The 2014 FIFA World Cup

[501IH]

Brazil didn't look so undefeatable…and congrats to Belgium for coming back after being behind. Having seen all teams but Russia and South Korea, I feel this could be a most suspenseful WC, with several teams being potential champions, and thus many tight matches with Hitchcock qualities.

As much as I'd love to pull for our neighbor, I just can't pull for Mexico, even against Brazil, the fans are just too vile. I guess I tie is a-ok.

Buenas noches, España! The king abdicated, and so did their team. Ha!
The socceroos can leave with their heads up, good game against the Dutch. The Netherlands are the team to beat for anyone toying with the title…

Sad for Spain but they really lack a cutting edge , Chile have been excellent so far.

Balls to the wall prediction here, either France or Colombia will make the final.

[501IH]

That's a risky bet, Gav! I see them ending in the quarter or semi finals as the max.

[Megatron1505]

I have faith man, and that faith improved when they lost Falcao. Makes the rest of them stop relying on them and actually play.

Spain sucked pretty bad… ???
now it's gonna be Germany that wins the damn thing...sry all

Balls to the wall would be USA making the final hah

Columbia looks amazing. More ball finesse than any other team. South American teams make it look so easy. USA looks like they all have sausage feet. No finesse! Just clearing the ball out everytime and no well placed passing, at least compare to other teams. We suck at soccer

[bagley920]

Thats what soccer looks like when you start kicking around when you can walk. That's why we dominate in basketball and likewise Caribbean countries in baseball

[simonc]

Come on boys

[ohighyo]

Beautiful corner from Columbia.

Goodbye, England's rose…... What a drama. Rooney scores at long last, and then, no......

[hectic]

Every. Fucking. Time.

[ohighyo]

Should of had that header. Uruguay turned around and showed you how it's done, at a much more difficult angle. That's the perfection form South American teams I'm talking about. They make the shit look so easy

[Maynard Friedman]

Better to get the disappointment out of our system as soon as possible. Probably…

Watching Japan v. Greece just now put me in mind of our beloved Japanese denim: art- and playful, in possession of the ball for 70% of the time, if not more. Only of course the scoring was missing, alas, against the very robust Greeks. Don't see either team going very far, and thus the denim metaphor ends, very abruptly.

You've all still got Belgium!..

Been trying to figure out who Van Persie looks like. Every time I see him, think I'm looking at a young version of somebody, but couldn't figure out who. Then it dawned on me.

Mitt Romney!
