kishidan69 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 Ah hahaha! Well played Bosnia **** - never say die! Quote
M4x18 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 The only teams that have looked like serious contenders are the Netherlands and, sadly, Italy Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
Alcarin Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 So far: Best match (action wise and equality): England vs Italy Best goal(s): Sturridge, Marchisio, Van Persie(1st), Swiss winning goal! Yet to see a goal from free kick Ronaldo/Furlan style.... Must say even though there are really alot of goals(nearly record breaking) most of the goals are pretty boring to me so far.... Quote
M4x18 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Argentina sucked really bad Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
M4x18 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I couldn't believe I was looking at one of the heavy favourites be matched and outmatched by Bosnia. No disrespect to Bosnia, but a team that starts Aguero, Messi and DiMaria should run over anybody that stands in their way. Hats off to Bosnia. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Yeah so far the best impression was left by England, Italy, and the Dutch..... Everything else was semi disappointingly, especially the Spanish, Brazilian and Argentine..... Uruguay is forever paper champion anyway so i leave them out :P Next stop is Germany vs Portugal and Ghana vs USA..... see what these 4 can do.... Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Alrighty then, a great day for us Football fans, the group of death opens today: Germany v Portugal : 12pm Est Iran v Nigeria : 3pm Est USA v Ghana : 6pm Est Quote
Alcarin Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Portugal is done for.... 2 injuries.... how lame... I had high hopes for them Certainly prefer them to Germans or even Ghana really, for USA im indifferent Quote

I thought Messi's goal was fairly impressive. Not for him, but for futball mortals. Quote

Bold-Arrow Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 what a dominant performance by the Germany. CR7 not fit enough. Hope Hummels isnt badly injured Quote
Alcarin Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I thought Messi's goal was fairly impressive. Not for him, but for futball mortals. I am not a fan of individual goals unless they are from free kicks.... I prefer actions like the one for Sturridge goal or even Swiss goal Quote
M4x18 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 what a dominant performance by the Germany. CR7 not fit enough. Hope Hummels isnt badly injured Problem with Portugal is that the team is CR7 and 10 other guys. Germany and Italy are solid teams, no big egos to please there.

Miami Bomb Squad Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 ok, based on what i saw out of Portugal, USA should go through to the next round. Germany, Italy, Holland and Maybe Brazil are top 4. Brazil had an off day. remember, They are still at home and can turn it up at any moment. Will be able to tell more when they match up against Mexico. Need to see Belgium Play tommorow! Quote
Alcarin Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Understandable. There is definitely a beauty to an assisted goal for sure. For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XINpVI_E_A0 (Could not find a better quality or english commentary that i listened to) This is one of the best goals I ever seen in terms of counter attacking....

kishidan69 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Leave it to the current generation of Germany to always turn up at the WC and get straight to business to execute the team action plan with efficiency and no sign of pressure or fear, doesn't matter which football 'giant' side they are playing. Barring injuries, their fitness was top, they broke fast and decisively (Ozil always finding space for himself), great midfield and forward mobility, Muller smart play and ruthless as usual, absence of Reus and Schweinsteiger not an issue Hopefully Klose gets to play in the next few matches - would love to see if he's still dangerous up front. May be up to the Azzurri again to stand a chance in containing them. And Merkel really loves her football. Quote
kishidan69 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Dempsey - great captain's goal to lead the charge. Ghana now settled and doing everything they can to get on the scoresheet - I feel an equalizer in the air.... Quote
kishidan69 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Why doesn't it surprise me that Portugal were going to capitulate like that against Germany....Coentrao unlucky with the hammy, but Pepe....disgraceful and totally unnecessary. Quote
kishidan69 Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Wow...this USA Ghana match turning out to be a cracker! Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 good ending to the day Iran v Nigeria was the first dud of the tourney Quote
