Imagine a last minute draw and then thirty minutes more of that.

Is it maybe that both teams were exhausted? Hope it's not like that from here on in.

The first minute alone of Brazil/Colombia should have more energy than that entire match.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 4 July 2014 17:59 (twelve years ago)
Maybe it would have been a different game had France had scored the early goal.

Didn't actually read that weblink before posting was just thinking how an alternative history approach might actually make things even more boring, a la Ned's favorite prose stylist Harry Turtledove.

Struggles against Algeria but doing what needed against France.
Familiarity etc etc.

Let the FIFA World Cup 2014 thread know that I, James Redd, was just kidding with Ned Raggett, who is in fact not a fan of Harry Turtledove. I apologize to Ned and the entire ilxor family. I vow to the random googlers that there will never again be another incident.

I don't know James, I seem to remember an alternate history of this account.

You hero. (I don't per se hate the guy, I just maybe have only read one short story and half a book two decades ago. Unless I've been secretly venting about him and swearing vengeance IN AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE.)

Is that the Alternate Timeline in which Oliver Kahn didn't tear a ligament during the 2002 WC Final in Yokohama?

Just watched the game on delay. Thought that was a v good first half and Rio turned out to be otm when he said Germany would strangle the 2nd half. Proper performance from Germany, v happy. Hummels was fantastic. France insipid.
Cmon Colombia!

Geopolitical history question: how come the Portuguese half of South America is one big behemoth, while the Spanish half got divided up into lots of smaller countries?

why does clive tydlesley pronounce "david" the non-anglo way but not "james"?

The other factor being Bolivar's failure to create a US equivalent (he said, oversimplifying).
