Soccer / Football - All things here :)

As a native English dude it's not a surprise we lost, especially watching the France match. Such speed and accuracy passing, always driving the right way and a great sense of player position and agility / speed. None of which England had...

Pleasantly surprised with the US and Dempsey has some balls to play , secretly routing for the US team. I hope you get into the last 16..

Just kinda speculating here, but it seems the world has finally found ways of countering tiki-taka and European teams are being dethroned. Kind of a shame, in a way, since I really like that style of playing. On the other hand, it's exciting to see the sport is still evolving.

And the US does not cease to impress me this year.

Do you remember when Europe was under heavy crisis,but you could say "hey,at least we have football!"?


Forget it

 

[IbanezDaemon]

Unreal!! Less than 30 seconds to go!!

 

[Alberto7]

OMG DAT GOAL LAST 30 SECONDS...!!

 

[Santuzzo]

Can't believe Portugal lucked out....

 

[Don Vito]

I do. I was living in Madrid (Spain, not US) when Spain had Fernando Alonso (Formula 1), the guy in MotoGP, Gasol (basketball), won two Eurocups and a World Cup, had Rafael Nadal (tennis) and I think we had also won a handball sort of world cup (I'm not sure... I don't follow that sport). We were winning almost every sport imaginable. It was wonderful, but it was also such a distraction from the huuuuuge issues in the country (and still is today).

I was about to post this

But looks like next sit is for Italy,Portugal did it in the very end,lucky bastardz!

Haha oh man poor Americans. 30 seconds left on a fairly long ET. Such injustice

 

[ShadowAMD]

Hmmm, Germany is a team to fear. I'll be watching that one, it'll be very interesting... If Portugal win against Ghana you guys are home free with GD, if you draw with Germany you're also home free. So you're still in it to win it .

The awkward moment when you realize that football sucks


This guy feels the same

 

[Centrix]

Oh well. Can't say I didn't see that coming...

Everything is wrong with our team. From the chosen 23 players to the physical preparation plus team selection.
There is also no will to win, doesn't even look like we are a latin team. Ridiculous.

However I think the draw is the fairest result considering the total length of the match. Kind of a bummer for USA because it pretty much means they don't go through though. It's not like Portugal has any chance... Germany and Gana it is.

Man, I opened the fifa page to check the score and it said "USA 2 -1 Portugal, 90' ," I almost jumped out of my pants, and then a MICROSECOND later it updated to "USA 2 - 2 Portugal."

I was so ready to gloat to all the obnoxious Brits at the expat bars here.

 

[Don Vito]

And that's what soccer is for, really.

 

[Zado]

Justice League feels disappointed.

Bruce's gonna spend his night w/ beetches.

Something tells me they will be a bit more humble, given recent events..
