2014 World Cup -

[Fishkill]

The 2014 World Cup is happening June 12th, and I'm excited! Any of you have any hopes/worries about the third greatest sporting event. I want the US or Mexico to win, though I doubt the US will.
Compy, Hal and Bung already are there, they got Caxirolas already

Looking forward to England advancing to the round of 8. They really need to break that round of 16 curse.

Spain's gonna win it, I don't see no one else beating them, also, the trophie is probably going to stay in Europe for a while...

I wonder how far will the Russian team advance.

I have a list of countries I go for:

1. Australia (will be knocked out in the first round)
2. England (will be knocked out in the first round)
3. USA (will be knocked out in the first round)
4. Argentina (might make it to semis)

Your pretty spot on with this list, Australia, England and the USA might of progressed if they were in other groups and Argentina should get to the semis on talent alone. As an Aussie I still hold out hope that we can cause an upset in our group (we've beaten the netherlands before) and Ange gets us to play some nice football.

I started the list in 1998, when I played inter-school soccer and actually stayed up to watch the matches. Obviously Australia wasn't on there, which is why i made my losers list.

I just hope the USA can finally beat Ghana this time.

I can see us finishing 2nd in the group too.

I was in Italy when the last World Cup started. If I remember correctly, Italy lost in the third round.

They went out in the first round. Maybe you're confusing that with their third match.

 

[Trombonista]

Probably. I don't pay much attention to soccer.

Well, Round of 16 for sure. Algeria and South Korea shouldn't be a problem for them.

How bad was the timing? I managed to watch about 30mins of it, but it was tooooo early!

Oh well. Brazil is too much for Croatia to handle. And their lone goal, was actually a lone goal by Marcelo. XD

 

[cypocraphy]

The referee was too much for Croatia to handle.

Just watched the replay of the first match, and enjoyed the idea of the free kick spray. Hope it can be used in the Premier League in the future.

Still, got question marks about the disallowed second goal for Croatia, the penalty decision for Brazil and Neymar's elbow incident.
