odessasteps Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Wait so the guy that just hit the last PK for Costa Rica was cut by Chivas USA.. one of the worst MLS teams? Mind blown. Just like Julio Cesar was not good enough for QPR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I guess I'm alone in actually enjoying the Costa Rica-Greece game then? A good game of attrition where once it went to extra time Costa Rica had to sit back and defend due to being a man down and hold on for penalties, while Greece tried to use their man advantage to score a winner, knowing that the extra man counted for nothing if it went to penalties. Not super exciting, but I thought it was an intriguing match from the second hand on. Really disappointed for Mexico. Was really wanting someone to just punch Robben in the face afterwards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Robben apologizes for diving "I must apologise," he told NOS. "The one (at the end) was a penalty, but the other one was a dive in the first half. I shouldn't be doing that." On Moreno, who went off injured after tangling with Robben at the end of the first half, he added: "He hit me on my shin and must then (go) off himself with an injury. "Then I get hit again if that is not a penalty, I do not know." About an hour or two after game time. Dude's a natural heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 There is a real possibility of a CONCACAF Semi-Final if CRC can pull off the upset against the Dutch, and the US can find a way to sneak past a very good Belgium team and probably Messi in the Quarterfinal game.

Raziel Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah, I know we're all like, jazzed that we made it out of a group that a lot of people thought we weren't making it out of.. But we ain't getting past Argentina, since I got a sneaking suspicion that they were coasting through groups to save themselves for the Knockouts.

Death From Above Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Argentina other than Messi haven't gotten out of first gear yet, but compared to the disaster under Maradona's management they are 100 times better defensively. And you have to think that either Di Maria or Aguero have to score at some point. If they get going, that's one scary team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not that this really matters, but the Univision commentators were arguing during half of the first half of what has been the best goal so far in the WC and their top 3 picks (rightfully) are Van Persie's diving header against the Spaniards, Chaill's volley against the Dutch and James first goal against Uruguay. They gave RvP's goal the nudge as the best one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 If Germany survives Algeria, a meeting with France would be fan-fucking-tastic viewing and I think a preview of the 2016 Euro finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah. I would be tickled if we can make it to the quarterfinals since we seem to play poorly in the first knockout round more times than not. I have very low expectations we will make it further than that; however, a rematch of last year's Gold Cup final to determine who plays for the World Cup would be FANTASTIC.

Guest Edwin Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Depending on how the groups are drawn of course. If they ever faced each other in the Euro Cup, I'd favor the Germans or the Dutch over the French specially if they played against either team like they've played against Nigeria.

Jiji Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Boateng and Hoewedes are going to be Germany's undoing. Just awful. Wouldn't it make more sense to switch the two at least? Boateng has played a bunch of full back and Hoewedes has no idea what he's doing at fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub Khedira for Mertesacker, moved Howedes to CB, have Boateng and Lahm as full backs, and Khedira ahead of the back four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
