The 2014 Fifa World Cup Thread

anyway, expect some fast pace football in 15', I am with Ghana on this.

Yep. I predict 3 early goals for Germany before half time. When they will start preparing for the next game #efficiancy

2-1 to Ghana now. Not very predictable!

^Me too.

Bollocks!

Portugal is so coming home with zero points this WC. 

Maybe the most exciting and entertaining match so far. Too bad Ghana won’t qualify to the next round (though there’s still a slight possibility that they will make it).

This is why I never bet on football, or any other sport for that matter.

As my cousin's two kids are half Bosnian I'm obligated to root for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the next match. Didn't get to see their first match, vs. Argentina, as it was a late kick off and on a "school night", but from what I've read they where just as good as, if not better than, the Argentinians, and if it hadn't been for Messi they would've won. Here's hoping they win this time around, and, as it's a late kick off again, that I can stay awake through the whole thing.

Good second half in Ghana - Germany topped off with the great sight of Muller in a pool of blood.

^ daylight robbery, it was a perfectly legitimate goal. Bosnia are clearly a very talented side but lacked guile up front today and they're defence is about as watertight as a drain (which is why they're going home) Nigeria scrapped and defended well, wasted shedloads of time feigning injuries and will be royally spanked by the first world class team they encounter. Emenike is the only player they have that other teams need worry about. And yes, there was an uncalled foul in the lead up to Nigeria's goal (it was obstruction committed by Spahic of Bosnia)
