The Man Known as Dan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If Belgium goes out, I hope we get an Argentina/Brazil final. Just for pure rivalry purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Still Germany all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Although i picked and was rooting for argentina, the premise of a Dutch/Belgian semi was very intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Wow, this game! I had a seminar at university, cycled back with highspeed and miss the only goal by five minutes. Seemed very similiar to France v Germany yesterday, early goal, not too many chances, ridiculous heat and a close finish. Holland - Costa Rica is up in about two hours and will be very interesting.

The Man Known as Dan Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 If Costa Rica wins today, they are obviously who I am rooting for, no matter how little chance they have of beating Argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Van Persie just can't get enough of being offside this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Van Persie just can't get enough of being offside. FTFY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 He just whiffed on that chance, too. Probably should have dropped low to head it in.  Holland have had their chances here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Brings to mind Fergie's quote about Filippo Inzaghi that he must have been born offside.  I mean, shit, you can get caught offside 99 times but then you'll score the winner on the 100th time. Which wouldn't surprise me with Van Persie tonight.  Edit - Jesus fuck at that scramble. Totally want Costa Rica to win the whole fucking thing.

Death From Above Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've enjoyed this even if it isn't exactly the most open game. Â Costa Rica just will not die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 The final ten-fifteen minutes were amazing, but I can´t see Costa Rica going way longer without conceeding. Or losing two or three of their back five. Or both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzy Dunlop Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 To paraphrase: 'Football is a simple game. Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end...Keylor Navas saves.' Â BBC commentator nearly had a heart attack when Costa Rica nearly scored just now. Â Jesus, hit the bar.... Â It'd be tremendous if Costa Rica won on penalties after all this.

Fuzzy Dunlop Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Ok, Jesus, Van Gaal has some balls for bringing on Krul for the penalties. I, ah, I don't get it.  Watch Krul save every penalty now.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
