Billions on the stadium and the engineers still couldn't find a way to prevent that giant shade on the pitch?

The stadium wasn't engineered to have matches at 1pm.

 

[Sadist]

Switzerland putting up a good fight.

 

[Boss Mog]

Well after watching that I think it's safe to say that the Dutch are heading back to the final.

 

[Kandinsky]

This WC seems to be made for an underdog to take it, every big team is playing like shit wtf. Now I'm sad again.

D:

 

[Ingeniero]

Well after watching that I think it's safe to say that the Dutch are heading back to the final.

Yes probably.
And lose again.

 

[Boss Mog]

Yes probably.
And lose again.

Yes to France, hopefully.

 

[petran79]

Australia out, England out, Greece out

Switzerland only country with a cross in the flag

 

[NaM]

Well after watching that I think it's safe to say that the Dutch are heading back to the final.

Nope.

 

[Cellbomber]

No one would pay for it in the land of the free. ;p

Technically it's on cable tv here so they are. I think the national tv comment was similar to what we call over air/network tv. Not all games are aired on this.

 

[Kensuke]

Switzerland should have scored. You only get a few opportunities against the top teams. They're probably going to pay in the second half.

 

[Envelope]

switzerland plz, you could easily be up by two

 

[Diprosalic]

at least they don't style on us (...yet)

that's okay.

lol, either you skipped their match or you have short memory issues.
All the "big teams" had a hard time winning their games.

Is Romero really the best goalkeeper Argentina have? Don't they have a huge talent pool to choose from? Looks like Messi will have to carry this game again.

Our gov communist tv channel (YLE TV2) is showing all matches.

 

[ColossalLazy]

well I guess Messi will just show up in the end of the game with a goal

 

[Sidewinder]

My thoughts exactly, but that's how we often roll, miss huge opportunities and then get slaughtered later ;(

Univision shows all the games OTA, here at least.

 

[DukeBobby]

I knew this match would be boring as fuck.

Better second half pls

No. There are better even within our borders. But, he is having quite a good wc compared to his inability to hold a ball in the qualifiers.

The spectators on one side are probably thankful for it:

 

[cripterion]

Really? Every game is on National TV in the states. I thought Europeans liked soccer.

Just France selling their ass to Qatar. We can watch some games but if you wanna see all of them you gotta pay for Bein Sports. Same thing for basketball, I had ESPN before and motherfuckers took over and ESPN is no longer available here.

 

[alterno69]

that's okay.

Hopefully it won't be a Nehterlands vs Mexico again, Switzerland should be winning this.

 

[Cellbomber]

That's true, I didn't check them and wasn't sure what channels they offered without cable.

Bein Sports is the worst.

 

[alterno69]

Not to mention after the worldcup there won't be any games at this time of day again.

 

[cripterion]

Bein Sports is the worst.

No doubt, not paying for that shit.

Willy Caballero should've been there.

Well the sun moves so not much you can do about shade since the location will constantly change year round. My biggest flaw with this stadium is the upper tiers behind the goals. During night games it seems like the lights are in front of these seats leaving the sections extremely dark. It's almost like they are viewing from outside the stadium. Not sure if anyone else noticed this.

 

[Nemesis121]

The Swiss is parked at their goal yet Argentina is trying to pass the ball against all those red shirts lol...take some shots at the top of the box..

 

[CassSept]

I can't watch the game yet, how close was the first half?

 

[cripterion]

So how many occasions did the Swiss have? I only saw that fail where guy was alone vs the keeper.

they will wait until the 90th minute and then messi will take a shot.

Those are temporary seats for the World Cup so the stadium could fit more than its intended capacity of 48k.

The upper tiers behind the goals are temporary stands, this stadium is not finished (few people however died trying to get it finished in time )

 

[barit]

This match is boring so far. Need USA and the tears when they get kicked out today. *evil-grin*

 

[Roland1979]

messi is creating all the chances and other strikers are not scoring. its time for Messi to stop passing and start shooting himself

Messi is a play-maker. Without him there's not much play or creativity. So not many passes will reach him. But i don't completely disagree though.

 

[Firemind]

And people said Germany-Algeria was boring.

 

[TheOctodad]

And people said Germany-Algeria was boring.

They did? That game was awesome.

 

[ambientmystic]

Thread is moving at a glacial pace. I supposed it's due to a lack of USA GAF not posting enough Freedom gifs and pics everywhere.

Can't wait for the onslaught. And the tears.

Who said that?

Can't wait for the onslaught.

The current match being played isn't exactly helping either.

Americans of course.
