[Anoregon]

No matter who won this game, football lost

That's too bad. Soccer is still doing ok, though.

 

[Xater]

Russia wants to win the WC in 2018 lololololol

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

This game was so dead the thread barely moved lol. Hopefully next game will be fun.

 

[Horseress]

Is Arshavin playing that bad to not a place in this team?!

 

[LNBL]

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

 

[dallow_bg]

lol at the goalie squirting water at the camera

 

[Markitron]

Hockey

Athletics

Are they more popular than football in Russia? That's a surprise, I think.

 

[KingSnake]

God, this was horrible.

Now to wait for the real football game of this group. Just one hour to go.

 

[LiK]

Putin lost, i'm happy

 

[Fergie]

Well, that was terrible. I wanted to see my boy Adnan play. Oh well.

Probably final game, since they're through.

Not surprising he's not playing though.

 

[Arkos]

Why was the communist bad at football?

He kept stalling at crucial moments instead of putting the ball in anywhere useful.

Money shot.

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

When you didn't pay attention, than yes.

 

[Ingeniero]

So Russia is out?

 

[Divius]

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

SKO 3 - 0 ALG

 

[Scotch]

It's hard to believe a country as large as Russia has never really had a football team that can really challenge, is there another major sport that's more popular there maybe? Euro 2008 aside have they ever really done anything major?

Chess.

Seriously though, Soviet Union was pretty good

 

[Markitron]

When you didn't pay attention, than yes.

what?

 

[Jb]

Well done Belgium.

 

[S¡mon]

Well, Belgium does have a (pretty small) German part, so there's that

Yeah, that's true, but we're talking about a really small part (compared to the Dutch and French parts).

How hyped for USA vs POR should I be?

 

[ozfunghi]

Chelsea please consider sacking Mo and go after Wilmots. The results!

 

[Pacbois]

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

2-1 for Algeria.

 

[akaoni]

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

South Korea 2 - 0 Albania

 

[trixx]

This was everyone's dark horse to win the tournament?

Anyways i want USA to beat Portugal but that means Ghana probably won't advance. Ideally it would have been great if both underdogs went to the next round.
Also please let Muntari play http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...tari-hands-out-money-to-poor-people-in-brazil

Predictions for Algeria - SK?

[Chakan]

Hazard has done what Messi did yesterday. Basically.

 

[Mr Lakitu]

Boxing and Volleyball also.

 

[Konosuke]

How hyped for USA vs POR should I be?

Pretty hyped. One of the teams is going to implode.

 

[Tarkus]

Hazard has done what Messi did yesterday. Basically.

It looked much prettier yesterday

They were good when they were communists.

They did have a much, MUCH larger player pool though lol

 

[Road]

vs

...I doubt it.

Nap time. Save energies for America vs. UEFA.

 

[His Majesty]

YES!

I'd like to apologize for the shit football my country has played, under the excellent guidance of our wonder coach.

So much for Hazard not delivering.

 

[LNBL]

0-2

South Korea 2 - 0 Albania

2-1 for Algeria.

SKO 3 - 0 ALG

Hmm idk, can't remember if Algeria really played shit against Belgium or if South Korea was that good vs Russia

 

[spekkeh]

Belgium taking a page out of Spain's book. Boring everyone to death, then when everyone including the opposing team is sound asleep, squeezing in a single goal.

Good tactic.

 

[DukeBobby]

Another couple of great substitutions won the game for Belgium.

Terrible game, though.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

"These weren't Red Devils, these were pale choirboys"

Dutch commentator pls

Well, he wasn't wrong.

 

[Markitron]

Belgium taking a page out of Spain's book. Boring everyone to death, then when no one is looking, squeezing in a single goal.

Good tactic.

I recently watched a documentary on the 2010 WC and completely forgot how boring all of Spains games were

Soviet were pretty much constantly in the finales weren't they? Just kept losing that lol

 

[Perfect Blue]

Belgium doesnt deserve this win, both played like shit.

.

LOL "deserve"

1-0

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Good tactic.

What are you talking about? Belgium only had 51% possession, not 99% #tikitakidead

 

[Tarkus]

They were good when they were communists.

They did have a much, MUCH larger player pool though lol

All their bucks are in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

 

[ozfunghi]

So much for Hazard not delivering.

Seriously???? HAHAHAHA. Oh boy. He's lucky he didn't get subbed instead of Mertens. He did jack shit for 87 minutes. Just like every other national match he played.

 

[Firemind]

Soviet were pretty much constantly in the finales weren't they? Just kept losing that lol

I was about to say.

Maybe they should change it back to Soviet Russia.
