World Cup 2014

poor finish from ozil

Portugal's world cup over already?

I haven't seen either Ghana or US play since 2010 so I wouldn't know, but Coentrao is one of their better players as is Pepe tbf

Almeida is the best of their strikers, too.

Red Card questions:

Pepe out for next game? If so is Port. allowed to field 11 for the next game?

yes and yes

this just popped up:

Theo Sakyi @TKSakyi · 40m

Ghana team to play USA: Kwarasey, Opare Asamoah, Mensah, Boye; Sulley, Rabiu Atsu, A Ayew ;J Ayew, Gyan

Love the Ayew bros.

that was a pen but ref embarrassed cos he was the one who launched the counter in the first place!

Who was that player again chasing the ref endlessly, like Ronaldo, just did, that was made into a billion gifs? From a previous WC or EC iirc

I remember ballack from CL vs Barca??

Muller hat trick

It wasn't Joe Cole Bees, was it?

Pleased that Jordan is starting for Ghana.

Kinda funny that people incl me go on about no German CF and yet Muller has one golden boot and is halfway to another

Joe Cole bees!! I remember now.

not the best week to be Iberian

Oh yes Ballack, thanks!

@KuperSimon Simon Kuper. Am looking forward to Portugal coach blaming referee for 4-0 defeat

This.

Whoa Meireles giving the finger could've been another red card if someone had noticed. Is that pic real?

they're not his middle fingers so unless that's a rude gesture in portugal he's probably reorganising the defence?

Germans be loving to make it all boring and crushingly one sided! Kaymer and now this!

More seriously the crappy defending - esp from set plays - has been a downer. No wonder Alan Hansen hasn't come along.

ITV were awful (we boringly repeat) in devoting all of their time talking about Pepe and Muller at the end of the 1st half.

How many goals is that now? 40+ in the first round of fixtures? Fuck a defender imo

The World Cup's only Charlton player coming up now :)

Rooting for him, Dejagah and the boys but think they've probably got little chance

Can easily see a draw here.

I like Musa a lot. Nigeria should be too good.

Watching the first half at the campus pub with a huge pro-Iran contingent. Pretty fun!

no way do iran hold out here

https://vine.co/v/MIpMquTwO09

Iranian goalkeeper is probably the worst keeper so far

croatia

Iran going a great job at consistently getting the ball to Nigeria.

but he's still got 60 mins

or iker i guess

xp

was great for lille and great there too

Why does Kilbane think it's almost half time? He's mentioned it twice.

fucksake that was a charlton player scoring in a world cup, right there

rommedahl must have managed at least one

was no longer at the club i think in 2006

someone post carlos quieroz now he's a dick please

wrong Carlos

That Clickhole top ten kicks list nearly made me puke.

can see Iran holding, frustrating Nigerian's ineffective attack and the Nigerian goalie doing something 'special' nicking it.

Nigerian keeper did well on that header tho

this tournament really needs a dour scrappy 0-0 imo

Neville raising his voice several octaves for this half time analysis. Sounds like a dog whistle now.

if the BBC England reports carry on in this general direction they'll have won the Italy game by Thursday

enyeama is great, have you all forgotten he's one of the main reasons messi didn't score last wc

best goalie in ligue 1 last season
