2014 FIFA World Cup

[PurpleGaga27 40]

Although a bit too early for this, with 50 days left until the starting worldwide competition of football (aka soccer), who will win the 2014 FIFA World Cup?

 

Since Brazil hosts it, I say they will win this one... hopefully. Brazil will also host the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio soon.

 

I might suppose Chimas/Solo and Banshee will support their country too to win it all.

As a "host" of the event, I hope everything turns out fine and everybody be welcome.

The brazilian team is expected to provide a good game play, I'm a fan of this coach, but he tends to "close" the team and more than often the game gets ugly.

I'm not sure if BR will win the World Cup, but I expect the winner to be creative and an emotional team, soccer has been boring last years and something must change. Nothing better than a World Cup to have some news.

 

In my hometown Porto Alegre, I'll watch many games in the stadium, including Aussies x Dutches. If anyone comes this way, just send a PM about city details.

I'm both thrilled and scared when remembering the fact that we're opening the Cup with Brazil. They've always been very strong, and we'll have to play without Mandžukić for the opener for a stupidly earned suspension

 

We've only faced Mexico once, in the 2002 WC in Korea & Japan, and that didn't go all too well because of a penalty kick. But again, we have a better team now than we did back then.

 

Cameroon... I think we can walk through that one.

 

 

For the winners, though, I'd go with Brazil, Spain or Argentina.

lolsoccer.

I'll probably watch a few games, but there's next to no chance the Netherlands is ever going to win. So, yeah...

[PurpleGaga27 40]

On the first game today, it's Brazil vs Croatia.

 

How do you start the 2014 FIFA World Cup with........ Brazil kicking their own field goal. That's an instant "ESPN's Not Top 10" play of the week.

 

Edit: Brazil won the opener 3-1 against Croatia.

The referee was an idiot. That penalty was not justified in any way.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Bahahahaha.

[Plok 327]

Get used to it. Our next match will be played at midnight our time on the 18th.

If they just wooped Spain's *** there is a pretty good chance they will come far.

Watched the aussie match this morning at 8am, but most of the games are 2am or 5am. I'm not anywhere near interested to get up at those time and watch us lose. Apparently we're playing Netherlands in Hockey tonight and tomorrow. Funny - both men and women at the Hockey World Cup being from the same countries.

 

5-1 over Spain... look out Australia.

[Inferno 22]

Well, I can't say I stayed sober during that match.

[PurpleGaga27 40]

That 5-1 Netherlands win over Spain was humiliating..... so much for a rematch and the Dutch got their revenge.

Goin' out now to watch France x Honduras in the looser's Stadium (never mind, just a local rivalry).

Gonna sing the anthems with La-la-las.

Hope we get a good match to watch.

 

PS: BRA x CRO - the referee made a mistake, but it would be very difficult for anyone to be sure about that lance. The thing is, in a normal situation, anyone would point out the opposite as a referee, assigning no penalty at all, if under doubt. That's the weird thing about the fact. But Croatia has a good team, focused and cold blooded. That's important feature in these times of few spaces in the field.

Must be pretty neat to go to one of the games.

[Inferno 22]

Must be pretty neat to go to one of the games.

Not if that game was Iran - Nigeria...

[Nyerguds 102]

I'm totally and proudly not giving a flying copulation while the world goes nuts over this football crap!

I'm totally and proudly not giving a flying copulation while the world goes nuts over this football crap!

And in turn, no one gives a flying copulation about your opinion of football

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Soccer is a strange sport anyway. Who wants to watch people kick a ball around? Seriously. xD

[Gben 20]

Soccer is beautiful game ruined by penalty-milking...

[PurpleGaga27 40]

As of today, Croatia and Netherlands win and Spain is eliminated from the World Cup after two losses.

[Chimas 7]

Went to AUS x HOL today.

 

I din't watch it, I witnessed it.

 

What a match! Best of the World Cup so far.

[Inferno 22]

Yeah, we just barely made it out of that match

[Chimas 7]

 

Hi,
This video about my hometown made by FIFA is accurate, including sky and sunset. Yet, a simple place.

 

Here, there is the outstanding photo gallery of Aussies and Dutches invasion.

A place to be, we will never forget this visit:

A path from downtown to the stadium called "Caminho do Gol"

Congrats Netherlands - you were lucky we couldn't finish.

 

So many big names failing to perform...
