Shadow Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Mexico is playing very well in the first twenty minutes. They are creating chances in the box and keeping possession really well against a really good Netherlands team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zheroen Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 So, since he's been a long-time avatar on this very board and is playing in this game... how exactly do you pronounce Dirk Kuyt's name? K'out (pronounce "out" as though you are Ricky from Trailer Park Boys) Mexico gets away with a hack on the back of Robben's ankle. Would have been a penalty for Brazil.

Ultimo Necro Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Damn, Herrera almost just got hit with a double yakuza kick there. That was about an inch away from being the Young Bucks finisher The Dutch do have a player called "Indi" after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Why are the announcers acting like that was a great save by Ochoa? It was hit right at him and I'm not convinced that he knew anything about it. It could have just as easily deflected off of him and went in. It fits into the narrative, but I don't think he deserves a lot of credit there.

Raziel Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 You can't figure why these particular announcers are fawning over Ochoa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Real Madrid fans complaining about Robben diving is the most hilarious shit. Like La Liga has any other core skills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Mexico in the round of 16 = Oakland A's in the LDS And given the local demographics and fan base overlap, that's just perversely funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo The Great Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Robben has always been and will be remembered as being a cheating cunt. And anyone saying things like "there was slight contact" "It's Marquez's fault for giving him the opportunity to dive" Just fuck off, contact doesn't mean a foul, a defender making a challenge in the box isn't to blame for some twat cheating. Fifa/Uefa never do anything about it, why bother trying to stop cheating, time wasting, racism, asking why we've had grounds with empty seats during the world cup again they'll just concentrate on the important things like changing decades old national kits for no real reason, giving referee's shaving foam and investigating players for wearing the wrong underwear Gutted for Mexico. terrible performance from Holland, apart from the second half against Spain i haven't been impressed with them but they'll probably now make the semis. Never thought the prospect of Brazil vs Holland in a World Cup semi could have me so uninterested. # This reads as a super pissed off rant but honestly i'm more depressed than anything.

Guess you missed where Moreno actually went through the back of Robben's ankle in the first half, and Robben didn't get the penalty despite trying to stay on his feet.

Death From Above Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Greece are so bad I almost want them to win just because the hatred of them will grow. But really, they're terrible, I hope Joel Campbell flukes into a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Just think of all the good teams not playing in this tournament at this stage and we get this shit. I hope it ends in a double dq or count-out and they're both eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 NOOOOOOOMEXICO!!!!!!! I genuinely feel bad when our neighbors lose. It's like the opposite of how I feel about Canadian hockey fans. Maybe it's because when they're obnoxious I can't understand what they're saying and it just comes off as enthusiastic. I need to finally learn Spanish.
