World Cup 2014

Soft

who called the 4-4?

off his knee

lavezzi has done a lot better than aguero

I only dabble at soccer fandom, but Enyeama played those last two goals like he's in the bag for Argentina.

Good save from Higuain just now though

I really hate the Argentina goalie kit

Lavezzi looked v. dangerous when he came on in the last game too

I wouldn't have expected messi to go same side again from second free kick, sure it can look bad not getting near it but if your weight is the wrong way then that's all she wrote

third goal I didn't get a good look at yet

Don't know why they persisted with Aguero when he's clearly not right.

messi seems like a cool guy

3rd goal no way the keeper can come for the corner, once it hit dudes knee no chance of a save immo

I think the worst criticism I've seen of messi that rings true is that he insists on playing as much as possible to cement his place as the greatest ever

Jim begin seems to have noticed that messi is not tall

it wasn't that his weight was the wrong way, he was completely on the other side of the goal. There's favouring a direction and then there's just being stupid

he's not playing now
xp

broken arm for nigerian guy?

meh fuck youse guys anyway

XP eh? missed that.

from the ball hitting him?

fuckin hell woeful nonsense from Irish co-commentator, O'Donoghue I think. maradona can't even be compared to messi cos messi scored more in Spain,

fuck that wrist is in bits

I didn't know that could happen with an arm and a football

I think Enyeama is super religious. Which I guess doesn't necessarily mean he can't be a psychopath, but every time I've seen him in Ligue 1 he seems v friendly and unaggressive

lol yeah

"Maradonna never even got near that"

nasty rake on angel there

is dimichellis in this squad btw

never mind, he is

Goddamn Babatunde's arm

Tempted to ask you fellas what the worst soccer injuries have been, if there's a Joe Theismann level one recorded, but not sure I could handle the trauma right now

obvious but cool free kick

I don't think Lavezzi respects the management

Argentina without Messi are very messy

blimey, if an england player did that (and they were still in the tournament) Neil Ashton et al would be calling for him to be sent home.

xp

with all the 'messi decides they will play 433' etc Argentina maybe in a Domenech 2006 situation.

It's just not Di Maria's day, is it?

xp David Busst is the epl-era gold standard for terrible injuries iirc, but I've never dared look it up

Busst was a bad one. Larsson and Cisse both had horribly snapped legs. There have been fatalities on the pitch - Celtic keeper John Thomson died after taking a knee to the head in the 30s.

Charlton dude scored btw. LJ will be pleased.

Eduardo's ankle snap was, while not quite Busst levels of squeam, was a bit icky.

it was was

that Cisse one is the worst I've watch live, feel ill just thinking about it tbh

Ruben Roja tackle cf that thread I posted above

Goalie was sick at the Bust one iirc. There's also a picture of the groundsman pouring water on where the incident was and it bouncing up red.

Rezaaaaa

£5m, he's yours

omfg golazo

Liverpool's Shaqiri bringing it

So the Honduras shirt I'm wearing (£25 from Sports Direct!) may not actually be lucky, then.

Shaqiri does appear to have turned up for this one, which is unfortunate.

sakho with a nice elbow earlier. Are there any LFC players left in the tournament to assault someone?
