I'm hoping for 8-1 in tonight's match. Anything less would be a disappointment.

Dude on BBC is talking about the 1950 team again and how they were never forgiven and were made to never forget losing. I recall hearing the 1950 keeper was banned from going to the '94 World Cup final because he was considered a bad omen. That team was narrowly beaten in the final. This team...

Until tonight usually it was for the US matches that this thread was most active and most fun during the World Cup. This shit was bonkers. Probably not going to be much fun for these Brazilian players for at least the next, I dunno, 50 years though.

Comeback's on.

Off the top of my head the United-Arsenal 8-2 and the United-City 1-6 matches were freaky deaky ones too where every shot the winning team hit seemed to go in. It happens sometimes in football but usually not in a fucking World Cup semi final. That and Brazil are shite.

Remember when we were going WHAT THE FUCK after the FOURTH goal?! I bet Brazil wish they could go back to that happy time when they were 4-0 down.

Could have busted the Orbison song out after 25 minutes.

Well that was...inevitable. How the fuck is David Luiz a £40million defender? Actually, how the fuck is David Luiz a defender? Fred was playing?!

The Germans haven't scored in a while. They're useless.

Managed to get to the 33rd minute before the BBC commentator referred to the Germans as efficient. For fucks sake, get a new adjective. I predicted a dirty niggly match with lots of stoppages, only stoppages so far are for Brazil kicking off.

I...I...I got nothing. I'm actually starting to feel bad for them now.

That Forest shirt is more like it, that thing is a beaut. Now imagine how much it'd be ruined if they stuck a shitty Chevrolet logo slap bang in the middle of it.

Crowd reaction gifs for this might just eclipse Taker/Lesnar. As I type...FOUR! Holy shit.

I haven't worn a football top in years but I would usually buy my younger brother a United top every year as his birthday is around the time they're released but this year he might ask for the money instead when he sees that gaudy fucking logo. I prefer simpler designs so I like the shirt itself but, yeah, not feeling the logo. I might buy the Liverpool top and give it someone I hate so they finally get the message that I hate them. Butt fucking ugly.

So there was a fly-on-the-wall documentary series on over here last year called Educating Yorkshire. It featured a kid who had been bullied largely because of his horrendous stammer but he still has to do an oral exam in English so his awesome English teacher busts out some King's Speech shit: I think it might be the look on the teacher's face at around 1:17 which gets me every time but then the ending too? I'm not normally a big old soft bastard during these docs but at the end, forget it, I was gone.

Which version of Blade Runner is it that's regarded as the definitive one to watch? Final Cut? Because... Yeah. This one I'm not proud of.

Goddamn, I know the Dutch won and all but changing your keeper for the penalties strikes me as bonkers and insane. As a Man United fan, I'm not sure if this intrigues me or not. And Cillessen was the 1st dude running on the pitch to congratulate Krul. Bonkers and insane.

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.

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

But is it good or bad? I feel like everything I've heard about it makes me think I'd hate it. I know the dude from Roseanne is in it but I feel like you end up thinking why watch an episode of it when you could just watch an old episode of Roseanne instead when it has John Goodman and John Goodman is awesome? Or, you know, find something else in your life to fill 25 minutes.

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.

Big Bang Theory has carried on the mantle of Scrubs and Friends of being on all the feckin' time on one of the channels over here and yet I've never watched a single minute of it. From what I hear, this is probably a good thing.

So there was a radio/TV show called I've Never Seen Star Wars where guests revealed stuff that it seemed maybe everyone had done apart from them. A lot of it was basically film/TV shows that it seemed every dude on the planet had watched but they hadn't. For instance, Stephen Fry had never watched an episode of Only Fools and Horses etc and so on. So, what are yours? I've never watched any of the Lord of the Rings films and I have absolutely zero interest in ever watching them. Is that bad? I dunno.

Big Phil is saying they were out to get Neymar and he's been hunted for the last 3 matches which is ironic considering Paulinho and Fernandinho were both sent out to a number on Rodriguez last night. I had thought they might stumble over the line but can't see them getting past the Germans now. If they were to go all the way though and because it was a debate on the BBC, would Brazil be the worst winners in history? I've personally only witnessed 5 previous winners (including two Brazil teams) but this Brazil is definately worse than all of them.

I really don't want to be THAT guy, I mean, I tried to be a nice guy, I tried to play by the rules and I don't mean to undermine her talent and athleticism as a tennis player but...Eugenie Bouchard. Yeah. So it's equal opportunities objectifying, here's a picture of Ilie Nastase:
