So, what happened to the Costa Rica team that beat Italy and Uruguay?

 

[Raist]

Did that goalie just dive?

I'd say he bounced. Against Samaras who was getting a back-bearhug.

 

[Envelope]

Greece, it's time for a refresher on the offside rule~

 

[lord quas]

Salpingidis... well, that's an unfortunate surname.

 

[oti]

Greece deserves a goal.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Greece playing the better football.

FUCK IT

COME ON GREECE!

BELIEVE!!!!!!

 

[TheOddOne]

I feel ya bruh.

 

[Soul Beat]

Apparently this was Marquez's last game. (According to Univision)

Sad that he's leaving on such a bad note.

 

[Ela Hadrun]

does the defensive team not know offsides goes both ways?

 

[B-Dubs]

Greece 2014.

That's what we're going to be calling it after this World Cup is finished.

I'd rather die than see Greece win the Cup. Can we have someone exciting win this year? Spa in and their mindnumbing tiki taka won last time, let's have a fun final this time.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Greece playing like they want to win this... not bad!

 

[Guevara]

I feel ya bruh.

I put on face paint for this?

 

[Nemesis121]

This game is fucking boring, if i lived in Europe and had no interest in any of these teams i would be going to bed.

How's that salt taste?

 

[Ela Hadrun]

"only four minutes left to waste in regular time before the half! guys we can do this!"

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

FREE KICK

 

[SgtCobra]

Still 0-0?
I'm shocked I say, SHOCKED. Really, I thought Costa Rica got this.

 

[NomarTyme]

WOOOOOOOOOOO don't blow this chance Greece.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Feelin' good about this free kick...

 

[Submarino Conversível]

Greece is a disgrace to football

 

[Guamu]

This game is fucking boring, if i lived in Europe and had no interest in any of these teams i would be going to bed.

Univision commentators talking about past games...

 

[kiguel182]

I might be European but I have to side with Costa Rica on this one. Euro 2004 it's still too fresh in my memory.

Still, with the luck I've been having, it means Greece will probably win.

 

[Sub_Level]

So much for being peace walkers.

 

[ronito]

stupid mistake

 

[cilonen]

"only four minutes left to waste in regular time before the half! guys we can do this!"

We're going to get 120 mins of this aren't we.

Least thrilling penalty shootout ever.

 

[Xater]

This game is fucking boring, if i lived in Europe and had no interest in any of these teams i would be going to bed.

Still a bit too early for me but I am considering doing something else.

 

[soepje]

This game is fucking boring, if i lived in Europe and had no interest in any of these teams i would be going to bed.

It's tempting. In fact, i think i will watch the second half from bed

Hoping for a Holland - Costa Rica game the next round.

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Oh boy

 

[kamorra]

I am on the same boat, every time most people here complain about the way that Greece is playing... It is not like we are talking about very skilled/technical players and when you are like this you have to play defensively in order to stand a chance.
Italy has traditionally been a bigger team that was always playing defensive football, but I bet that fewer people would complain about them.

And besides Greece or Italy or whatever, how about Brazil? We are talking about god damn Brazil and they are playing by far the most boring football that I have seen from a big team. I can't believe how many things have change in 20 years for them, if it wasn't for their jerseys I could never tell that this is Brazil playing.

Watching Greece is usually boring indeed, but people should accept it and move on, if you don't like it there should be many better ways to spend your day.

wat
wat
Everyone still talks about catenaccio even if we didn't play like that for at least the last 10 years now. Why should we give teams a pass just because they are "not as skilled"? They qualified for the World Cup.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

So, what happened to the Costa Rica team that beat Italy and Uruguay?

They beat Italy playing like this with just a shade more intent. That win was more about Italy's non-performance than their own imo

 

[STILLethal]

NED-MEX cooling breaks were more exciting than this half...

 

[Courage]

We can safely say whoever goes through will get annihilated by the Dutch.

 

[maximum360]

So, what happened to the Costa Rica team that beat Italy and Uruguay?

This is my first time watching them this world cup. Not impressed by what I'm seeing so far.

They're looking so much like the USA did on Thursday.

 

[The perfect Dark]

We're going to get 120 mins of this aren't we.

Least thrilling penalty shootout ever.

60 minutes penalty shootout incoming

 

[TCRS]

it's only half time

[Kabouter]

I think that's what I'll do at halftime.

 

[oti]

Jesus, some anti-Greece posts here are pretty amazing.

 

[Sub_Level]

17 seconds changes the whole game

 

[Fox318]

 

[clemenx]

Seems to me Greece is way better unless Campbell touches it.

But lolol fuk Greece amirite.

 

[Acorn]

Someone should start a Mexican wave. This is the perfect game for it

 

[fuenf]

We can safely say whoever goes through will get annihilated by the Dutch.

maybe that's why they arent even trying to advance?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

We can safely say whoever goes through will get annihilated by the Dutch.

Holland were shit as well earlier

 

[kamorra]

I still wonder why so few seem to get that in football every country hates every other country.

 

[Star Falcon]

This is why a lot of people dont want Greece to progress.....tedious, negative football style. Sure it might win them matches, but not entertaining for a neutral.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

costa rica girl STAT

 

[Xater]

Seems to me Greece is way better unless Campbell touches it.

But lolol fuk Greece amirite.

They both play like shit but it's always the Greece games that end up like this.

LOL everyone booing this performance.

 

[nny]

NIL-NIL!
NIL-NIL!
NIL-NIL!

 

[Juicy Bob]

Boo-urns.

 

[fuenf]

BOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH
