Cuba Gooding Jr on Netherlands bench?

Haha, now you mention it...

 

[Kiraly]

Dos Santos lol couldn't even make it at Barça

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Come on US guys, it gets hot here, but the humidy is not as high.

And all the sports I played we got water breaks, plus our games are sectioned nicely with breaks anyways.

Much of the south and Florida.

 

[sabertoothzombie]

So, who is playing better? I honestly can't tell.

 

[Ensirius]

What a display of the most boring football of the world cup from Holland.

 

[fuenf]

Too hot to sit in the sun... QATAR lol

do you really believe the Indian workers who'll be used to fill up the stadiums wont be chained to their chairs?

 

[Raven Prime]

Haha, now you mention it...

They look nothing like each other.

 

[Xater]

It's 50C under the sun at this time here in GCC (Qatar). Just imagine...

How many heatstrokes will we see?

 

[endre]

Sorry neutral viewers. Summer is 16 degrees and rain in the Netherlands. We can't cope with this.

I should move there...

 

[Garjon]

This ref has a fear of the colour yellow.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

/dead

Spoiler

because of heatstroke

Is this real or shopped? Looks like an episode of Fargo. (TV series)

World Cup qualifier in March of last year between the US and Costa Rica in Colorado.

There was actually a bit of controversy as the two captains met with the ref and mutally decided to continue the match under the conditions. Then when the US won 1-0, the CR football federation protested the result, saying the conditions were too poor and the match should've been halted.

Not from the South or Midwest?

 

[twothunder]

They just want this half to end...

 

[clemenx]

I need to see receipts. I don't think Europe viewership is that much higher that warrants this stupid start time, WC is global enough. Can't they find American sponsors? Jeez.

I'm sorry, this start time has had me so mad the whole tourney, noon start is inexcusable specially in a country like Brazil.

 

[Kiraly]

Haha that Dutch kid

 

[MrJustinius]

Mls does the same. Doesn't mean it produces good games

That particular match ended up as 3-2, but I see your point.

It was also plated later in the day than this game here and the sun is obviously having a huge effect.

 

[CoolOff]

Could be fun!

Ha, I remember this.

 

[PopeReal]

So on one hand my father's side of the family has Dutch heritage and Mexico is USA's rival. On the other hand Mexico is CONCACAF.

Who do I root for Gaf?

 

[GraveRobberX]

Only Soccer/Futbol can claim it's too hot we really do need a break to not kill themselves

NFL you have rest between every play, god forbid an instant replay is called, it's almost a 5 minute break
NBA you are in air conditioned arenas
MLB you get to rest up during the inning when your team is batting
NHL you have line switches to keep cycling player sin and out
Even in fucking Lacrosse you hold the ball for a little bit to rest up and adjust

 

[DrM]

Kuyt is looking like ripe tomato in the blazing sun

 

[Navy Bean]

Is it me or the Stadium is empty?

Nobody wants to sit in the sun. Shaded areas are full it seems.

 

[besada]

I was out hanging siding earlier, in almost identical weather conditions, and it sucked. After thirty minutes I was drenched.

 

[Sub_Level]

Dem chicas in the stands

4 minutes added

87 degree Fahrenheit

No items

Final destination

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

Florida

That no count . I assume there is water breaks down there. I've seen players drinking water between plays at Gator games, hehe.

Love that water gif.

U.S. sports often start around this time too, an a latter start time would be even worse for the asian markets.

 

[ColossalLazy]

loooooooool Robben dat acting

 

[Empty]

bad pass by rvp

that was the chance

 

[The perfect Dark]

Robben dive

 

[Joel Was Right]

Some marketing exec is cursing loudly that the bottle wasn't turned the other way.

A marketing exec that just got served his divorce papers. Kids hate him. About to lose his job.

 

[Thorakai]

could have been horrible

 

[gloomy]

Nice one robben

Edit. Did get caught up though

 

[CMojicaAce]

Christ...

 

[WAR recon zero]

Lol arjen

 

[Mobius 1]

Robben the master diver

 

[Markitron]

That drinks break woulda been handy for the Irish players in the Orlando games at USA '94. They were on the verge of melting after 25 mins

 

[kubus]

Robben how about scoring instead of diving

Edit: well that was a penalty though

 

[Tarkus]

Stop Neymarring Robben

 

[Juz]

Dutchies pls

Should've done better there

 

[Raven Prime]

Warning shots fired..

 

[Dr.Acula]

I went to the Jays game yesterday and sat in the sun and it was only 30 and I was getting killed. Arenas are bad in direct sunlight.

 

[zroid]

OI

 

[Overdoziz]

Edit: Maybe not

 

[macksplack]
