The 2014 Fifa World Cup Thread

Not happy at the Mo. Russia may be going through! AAgh! Then they would play Germany I guess. The further they get the more likely that w**ker Putin will tur up to make political capital.

Come on Algeria please score.

I’m happy that Algeria are through. But if what they showed us after the equalizer wasn’t "anti-football", Wikipedia must be wrong.

Christ she's a moron

He's none too crazy about you from from I've heard

^ agree with pretty much all of that. Given that the Belgians have been winning but not playing to their full capabilities, I suspect that their next opponents (USA) might be in for a near fatal flogging? (I hope not, as I like the way the USA play and they exemplify the game played in the right competitive spirit)

Sad old b*****ds like me will remember that (West) Germany met Algeria at the World Cup in 1982 and jaws were raining from the heavens when the North Africans won 2v1 What if...nah, it's too fanciful for words?

^ apologies for the quality of the vid (the audio even eventually drifts out of sync with the pictures alas) but here's an extract from one of my favorite football matches of all time

BTW your euphemistic description of the Italians playing 'very economic football' really means you're too polite to say they were cynical, defensive spoilers who 'killed' games to win them.

She is a sad imbecile, an ultra-conservative cretin that sadly gets a lot of press, and worse of all, a lot of fans from the "ma guns ma freedom ma god" crowd... It's embarrassing...

What is odd to me is that she is a woman sl*g.ing off soccer.  As women's soccer is very successful in The USA and the National team wins all the time. 

She also conveniently forgets that women and men play together in tennis.  Unfortunately, I think she thinks she is being funny.
