World Cup

Spain looked unimpressive today as did Portugal.
Ronaldo is playing on a another level, too bad his team will let him down.

WOW what a brain cramp by the Argentina goalie

Croatia is firing on all cylinders right now

Croatia, Serbia, Belgium have all looked good so far. South America in general has been a disaster.

Was really excited to watch Croatia-Argentina today, but my satellite had other ideas.

You didn't miss much. Dirty game. Ref lost control of the players. Should have been a couple of red cards issued.

Only Mexico has a win in the World Cup for the Western Hemisphere.

Croatia is a very underrated team. Sleeper to keep advancing.


I'm rooting for Iceland to get through now. Would love to see them over Argentina.

im hoping for an Iceland win tomorrow against Nigeria. Croatia looks like a team that could make it to final 4.

I haven't seen Serbia yet, but agree on Belgium and Croatia

Serbia got lazy yesterday. Belgium looks dominant offensively, but shaky on the back end. Starting to resemble prior Netherlands squads that had high octane attacks but poor defenses which always caught up to them.

Toni Kroos. Unbelievable. Probably the goal of the tournament

 

[zack54attack]

What a strike by Kroos.

Yesterday was the best day of the tournament so far.

Panama is so damn bad. And to think, the US couldn't qualify over them.

Bruce Arena might have been the worst (re)hire in the history of American sports. Why they went with his worthless coaching is beyond me.

 

[Houston]

Been watching.

I'm mainly rooting for France (since they lost the Euro). but also Colombia, Mexico, Sengal and Nigeria.

Forgot about Uruguay. They had 2 wins at the time. Granted they came against 2 awful teams though

 

[bamainatlanta]

Spain and Portugal were this close to being eliminated. I wonder if the refs will be as generous to home team Russia as they were for South Korea(vs Italy) in 2002.

Please, for the sake of God don't ever drag up that game again, the most rigged game of all times and it still hurts

Croatia and Belgium your dark horses if there can be 2. Biased, Spain is my favorite. Germany or Argentina still probably win it.

I think FIFA rewarded them with the 06 title. The USA-Italy game was terribly reffed too but in favor of Italy (granted it wasn't a knockout game). FIFA just wanted to improve the popularity of the World Cup in Korea/Japan so they couldn't afford both home teams eliminated early.
