All I have to say is that Suarez also deserved a red card, but it didn't happen.

As expected I'm not surprised, this totally reminds me of Italy - South Korea 2002 with the other Moreno.

Well quite but after all the corruption trouble in Italy in the last 10 years or so I don't think it'd be justified for any Italians or fans of Italian football to put on their tinfoil hats.

Some nice games tonight, expecting Nigeria to trouble the Argies and France to clean up Ecuador and do the Swiss a favour.

I think Referee is not only reason Italy do not beat Uruguay. Italy's two top line(Balotelli, Immobille) do not working cooperatively.
Veratti's movement make good chance to another Italy's players. But they blow the chance to make a goal.

fifa is investigating in the matter of suarez currently. he did these bite attacks before, and overall shows bad sportsmanship whereever he goes.

maybe he will get what he deserves.


... nah, it's fifa, they prolly fine him 500 bucks and then let him go.

Swiss are through by the looks of it, Shaqiri having a field day so far.

Aside from that over 150 people have made a collective of 44000 quid off the Suarez biting incident.

He may have played the ball but he followed through with the studs which was unnecessary. Anyway why would you approach a challenge in that manner with your studs over the ball, it's just daft.

Germany - USA hype anyone?

Expecting Germany to win and USA to slide through with goal difference if Ghana beat Portugal, at best a draw for USA. If Low gets his defence right and plays people in their actual positions as I pointed out a few pages ago they should win comfortably.

Mind you a fair amount of the players in the US squad are German born including Brooks, Chandler, Johnson and Jones so it'll be interesting to see how they shape up in this game with Bundesliga experience.

prolly soiling their pants because germany is basically the best out of dortmund and bayern combined, with a few cherry picks on top of it.

He's received a four month ban from "all football-related activities", a 9 match ban from international fixtures and a 66,000 quid fine. This means he misses out on several Premier League and Champions League fixtures for Liverpool.

That's mild, surely he deserves something apocalyptic for that sort of absurd behaviour.

why did i expect any classiness from americans? silly me :roll:

we played a dominant 1:0, and only let the US gt few chances. the referee could've given more yellow cards for the US tackle game, but it didnÄ't matter much in the end.

tldr hooray germany \o/

argentina won't move on from the ro16 against france. they look a lot weaker than both 2006 and 2010. and in both tourneys we beath them (2010 even smashed them).

i think the ro16 shouldn't be a problem for germany, either algeria or russia, who are both worse than any opponent in our group was.

i had the wrong gameplan in my head.

switzerland will prolly give argentina a good run for their money, might even beat them. USA and belgium are both probably weaker than switzerland. after that you it the netherlands and you're out.

Yep this is true. The idiots in that picture are definitely the minority but sadly the idiots are the loudest. I'm just happy we made it out of that difficult group; no one expected much from us but we did it anyway.

Tanz, even if that were true, one thing seems to be for sure: an American team will win

klinsmann is underrated, both as player and as trainer. he laid the foundation for the german team you see today and he made the US a real soccer team. i hope you get far in the tournament, though argentina and the netherlands in your bracket are pretty brutal.

That was our best match out of the 3, which isn't saying much. Sucks going out by goal average, but in 2010 we went through to the last 16 the same way, you win some you lose some. The US gave a much more consistent display so it's fair.

Hope our team gets a good revamp, we need it or we'll struggle to qualify both the next Euro and World cup.

Ghana lost because of the drama that took place in their camp a day or so before the game. Muntari assaulted a Ghanaian FA official and Boateng apparently abused their manager and coach. I thought this world cup had lacked the usual camp/dressing room drama but then Ghana did us the honours.

Second round fixtures:
Brazil vs Chile
Uruguay vs Colombia
Netherlands vs Mexico
Costa Rica vs Greece
France vs Nigeria
Germany vs Algeria
Argentina vs Switzerland
Belgium vs USA

I'm expecting Chile to clean up Brazil, Colombia to trounce Uruguay and USA to edge Belgium. Belgium haven't lived up to their potential so far, not much of a unit.

Yeah we weren't very impressive this time but nor were Africa. I honestly expected Japan to progress from the group, especially when Honda fired in that opener against CIV. If they hadn't been so woeful against Greece they could've easily passed through. I genuinely think that if we (Australia) were in that same group as Japan we'd have progressed, taking into account how we performed against Chile and the Dutch, but that's the difference between finishing first and second in the qualification group.

I'll take the cheap shot and say germany has the easiest round of 16 of the last 8 years. we should do this.

but france... france will be fucking scary and might take us out.

i also think there is a realistic chance for switzerland to beat argentina, argentina is pretty disappointing until now, especially when compared to 2006 and 2010.

also chile won't beat brasil. not with the kind of bollockssucking brasil receives from refs combined with neymar carrying them.

If Brazil can get past Chile without any strange shenanigans involved I'll take them seriously, otherwise this Brazil team is just a shadow of previous sides. I'm hoping Colombia can go all the way, they have experience, flair and virtually a home crowd behind them like the other South American teams.

Time for predictions I guess.

Brazil > Chile (honestly only because I think the shenanigans will continue)
Colombia > Uruguay (seeya Suarez)
France > Nigeria
Germany > Algeria
Netherlands > Mexico
Costa Rica > Greece
Switzerland > Argentina
USA > Belgium
