World Cup 2014

Danny Murphy has an unfortunate 'young Lawro' twang to his voice.

"the likes of Muralles, Lukaka, Demberley"

Ref @ Felliani:"you cut your hair during the break or it's over!"

US has had more opportunities in this half than in the rest of their games combined

lol why are both of these teams so bad at passing

giving each other a chance / match fixing

two teams of optimists

Lineker on twitter right now:

It's open, yet tight. Some would say that's the perfect combination.

first 40 seconds: fun
ever since: annoying

belgium had the ball for like ten mins straight at one point

another masterclass in ineffectual gallumphing up and down from fellaini there

ffs Lineker

obv i know jack shiz about soccer compared to most itt but yea it looked sloppy to my eyes. tho USA seemed to settle down a bit? seems like way too many misplaced passes, a few really nice ones that weren't executed well on reception.

but hey w/e tie game

also does Bradley know he's not playing this game on his Xbox

ffs Lineker

took me a second but eww

getting into this

calling for a yellow card when yr opponent has committed a yellow card offence is not a heinous crime smdh at youse upthread

Shearer saying everyone should do their homework: "That should just happen!"

us approach to playing fullback: be really, really fast

as proven here:

if I was Cameron's manager I'd spend half time beating him round the face and head and calmly tell the rest of them as he's carted out "next man gets a needless yellow, well he just dies like /that/ snaps fingers"

Sorry imago but no American football allowed itt; the World Cup is about international football

Beautiful try. Ngwenya for Cameron second half?

gonna maybe scour this thread after the tournament and run a poll of best 龜 troll efforts; that one won't be on it

...nah not getting into a discussion with darraghmac again ;-)

halftime buzzfeed feature

Which punk band was Lineker in again?

rte sound feed 5 seconds ahead of play, slight delay always evident ever since I remember but ffs lads

The Leicsploited!

Stand one mile from the screen and you're sorted iirc xp

Hats off to USA for leading 0-0 at halftime tbh

when are these fuckdogs gonna learn that yr message doesn't matter when the only thing 2 billion people are thinking about is horrible ways for you to expire

Damn you for pointing this out, this is torture now

i noticed it but decided to overlook it in the spirit of fair play

Oh gosh Bradley's attempt to tackle Fellaini, which Fellaini just ignores

did we already have DaMarcus Beasley down in the 'mandatory use of full name' list

Origi how did you miss that?!

mm, a little sloppy

Belgium very much knocking on the door at the moment

why does klinsmann keep helping belgium recover the ball when it goes out of bounds?

Lovely stuff from Belgium

wow that would have been a sikk one timer

good ball there, mmhmm

end capitalism

you could try unfollowing them, hoos!

Can't see the US holding out much longer

Danny Murphy has an unfortunate 'young Lawro' twang to his voice.

half-listening i thought it was lawrenson until the conspicuous amount of engagement struck me.

in honour of US soccer fans I would like to turn my attention to stats, specifically debunking danny murphy's stat about michael bradley covering more ground than any other player in the WC. pre this match he'd run 38k, putting him at #62, though he makes it to #17 for distance covered w/out possession, but he's still out there, running around, so he's got time to climb the table

what the hell prompted that Artful Dodger riff?

Manuel Neuer at #1
