Favourites take early lead, underdogs never quite mount a challenge is such a disappointing narrative
Otm. Haven't really enjoyed any matches this weekend, here hoping hoping Los Ticos come up with a spanner to throw in the works of the Clockwork Orange *fingers crossed*(xp)

it was hard to parse what I thought of Brazil - Colombia as I'd been drinking for 4 hours already
No way is this Argentina getting past the Netherlands.

SEE YA LATER WAFFLE EATERS
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 5 July 2014 17:59 (twelve years ago)
We hardly ever eat the damned things here in Belgium, to be honest
― StanM, Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:09 (twelve years ago)
mystified by any culture that wld associate belgium w/ waffles over beer&chocolate
― ogmor, Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:11 (twelve years ago)
That's because beer waffles covered in chocolate aren't popular in America. Yet.

and Australians don't drink Foster's DEAL WITH IT
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:15 (twelve years ago)
nobody with respect for their palette would drink Foster's
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:21 (twelve years ago)
Belgium would win a beer World Cup, no contest

tbh cuisine isn't the terrain I'd choose if I wanted to poke fun at the Belgians
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:28 (twelve years ago)
terrine either come to think
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 5 July 2014 18:29 (twelve years ago)
yeah Belgian beer is my fav currently.

On zing lite here: holland seemingly playing a normal 433 it turns out, front: Depay, VP, Robben. Enjoy it guys!

Keep trying to make a joke about Chicken and Waffles but I can't do it.

It doesn't matter, we still own this world record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%80%932011_Belgian_government_formation
― StanM, Saturday, 5 July 2014 19:03 (twelve years ago)
Saw the 2nd half - well done Argies, that looked easy.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 5 July 2014 19:10 (twelve years ago)
what's the o/u on number of Robben flops tonight
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 July 2014 19:15 (twelve years ago)
2010 QFs were way better fwiw.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 5 July 2014 19:18 (twelve years ago)
Little drama so far, last 20 mins of Bra - Col aside.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 5 July 2014 19:22 (twelve years ago)
Holland goalie is p terrible. Luckily they should have more than enough to win anyway. Arg-Belg was mostly dull, liked DiMichelis haircut though.

Worst anthem evah

I don't like the shape of Van Gaal's head :-(

Robert beat me to it
― Riot In #9 Dream (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:05 (twelve years ago)
Roberto rather
Way too flattering, though I see what you mean
― willem, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:06 (twelve years ago)
Where's the middle 3 of our 4-3-3?
― willem, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:07 (twelve years ago)
interesting corner there
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:09 (twelve years ago)
er you've got 3 CB's out there afaik so don't know where you get 4-3-3 from?xp
― pandemic, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:09 (twelve years ago)
it's like a 3-4-3
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:11 (twelve years ago)
This tournament is becoming less exciting the longer it goes on
― paolo, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:12 (twelve years ago)
this reminds me of that one Simpsons episode
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:14 (twelve years ago)
lol u guys
Anyway, there's no functional midfield to speak ofXxpost
― willem, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:14 (twelve years ago)
is it de-pay or de-pie? also, is the memphis pronounced differently to the english way?
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:15 (twelve years ago)
nice screen by the ref there
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:16 (twelve years ago)
It's the relatively small teams that have provided the excitement
The big name teams have been fairly uninspiring
― paolo, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:17 (twelve years ago)
What's everybody waiting for? Have they only trained for penalty kicks at the end?
― StanM, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:17 (twelve years ago)
haha i was about to say, 'let's shut it down, play for penalties chaps'
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:18 (twelve years ago)
"passes it. passes it. holds it. holds it."
Memphis as usual, de-pie.
― willem, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:19 (twelve years ago)
cool thanks
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:20 (twelve years ago)
neither side will be aggressive or fussed about scoring early, they'll wait for opportunities
― ogmor, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:20 (twelve years ago)
oh ffs keep the damn ball inbounds
