Australia whopped in every match? NOPE!
Their game against the Netherlands is already a example to deny that statement in a instant. 3-2 is NOT getting your butt handed over to you, especially when it was so close between the both and Australia definetly deserved a point at least. |
Well, as far as modern football shirts go that isn't bad I suppose. |
Well it's way better than this

Canary droppings shirt was great. Imagine trying to concentrate on the game whilst playing against that.
I'd actually consider buying a Norwich shirt if they went crazy with the design again. That or if we bring back the racing green away shirt. |

Anyways Suarez has done it again. Words can't describe how inane that was after all the controversy surrounding him time and time again. He must relish all the negative attention he gets. ****. |
It was quite clear in the last season that him and his PR team were working on his image. A year fo hard work blown away.
|
Ivory Coast AGAIN doesn't make the last 16. Just goes to show that you may have some great players, but if they can't play as a team, well....
Why do I have a feeling that Costa Rica is gonna lose to Greece? They've already done the hard work, beating Italy and Uruguay. |
On Greece's penalty, if you closely watch the replay, you'll see that Samaras just smashed his foot on the ground. Ivory Coast deserved to pass :[

Well it looks like Suarez could be facing a two year ban for biting one of the Italian players during the Uruguay vs Italy match yesterday. Course I am not happy that Uruguay advanced to the Round of 16.

Probably the only time that Suarez has hurt his teeth biting someone. Zombie Suarez should be at least banned for life because that's the third time he's done it.
|
Not a chance in hell that will happen. Another short ban I expect, starting after the World Cup.
He'll keep doing it until somebody responds by tries to knock his head off with an elbow or something. Somebody should take the ban and do it. |
Well I hope that Uruguay don't go out in the last 16... Suarez will be wanting a shoulder to cry on, and I don't think any of his team mates are up for it.
Switzerland are through, and I'm pleased for them. :D |
Suarez decision is in.
This seems like such a slap on the wrist for this being the third time he's bitten another player |
Well of the Group G matches today, so far the US vs Germany match is scoreless while the Portugal vs Ghana has one goal so far. The one goal being done by Portugal. Speaking of the US vs Germany match, at one point Jermaine Jones bumped into the ref. The commentators joked about the ref getting a yellow card.

lol, an Italian journo on Lafferty.
Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Wow! #Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini just revealed why Kyle Lafferty was sold. And they are some very stern words. Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Zamparini: "Lafferty sold? It was requested by my coach [Iachini]. At the end of the season he told me Kyle is unmanageable..." Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Zamparini: "Iachini asked me to send Lafferty away. He's a great player who I'm fond of, but he's an Irishman without rules..." Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Zamparini: "Lafferty is a womanizer. He disappears for a week, takes a plane to go to women in Milan. He has 2 families with 6 children." Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Zamparini: "Lafferty doesn't train. He's uncoordinated. But then he's a great player because he gives 120% on the pitch." Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Zamparini: "Lafferty is unmanageable in terms of his behavior. I asked Iachini to straighten him out again but he told me he can't." Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Oddly enough, I remember an incident involving Lafferty & Iachini during #Palermo celebrations that seemed harmless but may have been a sign Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h During celebrations, Lafferty grabbed Iachini's famous hat off his head and threw it around. Beppe wasn't pleased about it. Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Iachini commented on the incident after the fact, saying Lafferty wouldn't play another minute because of it. Everyone thought he was joking Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h Iachini may have been serious. Lafferty did not play in the remaining four matches of #Palermo's season. Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 3h That Lafferty news is crazy. Hope his wife knew about his flings, otherwise he's in for it now! Lorenzo Vicini @ViciniLo · 2h So, basically, Kyle Lafferty is the modern day George Best? So if he does sign we are in for an interesting season. |
Well I am glad that both the US and Germany advanced to the Round of 16. Final score of US vs Germany match: Germany 1 US 0. Final score of the Portugal vs Ghana match: Portugal 2 Ghana 1.

We lost to Germany?
Wow, the U.S. sucks at soccer. |

Wow, the U.S. isn't as bad as everyone thought. FTFY :) |

We haven't won the World Cup in like...ever. The closest we've gotten is the semi-finals in 1930. The SEMI-FINALS. We always lose and for some reason, the entire world holds it against us, so pardon my frustration. If the U.S. wants to look like they don't suck in my eyes, they need to win the cup this year. Otherwise, they're terrible. |
You really aren't very funny. Please try harder.

I guess it's always a little more difficult for America to seem like a strong power because they're in a relatively weak confederation where the only team that offers any decent competition is Mexico. Yeah, America lost to Germany, but Germany is a powerhouse. The US created a few really good chances late in the game and managed to hold to the scoreline to just 1-0, which isn't bad considering that Portugal, a team considered to be a lot stronger with better players, was thrashed 4-0 by them.
Winning a World Cup is no small order, there are a lot of great nations that have never won one. It's a huge margin of success, but not the only one. That the US has gotten out of this group at all is a testament to just how far they have come as a team and organization - no one, not even big name former US players, expected them to get out of the group. I expect (and hope) the US makes it to the quarterfinals, leaving the tournament at that stage is by no means a disappointment considering the road they've had to get there. This is, what? The first time the US have made it out of the group stage two World Cups in a row? That's remarkable growth. |
