2014 After Hours World Cup oh my god i can't wait for a month of football thread.

Super-Rush

The World Cup starts in 5 days time.

Will you be watching?

Will you be giving out about the soaps not being shown at their usual times?

Is football the scourge of the English?

Are we all barstooling ****?

Who'll have the best looking supporters this time round?

Will Uncle Woy's lions not even make it from the group stages?

Will Ronaldo or Messi finally do it(durty) on the big stage?

Will Luis Suarez continue to be a rascist cannibalistic cheat?

Will Ze Germans win again.

Can Brazil win on home soil or will Spain continue to pass the ball 49485 times per game?

Will Wayne Rooney kick someone in the face?

No Roy Keane on ITV, do you care?

Who will have the best looking fans this time round?

Have you put any bets on?

Will Belgium be the dark horses?

ITV, BBC or Bill and the lads?

Who ate all the pies?

Is LizT the greatest mod ever?

This thread and all the other soccerball tournament threads are for the lighter side of the game. If you have access to the soccer forum then thats the place for discussing the offside rule.

Brazil would win tonight. To Hell with Croatia. Who the F are they ? That's the FIFA decision.

Show me a tournament where no referee made a bad decision and I'll show you 15 cents of my hard earned cash. It's all part of the fun of the beautiful game of Association Football.

a fair result tonight would have been a draw but that was never going to be allowed to happen.
step up dodgy ref when we need you.

the whole thing with FIFA is corrupt

See you in Qatar 2022

Does anybody believe this crap anymore ?

The two games played on the same day would depend on kick off time in European time it does depend on the pubs being open sadly, don't know if anyone remembers 2002 in Japan the pubs here got an extended licence to open at odd hours. 3 games on a day fir the rest of the groups from tomorrow onwards so not so bad.

Lol. I'm saying that they sometimes do. I thought you meant that there were two games played at every other opening day.

This is the second time since 1990 it hasn't happened so it just seemed like the norm.

Yay Apres Match

Tomorrow:

Mexico - Cameroon
Spain - Netherlands
Chile - Australia

Thoughts?

I'd see Mexico taking 3 points, can't call it between Spain and Netherlands and I know nothing about Chile or Aus!

The lineups aren't posted til closer to kick off, but I hope to see plenty of Diego Costa in this tournament, I like his style of play

amacca

Well played RTE Two….well played

2:0 up on BBC already afaic

"one unused prophylactic, one soiled" haha - no derailing but I'd have given my left nut to be on the set for that film and caddy shack.

Brazilians have been rioting for months now. They had to fix Brazil win in order to keep public happy.

anncoates

Nor sure if I'd go as far as saying fix (not that FIFA are not corrupt venal bastards, mind you) but it definitely looked like the referee gave nothing to the Croats who I thought were tidy enough especially in the second half. At the end of the day, it's imperative to the bean counters to keep teams like Brazil in the completion as long as possible especially as it's in Brazil.

Brazil didn't look like great shakes ether. A team with a striker and midfield would have disembowelled them tonight.
