    I think he said Howard was a weak link, then Howard went on to make a record 15 saves in a World Cup game! :pac:

    He said he was a good goalkeeper, not a great goalkeeper.

    Must have misheard him tho tbh when he's on I spend more time looking at his eyebrows going all over the shop and tend not to concentrate on what he is saying!

    I think you're right too. He was talking about him for a long time and I reckon the only reason he added in the 'good not great' comment is because Brad was sitting next to him. The general message was that he doesn't rate him at all as a player.

    Hello again everyone :) I closed my account a few days ago and was planning on not coming back at all but I needed somewhere to relieve my World Cup-related rage so here I am!

    The past few days have actually had some brilliant football, especially that Switzerland-Argentina game. I was in bits at the end of it. :p

    Poor USA :(

    I've money on Germnay but I'm starting to seriously regret betting on them just after they destroyed Portugal :rolleyes: Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if France beat them unless they start to click all of a sudden.

    Taking everything into account there's only one thing I can honestly say:

    COSTA RICA 4 SAM.

    :D:D

    Gawd I thought that was a woeful game. The only reason I watched that game was because of Messi, did you see that pass Hotfail? Ugh, what a player! I love Messi, probably the best player in the world cup.

    Also, did you hear Suarez got banned for 4 months, serves him right? Don't you think? :pac:

    Down with that sort of thing? We'll see if it's really MacBizzle . I'm off to get the popcorn. :pac:

    Oh god, everything Messi's done so far in this World Cup has been completely overrated! James Rodriguez has been the best so far, by quite a distance :p

    Leave my Luis alone! :mad: He has issues :'( Once he goes to Barca I won't care anymore :)

    And yes Luci, it's me :p

    It would be within the realms of possibility that Columbia could beat Brazil tomorrow, wouldn't it? I've half a mind to put money down on the them.

    Well I wouldn't be that surprised if that were to happen tbh, Columbia have looked far more impressive than Brazil in this tournament and @ 4/1 they are differently worth a nibble

    I've a feeling Germany might turn it on this evening, should be a great battle.

    I think the other game is hard to call, Columbia are in with a real chance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    Think France will best Germany, and I'm hoping Colombia will give Brazil the beating they should have gotten a long time ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭Tarzana


    Boooooooooo

    Yeah, would love an upset and Brazil never go out early.

    Would like Germany to win today. To paraphrase Hank Scorpio "Nobody ever says Italy Germany" :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,669 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    What referee is doing the Columbia/Brazil match? It would be nice if it was Howard Webb. I just hope it's someone who's fair and will call the game down the line. I'd be worried at some favoritism shown towards the Brazilians because it's their home country and all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    France will beat Germany. Germany are too frail at the back. The likes of USA, Ghana and Algeria created multiple chances against them, I fear what France will do.

    Then you certainly don't want Howard Webb.

    This is a tough choice the Frenchies or the Huns.

    I think Les Blues have been a bit better overall and have the striker in the right position today. Look forward to Greizman down the left.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    I too am looking forward to Griezman. Probably for different reasons though..

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    German goal was good, but you'd have to think France have an equaliser in them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    France need to get more men breaking the game line (to confuse my football codes), as it is whoever gets the ball wide only has one man to aim at.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    God, this is boring. The French making hard work of getting through that German defence. It's not like they're brilliant defenders.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭Hotfail.com


    Boooooooooo
    Who would've thought a France-Germany game in the knockout stages of the World Cup could be so boring? :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,047 ✭✭✭Da Shins Kelly


    Neither team look particularly good. France have a lot of posession, but hardly doing anything with it. They'd wanna start really pushing now, kick it up a notch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,059 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    Terrible stuff.

    €75,000,000 sale of Suarez has been signed.

    Farcical stuff. If FIFA were serious about bans it'd mean that when a player gets banned from the 'game' then they are banned from all the processes that go with it. Transfers included. The 'game' consists of a whole lot more than minutes spent on the field after all.
