MafiaMan Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I'm going with Italy to win the whole thing this year... Just kidding. I know the rest of the world is in love with soccer but I just don't get the obsession... Quote

MafiaMan Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 I agree. Can we close this thread now? I spent about 8 minutes watching Croatia vs Brazil earlier today...3 different guys bumped in the face - all fell down in apparent agony writhing around in pain. For a second there, I thought I was watching Miami vs San Antonio and the NBA Finals! Quote

Hayduke Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I pull for Mexico. They don't have a prayer. It'll probably be Germany. Quote

For a second there, I thought I was watching Miami vs San Antonio and the NBA Finals! the ref gift wrapped the second goal for Brazil calling a phantom penalty in the box...the free kick was not more than 10 yards out and the Croatian goalie got a piece of it but it still went in...it was embarrassing watching these idiots flopping around like they had just stepped into a bear trap.

Snake Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I predict I won't see a single kick of World Cup soccer this year. Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Mexico gets a big win over Cameroon, if they had any chance of advancing from group play Rumors of the Netherlands demise have been greatly exaggerated as they lay a beatdown of Spain. RVP had a sick header! Quote
MafiaMan Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Rumors of the Netherlands demise have been greatly exaggerated as they lay a beatdown of Spain. RVP had a sick header! Why is it that if you're from Mexico, you're Mexican, if you're from Japan, you're Japanese, and Italy, you're Italian, but if you're from the Netherlands, you're Dutch? Same thing for Denmark and being Danish. Quote
cberkas Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Rumors of the Netherlands demise have been greatly exaggerated as they lay a beatdown of Spain. RVP had a sick header! That game could have been 7-1 Netherlands, Spain is going to wish they scored that empty netter at the end of the game. Quote

RVP had a sick header! That was pretty cool! http://abcnews.go.co...ory?id=24131003 Mexico vs. Brasil next. Ouch. They beat them for the gold in the 2012 Olympics. But, not the same team. That tournament had an odd hybrid of a few seasoned players mixed with mainly "junior' teams. Quote

I believe limited to 3 over 23 year old players or something like that. Quote

siouxweet Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 USA 1 - nill! let's hope they can hold on to, 1-0 leads at this year's World Cup have been like 2 goal leads in this seasons NHL playoffs-they don't last too long. Quote
