If all else fails radio isn't too bad IMO. I've had some awesome times listening to radio matches of exciting games in the car, of course the announcer has to be good.
all i can think of is awful blues and roots music

this guy was so bad in the Germany game. if you watch him, whenever he gets the ball, all he does is run around in circle of it, then passes it back. THAT"S ALL HE DOES.
he doesn't pass it forward, doesn't try to dribble. get a touch, and pass. done

You would have also seen attempted murder being committed right before your eyes. Makes Suarez's actions look like a joke in comparison.
Yeah but check out his wife

That was a pretty fucked up world cup by us (Germany). First that scandalous game in Gijon against Austria and then Schumacher's assassination attempt in the Semi-final.
Those games were the reason my dad stopped watching football for a very long time.
I'm glad we have a much more sympathetic team right now. Although they may lack the killer instinct of their predecessors.

So maybe posted in here but Mauricio Pinilla the guy who missed the final penalty for Chile got some interesting ink done. And yes sadly this is real. What a fucking moron. I don't even find the "Blessed" "For Life" tattoos on his friggen face to be the worst part, but the "centimeter from glory" tagline is the funny part. Someone remind this guy it was the round of 16 and not the cup finals. Glory lol. So embarrassing.
This guy is a tit. All he does is foul, he is de jong without talent.
Well, he's there to destroy the opponents play, not create tho. Basically: stick a leg out, be rough, be a foul magnet, run a lot and prevent good play from others. Some coaches love players like him.

I just noticed that Pierre Littbarski looks like Ryan Gosling from the 80s.

The entire Chile squad had some of the worst tattoos I've ever seen. Some dude had the Jordan symbol on his neck. They all looked like d-bags.

I'm looking at Batotelli's flying tiger knee as well. Looks very similar to Schumacher's flying knee too. Both are allegedly "going for the ball".
Yes, it was a horrible foul and it's ridiculous that the ref didn't see it.
Damn, as an American I have to agree with both of these assessments. For me the worst player on our side except for perhaps Bradley. (Bradley is a much bigger disappointment because I've seen him play quite well over the years. He's totally fucking up this WC though.)
Beautiful wife, though.

Yah Vargas lol. I think he has the Nike logo on him too but might be someone else. The team has some really bad ink. These kinds of tattoos are popular in Chile among certain groups.
Sometimes you need a player that does that. Sits in the midfield and offers a good tactical foul here and there and looks to break up a move or two. England could have done with Gareth Barry -- they tried to play Jordan Henderson in a role like this and it was a colossal failure. The fact that Germany were pressing so hard didn't help Beckerman though. Usually a player might have a little more time to decide what happens next.

the chile squad looks like a prison gang
Bradley was good when I saw him at roma, he hasn't been great this WC but I think some of the shit he gets is ott compared to beckerman who has no discernible talent aside from kicking people.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Atlanta Braves just announced they are opening Turner Field early so people can watch the match on the big screen before the game!

How many viewers you think this game will get? Will it bust records wide open?
Puts the 'let's ban Suarez for life' into perspective...

Pinilla was the guy who hit the crossbar just before extra time was over. He failed to score his penalty as well I think when he was first to take for Chile. Not the same guy that missed the final penalty.
Bradley has been godawful. He has been, by far, the worst player on the pitch in 2 of our 3 games and in the other had a massive giveaway (I can forgive the ball being cleared off the line although he really should have scored there).
Beckerman has a 90.2% pass completion rate and has recovered nearly 5 balls a game. He has 7 tackles which is tops on the US and also has 7 interceptions. I want my defensive midfielders to foul. Break up the game, stop a move if you need to. He's actually had 1 less foul than Bradley and Jones btw (they're on 7, he's on 6). Not a great player by any means, but within his role, he has been very effective.
lol yeah, I really like their team, great technique, but most of them looked like a bunch of drug dealers.
All except my man Gutiérrez, that is. Please don't leave Twente.

Well, with Mexico out, I think a lot of Mexicans in the USA are going to be cheering on USA as a back up team.
Edit . . . they need to add the ESPN and Univision numbers together. I watch the games on Univision.
Really? I thought it was that Zusi guy, dude was constantly fuckin' up and making awful passes.
Zusi has been nowhere close to the worst player on the team. The guy plays solid both ways. He has been decidedly mediocre (meaning not fucking up) and has several assists.
Bradley is either by his own choice or from instruction by klinsmann just covering too much ground. You can't play box to box in this heat.At the end of the group stage Bradley had ran the most of all players and they played in some of the hottest weather. I think Bradley would be better suited to play deeper and not have to attack as hard. He has been the most effective with long passes it seems.
Chau chau chau le le le Chau Chile.

Lol oh please. You've really let this get to your head, haven't you? Costa Rica will always be underdogs. Deal with it.
Probably posted. South Korean team being "welcomed" back to South Korea:

Are you confusing him with Beckerman? Zusi isn't an amazing player by any means but he has been more or less solid in his role. In addition, he assisted both the winning goal against Ghana and Dempsey's goal against Portugal.
Oh damn, the 엿 먹어 shade. It has a somewhat interesting history.
They did their best, but this is the worst WC team Korea has fielded in decades. Son, Lee Chung-Yong, and Ki Sung-Yueng are bright spots in a sea of mediocrity. They have strong youth talent though, so I expect a good showing from them in Russia.

At least I know they'll be good games.
Rooting for the Red Devils tomorrow, and all my hope is riding on Courtois. Belgium has never lost a game with him as keeper, plus he hasn't let in any non-penalty goals this entire tournament. That said, I'm a little scared of USA's team. If the game is taken to penalties, I think the US could take it.
Either way, should be an exciting game! I'll be in the only person in Los Angeles tomorrow wearing the Belgian colours.
