attackers don't have a prayer. You'll win easily.

Just do the rest of us a favor and tone down the "Murrica" chants afterwards

 

[Hieberrr]

If only Canada was at the world cup :'(

 

[John Dunbar]

i hope portugal wins because it's the only chance germany gets eliminated. if portugal beats usa and ghana and then germany loses to usa that would be glorious. it's just a shame ghana would have to be sacrificed for the greater good.

 

[jey_16]

my perfect game would be Portugal win 1-0 from a dive in the penalty box in the 94th minute with Ronaldo scoring the penalty

i want the tears!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Rooting for US and Argentina the rest of way even though I'm really impartial. I just like the US as an underdog story and Argentina for Messi.

 

[Brashnir]

If the US wins, there will be no "toning down" tonight.

But if it makes you feel any better, plenty of us do it ironically as much as or more than we do it seriously.

 

[Fox318]

i don't think it's that important when it's a replacement host. it's all just about practicality at that point. that's why mexico hosted it in 1970 and then again in 1986.

The choice had more to do with the continent swapping.

North America hasn't had a world cup since 94 meanwhile before 2022 there will have been 3 Euro , 1 African, 1 Asian, and 1 South American world cups.


If we limit the federations to the bids then it leaves North America as a lock for 2026(Unless New Zealand Bids.

The Only nations I can see hosting the world cup are Canada, Mexico, and the US.

Canada is having the Women's world cup next year and Mexico has already hosted twice.

 

[iamjohn]

The World Cup is giving me the urge to buy Fifa 14. Should I do it?

I'd like to think the same about the "Ronaldo sucks" chants, but somehow I think I'm wrong about that one.

 

[ZZMitch]

[DerZuhälter]

Maybe I'm clueless, but who has the bigger burden winning this game / is the underdog?

Portugal, depending only on Ronaldo and suffering severe losses with Coentrao, Pepe and Almeida and having been slapped around by Germany?

Or the US who have won their first match against Ghana, who performed terrific against Germany?

 

[Esch]

I'd like to thank god. I'd like to thank my whole entire USMNT family, on both sides, yohwhatimsayin. I'd like to tell Dempsey to keep his guards up, we ridin with him. And one other thing i'd like to say. Any poster out there wanna be a team player, and wanna stay a team player, and don't wanna worry about some effete star all in the videos. All on the highlights. Crying. Come and root for the US men's national team

 

[SymbiantXenos]

To those concerned about the Portugese goal difference, don't worry. That'll be rectified tonight.

 

[Arkos]

Canada isn't even a real country

Wait for Fifa 15.

Portugal needs to win if they want to go to the next round. It will make the group way more interesting as well.

 

[NTIETS13A_Superiority]

Hoping for good games. Rooting for the russian lady.

OT: I have got two redirect ads today from neogaf (Edit: lol. speeddemosarchives. I wondered where all my sda openings went. s removed. lol.). Oldschool. On positive note, no virus alerts today.

Anyone know of a highlight of every goal so far? Or at least some.

America bringing this gangster shit. I loeve it.

 

[iamjohn]

Wait for Fifa 15.

That's the wise thing to do. But September seems so far away

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Lol , funny enough Muller already has 8 goal in 2 world cups , he should break the record cause he still young .

And Real Ronaldo had 8 goals in one World Cup with a Knee Injury.

Look at the level of skill and dexterity on display. If even one of our younglings can rek with such mastery, one should quake with fear and despair at what our trained male prime rib spartans can do.

Too bad our prime rib Spartans chose American football, basketball, and baseball.

 

[akaoni]

Worth mentioning Just Fontaine scored his 13 goals in 1 world cup in 1958 and that's the only World Cup he ever appeared in.
