The 2014 World Cup thread

What a good game - win or lose Chile are great to watch - had worried they might fold under the pressure.

[DulwichFox]

Brazil vs Chile.. Best game so far.

What a pity it now has to be decided by penalties.

Foxy.

[DulwichFox]

What a shame.

Chile have given so much in this competition..

[Alan Medic]

If Brazil win it I think it would be the poorest Brazilian team to do so.

[StraferJack]

Do I as HAVE to met Suarez go? It just keeps giving

His statement to FIFA

"In no way [did] it happen how you have described, as a bite or intent to bite. After the impact ... I lost my balance, making my body unstable and falling on top of my opponent. At that moment I hit my face against the player leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth."

[StraferJack]

Boof. Goal to Columbia.

And what a goal

[maxxi]

Columbia are the new Chile.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Remake 'Escape to Victory'?

Can't believe noone else has picked up on this travesty. Who will be Pele?

He has no shame. Incredibly talented player/complete fucktard.

I saw that yesterday and was going to post something along the lines of "I just lost my balance guv", but I'm able to drop it.

[Otta]

It seems Suarex was't the first biter at the world cup.

I think they will beat Brazil.

[aquarius moon]

A brilliant comeback by Holland. Still not sure if they deserved it.

[Jah Lush]

I think they did on their second half performance and Hunterlaar made all the difference after he came on for Van Persie. Terrific game.

[aquarius moon]

Losing to a penalty in added time when they had played so well, I would've preferred it to go to extra time.

[Mick Mac]

Agree with AM on extra time being preferred.

[maxxi]

Robben has apologised for diving - but for an earlier shout - not for the penalty. What a card.

pens - CR or Greece?

[maxxi]

viva Cost Rica - nerveless

[miga]

.

[StraferJack]

So. Refreshment breaks = necessary prelude to advertisers formalising breaks in the middle of the game?

[Jeremy]

Soccer matches will need to be played in four quarters before the sport really takes off in the US!

[Jah Lush]

Testing it out for 2022. They'll need oxygen masks and a cardio vascular unit on standby for that one too.

[Ladygooner]

Glad Costa Rica are through - some great matches this weekend

[Jeremy]

Yes nice to see Costa Rica through.

Mixed feelings about the Netherlands. Shame that after playing some good football, they are spoiling it with all this diving nonsense. On the other hand, lots of teams/players dive and play act, you could say that they were just lucky to get the penalty.

[Otta]

I was gutted to see Mexico lost. Didn't see any of the match, but when I checked the score at 75 minutes and saw it was 0-1 to Mexico I was pleased.
