:lol wow

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Still haven't done homework have you? 1924 and 1928 Soccer Olympic tournaments were organized by FIFA with pro players and considered the World Championship... Therefore, 4 time champs...

Again, congrats in your 2014 WC win :tu

Again, you BEGGED on your knees to FIFA to count them. And only you, out of all the affiliated national asociations recongnize them as World Cups :lol

Nono, you're the clear cut favourites. Semis last time, best player in EPL, Copa America champs, Maracanazo 'n all that. Anything else that an unbeaten run to win the final, is major failure for 8 times World Champs.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Countries that don't count the 1924 and 1928 Olympics as World Cups:
- 208 affiliated asociations to FIFA :lol

Countries recognizing Uruguay as 4 times World Champions:
- Uruguay
...

Getting ready for first France game. Will fly friday to Porto Alegre

fwiw I prefer ribery being ruled out than ribery on one leg

France had no pressure coming in Brazil, there is now even less if possible. We just need to go through first stage (with France nothing is certain) then they should play to enjoy the moment

According to Pierre Menes, Nasri was cut because Koscielny and Lloris didnt want him on the team :lol

[The Gemini Method]

How serious is this Qatar business? I watched a segment on Vice about how the workers building the stadium and infrastructure for the 2022 WC are dying of a multitude of causes and the conditions over there are deplorable.

[lefty]

lol their worker conditions are nothing new

Same with Dubai


But the big western corporations that have built their resorts, stadiums ,etc dont give a flying fuck

[Blizzardwizard]

A re-vote for the 2022 World Cup could also lead to a re-vote for the 2018 World Cup, as the bids were joint.

Germany again?

And it's not like Germany didn't buy the decisive vote to host the 2006 WC

I have no problem if Germans buy the votes to host another World Cup because Germany is a top-notch country to host any sporting event.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

FIFA probably wouldn't backpedal on either Russia or Qatar. They have accepted far worse in their history ('34, '78). And the bribes have already been spent in coke, 14 year old hookers, champagne and such.

Loooong way to go, but 2030 could go to Argentina/Uruguay joint bid. 100 years since first World Cup 'n all that. The word on this has already been going for a few years.

So, that would leave 2026 to decide. It'll go between Europe, a joint North American bid (US/Canada or US/Mexico), or Australia's first ever, with the chance a of a handful of matches in New Zealand.

[Venti Quattro]

FIFA probably wouldn't backpedal on either Russia or Qatar.

Yeah, they're not gonna backpedal on the decision especially with these two countries. If FIFA backpedals and overturns any of the two hosting bids won by Russia and Qatar, it's gonna cause a World War 3 and/or terrorist attacks all over the world.

Not with that backline of tosb's. :hangIts kinda funny how the media was/is trying to create this big controversy of whose going to be the starter keeper, when in reality that's the least of our problems, whether its ochoa or corona, it don't matter really.

Maza and Salcido though, are one of the main tosbs we have, Marquez not so much honestly, even by his age, he still provides those long and precise floaters.

Gio and Peralta upfront, but who the hell is going to be the generator for this team now that el chapito got injured? Guardado? :lol

though I still see us advancing to the second round to be honest, croatia is our biggest challenge, beat them and we'll advance

though I'm probably undestimating Camerun, but nahh they have to many defensive breakdowns

USA could advance with colors even if they have fluke 1-0 and 1-0 wins over both Ghana and Portugal if they don't lose 0-6 to Deutschland as I predict above.

Summary

Oscar definitely raised his game after William put some pressure on him. Neymar played well too.1st goal was very important considering that Croatia was outplaying Brazil at that point.

Got a "mandrake" penalty and Oscar finished the job. Brazil definitely need to make some adjustments defensively. Very hard to trust Marcelo and Dani Alves defensively. Croatia exposed Brazil's right side (Dani's side).

If I am Scolari, I'd replace Dani Alves with Maicon. Much better fit and can play on both ends.

[hater]

this one is sad folks :cry

Yeah, that's not a bad move and It would not be a surprise if Scolari replaces Alves. I'm positive that he likes Maicon better.

Paulinho is another player that could lose the starting job as well. His level has gone downhill after his move to play in the PL.

didn't watch the game but it's pathetic of espana to start the tournament with a 1-5 defeat, good luck fighting for 1/8 qualification, Chile ain't an easy opponent either. Netherlands ain't championship contender by any means but still they deserve credit for putting an end to Spain's 3-peat (two euro cups and one World Cup).

[urunobili]

is it too wild to think Spain may not get out of the group stage?


You're on drugs if you think they're not getting out of the group stage.

[Franklin]

refs fucked England on purpose 4yrs ago in South Africa imho. The refs were all from Uruguay and Uruguay was an unofficial ally to the Reich during the war. Been a fan of Lampard for more than a decade but still I have no sympathy for England as a team, the British fucks pretty much deserved that. Even French fags (like Plattini) hate those fucks.
