Is Robben on HGH? Why does he have more pace as he grows older?[/QUOTE]

That's not the point. When he was getting injured frequently, he was afraid to run.

Now that he has been in a stable phase, physically speaking, he can play more freely.

 

[AstroLad]

Normally I'd hate Mexico, but not today! Go and kick ass!

CONCACAF!

Although I'm cheering for my Mexican bros I won't be upset if either team goes through as they are both quite entertaining and deserving. Actually I wouldn't be upset if both teams went through. Go Cameroon too!

 

[Mohonky]

Don't worry Australia, You're still good at cricket.

Who cares, its cricket.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

UEFA slaying Concacaf. Now its up to Italy to send Uruguay packing.

 

[figadapaura]

lmao

 

[inky]

Spain went home with a bit of honor and pride intact

3- 0

Bwahahaha

Good one.

 

[Fersis]

Spain went home with a bit of honor and pride intact

3- 0

Wut? Nope, the world champ got bopped in the first round.
BOPPED, BOPPED I SAY!

 

[DukeBobby]

I hope I never see Ray Winstone's floating head again after this World Cup.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Spain go home with pride intact after failing to advance from the group stage and a 3-0 win against the mighty Australia.

 

[Fireblend]

CRO x MEX is gonna be brutal. Both deserve to go through, IMO, but I gotta stick with CONCAGAF brothers.

Go Mexico!

 

[SargerusBR]

yeah... look at this proud motherfucker.

Where's that other del Bosque gif?

 

[Altazor]

Sampaoli you stupid fuck! how you leave our team with such a hole in the defense?!

That fucking change...

It was a gamble and it failed. I thought we played well today, it a shame things didn't turn out in our favor. Sadly, I think the ref, deserved or not, contributed to our players' growing frustration.

 

[Kazerei]

Just watched the Spain vs Australia goals. Spain didn't even look like they were trying. I guess Australia was trying even less.

 

[Tugatrix]

yeah... look at this proud motherfucker.

grumpy old man

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Croatia you better win against Mexico!

 

[Oveja Negra]

Sampaoli you stupid fuck! how you leave our team with such a hole in the defense?!

That fucking change...

I think he did the right thing. A draw was going to be exactly as losing the game, I don't see the fuzz. Valdivia was meant to create more chances to score, it didn't end like that, oh well, next time.

The first goal was a chilean mistake, but the second one was a great playing from Holland.

They were better than us, period.

GOD BLESS THE NETHERLANDS

 

[SgtCobra]

Heads held high, boys. If we get Brazil, which is very likely, we'll give our all. Still ain't over.

Congrats to NED GAF!

Gracias hombre, ustedes pueden ganarle a Brazil, keep ya head up. I really didn't expdct this so my excitement is through the roof, and the axaggeration

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Adios Espana. You just weren't good enough for this world cup.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I rarely go with Mexico, but I hope they win.

Pónganle mexicanos!

 

[T Ghost]

So Netherlands, of all european teams, parking the bus, Mourinho style, to beat Chile. This is really a Bizarro world cup.

What we're gonna see next? Germany playing "jogo bonito"?

 

[S¡mon]

So, Holland got a total of 3 goals against their team... of which 2 were penalties. Nice.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Underdogs UEFA having a pretty good day so far. Can they withstand the might of CONCACAF later today though?

 

[bud]

van gaal tactically outclassed sampaoli today.

 

[inky]

Forgot to sub Mata in on my FT and he scores 8 points, lol. Welp.

 

[MarkMclovin]

I hope I never see Ray Winstone's floating head again after this World Cup.

Who ate all the pies!

 

[confuziz]

Depay for ballon d'or 2015 / 2016

eh, did you watch the 2010 final?

 

[Raist]

Bye, bitches!

 

[S¡mon]

Enjoy the match

 

[Kikarian]

yeah... look at this proud motherfucker.

I don't blame him. Telling tactics to Torres takes it out of you.

 

[KingJolly]

Bet you it feels hollow.

Wut? Nope, the world champ got bopped in the first round.
BOPPED, BOPPED I SAY!

Bwahahaha

Good one.

Spain can home with pride intact after failing to advance from the group stage and a 3-0 win against the mighty Australia.

You guys don't skip a beat, lol.

 

[Roland1979]

If a team manages to neutralize Robben, Holland is pretty harmless actually.

We will see if future rivals will figure it out.

Actually when you "neutralize him" in reality and not in theory you have wasted 3, 4 defenders on him, leaving plenty of room. But he is our strongest weapon. But it's all bench-wisdom.

 

[CurlySaysX]

I hope Chile have learnt that diving doesn't win you games, unless you are Italy.

 

[lastflowers]

Alexi Sanchez looks like a South American Joseph Gorden Levit

 

[snaffles]

Good tournament overall for Australia considering where the team was when Ange took over 8 months ago, but still a long way to go for this team to be competitive at this level. Hopefully with Kruse, Cahill, Kennedy in the team and a lot more composure at the back they put in a good show at the Asian Cup next year.

 

[TheOddOne]

GOD BLESS THE NETHERLANDS

Dat ref tho.

Nothing weird about it. They had the first place if they just drew, and didn't want to risk it too much. They played cynical football, but the kind that gets you the win.

 

[akaoni]

Van Gaal is the man, the only way I can see the Netherlands not winning the tournament is giving stupid fouls away, De Jong is a complete liability.

 

[T Ghost]

van gaal tactically outclassed sampaoli today.

No. Van Gaal ignored all Dutch tradition and shamelessly parked the bus. Worst part is that he had no options. Limited team.

 

[Talon]

The only way I can see the Netherlands not winning is that they're the Netherlands and will always let you down.

:|

 

[confuziz]

great ref today btw. might be one of the best so far.

 

[LNBL]

Dat ref tho.

Ref was excellent mate

 

[feel]

Dutch chick wiping boob sweat off her camera just now, what a world cup.

 

[His Majesty]

great ref today btw. might be one of the best so far.

True, he was a great referee for The Netherlands today.

 

[Sub_Level]

I was rooting for the Neds since I visited Amsterdam once and had good steak. Also, a guy on their team is called Dirk.

 

[Firemind]

Fuck off, Alexis Sanchez. That is all.

 

[T Ghost]

Classic European. And parking the bus is not classic Netherlands. Its is classic "I know overall my team is technically inferior."

 

[Pachael]

So, Holland got a total of 3 goals against their team... of which 2 were penalties. Nice.

And the other one will be highlights on Australia television screens for decades to come.

Bringing Bresh on really underlined the lack of depth in the team unfortunately. This time the opposite happened to the other two games - a great first 20 minutes and a rubbish other 70 minutes. Wahey?
