2014 World Cup

[Agelastus]

On the bright side of things the Languish pool seems to have corrected itself; it's now showing 23 results.

[Tamas]

Hodgson is confirmed to stay until Euro 2016.

May I ask why? The English team was a pain to watch yesterday. They seemed utterly clueless and lacking any kind of tactics.

[Admiral Yi]

Didn't watch the last England game, but from the first match it seems like they improved on their 2000 tactics of "bomb a long pass to a lone striker and hope he beats  two defenders and the goalie by himself."

I think their tactics in the second game was "almost all of us play in decent clubs, we ought to figure this shit out on the fly, right?"

If a CONCACAF team wins the World Cup in my lifetime, I'll walk to Rome.

Woah woah there.  I would be shocked if any of us finish in the top 4.

If Norgy expects to live another 40 years or so, the US may be able to make a run. We have a huge wealthy nation with a lot of interest in youth soccer.

[Liep]

Pirlo.

My impression as well. They seem to lack a tactical plan.

[Zanza]

Pirlo played a couple of fantastic passes the last few minutes.

[Zanza]

That should have been a penalty.

[Maladict]

Clear penalty there.

[Maladict]

Oh wow

[Agelastus]

Oh wow

Oh shit.

[Duque de Bragança]

I'm surprised noboby bet on Costa-Rica, not even on a tie (this includes myself  ).

[Maladict]

I am a complete degenerate when it comes to gambling, and a bad omen to teams when I bet on them, to let me prove that here are my bets for today:

Italy to win without conceding a goal.
Switzerland and France to draw
Germany to win both halves
Honduras wins the first half but then Ecuador turns it around.

1/4 so far 

[Syt]

That ref seems a bit stupid.
