World Cup LD

[Gelgarin]

You can't take quick corners.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Again, you can't help but wonder just how much better Colombia would be if Falcao had been fit. 2 superb goals for different reasons.

 

[Loveless]

Cant remember if I transferred Rodriguez out of my fantasy team at the last minute.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I transferred him in along with Zapata. I thought I'd got Yepes too but must have clicked the guy below him :-/

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

This boy will go places. Damn James Rodriguez.

And Brazil's striking impotency will cost them dearly soon.

 

[Барбоса]

I could not hear the commentary/punditry in the pub but surely someone said that Uruguay lacked bite up front?

Everyone on my FB has.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Everyone on my FB has.

I've just had a bunch of folk whining about Metallica on my feed. I thought they were pretty decent and I'm very surprised that MGMT are headlining a stage, haven't heard anything new from them since their debut year.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Fucking MGMT? A two-song band who haven't done anything for four years? Fuck.

Chile were stupid letting Pinilla take the first penalty. He's just hit the bar in the last minute, there's no way he'd be of a clear mind. He then took a shit, conservative penalty. I was in Spoons, and pretty much everyone was rooting for Chile.

 

[Барбоса]

There were several what I would call mistakes in the order of and choice of penalty takers. Pinilla should not have gone first and even though both scored, in an ideal world, neither Neymar nor Aranguiz should have been taking one after they had been crippled with cramp in extra time. It had Schweinsteiger in the Champions League Final all over it.

Also, with that monstrosity of a run up, Neymar is setting himself up to miss a vital penalty sometime soon, and he will get slaughtered for it.

You are more likely to kid yourself, like Willian, than the goalkeeper.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Aranguiz's penalty though, one of the best I've seen in a while. Even more impressive due to his cramp sufferings although that maybe played in to his thinking of, "just fucking belt it."

Yup, I can't stand the stop-start run up and either feel overwhelming joy or crushing disappointment when someone misses, depending on who I'm supporting.

Apparently the Chilean goalie dived the wrong way for the first penalty and should've known better, as Redfoo's left foot was placed too far from the ball to not pull it left.

We had befriended a Brazilian who was sat by himself, so we were the only people wanting them to win. When they hit the bar in the last minute he thought it was in.

 

[Loveless]

Holland look like they've set out to kill this game.

 

[Blade]

All the more reason to cheer for Mexico.

 

[Lee]

Si! Si! Si!

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Ochoa Power!

 

[Барбоса]

Clarke Carlisle is definitely an advocate of the empowerment technique in repeatedly using his co-commentator's first name.

 

[Blade]

Another goal of the tournament contender!

Now we get to see how good Van Gaal really is.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

Welcome back Giovani!

 

[Lee]

Not since Santiago Munez have we seen such a good Mexican run of form.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Fucking hell, Ochoa is a beast.

Has anyone else permanently got the ITV "Braaaasil, Brasiiiil" thing in their head?

Yeh, the version where the kids sing off-key is like nails on a chalkboard.
