Re: World Cup 2014
Not many posts in this thead. Maybe it is because England are out already after LOSING THEIR FIRST TWO GAMES.
The games have been good though.

Re: World Cup 2014
Some interesting surprises so far. The result of this World Cup could be quite different.
Re: World Cup 2014
I couldn't even find this thread, which is why I posted about England's defeat in Breaking News.
USA v Portugal tonight.

Re: World Cup 2014
Oh no! I was annoyed when Portugal scored; I remember Ronaldo in 2006 against England.
Re: World Cup 2014
What made it worse is that the BBC commentators originally said that there were 4 minutes of extra time and then corrected it to 5. If they'd been right, the USA would already be through to the next round!Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry wrote:Oh no! I was annoyed when Portugal scored; I remember Ronaldo in 2006 against England.

Greece goes through to the next round with a last-minute penalty by Samaras.

Re: World Cup 2014
Samaras did well to score that penalty. It could have been England v Greece in the next round!
Bring back Bond!
Re: World Cup 2014
At least I'm spared the dilemma of divided loyalties, unless they play the USA in a future match. Greece are playing Costa Rica next, so I suspect they'll have more English support than usual!carl stromberg wrote:Samaras did well to score that penalty.

Re: World Cup 2014
The bad news is, USA lost to Germany 0-1. The good news is, because Portugal beat Ghana 2-1, they still go through to the next round on goal difference. Their next match is against the winner of Group H (currently Belgium, but that could change with two matches left to play).

Re: World Cup 2014
The Germany vs USA game was kind of reminiscent to Germany vs Poland in the 1974 World Cup.

Re: World Cup 2014
Look at that pitch!
Greece and the USA are due to meet in the semi-finals....
How about a prediction for the second round?
Here are mine:
Brazil v Chile 2-1 (After Extra Time)
Colombia v Uruguay 1-1 (Colonbia win on penalties)
Netherlands v Mexico 3-1
Costa Rica v Greece 1-1 (Greece win on Penalties)
France v Nigeria 3-1
Germany v Algeria 3-0
Argentina v Switzerland 3-1
Belgium v United States 2-1 (after extra time)

Re: World Cup 2014
I think it would be truer to say "There's a possibility of the USA and Greece meeting in the semi-finals". In truth, I can't see either team making it that far (though I'd be happy if they did - not sure which team I'd support, though).
Update: Fivethirtyeight.com gives each team only an 11% chance of reaching the semis.

Re: World Cup 2014

Re: World Cup 2014
I thought Greece would nick it after Costa Rica had a man sent off. But the Costa Rican penalties were good.
It's one month of Superbowls. This has been a good world cup - although England were useless.I'll say this for the World Cup it's better than the Super Bowl which is done in one night this is at least an event for the fans
Re: World Cup 2014
Yeah, I was gutted when they failed to beat a 10-man team with an injured goalie. It's all down to the USA now for me. Can they beat the Belgian waffles?Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry wrote:I thought Greece would nick it after Costa Rica had a man sent off. But the Costa Rican penalties were good.
