Can’t wait for Oz v. Chile, will be a craker of a game. Thrilled at Ange’s push for youth (and the FFA’s backing).
And will be equally excited to watch Bosnia at their 1st ever WC.
Who’s gonna win the tournament
Argentina … maybe Holland !!!
My tenuous link to the Netherlands dates back to the mid-1800s and is a tale of shipwreck, illegal Chinese miners, and powerful legs.
All that’s left is the name and the legs.
i remember watching the world cup when i lived in scotland (2006) and the diving from portugal etc was so infuriating. haven’t paid much interest since.
ezy, pretty sure a kings player got a penalty in game one against the rangers for “embellishment”…
It needs to go in all sports, every football fan that is talking about the world cup is talking about this problem within the game. They need to address it or the players will be lining up for academy awards instead of the cup.
was pretty upset with today , would have been nice to get a draw (I’m an “ic”)
pen was soft…and croatia’s 2nd disallowed for a bollocks foul on the keeper
AND the two other brazil goals were soft.
oh well, was a pretty good game all up.
i think brazil will win the whole thing. bra v arg final would be awesome…but i’d guess one of italy/germany/spain will make it…random match ups will tell.
also can we make this a thread without people shitting on soccer? diving happens in every sport. and anyone who thinks a professional athlete is “soft” is an idiot.
