The 2014 FIFA World Cup
-
Much like the discussion about the jerseys I seem to have started, plus of course that my liking the French ones seems to be shared by so many, while naturally tastes differ. Astonishingly many media have ranked/rated them as well, I've seen three different ones alone here in Germany, with very differing results, too.
But perhaps back to the game, Italy-Uruguay is the next thriller for me. So far the Latin American teams have shown very strong, if this holds here, we're in for the next big exit after Spain and England.

Absolute pwnage of FIFA
-
I would normally watch England whenever they play, but Italy v Uruguay should be great.
-
It's do or die too, definitely the one to watch
-
Did he just bite him? WTF?
-
Looks like it, he certainly has an appetite for the game (and more)!

Did he just bite him? WTF?
Almost choked on my chicory salad when that happened… Too good... And safe trip home, ragazzi... ::)

The Italians being arch enemies of us Germans in soccer, I should be glad about their elimination. However, they were wronged in this game. The red card against them was a stark exaggeration, and that hearty bite deserved nothing else but being sent off.
Oh well, Italy and England being the two from group D who have to leave now, that's nothing short of sensational.
It's the Latino teams who prevail, and it may well go this way in other groups and in the knock-out stage as well. -
Suarez has earned himself a lifelong ban at this point
-
Life-long I don't know, but if FIFA know what they're doing, they'll keep him away from the remaining tournament.
-
I hate this player. He is a great striker, but the rest of him is just awful. Unsportsmanlike behavior, diving, cheating, whining. Why is he allowed to rot this game?
-
If he isn't banned for the rest of the tournament there is something wrong at FIFA (well, more wrong than the obvious).
Torn by the Japan Vs Colombia game, I have money on Colombia but I always support Japan.
-
Can we please drop a f#cking nuke on Greece already!
-
Oh this was heartbreaking to watch the Ivory Coasts team after this last minute loss via a penalty. Greece is the by far least deserving squad to reach the last sixteen.
Japan didn't show very much, our friends in Nippon clearly have other strengths. -
Now that Greece are through, it's going to be like Euro 2004 all over again!
-
Now, now, Maynard, let's not overreact and panic!
What it does mean at this stage is that either Greece or Costa Rica will make it to the last eight. My hopes are, and my money is on the Costa Ricans. -
3 times is enough. He should be gone. FIFA knows exactly what they're doing, which is maximizing hype and profit over all else. Which makes me think we will see more Suarez.
