World Cup 2014

no they'll be well used to him by now tbf

Is there any way that tonight's game can be anything other than an anti-climax?

Strictly no, but I'm pretty intrigued by it. Kind of feel that either side might also be ripe for a shoeing, albeit to a lesser extent, but I couldn't say who's more likely to do it to whom.

No no, I'm looking forward to two teams playing football tonight instead of one and a knockabout comedy troupe rehearsing for a stint at the Edinburgh Festival.

Fun fact: the Belgium girl from that GIF, Axelle Despiegelaere, has signed a model contract with L'Oreal, having been 'discovered' this WC.

Everything's possible people!

yeah, I'm over her

should be on the transfer thread

Something good has come out of this WC. Glad to see!

Job at centre back for loleção if she wants it.

maybe L'Oreal would be up for a swap deal with Luiz

Had it with hype over this so-called golden generation of Belgian fans.

I thought we had a moratorium in place on "tiki-taka" as a symptom of poor journalism, esp now ppl speak of its demise. Awful lot of quick one-touch passing fron germamy last night, particularly good game from lahm running things in his guardiola role

Khedira was the man last night

Isn't he another one of Arsenal's imaginary signing targets?

Dutch will be making subs at the hour mark tonight to stay fresh for final

eh, especially when you get to the tail end of the tournament, i find it hard to imagine a european team beating a south american team in south america

Kinda of think Argentina will win tonight based on the illogical reasoning that Brazil having to play them on Saturday is too much.

brazil beating argentina for 3rd would be a good redemption story

I mean I don't want it to happen, but from a narrative pov

It's not like the Olympics, nobody gives a fuck about 3rd in the WC. If Brazil win they'll be shrugs at best, if they get humiliated again....

I know nobody gives a fuck about the actual title, that's why it matters that it would be against argentina

it's about as important as the confederations cup

Yeah that's the best of the covers/headlines I've seen.

You know that feeling you get when all your wishes are answered and you just feel a bit... empty?

100% behind Germany now whatever.

Nah, wouldn't mind seeing Robben diving his way to a World Cup winners medal. But, seriously, what a bummer for the Germans if they don't win it now.

I'll root for anybody against Germany

Haha

“Because he doesn’t like physical contact, you have to make him feel it,” Demichelis declared. “You have to get under his skin.

“We have to be aggressive, to make the Dutch feel the passion of the Argentine player, especially to Robben.”

robben watching interview via palantir, cackling

be on the look out for martin pressing his crotch against arjen then

what's the currency?

USD (top left)

ah yes. so crazy.

Probably a fake tbh, though after reading that article about football betting and all the sidebets that go on, I wouldn't be surprised if it were real
