World Cup 2014 discussion thread.

Think that result against Spain - and the Confed Cup in general - was highly overrated. Brazil rode the waves of emotion in the opening of each game in the Confederations Cup, managed to get early goals, and then counterattacked.  They didn't do well before the tournament, and after the tournament the only difficult opposition was Chile.

The only thing really different is the defending (and Paulinho being crap).

argentinos your day is coming   

Fake.

No doubt

Nice to see the Dutch making sure all 23 players got the chance to see the field.  It would be cool to see other nations try this when possible.  I realize it is tricky to find a situation to put the 3rd keeper on the pitch but they were able to do it.

It is fake though.

Right, how likely do you guys think it is that Germany will win? £80 returns £180 and I'm tempted. (In 90 minutes).

I put £50 on a -1 handicap for Germany

In 90 mins?

Yep

I hope Argentina win.

It's very difficult to make an argument for Argentina to be favourites but if they do somehow win Brazil might implode.

Look at all the downvotes I got for a fair comment.

Reddit won't stand for your bullshit like we do.

Khedira out, that's a big blow.

Might help having a specialist defensive midfielder in Kramer.

Gonzalo....

Damn it

Higuain was too turnt.

He actually finished well that time too.  

That's a red bro.

It's cool that you act like an idiot on here and try to act normal on a website where internet points are at stake. Who gives a shit honestly

Messi NOOOOO

That's a foul on Higuain?

Holy shit, where have you been?

I'm always around mf. 

What's Argentina's endgame here, taking it to penalties against Germany? Smart move.

Palacio

Why can't Messi be taking these shots?
