GDT: World Cup of Kicky Ball!!!1 (and beyond)

[nobuddy]

Hahahaha **** Spain. Had Holland going far in my bracket so this bodes well.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Holland's best player looks like the basterd offspring of Jon Stewart and Ben Stiller.

 

[Brock Anton]

Good on Casillas so show some damn pride. Ramos and Pique just completely gave up on that play. Embarrassing.

 

[Joe McGrath]

No, but he played fine. Hit the bar against England, set up the equalizer vs. Slovenia and was fantastic against Algeria. Just because he didn't score doesn't mean he didn't play well.

I guess Spain and Germany are what they used to be then, if we're comparing goals vs. them to goals vs. Poland and Nigeria.

Do you have the advanced stats to back those assertions up?

The irony of CMP saying somebody sucks against good competition because they didn't score goals isn't lost on anyone is it?

 

[Joe McGrath]

What in the actual **** happened here?

Oh Bobby Lou you crazy guy.

Netherlands-Spain was the kind of game that would intrigue even a non-soccer fan. That Van Persie goal was insane.

 

[bleedgreen]

That second Robben goal.....

 

[Brock Anton]

That second Robben goal.....

Sublime first touch (was some god awful defending by Pique, but still, unreal skill). Robben is so ******* good, but his constant flopping just turns me off from him.

I'm kinda sad Sweden didn't make it this year. The year I lived there (2008) was a Euro year. Their fans throw some awesome parties

Decent option I suppose. Not even he could screw up a game vs. England.

CON-CA-CAF, CON-CA-CAF, CON-CA-CAF

PS: Ghana and France, pepper your angus.

 

[Oenatzu]

Great match by Costa Rica.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Ladies and gentlemen. We have our first major upset. I had Uruguay as a dark horse to win the whole thing.

 

[Brock Anton]

After that result, the odds of England-Italy being a dull 0-0 draw just went up 95%.

I lol'd but sadly that's about as true a statement as one can make. This World Cup has been like the polar opposite of 2010, so of course England-Italy would be the game to ruin that.

 

[DaveG]

Seriously Italy? Cry for a hand ball while the ball's actually in scoring position and is loose? You play to the damn whistle.

That's soccer. Playing to the whistle is for man's games.

It'simpossible to be a fan of both Italy and of beautiful football. They're polar opposites.

 

[DaveG]

OK, the only thing that USA FIFA World Cup game ad is missing is Kenny ****ing Powers.

 

[Brock Anton]

I'd like to file a missing persons report on one Steven Gerrard.
