World Cup 2014

Saw the PK before leaving a beer release in Corvallis. Chile (Sanchez?) Is gonna be thinking bout that post for a long time.

Without Suarez, Uruguay has got nothin.

Beautiful goal. Chest trap to a turn around volley. Awesome stuff

New "goal of the tournament"

No...its still Cahill


That was beautiful though...James is a quality player. Seems another CAM that Chelsea would pick up...lol

Have to disagree...back to goal, chests the ball forward as he's turning and hits it...ridiculous. Plus its a solid 15 yards further out.

Either way...both ridiculous. 1a. and 1b. Put them in whatever order

And f--- Chelsea. Mourinho kills attacking players anyways

I'm not judging Fallaini on his cheap shots. I find him slow and farctoo clumsy in his overall play.

Interesting on Lukaku. He was one of the Prems rising stars last year. Bendtner was once though too and he's certainly tout droit

Bendther was just a joke... Another nice finding from "the voyeur" (sorry I hate Wenger even though I'm French). Speaking of Lukaku, I think he has great physical abilities, but no skills... If you wanna see a great Belgian sticker take a look to Batshuayi.

James Rodriguez is making himself a boatload of money this tournament.

Trust me, he was making tons of money before this tournament. Monaco is the place to be!

Belgian stiker. Benteke. That's who they are missing.

I never watch Benteke playing, but I can tell that Batshuayi is incredible!

I'm gonna bite my wife, will I get suspended?

He's a good player. But better than Lukaku, Benteke or Origi?

Well, we'll see next year. He is gonna play in the French league with Olympique de Marseille... Origi has done nothing with Lille.

Depends on whether your wife is Italian or not :mrgreen:

Mexico v Netherlands about to start. Should be an entertaining game. Can't wait to see the antics of Mexico's coach.

Does anyone know if FIFA requires their referees to be multi-lingual to work international tournaments?

 

[SeatownJay]

Less than ten minutes into the match and the Dutch already have to make a substitution.

Each nation sends either one referee or crew. The ref cannot ref their country of origin

I was running around this morning and missed all pre game but the commentator has referenced Netherlands had a limited warm up. I tried to find it on the web but nothing. What happened?

They didn't say specifically why, they just speculated that he couldn't continue in the heat for some reason.

Yes, but do they have to be able to speak more than one language?

No idea...but its very hot and humid with a water break coming. That may have been it

 

[Silky Johnson]

I'm a bit surprised Netherlands hasn't really put anything on goal. Even their set pieces have been pretty weak.

 

[SeatownJay]

Netherlands are dominating possession but Mexico has more shots.

And the Dutch should've had a penalty there.
