World Cup 2014

CR have got no answer to this with 10 men, might as well kill them off now

Greece are like a shittier, crabbier Netherlands

jesus god, almost an own goal, than this.....lot of crazy finishes today.

Costa Rica were really fucking dumb for turning it over on defense instead of just playing keep away. feel like squads should take note of htis by now.

Dixon if the keeper pushes it wide there's a greek by the far post to tap in you moron.

Greece will win this tournament, nbd

that tackle

just playing "keep away" rarely works for a sustained period dude, especially when your a man down

O_O

Sokratis' goal must haunt me now.

Yeah 10 players is a problem

karagounis acting like it's an outrage to be penalised for delivering a daniel bryan flying knee

that fuckin handball pretty haunting right now

There is no-one in the game today who protests their innocence like Karagounis. He's like a little sideshow all of his own.

not a sustained period, no, but merely punting the ball away when you first acquire it like Costa Rica did with few blue shirts around them!

dutch gotta be pleased at this turn of events

i believe it was Danny Blanchflower who once said "the best place to defend is on the edge of their box"

was kinda getting Keystone Kops there in the minutes prior, too

Slaying Italy and Uruguay and effortlessly slapping away England only to lose to this, idk

karagounis seems like the type of fellow who would protest the singing of "happy birthday"

For the sake of the future of soccer, Greece should lose

xxxxp - Especially if Costa Rica somehow dig it out. They probably won't, but if they do...

greek sideline gonna brawl in extra time

That's what they want us to think...

Greece is the black metal of football.

Pinto needs to come up with some tactical voodoo and give them some kind of attacking presence cos i feel sure if it goes to pens Greece will win it

There's surely no way Costa Rica hold on for another half-hour, though? With Campbell stuck out on his own, Ruiz being Ruiz and Randall Brenes doing whatever he brings to the table (as yet literally no idea what that is), what will they do with possession even if they manage to get any?

begging three questions here

Costa Rica have a mass team huddle and Ruiz isn't in it.

i fear you're right WBS but they've gots to roll the dice now

Incidentally, how many Greeks are on yellows at the moment? I'm having trouble finding out...

3 Costa Ricans on yellow in addition to the one already sent off.

that was closer than I thought but yeaaaaaaaaa offsides

there ain't no way Costa Rica is gonna be able to hold off Greece for 30 mins

greece more likely to score by bizarre twist of fate than any kind of well-executed plan though

Only four minutes in and this is already looking nightmarish. Costa Rica can play it long all they want, but none of their players can hold it, so the pressure's just right back on.

One bright spot is that Christodoulopoulos has been a disaster this evening.

yeah after that lolcross that's p evident

how the fuck wa sthat not a foul

Greece have done a good job playing against ten which isn't always the case for teams. But yeah CR have no out ball atm.

Campbell's entire game plan now is to try to draw a free kick, but the referee is totally uninterested. Doors keep shutting...

daaaaaaaaaamn nice defending

Bright spot number 2: if Joel Campbell can actually get on the ball, he can come up with a through ball like the one he laid on for Brenes there, even if he's basically out on his feet right now.

Mexico can't be feeling any better right now

Ochoa would've kept the Greek goal out too.

How so IK?

nasty imo

ohhhh fuck
