Wait...they have Bendtner doing commentary???

The Danish studio got him after the match.

Had some weird choices, they also had Højbjerg in the other day for the Netherlands game.

 

[EmiPrime]

Oh, they definitely are. You'd have to be massively big headed to believe that any god gave a shit about your little game of football, but these idiots genuinely believe that crap.

Maybe there was a funny shaped cloud. Or the 'Moyes Out' plane is doing a tour of Brazil. Or his pet falcon was perched on top of the stands.

 

[Scum]

Oi, Wooden. Can we have Lukaku pls?

Weren't you having a go at confuziz and his vegan bashing?

What's it to you?

They will literally give anyone a job commentating.

 

[KidA Seven]

People keep saying this....but they're in the semis now lol.

Out of all the remaining teams, Netherlands have been the most impressive. Every other team has struggled almost every game.

Let me check for a second


hmmm

No

My apologies to David Luiz and his falcon.

That's true, but the most impressive looking or best playing team doesn't always win.

If Neymar misses the semifinal, Brazil are fucked. Especially since t.Silva is suspended.

Neygod has carried them to the semis with scrubs like fred lol.

Dailymail already hating on Fernandinho:

Fernandinho's hatchet job on James Rodriguez during Brazil and Colombia's World Cup quarter-final reminiscent of Maradona vs Gentile in 1982
Brazil midfielder committed a horrible foul on the Colombian in 14th minute
Somehow he was not shown a yellow card for the challenge
Ten minutes later he fouled the attacker again but still was not booked
Then on the brink of half-time he charged straight through Rodriguez
Fernandinho has committed 10 fouls in Brazil's last two matches

At the 1982 World Cup the only way Italy managed to stop Diego Maradona was to task their hard-nosed centre-back Claudio Gentile with man-marking the diminutive star.
Gentile committed 23 fouls on Argentina’s No 10 in Spain, as Italy triumphed 2-1 and left their opponents needing to beat Brazil in their next match to advance - something they failed to do.
Thirty-two years later there were echoes of that famous hatchet job during Brazil’s match against Colombia in Fortaleza, as Fernandinho thundered into James Rodriguez at every opportunity to disrupt the Colombian’s rhythm.

In the 14th minute the Manchester City midfielder flew into a challenge on Rodriguez in the centre circle, making little attempt to win the ball and clearly catching the Monaco man.
The referee gave Colombia a free-kick, buts somehow Fernandinho avoided a booking.
It has been suggested already during the tournament that the hosts have been getting more than their fair share of refereeing decision, and this was a clear example of leniency towards Brazil trumping reason.

Ten minutes later Fernandinho was at it again, clattering into Colombia’s No 10 and getting none of the ball just inside the Brazil half.
The referee again spotted the foul, but again Fernandinho was not shown a card to match his shirt.
Then, right on the brink of half-time, Rodriguez was uprooted by Brazil's midfielder enforcer for a third time.
For a third time the referee turned a blind eye, as Fernandinho trudged off at half-time with no booking to his name.
The last foul was his 10th in Brazil's two most recent games.

I agree but sincerely I don't care about how a player celebrates after scoring a goal., not really an issue for me

France and Colombia played like teams that just click and yet they both lost. No point in predicting anything.


D10S will win the world cup.

 

[Stulaw]

Germany v Netherlands final.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Germany v Netherlands final.

It'd die

 

[Broder Salsa]

Who can blame them, finding a Dane with football knowledge is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Good thing we got the money to just take whatever quality is in Sweden then.

Spoiler

and Norway

 

[Scum]

Let me check for a second


hmmm

No

I hope you lose your connection halfway through the porn you're currently streaming. 😒

 

[faridmon]

Everton should come out and publically slam that bid. Derisory is the only word I can think of.

Yep, 40m and he is theirs, before that, they should shut the the hell up and know their place.

 

[Vivalaraza]

My apologies to David Luiz and his falcon.

No worries.

Just don't pick and choose when you take the high ground.

Fuck you were fast, I removed it within seconds. And you're right. It's amazing how shit Swedish football is compared to yours, I don't get it.

 

[Tecl0n]

when did the wc thread become so insufferable.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I hope you lose your connection halfway through the porn you're currently streaming. ��

Tutumlu was meeting with him the other day, i can only assume they are already negotiating for Laudrups contract at Spurs, when Pochettino is fired halfway through.

Look at how tiny Levy is lol

 

[Scum]

Ibracadabra should have been at this World Cup.

 

[Manager]

Premier League champions?

Good point, make it £45 million then. That's the response we usually got.

 

[Clegg]

The Mail aren't wrong about Brazil carrying out a hatchet job on James. They did the same to Cuadrado. Only difference is the former didn't let it get to him.

 

[Marc]

How are city with the homegrown quota? Don't they need to sign a bunch of British players at this point?

Barry going, Richards going, Lescott gone, Sinclair dead, Milner wants to go, Joe Hart is shit and will get dropped one day.

People keep saying this....but they're in the semis now lol.

Yeah, I wish England was this shit.

 

[raven777]

I only watched Cuadrado today and he was bad...

 

[Broder Salsa]

It's true enough yes, can't blame them for doing something that works though, it's the refs job to stop that.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Dermot Corrigan ‏@dermotmcorrigan now

On Spanish TV just now "Velasco Carballo is not Howard Webb. He did not deal well with the pressure."

:lol

Yeah, I wish England was this shit.

Current status is:
- Must buy a backup keeper
- Must buy a central defender
- Currently only one non-HG spot left.

Everything points towards that the two new players will be non-HG, which means either Negredo, Dzeko or Javi Garcia must be sold.

 

[Suen]

Ibracadabra should have been at this World Cup.

Bale, Ramsey and Ibra should have been allowed to join Portugal

 

[King_Moc]

In this tournament, that is most certainly not the referees job.

Isn't Benatia to City a done deal already?

 

[Manager]

Isn't Benatia to City a done deal already?

Not close, just rumours that he wants to go to City. Roma wants crazy money. Same with Porto and Mangala. £30m+ apparently.

 

[Lightning]

Looks like it's because Arsenal and juventus for Sanchez. Congrats on your player Juve.

 

[Clegg]

I'm not too sure about all the widespread acclamation of James being the PoTT. Robben has been really bloody good in every game he's played.

 

[Scum]

Looks like it's because Arsenal and juventus for Sanchez. Congrats on your player Juve.

How much are Barca asking for? £35m??

 

[Jarnet87]

City should just buy a bunch of older championship level English player. Can get them super cheap and I'm sure they won't mind collecting a nice check on the bench.

 

[Meier]

Mirror going hard on City £25m bid on Barkley, maybe putting Rodwell into it.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-city-target-ross-barkley-3812128

Yes please.

 

[Suen]

Bendtner is a top pundit

"Paulinho and that other guy in the middle should have gotten a yellow early on". Can't even with names.

That's how you win silverware.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Ross Barkley isn't all that so I'd be alright with City spending all of their transfer allowance on him.

Everton still wouldn't sell, mind.

 

[Mastadon]

Juve are worse at signing players than you are. He'll probably stay at Barca lol.

 

[Razor554]

Nah, Zubi like to buy high and sell low. 15m€ it is

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Nah they'll somehow get him on a loan.

 

[Manager]

People missunderstand the homegrown rule, you don't actually need to fill up all spots. Pellegrini wants 22 players, with 17 non-HG only 5 needs to be either HG or U21.

These five are Clichy, Milner, Nastasic (U21), Hart and Rodwell, right now.

 

[Broder Salsa]

:lol

Webb has been brilliant so far, despite what the terrible WC thread might say.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

I'm not too sure about all the widespread acclamation of James being the PoTT. Robben has been really bloody good in every game he's played.

It's his or Messi's to lose now.

Javi Garcia it is.


Hmm, rules need tightening massively.

Starting to hate the premier league, just a charade.
