Tryhard Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 tbf england struggled against algeria last time finishing 0-0 so you know what at least there were goals I still don't rate them for their hype, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 that england/algeria game was the worst of all time wasn't it? still, not rating belgium for their hype is the right choice. i still think they would get beaten by a squad like costa rica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 that england/algeria game was the worst of all time wasn't it? still, not rating belgium for their hype is the right choice. i still think they would get beaten by a squad like costa rica What makes you say that? 'Hype' would be 'they have a realistic chance of winning'. But I'm going to state openly that a team with Lukaku/Kompany/Cortois etc and such quality all over the pitch (except dedicated fullback) will expect victory over Costa Rica.

Excellen Browning Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 The Berlgians are hyping themselves, not so much anyone else. I live in Belgium and it's looking a bit like the netherlands does during the world cup except it's red-yellow-black instead of orange and there's less of it. The absolutely shite first half performance made me laugh a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absolutely shite first half performance made me laugh a bit.eh, I've heard hype that Belgium are the "dark horse" of this tournament. Honestly, I didn't really think so then, and I don't think they are now, but I think they have some good players.

Parrhesia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ochoa is a free agent after finishing bottom of Ligue Un with Ajaccio. I gotta admit, great performance. Ochoa was fantastic that year from what I saw of him, too. Ajaccio would've been even more fucked without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Best gk so far are Ochoa, Navas (Costa Rica) and Neuer. Valladares and that Algerian gk also did fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 I thought Valladares flapped awfully weakly at the eventual own goal, but it's hard to judge in hindsight - it might've been simply impossible for him to get good contact. Chile's goalkeeper (Bravo?) made a really good double save to deny Bresciano what would've been the equaliser, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Chile x Australia was the only game I didn't watch. We have to consider Valladares is playing for maybe the weakest team of the tournament. If the game didn't end 5-0 or more, it's due to him. aNYWAY BEST WORLD CUP SINCE FUCK I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Half of Brazil's team sound like they could play for Sutton United - Fred, Joe, Bernard, and Paul 'Paulinho' Stubbs, the fat bloke down the pub who does annoying ball tricks and claims to be a reject from the Southend academy what happened to names like Socrates ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 I pegged South Korea to make it through the group. I've changed my mind. Now I think someone should go on the field with a pistol and execute one defender on each team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 It was worse than the fucking dire Nigeria-Iran match for the first 65 minutes or so.
