OT: FIFA World Cup

[DaDucks*]

I'm not sure what I just watched...but I'm glad it's over..

This was to be Michael Bradley's coming out party during the World Cup. He has be absolutely atrocious the entire tourney. He's a turnover machine.

The guy that looks like Dean Pelton? I don't even watch soccer and thought that guy was horrible. The plays would just die on his foot.

He was the US's best player during 12-13, but was awful this tournament. It's a real shame, he's normally really good.

this Brazil v.Colombia game should be very entertaining, dont see either teams pride letting them sit back.

 

[Papaspud]

Looks like Brasil REALLY wants to play Germany in the next round.

lol soccer. theres so few shots in soccer you would think when someone has a clear up close they would at least get it near the net.

Well, even when trained like a professional, one's hands are a far more precise tool than one's feet. That's why it literally happens to the best of them, even though it makes it look amateur-ish a lot of the time. Hell, that may even be part of the charme. This way, I can always count on sitting to a 55-year old man who can't make a straight run to the restrooms without taking a smoke break to tell me he would have finished these chances with ease...

I know that pain. Did it 3 years ago and my back is still all messed up.

Man... the Brazil fans are probably feeling like us ducks fans did in Game 7 X1000.

I was rooting for Germany but not like that.

 

[Paige Duck]

There goes my wanting for a close and exciting semifinal game, at least there's lots of goal scoring! Rooting for Germany but hope Brazil can make it a little more interesting

 

[Ducks DVM]

Most goals ever scored by a team in the quarter finals and it isn't over.

Wow.

 

[perrygetzanother]

inb4 "hey, at least brazil had a good tournament"

 

[Papaspud]

whew!

Breaks the shutout. Cue the comeback.

 

[perrygetzanother]

yeah it was shockingly like game7 last year. was rooting for germany but man it made me a little sick. that last goal was basically the same thing as when i got that text "hey... at least the ducks scored one"

total empathy for brazil tonight.

 

[mightyquack]

Finaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale finale ole ole ole

 

[anezthes]

Also Germany. But we're not going to go far I don't think. Bad coach, bad system and a bad squad selection.

I've always liked Joachim Löw and didn't want to say anything when I first read this. But yeah.

I'll eat gladly crow if we win the Final

But to be fair, Germany didn't really play that well (minus the Portugal game) till the QF when he changed the team. Also Löw finally adapted his tactics instead of sticking with the same ones throughout, so full credit to him for (finally) learning from the last 2 tournaments. Two of my biggest pet peaves of mine with him he's corrected so I can't argue.

 

[snarktacular]

Game 7 sucked, but at least we aren't Brazil.

 

[Fighter]

Game 7 sucked, but at least we aren't Brazil.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I thought the very same thing. When the score was 4-0 haha.

 

[duckaroosky]

It's like a Sarah McLachlan commercial

 

[Paige Duck]

 

[Yemeth]

Game 7 sucked, but at least we aren't Brazil.

I was zapping around my TV channels, came back to the game after it already was 0 - 1 and then if was 0 - 5 and I thought my eyesight has gone even a worse turn .
