1) Football. Not soccer.

2) 8 groups. 4 teams per group. 2 best in each group qualify for round of 16.

3) Fifa dosen`t allow for video checking, so referees make mistakes and people rage a lot.

4) Uruguay was not supposed to lose to Costa Rica. Thats what makes this so fucking good.

the first thing any new fan can do is ignore this bullshit.

 

[TheAbsolution]

It's perfectly fine to call it soccer.
Don't let people bully you.

Didn't say I wasn't.
Who's rooting for what in this next matchup?

 

[RoySFNR]

Not derailing at all. Reading about PSV's demise and missed chances is always good fun.

I'd still rather miss out on some big players than pick up Sulejmani for 16 million

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

dude gets injured days before the WC and has to sit there watch their team lose without being able to do anything

I get it lol suarez, but think about it for a minute

He's pretty patriotic too, I feel bad for him

Then again his teammates completely failed him.

 

[krYlon]

The goals are what make it accessible to 99% of fans. There's nothing pure about no goals. I'm not even sure how having no goals could even be considered 'pure'. Does not compute

I'm not saying there should be no goals at all lol, but i think a lot of teams have panicked in their opening matches

Are you trying to make me feel bad for him? lol, I'm afraid any sadness or tears from Suarez only gets the average person (as in not Uruguay or Liverpool supporters) happy.

I'm with you Salsa. I don't like sad Luis.

Voyeur Wenger don't care

Omg these pics, my eyes

Everyone is rooting for England of course.

 

[Son_of_Dracula]

I'm seeing a lot of 3s lately. Brazil, Chile, Costa rica, Colombia, (Mexico could've joined the club with 1 + 2 cancelled goals).

 

[painey]

here we fucking go, lads!

 

[VE3TRO]

Loud noises Suarez.

 

[jett]

I thought this was starting right now. What's up with the schedule.

 

[kamorra]

the first thing any new fan can do is ignore this bullshit.

Sure if he lives in the US and is fan for four weeks every four years.

 

[Betty]

I really hope a bee wanders into the studio and stings Adrian Chiles.

C'MON ENGLAND

 

[brokenbeans]

Rooney fatrick incoming.

 

[noal]

James Milner. Please leave your toothbrush at the hotel and have to go back and get it. While you're there you'll bump into Bryan Robson who will put you in a choke hold and then show you what a real lionheart plays like.

This post was brought to you by Carlsberg and WKD.

 

[Judderman]

Absolutely. I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

 

[Tugatrix]

Porto fans are forgetting Pepe, Bruno Alves and Jorge Costa. I don't call them typical Porto scum, but that is a difference between Benfica Fans and Porto Fans, civility

 

[RELAYER]

Root for Engerland.
They are funnier.

Does anyone know how to get games streamed live on their iPhone/iPad?? (iOS 7)

Love to have the ability to watch them while on the go, Canada here.

It's a good schedule man. Give people breaks in between to get shit done.

 

[FootballFan]

I'm online FF.

Coming.

 

[Cess007]

Still my favourite world cup match ever, even though it was goalless in normal time.

There have been too many goals in this world cup so far. The defences have been shit. And most teams have played like headless chickens, without control or shape. I guess I'm a purist lol

"Did you know... there are three kinds of fans? Those who seek the glory of the victory. Those who live for thrill of the goal. And those who can read the tide a match. Those are the three"

 

[SargerusBR]

<3 Colombia

 

[Konosuke]

Hey easy on there, he on Benfica is much more controlled and avoid this kind of things

He didn't get a single red card this season for Benfica.

Edit: Oh, Porto fan. Sorry about this season

Are both of you serious? The last what, 5 games, that Benfica did at the end of the season, 3 of them you guys ended up winning with 10 or even 9 players on the field. And everyone was gloating about "Even with 10 players we can't lose lolololol". Markovic or wtv didn't play the Europa League final because he behaved like an idiot. You guys just have that thug mentality in you and gloat about it.

Maxi Pereira gets away with things like that regularly in the Portuguese League. It´s so fucking ridiculous that on the video of Benfica´s celebration of the League title, one of his team mates asked how the fuck does Maxi never get a red card and Maxi just laughed.

I know right!? Ridiculous.

 

[trixx]

Costa Rica beat Uruguay? Grats to Costa Rica gaf

Please make it to second round, interesting group. Can't wait for this next match

 

[Salsa]

<3 Colombia

I need to go there again

 

[Broder Salsa]

Porto fans are forgetting Pepe, Bruno Alves, Jorge Costa. I don't call them typical Porto scum, but that is a difference between Benfica Fans and Porto Fans, civility

The only exposure to Benfica supporters I have is RVY and Lamdba_Pisscum from here, civility is hardly a word to describe any of them.

 

[Dark Schala]

So tooooorn. By heritage, I should be rooting for England, but I'm also Trinidadian and I can't forget Crouch 2006. But it's not the same team at all so it would be stupid as hell to go against England since it's a completely different team, and lots of my buddies are rooting for England.

But then I have a lot of buddies rooting for Italy, and even watching WC/Euro in school, we were usually encouraged to root for Italy.

The smartest thing would be to stay neutral.

 

[Nesotenso]

Sure if he lives in the US and is fan for four weeks every four years.

US fans who follow it year round also can call it soccer. Non-Americans need to stop being assholes about the words a nation uses.

 

[ZZMitch]

Happy for Costa Rica

Now go Italy!!

 

[macksplack]

I don't know who to root for in the next match.... i just want a great game.

I would say WatchESPN but you said you live in Canada.
Not sure.

 

[Dartastic]

I'm hype that Costa Rica won, even though it kinda screws up my bracket. Fuck yeah, CONCACAF. Next up, England beasting on Italy.

...even though I have them not progressing out of the group on my bracket. I hope they prove me wrong.

 

[Porcile]

With all the homoerotic banter directed towards him every 30 seconds, is the sole purpose of ITV's coverage to make Fabio Cannavaro feel awkward as hell for an entire month?

 

[RoySFNR]

 

[SDBurton]

Agreed, getting my junk food ready as we speak.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Absolutely. I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

It's not, some are just dicks about it.

This is it,come on England!

Look who is using terms like scum in here

 

[LNBL]

Haha +1

Holy shit usa, these are the athletes you chose to represent us

 

[Herr K]

Coming.

...all over his face

 

[ZZMitch]

Lol the vast majority of American fans call the sport soccer.

 

[Phatmac]

Gonna be good to see how English lads react to the next game!

Yellow card

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

What are the odd of Costa Rica beating Uruguay tomorrow?

Little. IMO they and Honduras are the only american teams that won't go to the next round (Yes, Chile over Spain, and USA over Portugal )

Like 2%

What are the odds Costa Rica even get a point or a goal? Slim to none.

The same odds Australia beating Chile today

Not likely sadly. Still going to be rooting for you either way because of Luis Suarez and his dirty hand.

as good as the ones of us beating France lol

but your group...damn son, i feel for ya

So slim.
My people.

Go ticos!

We did it!

Don't worry, Joel Campbell will handle it.

 

[stay gold]

Wellbeck and Sterling on the wings oh yes.

Welbeck over Lallana, ugh...

 

[LNBL]

Also, Co analyzing The Netherlands - Spain is always good
