Football World Cup 2014

Ah well there you go: we got what we thought we would get - fark all.

On current form, you'd expect Costa Rica to smash England!!   

shirley not Skully...Rooney the great English marksman now has his eye in with the WC bizzo....I predict a brace for the 'runes'

Just watched a replay of the 94 Brazil v Holland Quarter Final. What a cracking game (3-2 to eventual champions Brazil) played between 2 teams overflowing with superstars.

Brazil had Romário, Bebeto, Dunga, Taffarel, and Jorginho, while the Dutch included Bergkamp, Overmars, Rikjaard and the De Boer twins, and were without the injured Van Basten and Gullit.  

Did Bergkamp score screamer in that game?

Yes, got the Dutch back to 1-2.

More like 'ruins', to be honest.

No.

That was 1998 against Argentina where he received a 50 metre pass and his first touch was impeccable. And his finish was equally as good.

Switzerland learning the hard way what Arsenal fans could've told them years ago: Djourou and Senderos paired at CB is a recipe for abject humiliation.

France looked pretty minty, though, must be said.

It's difficult to tell that it was DENNIS BERGKAMP from the commentary, but here it is:

I liked the bit where they said his name a lot.

The goal wasn't bad either.

Interesting Ghana v Krauts

Klose equals Fat Ronaldo's record with his first touch...

Clearly going in the net already wasn't it? What a c*nt.

Feel a bit uncomfortable having Danny Murphy, Ron Atkinson soundalike, keep saying "Lazy" when talking about the Ghanaians....

Cracking 2nd half in Germany v Ghana. I love the natural relaxed skills of the Ghanaians.

And crikey, what a goal by Messi to get the Argies out of jail against the very unlucky Iranians.

And Nigeria beat the hyphens/hybrids.

New match, same shit from the Belgians. Lukaku's been invisible, but Origi's pace at the tail end is nice. Shit match all in all, apart from the last ten minutes when something lit a fire in the Belgian arses. Unlucky Ruskies.

Fuuuuuucccccckkkkk me. Did I NOT expect to see a 6-goal thriller betwixt Algeria and South Korea. Mental game. Mental how potent Algeria were in front of goal. Good times, this WC.

Yeah, that game and Iran-Nigeria looked like the banker snoozers of the group stage. One of them delivered...

Not quite the South Korea of 2002 to say the least, but at least they put up a fight in the second half.

2nded. Cracking tournament.

USA leading Portugal 2-1 after being one nil down.

Ronaldo having a shocker.

First USA goal is a contender for third best goal of the tournament.

Portugal draw level in the 94th Minute, game finishes at 2-2.

Farkin Portugal equalise in the 95th minute after a Ronaldo assist.

Farkin farkers.
