The knockout games are predictable and none of the teams played good football so far.
Boring stuff really.
We had two rounds of drink breaks in several matches, gee... Then football becomes a game of free kick and corners... Our French players even ended this decisive game without a single yellow card, and the Germans only had a few in the very end when blocking some counterattacks, there was not much energy left on the field at that temperature.
It's the World Cup of goalkeepers though, since the attackers of a bit slower than usual. Maybe Qatar will propose larger goals to have some goals between the four drink breaks :)
@parachute- it actually scares me thinking about the health of the players in Qatar. A lot.
I thought Colombia could finish the host nation. And France would beat Germany.
I'm picking Holland to beat Costa Rica, and Belgium to off Argentina.
Love to see Belgium go all the way.
Yeah, this was merely a friendly tap on the back.
Neymar is probably faking an injury.
Talk about bias.
What a BS the man has a serious back injury by a player from Colombia that already should have been given a red card 1st half for a direct kick at a knee. This strike at Neymar is dark red and far more obscene as the attack by Suarez.
You sir know nothing about football as shown by your remark.
That said last nights game was less about football more about kicking the sh*t out of each other. The level of poor refereeing could be measured by the fact that both teams ended with 11 players.
And jackdagger isn't a "sir." She's a sister from Langley, too.
He's got a broken bone in his back after a Colombian rammed his knee into his spine.
Yeah, I can see how that's somehow Neymar's fault.
What a complete idiot you are.
He'll be missed by millions of supporters and viewers.
Announcers during the Brazil match said that the 'referees didn't show up with their yellow cards'. It was awfully rough for both sides. But some of the players are so fast and so gifted with controlling the ball. It's been great.
Well, Argentina have won. In all credit, it was fair and not controversial, but they don't deserve to even be at this stage. Much like Brazil in that respect. It's a shame that these two teams have got to this stage with such mundane football and awful play. I really hope Germany and Holland/Costa Rica give these two teams the thrashing they deserve, the biggest loser if Brazil and Argentina get to the final is football, one team that relies solely on one man for their success, and even then they still haven't played an exciting or beautiful brand of football. On the other hand, a team of divers, who have got the referees in their favour and love to kick the crap out of their opposition in order to win, whilst also playing a crappy brand of football.
"There never was much hope, just a fool's hope".
Oh, so you're a Costa Rican. I wish your team the best of luck, but I feel I must support the Netherlands. Hopefully it is a good game, as it is something this Knockout round has been lacking, but I would much rather the Oranje blew you out of the water. You understand.
There was a record amount of goals scored during the group rounds and this is now shaping up to be a record for the least amount of goals scored in the knockout stages.
Good on you, Costa Rica - what an amazing keeper!
Still rooting for The Netherlands, but I'm so impressed with C.R. throughout the cup. A lot of this match just boring, but it has so heated up now ... heading into extra time ...
comment on BBC text re C.R. -
They are offering no attacking threat at all but they have Keylor Navas. :D
Costa Rica is making CONCACAF proud.
Such a performance by Costa Rica.
Oh my heart is still for the Netherlands but this is difficult. I admire C.Rica's attitude. They were attacking towards the end, not just defending. All my nails are bitten to the quick ...
Costa Rica has nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm heading out now, but also hoping to pick up some Dutch cheese this afternoon to help me celebrate. :)>-
The Dutch were very unlucky, there seemed to be an angel on the crossbar and the goalpost of CR, who never showed any intent to play football so I am not sure what their games plan was. Anybody who thinks that the Dutch did not deserve this win is very biased or Costa-Rican with no insight of the game at all.
1st half was awfull, 2nd half showed a shed load more action, and the extra-time was exciting too see for a neutral viewer and crazy for the Dutch fans as the ball did not seem to want to go in. The goalie was the luckiest man on the pitch as well very capable.
Van Gaal did once more do a crazy substitute and made history with a goalie who stopped CR twice and the players doing their stuff as they were meant to do, I do think if the keeper had caught Sneijders ball he would have been launched into the netting that pissed of was he because of all the just not moments in the match.
With Di Maria out with Argentina Messi has to do the job himself and I am curious I he can do that with clearly a very strong team spirit and effort of the Dutch.
A fun evening anyhow,
Football isn't about deserving scores, is about playing and winning. To be defensive is a legitimate strategy of playing football as valid as been offensive.
