I slept away the GER-POR match... it seems I became a little bit ill, I'm very sleepy and weak and have a sore throat...

Because of this, the IRN-NGA match was the first I could watch from start to finish. It wasn't worthy... weak performance by both teams... but at least I earned 3 points.
Chürműű! :-)

As boring as Argentina vs Bosnia. Bad luck Akoss.  :-\

Chulk/Rotoi: What do you think of Argentina's performance vs Bosnia?
We played awfully. Only Romero, Zabaleta, Rojo, Mascherano, Gago & Higuain playing at an acceptable level. The rest of the guys did not play even a 50% of what they're capable of (Di Maria & Agüero being the clearest example of it).
Many think the system change (from 4-3-3 to 5-3-2) is to blame, but I think it wouldn't have mattered if players had been at their top performance.
If you think about it, 5-3-2 system won 1-0 its own half, while 4-3-3 got a 1-1 draw so clearly it had more to do with players level than tactics
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

Today:

Belgium - Algeria: beerland will suffer, but they must win (probably only with a single goal).

Brazil - Mexico: easy home victory versus the thiefs.

Russia - South Korea: I would be glad with a Russian victory (davaj-davaj Rossija!), but dirty lucky cheater rice-guzzlers will survive with a draw.

Btw Iran-Nigeria was one of the worst world cup matches I've ever seen - but at least I was falling asleep around the 70th minute. ;D The other match: USA was really underestimated by the experts. If they can steal at least a single point from the demotivated Portugals, they can be in the knock-out phase.

I don't think Iran vs Nigeria was that boring. Nigeria just played really badly, as I had expected. Iran played the best they could.

I don't think USA was very strong last night. The Ghanese defence was just a disgrace. Ghana spent 60 minutes with the ball to score one goal and USA spent 2 minutes with the ball scoring 2 goals. I think Portugal is very likely to make it to the knock-out phase despite their 0-4 defeat.
But we can't be quite sure.

I hope you are wrong. But whatever happens, they will say: "cr was injured", that will be the reason for everything. What's more, they'll say he's a hero because he was on the field in spite of his injury.

BonzaiJoe

It's just that as far as I can judge from yesterday's games, Portugal will beat USA in the next round and Germany will beat Ghana. And then Portugal probably just needs 1 point vs Ghana.
But we can't be quite sure.

Bad luck week for Iberian Peninsula.
I don't think "luck" had much to do with it. They just received a slap in the face from history itself. The Netherlands have always been better than Spain except for the last 6 years and had better results in world cups except for 2010.
And I don't even have to talk about the difference between a 3-time world champion and the one with most finals played and a team that didn't even win a Continent Cup (Euro in this case).
Just because the have Cristiano they think they are great and can beat anyone, but, as Lineker once said, "Football is a simple game. 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and in the end, the German always win"
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

the German always win

Does anyone remember Euro 1996? ;D

I'm surprised to see the half-time result of Beerland - Brainless Terrorists duel... ::)

The half-wannabe-Belgian-nigger, half EU-Brussel terrorist team has won with luck against the poor Algerians... sad news...

Taste a strong Belgian beer in Brussels, it will change your mind. ;D

BRA-MEX 2-0 would make Stunts mini-league quite balanced.

CTG

Great second half, but this Brasilian team doesn't really seem to be a future world champion.
