FIFA World Cup 2014 !

[pino]

Or Italy :p:

[Tazio]

Is it too late to vote for England in the poll. Maybe if they beat Costa Rica by loads and loads they'd get through for being super awesome? :laugh: Yeah go England I need a win or a draw :uhoh:


Go Italy Yeah babe I also will be ok if your boyz win or draw with Urugay.

Or else:

:bigcry:

[odykas]

Here we go:

URU: Muslera; Cáceres, Giménez, Godín, A.Pereira; González, Arévalo Rios, C.Rodríguez, Lodeiro; Cavani, Suárez.

ITA: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Darmian, Verratti, Pirlo, Marchisio, De Sciglio; Balotelli, Immobile

EDIT: It seems that Prandelli has taken pino's comments seriously :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

Hurray! There's a God above and from time to time he turns his face to my prayers. I managed to escape from work because the meeting was postponed for tomorrow. On my way home I stopped at Pizza Hut and bought one for warming and getting into the match atmosphere. Now the game can begin. :devil:
Good luck to La Celeste!

[pino]

Pizza Hut ??? Now you got everything to make your evening miserable, won't be sorry for you ! :p: Forza Italia !!!

[gadjo_dilo]

Works for me as I'm not a very demanding person. On Tuesdays it's cheaper anyway. :p

[gadjo_dilo]

Where is this Immobile cooming frrom?
:confused:

[gadjo_dilo]

England without Gerrard and Rooney but with Lampard.......

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I don't know which is worse. The stress of watching England when the match matters, or the depression of watching England [probably lose] in a game at the World Cup when they're already out.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I say that Uruguay will beat Italy. 3-1.

[gadjo_dilo]

I don't know which is worse. The stress of watching England when the match matters, or the depression of watching England [probably lose] in a game at the World Cup when they're already out.
Or maybe Taz getting a horrible tatoo......:devil:

[steveaki13]

Afternoon Guys and Gadjo. :D

[steveaki13]

I have got England's game v Costa Rica on TV and Italy v Uruguay on the laptop.

Should be fun that game.

[gadjo_dilo]

Afternoon Guys and Gadjo. :D
:wave: Hi Stevie!

[steveaki13]

I guess most will be concentrating on Italy v Uruguay.

Can I be honest. Sorry Pino, but I am with Uruguay. :bones:

[gadjo_dilo]

I have got England's game v Costa Rica on TV and Italy v Uruguay on the laptop.

Should be fun that game.
I could get an extra tv set here but I'm too lazy to carry a cable through the whole house.

[steveaki13]

England v Costa Rica will be depressing Jon, but It could get worse. Costa Rica have been the best team in the group and with our second string out I fear a 2 or 3-1 defeat.

Our 4th Worst World Cup ever will be complete.

[gadjo_dilo]

Can I be honest. Sorry Pino, but I am with Uruguay. :bones:

:kiss:

[steveaki13]

You too Gadjo?

I always support South American teams. I think its something to do with the mystery and passion they show.

I want Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia to do well. As I have sad, Brazil are the exception. They have won enough already. I want a different winner.

Anyway Costa Rica looking better than England in the early stages.

[gadjo_dilo]

You too Gadjo?

Me too. :kiss:

+ Brazil

[odykas]

Pirlo!

[gadjo_dilo]

quite boriing until now

[odykas]

Italy has the match under control but 0 - 0 is always fragile.

[steveaki13]

Both games dull and 0-0 and not in keeping with this World Cup.

[gadjo_dilo]

None of these two deserve to go farther.

[odykas]

Marchisio you donkey

[odykas]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq6V2-7IIAAXRcQ.jpg

:laugh:

[steveaki13]

Uh oh Italy down to 10 men.

Advantage Uruguay

[odykas]

Bufffooooooon!

[odykas]

The Italian Bus is now placed in front of Buffon

[gadjo_dilo]

1 beer + this game = deep sleep

[gadjo_dilo]

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool! Gol. Gol! Gol! Gol!

Che golazo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Great header.....with his back.

[steveaki13]

Suarez chewing another opponent and now Uruguay lead 1-0. Goooooooooooooooooooooooool

[gadjo_dilo]

That's why I dislike Italy. They start to play only when they're in a difficult position.

[gadjo_dilo]

Yaaaayyyyyy!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Yay!!!! England played a game and didn't let a goal in!!!!

[steveaki13]

Yay!!!! England played a game and didn't let a goal in!!!!

and got a point.

Best day of England in a World Cup in 4 years. :rolleyes:

[steveaki13]

How stoopid will Suarez look if he gets banned for the rest of the World Cup

[odykas]

Well... balls :mad:

Itally's approach was too defensive in the 2nd half and even more after Marchisio was sent off.

Both teams did not meet the expectations.

[Storm]

I was baffled by what Uruguay were trying (or not trying) to do...They needed a win but were playing as if a draw was fine (till that idiot got sent off and Godin scored the goal - that guy is getting into a habit of scoring crucial goals :( )

Sorry pino, not the Italy I remember or would like to see in a world cup. Perhaps next time they will do better. 2 group stage exits in a row !!


Yay!!!! England played a game and didn't let a goal in!!!!Did anyone actually watch it?
perhaps that would have been a good idea cosidering how Italy v Uruguay went :s

I was flicking between the two games and missed the goal and the bite :dozey:

[Storm]

Italy has the match under control but 0 - 0 is always fragile.
The Wise One

[odykas]

I hope Suarez gets punished for the bite. Totally unacceptable behavior.

[Storm]

The fact that he got banned for 10 games last year and still does it is more worrying (So does Pepe but atleast he doesn't bite). Perhaps a season long ban would do the trick.

[odykas]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bq6pj6JIYAA2jj8.png

[pino]

Congrats to Uruguay, they deserved to qualify. Italy didn't show any skills, except for an excellent Buffon, and a great young talent (Verrati ). Suarez is an idiot, the referee even more for sending Marchisio off, and ignoring what Suarez did. Italy as England must now get a new coach, and build a new squad focused on Verratti and the many young talents, Italy still have. But most important thing, we must change our negative attitude on pitch !!!

I watched both. I watched England most, because I am English.

[pino]

So it's be confirmed that both our coach and our Federation president have resigned. :up: Let's see if their English colleagues will show balls and do the same :p:

Nam nam :evil:

[gadjo_dilo]

Sorry guys but I don't understand a thing. Ask any player in my country where he'd like to play and he'll say Primera Division, Serie A or Premier League because these are the strongest national championships in the world. However the national squads of Spain, Italy and England were a total fiasco and left the world cup in the groups stage. Why?

[pino]

Too many foreigns players, that's why !

[gadjo_dilo]

Don't know if I could resist to watch the 23.00 matches. I'd like to watch Greece-Cote d'Ivoire for the lovely Samaras.:p

[Mark]

Too many foreigns players, that's why !

That's what they are saying about England today. That England players are not getting match practice in the Premier League.

Who would have thought that Costa Rica and Uruguay would be the qualifiers from that group!

[gadjo_dilo]

Too many foreigns players, that's why !

That's what I also thought. In the past the national team was usually built on the skeleton of the best squad in the country and the players were used to pay together. I've heard that for Balotelli and Immobile this was the first time they played together.

[journeyman racer]

Only watched 30 seconds of the Costa Rica/England game, and largely forgot it was on. I expected Italy to get through, this kind of scenario was made for them. Looks like it's up to the Benelux countries to carry the Europeans.


So it's be confirmed that both our coach and our Federation president have resigned. :up: Let's see if their English colleagues will show balls and do the same :p:

I wouldn't have minded if Australia had an Italian coach.

[journeyman racer]

The sad thing I suppose about the English game. Is when I see a good player, playing for a leading team, I'm surprised he's there!


Don't know if I could resist to watch the 23.00 matches. I'd like to watch Greece-Cote d'Ivoire for the lovely Samaras.:p
Soft. Games start 2am here. The replay of the second games finish at 10am.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

So it's be confirmed that both our coach and our Federation president have resigned. :up: Let's see if their English colleagues will show balls and do the same :p:

I very much doubt it. Changing the manager won't do anything, the players are just not good enough. But I will say that England played better football than they have in the previous two World Cups.


Sorry guys but I don't understand a thing.

However the national squads of Spain, Italy and England were a total fiasco and left the world cup in the groups stage. Why?

For England it is too much money, too many foreign players and poor coaching at youth level. Take Arsenal for example, Bacary Sagna is leaving and they are searching for a proven replacement from abroad, even though they have a very good young English replacement in Carl Jenkinson.

And because of the big money young English players are lured to the big teams even though they won't play. Jack Rodwell was a very promising young player but moved to Man City and barely played.

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Greece have scored a goal!


Seriously!

[odykas]

Says who?

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Says who?

No, seriously. One of their players accidentally wandered into the oppositions half, kicked the football and it went in!

[odykas]

Can't be true

[Brown, Jon Brow]

It would be a travesty for football if Greece qualify from the group after scoring just one goal in 3 games!

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Goal for Ivory Coast!!!!

[odykas]

Samaraaaaassss http://www.animated-smileys.com/emoticons/animated-smileys-bananas-094.gif

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Greece scored a penalty in the last minute of injury time. Wins 2-1 and goes through! Drama.

[veeten]

It's no Greek tragedy, they win on a penalty kick in stoppage time.:D

[gadjo_dilo]

I slept until 2 min ago when I woke up to see Samaras scoring.:-)
:eek:
Greece is a boring squad but they always have good luck.
Who knows, maybe they'll win the WC......:p

It will never be finally decided who has won the football!
There is still everything to play for, and forever to play it in!

The Japan v Colombia game was on SBS Radio 3 here, with a re-transmission of NHK's feed in Japanese; it was really strange to hear the commentary get more and more aggravated and turn on the Blue Samurai. The words "baka" and "aho" and "manuke" were being dropped continuously. So much for the impression of Japanese politeness.

[Tazio]

and got a point.

Best day of England in a World Cup in 4 years. :rolleyes:...and in drawing with Costa Rrica, England qot me off the hook from having to get "The Tattoo":


What about when Costa Rica beat both of us [Italy, and England]. Costa Rica 9 points. Then what.

If That happens, and Uruguay advance I'll get one of these:

Praise freakin' Allah :angel:

[Storm]

ody = drunk?
I skipped the late night game(s) to conserve energy (and I had no hopes from Greece squad in 2014 - unlike 2004!)

Colombia v Uruguay - if the teams play to form this will be a bad one for Uruguay (and Suarez might not be playing) - I remember all the hype in USA 94 about Colombia and they failed miserably. Now just think how good they might have been if Falcao had been around.

[Big Ben]

I guess we all knew what a douche-bag Suarez is but the way his team-mates and coach and the uruguayan media support him is sickening. If they don't want to put gasoline on the fire they should just shut up. Instead they go on about the British press and conspiracies and the coach talks about 'cheap morality'. What a freakin' douche-bag. I can't wait to see this pathetic team on a plane back to their God forsaken country.

They say an international ban will actually push Suarez' price tag up because he would able to focus 100% on club duty. That's a sickening thought too... they may be right. I hope he goes to Real Madrid. Man, how easy it would be to hate that team... the hysterical princess, the murderer and the cannibal in one place

[gadjo_dilo]

Bring also that beard woman ( or man in dress ? :confused:) Conchita Wurst and the performance would be sublime.:devil:

[Tazio]

Maybe you're actually Conchita Wurst, so bring it Mr/Ms. entertainment :confused: ;)
I think that The UK should assemble a team made up entirely of Kelpers, and challenge Uruguay to a footie for the; "Below The Tropic of Capricon Cup"! That would shut thos pesky guys up! :angryfire :angel:

thanx for updating guys.

Bosnia - Iran : 1 - 0

Come on Iran!

[odykas]

Messi is a goal machine

2 - 1

[steveaki13]

Messi is Argentina at the moment. I honestly believe they would have gone out but for Messi in the group stage.

Argentina 5 goals so far - Messi with 4 and the Freekick which the Bosnian defender put in his own net. So he has been responsible for all 5 of their goals.

[steveaki13]

2-2 and now incredibly 3-2 again to Argentina.

and not Messi for once

[steveaki13]

Awwwwwwwww

Messi subbed off :(, but I wanted the hattrick.

Bosnia 2-0 up on Iran now.

Hon 0-2 Sui

[Rollo]

I am picking a 0-0 draw between Germany and the USA. If they draw, they'll both end up on 5 points which is more than either Portugal or Ghana could get. If there was an excuse to rig a scoreless match, this is it. It could even be done in the tunnel.

I meant the intuitive part.I just have a really good feeling about Mexico!

The kiss itself was just a photo op. Eachhad won a silver cup at a Madison Square Garden tuneup for the MontrealOlympics, where she would become a legend, the first perfect princess ofgymnastics.

I do get the impression that she had turned into a bit of a harlot, and a strumpet, maybe always was, that's why I'm so into her :laugh: :pimp:

It was a light for me," Nadia Comaneci said. "I was afraid totell people I was in trouble, but I was always hoping someone would come andtake me away."






I say something naked happened between those two, maybe between the ’76 and ‘80 games :idea:

[Storm]

Apparently Barcelona are in advanced talks with Suarez. If ever there was a time to go away from a transfer this is it.

[NaBUru38]

I'm Uruguayan, and I think that Suárez deserved the punishment. It's unacceptable to bite another player.

[pino]

Suarez is probably the best striker in the world right now, but he's a disgrace and bad example for everyone (especially kids) so the punishment is deserved !

[gadjo_dilo]

He could have been obliged to wear a muzzle and we had been able to enjoy his amazing play.

[Mark]

The fact that he's also been banned from club football unlines how seriously they are taking it.

Ask Ody.

Portugal leads!

[odykas]

CR7 :s

[odykas]

Own goal. That's the only way CR7 & co can score :p:

[steveaki13]

Hi everyone :wave:

Portugal lead so its time for USA and Germany to fix the draw. :devil:


I have always wondered why when teams agree to the draw do they go for 0-0 or 1-1.

They should agree to fix a 6-6 draw. Not suspicious at all.

[gadjo_dilo]

Hi Stevie!


They should agree to fix a 6-6 draw. Not suspicious at all.

Because then they'll have to play a tie break.:p

Germany in no mood for a 0-0, so the question is When do USA equalise? :p

Yaaay for Ghana

CR7 finally scores :dozey:

[gadjo_dilo]

Now he can go home. :p

[Storm]

still unhappy though :p:
He could have been on top of the golden boot list tonight if he had actually remembered how to finish. This is a bad cup for Real players and a good one for Barca players (excluding Spanish of course)

This decision cost his team 4 points :crazy: :dozey:

Can't stand Belgium? :? What's wrong with the Netherlands, they're everyone's second favourite team?

[journeyman racer]

Fair effort from Algeria. I wonder if the Football Gods have lined them up beat Germany?

[steveaki13]

I used to like Netherlands, but have gone off them after the last world cup final.

I don't mind Belgium, but ultimately my support is with South America now (apart from Brazil and now Uruguay)

I would love to see Messi win a World Cup

Colombia look really exciting as do Chile.

So my main support now is

Argentina, Colombia & Chile.

[steveaki13]

A question for Pino.....

Whats the reaction been like in Italy after going out?

Here its all a bit too over optimistic in all honestly. We have forever seen coaches sack and teams bashed for months after going out early, but this time we have the reverse. Everyone saying how positive it is for the future. Probably being a bit too supportive. As ultimately we were pretty awful.

[odykas]

I hope Greece do well as there are plenty of mouths to close :p

[Storm]

I used to like Netherlands, but have gone off them after the last world cup final.

I don't mind Belgium, but ultimately my support is with South America now (apart from Brazil and now Uruguay)

I would love to see Messi win a World Cup

Colombia look really exciting as do Chile.

So my main support now is

Argentina, Colombia & Chile.

Perhaps I would have posted the exact same post :cool:
also keep an eye on Ellas for ody ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

I'm also with Steve and Storm but my first choice is Brazil - a team that until now I detested from the botom of my heart.
I'll also support Uruguay ( although they don't have any chance without Suarez ) and Costa Rica


I would love to see Messi win a World Cup

I would love to see Neymar win a World Cup. :laugh:

[odykas]

- Prandelli: No
- Zaccheroni: No
- Capello: Epic No

Difficult times for Italian coaches :p:

[pino]

Steve, as usually there's a war in Italy at the moment. Everyone is against everyone, players vs players, media vs all, fans vs coach and players, Balotelli vs everyone :crazy: We knew we were in group of death, but everyone expected to qualify to 1/8, so all are very disappointed, and demand a big change. The list of coaches, that could replace Prandelli, is long, but none really has quality to give Italy, the attitude change, we need. Oh wait, there's one coach (Conte) but isn't available :p:

[pino]

As for the title, would love to see The Netherlands win the Cup, but wouldn't mind Chile or Mexico. Definitely not France, Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay :p:

[Big Ben]

A question for Pino.....

Whats the reaction been like in Italy after going out?

Here its all a bit too over optimistic in all honestly. We have forever seen coaches sack and teams bashed for months after going out early, but this time we have the reverse. Everyone saying how positive it is for the future. Probably being a bit too supportive. As ultimately we were pretty awful.

It's a mystery to me too why the British media is so optimistic... 1 point from a goalless draw when it didn't matter any more. If that's not a major failure then what is?

[Big Ben]

I would love to see Neymar win a World Cup. :laugh:

[Tazio]

I'm firmly behind Mexico, who I believe have a real chance to win the whole shooting match, but have a very tough draw in Netherlands. Of course the U.S. is my first choice, but we've gone as far as we're going to go I think. I guess I'm closet rooting for France as well. After that it is go Chile! :confused: ;)
Any chance of Altedore playing against Belgium?

[Big Ben]

I want to vote for Chile.

I hope Germany doesn't win.

I dream Uruguay is humiliated in the next match and we don't see them for another 4 years.

[gadjo_dilo]

Benny, you're mean.....

[journeyman racer]

Well, I've been a fan of the Netherlands since the Gullit, Van Basten and Rikjaard days (like everyone else). The emergence of Belgium lifting themselves up from being a third tier European team to possibly being the best, I've found really exciting. So it's those two for me.

[gadjo_dilo]

6 europeans left.
Since Greece and Netherlands who were in the same group of qualifications with us are among these 6 it means we're not that bad. :confused:
Maybe it was just bad luck......

[odykas]

Steve, as usually there's a war in Italy at the moment. Everyone is against everyone, players vs players, media vs all, fans vs coach and players, Balotelli vs everyone :crazy:

This sounds exciting :p:

[odykas]

No match today.

What a disaster :s

[pino]

No match today.

What a disaster :s

Lucky me, I have a date :p:

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I am supporting USA because they remind me of England in the way that they can't really play soccer and don't try and con the ref like other teams.

But I'd like Netherlands to also do well because it means Man Utd are getting a good coach. And I like the France kit so they can stay a bit longer.

[gadjo_dilo]

No match today.

What a disaster :s
I was about to say the same. :confused:

BTW, you have the best avatar on the forum. Please don't change it. :devil:

[Tazio]

And I like the France Truer wordswere never spoken. I've already started on the Newcastle and dank, and have tocome out of the closet and say that beyond my country's team I'm really pullingfor France the hardest, mainly because American rednecks dislike the French forall the wrong reasons. I understand why The English don't like France (historically)and the Italians with their 200 plus years of bondage, but for the most partItalians are hyperactive and out of control paparazzi image conscious assholes,Not Pino he just has to claim the same nationality as the rest of those yahoo's.At least their women are generally up tempo, but so are every other woman ifyou know how to flip theur pancake properly. And what's up with going all Armani andPaco Robann? Only Chaldeans, do that in So Cal. and Vegas :dork:

Out of the closet? You've said it from the beginning.......
Too many Newcastles? :devil:
Take care what you're saying........:

I think I've been pretty diplomatic so far :dozey:
You try cruising areound Caesars Palace at 8:00 Am when the "Persians" are trying to get healthy on the money they lost one way or anotyher, and get blown away by some cat that thinks taking a shower after an exausting day with a little nervousness cfrom landing and gambling, and loosing (a little) is the only logical thing to do, but no these freakin' guys just put on more paco robann over their funkiness, and, and get more nervous, and ode' dififorous :confused: it is foul!!!!!! Smelling!

Tonight first 1/8 finals, so for me it's Vamos Chile, and Vamos Colombia !!! :D

[Storm]

Vamos Chile indeed but hoping for some Ney magic too. My wife is happy that she "might" finally get to see Forlan playing as the biter is out :p:

Also I want Colombia to win but I cannot stand those choerographed bollywood dances :s #7 Armero looks like he is more interested in those routines than the actual playing :rolleyes:

[steveaki13]

Vamos Chile and Colombia too. :)

[gadjo_dilo]

Vamos todos latinos!
(but Brazil SHOULD go farther :p)

[odykas]

Howard Webb will be the ref of Brazil - Chile match

Mission? :evil:

[pino]

Webb is the best referee at the moment, so it's a great choice !

[gadjo_dilo]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzMKeN6y-1MOne of my dearest memory from a world cup: Ivan Zamorano singing the suprb Chile national anthem

http://youtu.be/pV2aJP2P5_Y

[steveaki13]

A South American Football expert on radio today, said Webb needs to use the cards early, otherwise this could get a bit nasty and the players will take advantage of the Ref letting the game flow.

[pino]

Stupid Brazilian fans ! :mad:

[steveaki13]

Hi by the way :wave:

Both countries Booing each others anthems. :dozey: Respect

[pino]

Very sad indeed !

[pino]

Forza Chile !!!!!!!

[steveaki13]

This should be a good game. Chile don't know how to defend and Brazil have to go for it.

Come on Chile

[steveaki13]

Gustavo with the moustache looks like he should play in the 1950s :p

[pino]

That deserved a yellow !

[pino]

Hopefully Webb, doesn't lose control of the game...:crazy:

[steveaki13]

Trouble is. Webb is a Ref who lets it flow (which most times is good). However in this game it will go out of control unless he books people early.

[odykas]

What a dive by Hulk

[steveaki13]

I can see Webb cracking eventually. If Brazil claim often enough they will get a penalty.

[gadjo_dilo]

Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!Gol! Gol! Gol!Gol!Gol! Gol!!

[steveaki13]

Damn.

[pino]

Grrrrrr !

[steveaki13]

Its annoying. Brazil have never looked that great to me. Poor in each match, but they seem to win. Maybe the crowd causes others to Choke.

I thought Croatia were better in game 1, until Ref decided Brazil needed to win, Mexico could have won their game. They looked vulnerable against Cameroon.

Today, they have looked marginally better.

I just feel the Brazil worship needs a reality check.

Sorry to rant, just I hate the "Brazil are Brazil so we must all love them" attitude in British Media

[Tazio]

Damn.Damn hell! :angryfire.
I hope that makes you happy Gadji! :dozey:

[steveaki13]

Webbs going to have a tough day here, both teams trying to play him and are gesticulating as though he is useless

[odykas]

Where was the defence?

Don't blame you "me olde son". Sorry ya''awl boyz get peppered with that type of propaganda! :rolleyes:

Let's hope Neymar gets a yellow so he will miss next game :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

Damn hell! :angryfire.
I hope that makes you happy Gadji! :dozey:
Not very. I love Chile. I'm not happy one of these two should go.

[steveaki13]

Not very. I love Chile. I'm not happy one of these two should go.

Brazil have won it enough times. We should cheer for a different winner. ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

Let's hope Neymar gets a yellow so he will miss next game :p:

Let's hope Neymar will score again and become no.1 scorer of WC :p

[steveaki13]

He is such a diver. :rolleyes:

[pino]

Neymar, this is a game for men, not women :p:

[Tazio]

Not very. I love Chile. I'm not happy one of these two should go.

:bigcry: Go France :confused: :sailor: :angel:

[gadjo_dilo]

Chile doesn'thave the force to win the WC. I don't want Germany to win.:devil:

[Tazio]

What a flop, show him a card :p:

[steveaki13]

Where is Chile's attacking we saw in the Group? Brazil clearly have a great defence.

[pino]

Come on Arturo !!!!

[steveaki13]

Alexissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss yes yes yes

[pino]

Yeeeeees !

[gadjo_dilo]

:bigcry: Go France:angel:
Allons enfants......:p

[gadjo_dilo]

Gooooooooooooooooolllllllll!!!!!!!!!

[odykas]

The defence was on vacation :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

Come on Arturo !!!!

Your dog? :confused:

[pino]

Damn, the more Alexis score, the less chances has Juventus to sign him far Barca ! :(

[steveaki13]

Serious point. Despite not having masses of chances. I think Chile look better on the ball than Brazil. (Obviously excluding Neymar)

[Tazio]

Yeay!!!!!

[pino]

Your dog? :confused:

My dog is named after Juventus Arturo Vidal ! :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

Neymar, this is a game for men, not women :p:
Less women watching the game but more passionate.........

Neymaaaaarrrrr??????

[odykas]

Chile needs some air defence :s

[pino]

Btw gadjo, I really dislike your avatar ! :p:

[odykas]

Damn, the more Alexis score, the less chances has Juventus to sign him far Barca ! :(

But Suarez is now cheaper :p:

[gadjo_dilo]

stupid neymar

[steveaki13]

Why didnt Neymar shoot? He would have made it 2-1.

Chile's defence looking weak. :(

[pino]

But Suarez is now cheaper :p:

Not thanks, not even gratis !

[odykas]

Chile is not going anywhere with this defence....

[gadjo_dilo]

Btw gadjo, I really dislike your avatar ! :p:
I'll remove it in the pause. I'll check for a Suarez one

[pino]

I'll remove it in the pause. I'll check for a Suarez one

Do that and I ban you ! :mad: :p:
