god damn that penalty was bs.

tomorrow should be fun

 

[Wenger'sBakedBaguettes]

Spain - Netherlands should be great. Looking forward to it.

Tomorrow is Round 2:

Ribs were shattered that day.

 

[Seanspeed]

Scrappy game. I'd be upset at Brazil getting the advantage in the refereeing, but I think it was ultimately a deserved win.

Should be a cracking game.

 

[LNBL]

Guus Hiddink choosing Oscar's goal over Neymar's as highlight. Class.

 

[Baleoce]

Should be a cracking game.

*tips hat*

 

[Elchele]

Can't wait for Brazil vs México. I think that shit is going to be amazingly fun

 

[Kimaxe]

Ref please. I ripped my dick off, and it's only the first day.
I found the croatian game in the 2nd half nice. But goalkeepers were close to be lame in my opinion.

Tomorrow is Round 2:

i remember people cheering for and defending that team's "tactics" last world cup. disgusting

 

[Eternal Gamer]

I am really upset for that penalty, it shows clearly how the order to the arbiters is to open the way for Brazil and any other big team, to the finals.

I just remember feeling sorry for Howard Webb. What a clusterfuck of a match xD

it was a funny angle.

I remember the foul on Elia prior to Iniesta's goal. Still hurts

I feel like there's an edited version of this GIF somewhere with HP bars and a combo counter

thank fuck tiki-taka is finally dead, maybe Spain-Netherlands might actually be a good game

Tomorrow is Round 2:

Everytime I see this I cry a bit on the inside. De Jong (mobile spell check.....), while frequently brilliant, also is a destroyer that reduces my idealized love of Netherlands football that finally crystallized in that moment. As a young boy just getting into intl football and finding bergkamp and then later van nistelrooy, de jong shattered some of the illusion I held about Dutch play. Still, the Dutch and arsenal hold large sway in heart for the beginning of a love for football/soccer. All thanks to a beanie brought home by my father when he visited London many, many years ago.


EDIT: Mobile keyboard spell check makes these posts fun sometimes

 

[Liquidsnake]

Lol.

Tactics were almost spot on.

 

[Elchele]

what are you talking about? Spain is full tiki-taka

And they will win the competition

 

[Caode]

It was never a penalty, and a draw would've been a fair result.. but I couldn't ask for a better start to the World Cup.

 

[Big-E]

Real shame that the first game had so much focus on the officiating. Hope this tournament doesn't continue like this as it will tarnish the whole WC like everyone only remember the horseshit bribery in 2002.

 

[Perfect Blue]

This is Del Bosque we're talking about. You can bet tiki taka will be on prominent display tomorrow.

 

[Tecl0n]

They are gonna try to ressurect it.

 

[nacimento]

Well that's karma for Croatia cheating against Italy in 2002. Hope this bullshit ends here though. Would flooding FIFA with tweets help somehow? Guess not? lol

There's no karma for cheating against the inventors of cheating, the grandmasters.

 

[Desert_Turtle]

The OP made me scroll for at least 20 seconds

He made me READ all of it!!!!

much of the tactics were fine. Van Bommel and de jong went to far with the defensive mid tackling front.

 

[PrematureQuiche]

I did the same but only a pound. I should have believed more!

 

[nacimento]

Nothing more fitting than the national team being helped by the referee on the stadium of a club well known for also being helped by them.



/dead

Lol, keep being salty about the only brazilian club that ever stood for something important.

 

[Wenger'sBakedBaguettes]

There's definitely going to be tiki-taka tomorrow.

 

[Caode]

It was a free bet too, I feel all that better for it. That said I did stick €10 on the dutch to win the tournament hence me getting a few free bets from paddypower for that.

 

[DominoKid]

beautiful.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

The hit animation on the foot striking the chest is what makes this amazing. That attention to detail.

 

[ghst]

i need to find an orange shirt for tomorrow.

 

[lastflowers]

There's definitely going to be tiki-taka tomorrow.

It's day is done. I can't wait for Chile and Ned to get put out of the group instead of boring Spain.

Where do you guys do this? I'm feeling tempted.

 

[Broder Salsa]

There's so many places, that is from Paddypower (who for whatever reason restricts some countries... I can't bet on there from Denmark), but there's lots of other just as good sites like bet365 and so on.

 

[yellow submarine]

Not the most enjoyable game, especially the peno decision. Lots of casual fans were basically convinced that this is how all soccer games are, with all the diving and the rolling around. So that was lame.

But there were glimpses of skill from both teams that I enjoyed. Croatia were very strong, more than I was expecting. On to the next one!

 

[Caode]

Where do you guys do this? I'm feeling tempted.

I sent you a PM.

 

[Horseress]

Anyway, we won, the penalty was a mess but we would won anyway, Oscar was great today. Croatia is as strong as I thought they would be, 2nd place for sure

Can't wait for tomorrow,

 

[Sviatoslav]

Croatia manager unsurprisingly not pleased with the ref based on his post match quotes.

Congrats matey, Its always worth a little bet just in case .

 

[hoos30]

Flop of the year right there. Even Shane Battier gave that the screwface. Terrible.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Man, four days until our first match against Portugal......so far away....

we are getting ready for you guys

Just said that, if that's what the World Cup will be about, they might as well pack up and go home. Poor guy.

It must be so hard for the players to resist the temptation to just punch those corrupt refs in their fucking faces at times.

I still think Mexico will finish second. They've already gone 5 times in a row of finishing in the top 16.

 

[Mully]

Sloppy game. Croatia has had talent the past 10 years, but they've never been able to put it together. Brazil looks a little weak in the back.

Today's ref has a pretty punchable face too. Very hard to resist.

heh, I don't know what to expect, lol.

Spoiler

We will win
