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?
― can't shtup the music (brownie), Monday, 16 June 2014 17:34 (nine years ago) link
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!
― pandemic, Monday, 16 June 2014 17:36 (nine years ago) link
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

Muller hat trick

It wasn't Joe Cole Bees, was it?
― Daniwa, guys! Daniwa! (aldo), Monday, 16 June 2014 17:38 (nine years ago) link
Pleased that Jordan is starting for Ghana.
― Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Monday, 16 June 2014 17:39 (nine years ago) link
Kinda funny that people incl me go on about no German CF and yet Muller has one golden boot and is halfway to another
― pandemic, Monday, 16 June 2014 17:39 (nine years ago) link
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?
― Moka, Monday, 16 June 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link
they're not his middle fingers so unless that's a rude gesture in portugal he's probably reorganising the defence?
― pandemic, Monday, 16 June 2014 18:18 (nine years ago) link
Germans be loving to make it all boring and crushingly one sided! Kaymer and now this!
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 16 June 2014 18:30 (nine years ago) link
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.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 16 June 2014 18:33 (nine years ago) link
How many goals is that now? 40+ in the first round of fixtures? Fuck a defender imo
― Windsor Davies, Monday, 16 June 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link
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
― pandemic, Monday, 16 June 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link
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!

Iranian goalkeeper is probably the worst keeper so far

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

but he's still got 60 mins
or iker i guess

Why does Kilbane think it's almost half time? He's mentioned it twice.
― Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:34 (nine years ago) link
fucksake that was a charlton player scoring in a world cup, right there

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.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 16 June 2014 19:50 (nine years ago) link
Nigerian keeper did well on that header tho
― Naamloze vennootschap (Noodle Vague), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:51 (nine years ago) link
this tournament really needs a dour scrappy 0-0 imo
― Naamloze vennootschap (Noodle Vague), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:52 (nine years ago) link
Neville raising his voice several octaves for this half time analysis. Sounds like a dog whistle now.
― ewar woowar (or something), Monday, 16 June 2014 19:53 (nine years ago) link
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

Gave up the last 15 minutes so I could watch Only Connect, sounds like I made the right choice.
