The 2014 FIFA World Cup
-
This Iran/Argentina game is insane, my boys are giving Argentina a run for their money.
-
Rather surprisingly, indeed Kiya!
And France looked killer against Switzerland, they sure are a team to watch. -
That goal was stunning
-
-
Yeah, that was not a result that did the game justice, the Argentinians were seriously lucky. Don't cry for me, Argentina….um, Iran.....
-
A very strong team from Ghana just exposed some weaknesses in the German Nationalelf. Germany had a dangerously passive phase in the second half, allowing Ghana the lead. Kloses goal made the game a fair tie. In this shape Germany no longer is a favorite for the title.

What a weird, yet entertaining, World Cup it's been so far. Teams and matches who were expected to be exciting and set the pace have been fairly disappointing (Brazil, Argentina), supposed BIG nations have been awful (Spain, England), other fancied nations started well and then put in far from convincing performances (Holland, Germany) and teams who no-one really thought about appear to be making light work of things so far (Costa Rica, France).
I have no idea where this is all going, but I put £10 on France last week at 16/1 and they have not dropped to 10/1, which goes nicely with my 33/1 Colombia bet.

This is a perfect rundown of the games so far.. i would just like to add that Mexico (which is underrated IMO) played a great match against Brazil on Tuesday.

Too true Kiya, the keeper deservedly got lots of plaudits, but I also thought that the 35 year old Rapheal Marquez was absolutely immense.

Always for the US, I don't feel the hate for Ronaldo that some do but I genuinely like the USA and think that a successful US mens soccer (football) team would be good for the sport globally.
Plus I do find it funny when those prancing pretty boys take a whooping.
-
What did Ronaldo do to his face? Looks like an alien.
-
Portugal of course!
-
As the commentator on German TV put it: after pushing the car for way over 80 minutes, the engine suddenly jumped on. Belgium-Russia wasn't very fun to watch, and Belgium won with a lucky late goal.
As for Portugal-USA I am neutral. I find all this "pretty boy" talk rather offensive! May simply the better team win.
