WE'RE SHIT.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Genuinely need a break from football because that match was so dire

fuck korea v algeria

conserving my mental energy from when USA fight for our freedoms against the tyranny of Ronaldo.

 

[Xpike]

Belgium are shit, it's not even Spain level in that they had control over the match, any decent team would've destroyed them by now. They're going to go out in Round of 16 by either USA or Germany.

 

[WarrenMax007]

Fuck this shit. I'm not even going to watch RUS v ALG. Every fucking time they are fucking disappointing.
Go Germany.

 

[KillerMan91]

It's hard to believe a country as large as Russia has never really had a football team that can really challenge, is there another major sport that's more popular there maybe? Euro 2008 aside have they ever really done anything major?

They played like shit in Sochi though.

 

[Pacbois]

Hmm idk, can't remember if Algeria really played shit against Belgium or if South Korea was that good vs Russia

Algeria put up a decent fight against Belgium and the Russian keeper gave the goal to SK...

 

[KingSnake]

On second thought, if Algeria beats SK they need just a draw against Russia in the last game to go further. Even an 1-1 against SK would be good for that.

 

[His Majesty]

Seriously???? HAHAHAHA. Oh boy. He's lucky he didn't get subbed instead of Mertens. He did jack shit for 87 minutes. Just like every other national match he played.

You don't sub Hazard because he can produce gold. And that's exactly what he did. He was terrible for 85 minutes but then set up two amazing attacks, which resulted in one goal. So he delivered. Again.

 

[WarrenMax007]

WE'RE SHIT.

At least you won, right?

 

[Acorn]

No more Henry on bbc

Silly MLS playing during WC

 

[Confrontation]

At least you won, right?

Yup, thank you based FIFA for your ridiculous ranking.

The Robert Green of this World Cup. Im gonna skip the next match and just gonna watch Return of the Jedi.

 

[Roland1979]

I recently watched a documentary on the 2010 WC and completely forgot how boring all of Spains games were

What is it named?

 

[spekkeh]

They played like shit in Sochi though.

There's only like six countries that play that professionally?

 

[mreddie]

Is anyone nervous about FOX getting the WC TV rights?

 

[Kurtofan]

I'm dreading the possibility that Russia might stick around in the tournament, this is some dreadful stuff.

 

[Timbuktu]

Does K-pop gaf not watch football? Expected a fairly big contingent of SK supporters here.

It was just a look back of the highlights, not really a documentary I suppose. Don't know what it was called it was on TV whilst I was browsing

 

[Tarkus]

No, they're coverage of sports is great. You can bet your ass they would be airing the US match tonight on locals.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Wow, the thread moved slowly. I think it might be the slowest it's moved during a match so far.

Ancelotti>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Capello

Again? Origi was more important than Hazard in that attack (also set up, stepping back), so "gold" i haven't seen. And when was the previous time he delivered? Don't tell me he produced gold against Algeria with his pass to Mertens, because that attack was set up by an amazing pass from Vertonghen. And the catalyst today was fresh man Mirallas. Maybe Wilmots should start considering using Hazard as supersub, as he does fuck-all the first 80 minutes anyway.

Don't dude don't.

They invaded last time, keep it quiet.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Still clueless as to why ABC is doing that. What, is local TV too expensive to preempt? You won't even have to cancel your crappy Sunday primetime!

 

[Scotch]

Soviet were pretty much constantly in the finales weren't they? Just kept losing that lol

That was only Euro Cups, though. Highest they ever got at the World Cup is fourth place.

 

[Afrikan]

OMG there are bugs on ESPN Reporter... Holy Shit they were big.

and he played it off fine....fuuuuuuuuuuk that!

[Envelope]

Time for cute Korean fans!

 

[snesfanboy]

the game sucked ass, and Belgium didn't deliver (like in the previous match)... but they are through to the 2nd round

teams that are supposedly better than Belgium like Spain and England already can go home

Argentinia played like a turd against against Iran, Messi didn't do shit... he only made a top goal and qualified Argentinia for the next round

so concluding : even if i was not satisfied with it (and that's an understatement) and Belgium only seemed to fire up the last 7 minutes, we are fucking through to the 2nd round, it only can get better...

BELIEVE!

 

[Arkos]

I'm pulling for time to skip forward 3 hours in this next match

 

[KxoZz]

Daaaamn Group G really got lucky with the Draw for Group H. Round of 16 is gonna be a cakewalk...

 

[LNBL]

HAHA Nigel de Jong immitating Balotelli when he puts on his training thingie

 

[Esch]

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

SK 1-0

 

[silver.tongue]

The fuck are those?! lol

I think it's a type of moth...

But then people can't watch Rising Star!

 

[Sviatoslav]

Go Algeria.

 

[ambientmystic]

Neutral for this upcoming match but looking for more goals than the previous one, at the very least lol.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Changed my mind for the next match. Think it will be a draw.

 

[Kurtofan]

Belgium taking a page out of Spain's book. Boring everyone to death, then when everyone including the opposing team is sound asleep, squeezing in a single goal.

Good tactic.

Belgium was crap, but Capello's Russia was more responsible for the snoozefest.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Thanks to GAF I can't unsee the facepalm every time I see the WC logo. lol

 

[artist]

LOL "deserve"

1-0

You missed the joke, quote my post again.

 

[LNBL]

Go Algeria.

You're russian right ? Why does Capello keep Dzagoev en Kerzhakov on the bench?

 

[mreddie]

Thanks to GAF I can't unsee the facepalm every time I see the WC logo. lol

And yet, so far, it's not the Facepalm Cup we thought it was gonna be.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Hahahaha fuck

 

[Arkos]

Thanks to GAF I can't unsee the facepalm every time I see the WC logo. lol

Bahaha I hadn't seen that, hilarious

I was lucky then. I only saw the last 10 minutes or so

 

[His Majesty]

Hope USA finishes second so Belgium can trash them again.

 

[Afrikan]

This was everyone's dark horse to win the tournament?

Anyways i want USA to beat Portugal but that means Ghana probably won't advance. Ideally it would have been great if both underdogs went to the next round.
Also please let Muntari play http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...tari-hands-out-money-to-poor-people-in-brazil

I'm sure he is the last person some would expect to do something like this...

one of the quotes in there.

I’ve lived in this poor community behind the Rei Pele Stadium for forty years but have never seen anything like this before. Not once has a soccer player come here. Brazil never gave me anything but Ghana did. I will support them up to the end.

there are some other ones..good read.

 

[lord quas]

Really looking forward to US - Portugal... I have absolutely no idea what to expect. This World Cup is amazing.
