That's insane! Still a stand up guy though. That paying for the surgery story is awesome. I feel bad for all the shit all I said about him during tonight's match.

Park Ji Sung's crotch made him completely rethink his life choices.

I threw together a webpage in which you can enter scores and check whether the US goes through. It might be a little bit easier.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Germany 3-0 and Portugal 2-0 would result in lots? Holy shit those scorelines aren't even that unrealistic. Although Portugal really seems to suck hard to think they could keep a clean sheet.

 

[jamesinclair]

Given how goofy this World Cup has been, it'd be fitting for it to come down to US and Portugal drawing straws.

USA and Ghana go through on straws!

 

[STILLethal]

I always think CR is going inside his head "wtf why isnt mine like that?"

 

[figadapaura]

Speaking as a straight lady, the ass quality this man is constantly surrounded by is extremely high. If he was impressed, doesn't mean he was interested. But if that's his angle, fucking good for him cause every day must be fucking candyland

you make a very valid point

Its just percentage of said things ooccurring, idk why they would show it in such way when a pie chart would be more than enough.

well uh i put in
usa 0 - 0 germany

[caesar]

Portugal 3-2 USA

 

[Tristam]

well uh i put in
usa 0 - 0 germany
ghana 9 - 1 portugal

and usa still advances??

Yup. A tie with Germany and Ghana could defeat Portugal 1000 to 0, but we would still advance.

 

[serenewarfare]

well uh i put in
usa 0 - 0 germany
ghana 9 - 1 portugal

and usa still advances??

Yes. A draw between US-Germany means both teams advance no matter what.

 

[alterno69]

well uh i put in
usa 0 - 0 germany
ghana 9 - 1 portugal

and usa still advances??

Well, five is more than four.

This actually let you see different combinationa as goal average matters not onlyu the outcome of the match.

Again where do people get those from, is there a site?

"Ronaldo cut his hair to match the scar of a young fan who had surgery to remove a brain tumor last week"

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/03/cristiano-ronaldo-operation-83000

Cristiano Ronaldo was asked to donate his cleats for a charity auction benefitting a 10-month-old child suffering from a brain disorder. The world’s top soccer player went a little further than that.

Ronaldo, the Real Madrid star who was Fifa’s Ballon d’Or winner as the world’s top player, will pay the full $83,000 cost of the surgery for young Erik Ortiz Cruz.

Erik suffers from cortical dysplasia, a condition that can lead to as many as 30 seizures a day. When the child came to Ronaldo’s attention, he offered to pay for the costly operation. In 2012, Ronaldo paid for cancer treatment for a nine-year-old and has been known to lend his time for other sick children.

I find it a bit funny how these types of posts come up in every thread where Ronaldo is being hated on. Is it supposed to sway opinions or something?

He is a whiny doucher on the pitch, so what if he is a good person off? You gotta separate the two. Most reasonable people don't hate Ronaldo the person off the pitch (who by all accounts is a decent guy), only the one on. Also there are many professional athletes who do the same for charity that Ronaldo does and don't get the publicity for it like Ronaldo does.

Yea i see why they would use this method, but it does seem like it will confuse some people when looking at it.

Aguero, why don't you save some of that for the game? Jeez.

 

[BeforeU]

How come Portugal wasn't excited after the last sec score? Even Ronaldo was like meh.

 

[DukeBobby]

I'll laugh myself into a coma if Cameroon beat Brazil by a couple of goals and Mexico and Croatia draw.

Ain't gonna happen in a million years, though.

 

[Tristam]

They're still in it, but only barely. It would take a miracle for them to advance.

Yea i agree, but there are people out there who equate his on-field with his off-field. For example, i have a cousin who says he isnt a great person because of how he does not celebrate goals with his team, but instead takes it for himself.

When you're (apparently) the 4th best team in the world, you don't leave a game with a draw against the US.

 

[Lkr]

makes me wonder why he couldn't just turn the ball over

 

[figadapaura]

How come Portugal wasn't excited after the last sec score? Even Ronaldo was like meh.

Because they didn't win and have the tiniest chance now to stay in the WC.

Not a lot to get excited about.

Ronaldo was also pissed off that his team mates are so shit.

Eduardo Eduardo Eduardo

for some reason, our stupid moron manager has a hard on for Rui Patricio (injured) and chose Beto today.

But Eduardo always has been solid for his national team.

Eduardo gave Portugal three clean sheets during the Group stage in 2010 and only conceded 1 lone goal to Spain in the KO phase

While Rui Patricio... pfffffffffff

 

[alterno69]

I'll laugh myself into a coma if Cameroon beat Brazil by a couple of goals and Mexico and Croatia draw.

Ain't gonna happen in a million years, though.

Even if Camerun wins by one goal, Brazil would be eliminated in that scenario, but have you seen Camerun? Never gonna happen.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

Where can I see more of these for other groups

They're all here.

 

[Pre]

One day this great land of liberty will once again produce decent centerbacks. We might even eventually be blessed with a real left back.

 

[Brashnir]

Even if Camerun wins by one goal, Brazil would be eliminated in that scenario, but have you seen Camerun? Never gonna happen.

If only Roger Milla had come out of retirement...

 

[Mr.Mike]

Hey Germany, did you know there are 50 million people in the US who's primary ancestry is German? Now I'm not saying that should influence your actions in your next game... but it's something to think about.

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762137.html

FAKE EDIT: There are 7 times as many Irish people in the US as there are people in Ireland. I wonder if St.Patricks day have anything to do about that?

 

[NoRéN]

and dempsey got a thread for his one move. lol

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Group A and Group G have the most variable number of scenarios. Gonna be tense as fuck.

 

[Sub_Level]

Thank you.

The odds are super against Portugal. Ghana has a frightening chance of bumping US out.

 

[potam]

Group A and Group G have the most variable number of scenarios. Gonna be tense as fuck.

nah B is where the real drama is:

 

[StopMakingSense]

Group A and Group G have the most variable number of scenarios. Gonna be tense as fuck.

Yeah super excited for Group A tomorrow. Mexico Croatia is going to be tense as fuck. As someone who only casually wants a Mexico win, really looking forward to the drama.

 

[figadapaura]

Catholicism.

 

[Espi]

yeah I guess it's a bit odd compared to american sports where our players will celebrate after a touchdown despite losing 35-6, or off a dunk down by 20 in the 4th.

 

[Sub_Level]

nah B is where the real drama is:

Gonna use vacation time for that one.

 

[Discotheque]

aside from the first US goal that was probably the best moment of the match for me.

<3

 

[alterno69]

It's gonna be a fucking tense game, i'm going to cry if Mexico loses tomorrow. We've had a good tournament but Croatia is such a puzzle, both of their games had many factors that make it hard to gauge their real level so far. Would be sad not to see Mexico go to the next round for the first time in decades.

I'm off to bed.

It mostly has to do with potatoes.

Anyone got a gif of Portugal's second goal celebration? lol

 

[figadapaura]

Yeah, we ran out.

Literally couldn't live without them.

Awesome stuff.

This makes me angry. The number of dumb people who spent the whole match making comments about the haircut was insane. Jeez.

 

[Clydefrog]

Mexicio Croatia is going to be so good. Ochoa

 

[StopMakingSense]

Also, with the weather, everyone was basically dead at the very end there.

 

[DukeBobby]

All joking aside, it's going to be a great match.

Tough one to call.
