World Cup 2014

Costa Rica playing well. Uruguay didn't expect it.

Also waiting for the midnight game

 

Like I said at the start of this thread, my heart is with the English. I loved the way the Dutch played last night. It's a good thing that manager and striker will be at man united for next season. I know I am opening a can of worms here.

 

I must say, a good game but a disappointing result for me. The English were a better teem

 

I don't agree, the english game was lacking in passion. They seem to have given up.

 

That's cos all the best players in english football are playing for their own countries ,

 

And this is why I really enjoy the World Cup as its a more balanced platform. Its not about which league team has the most money, buying the best players to win the next league cup. Players play for their countries against team mates.

PS, please don't take my posts seriously, just a point of view to encourage discussion

 

Well we will see the French tonight and, later if I can stay awake, Argentina

 

Looking forward to the Argentina game. Lucky tomorrow is a holiday.

 

On paper it should be an easy game for them.

 

So the Australian teen are one of the first teams to make there exit from this World Cup. Looks like its good bye to the Spanish as well.

 

Couldn't have happened to nicer teams!!

Hup Holland Hup!

 

Agree with you. I just hope they have not come good to quickly.

 

I think they got a bit of a wake up call tonight. It's also going to be interesting without Van Persie in the next one.

 

Assuming Brazil wins there group, the Dutch must win the last game to avoid them. Well looking at Brazils performance, not sure the Dutch have any thing to worry about. Home ground advantage may play a role.

 

I unfortunitly have to agree with you but, I can hope.

 

Well, do we remember who knocked Brazil out of the 2010 World Cup? That's right. It was the Netherlands. And this Brazil team looks like they'd be a pushover compared to the previous WC.

England haven't been big world cup players for ages. On paper one of the favorites, but in reality, a no show.
