World Cup 2014

I can't believe Greece's system has outlived tiki taka

It looked like he caught Sio's leg and got his feet tangled when unbalanced.

Of all Ivory Coast's eliminations, that must hurt the most. How they didn't get out of this group...

shocker

entirely deserved

So Greece could do it all along, they just choose not to

What trauma.

all in the game for the greeks

Italy and Spain out.

Greece through.

Just a bit of Euro 04 nostalgia

(I've got this horrible feeling Greece-Costa Rica is going to be an awful, awful game, but for now I'm quite happy for Big George, Little George, Christodoulopoulos and Christodoulopoulos's awful attempted moustache)

feel like the ivory coast coach was maybe a biiiiiiiit too liberal with the subbing there at the end

so a team out of holland/greece/mexico/costa rica in the semi final

if it's Greece, good lord

if it's Greece, I will be enthused tbh

FIFA should be even open about its corruption and just put ivory coast through anyway

nah not really. mexico are beautiful

Danny Mills just said playing Greece would have been a bye to the next round before Lineker told him to can it.

if suarez gets suspended they should boot uruguay and put one of the african teams thru

executive order from sepp blatter

All-african superteam, why not.

Columbia were great to watch, there.

ffs Luis

lol at lineker's quizzical specs

ok genuine question: do you guys think that greece should've been awarded a penalty there or was it too light of a foul?

was a clear penalty tbf

Saw a tinge of embarrassment from Lineker as he pulled the glasses out.

It was a pen.

Greece also hit the crossbar twice.

greece really, really deserved that one

so a team out of holland/greece/mexico/costa rica in the semi final

Wait, does that mean the four South American teams will put each other out?

not a pen. The defender's leg is there and Samaras hooks his leg onto it. If anything it was a free out

fella on my fb re Suarez: innocent til proven guilty. we still live in a democracy.

one man one bite

Fucking love James Rodriguez

moral thundering about suarez is gonna be so tedious

nah even my Dad cdn't work himself up to outrage he was too busy laughing

RAWK on Suarez bite is a hoot.

i mean he can't complain if he gets a 6 month ban but nobody's really vexed about it

40 acres and a tooth

Pen does look a bit more ambiguous in slow motion. Still think there is obstruction.

Nightmare if there was anything like video reviews for that.

I have lolz and thank him for the incident

but if the usual suspects are gonna actually claim no bite here then we will genuinely have to start looking at euthanizing fuckers

it was a softish pen but i don't think anybody's been robbed except football fans

Greece played the better football in that game though

Somehow whatever happens in world football, Greece remain the same. Really feeling for CIV but they should have had Bony on from the start. And not been so suicidally attacking near the end.

tbf they knew they had to win in open play

xp

Ivory Coast defend like crap for the 1st goal so no sympathy.

Greece are thrash - showed less than nothing for most of that group. Hope Costa Rica go through.

For Football's sake.

or IC were appalling for that 1st

Poor Costa Rica, expecting all that glamour and having to play England and Greece back to back.

Suarez on Uruguayan telly:

"(The bite) are things that just happen in the box. Chielini touched me with his shoulder, which also isn't very nice."

Literally? Yes, literally.

Luis is correct in many ways about the double standards re: violence in football, and yet surely by now he's worked out what happens when he bites somebody
