Still can't get over Low taking off Goetze, he's their most creative player that is at least established. You can talk about Draxler all you want but he was injured half the year and played for Schalke who competed for nothing.

He even bites himself!!! Herrera already vacationing!

It works great if your keeper knows what he's doing as it allows your defense to play a really high offside line. This allows you to squeeze the space between your midfield and D to win the ball back quick.

Don't understand why they are letting someone play with a maxi pad on their head..... Howedes and Mustafi as Full Backs, Low has finally lost it as Lahm is way better than either and then you can bring in a actually good midfielder as well. Stupid....

Was rooting for Nigeria since Sakho was out injured but then Odemwingie reminded me what a shit he is and I could care less. Neuer trying to gift Algeria a lead already....

Enyemea having the game of his life. Edit: Guessed I jinxed him as you can't come out like that and not get the ball.....

Should have been red on Matuidi, Onazi is Nigeria's lynchpin in midfield so that's a big blow.

Wow, what a save by the Nigerian keeper!

Very little is changed while the game is actually being played, most teams play the same offensive and defensive systems on a weekly basis and then usually make subtle changes specific to that weeks opponent during the days of training leading up to the game. You will see coaches attempt...

Its a really fine line as you don't want a defender to think they can get away with anything in the box as then it may be impossible to score. At the same time its tough to see a game end that way. Again though Mexico had plenty of time to build on their lead and instead chose not to.

Marquez has only himself to blame, he can't go in like that on Robben. Robben did embellish it and its a horrible way to lose but Mexico needed to do better.

You can tell the game is suffering because of the heat which is why everybody knows the Qatar WC will be played in winter. The issue FIFA has is the European leagues and American sponsors are dead set against it.

He already is, Monaco paid 40m pounds for him last summer and his weekly salary is supposedly 80k pound per week.

FUUUUUUFCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!@

Webb was horrible in the 2010 final and botches more calls in the EPL than I can count. He just looks like an authority figure and that's it. Go Chile!!

I was off-balance as I was typing that and accidentally hit the keys. Great game this while showing off some of the worst play acting yet seen by the Brazilians.

Until he is sold to Barca then his explanation sounds entirely reasonable. Dont be jelly.

Supporters play a big part in the atmosphere as well, LFC players went to a Red Sox game 2 years ago and didn't understand why the team was playing music on their own. That doesn't happen in Europe as the clubs fans sing and chant throughout the whole game, helps that their drunk as shit while...

Or GolTV with the Bundesliga which for my provider isn't even available at all. If you like watching the World Cup pick a Premier League team and start following them on NBC when the season starts, it's great and the fans are crazy with their chants and shit.

There's actually is quite a bit of strategy and nuance involved in Soccer at the highest level, I think most Americans don't realize that as even with our national team it looks at times not that far removed from your kids on the weekend kick and rush about tactics. Living in Los Angeles I've...

Defor isn't normally a starter so his red card really means nothing. If on the other hand it was Hazard then yeah, that would be amazing for the US but since Belgium have nothing to play for he's on the bench. Jones has been our best player but as you can tell he's not used to being so...

Germany with the better chances but I like how the USA is hanging in there. Jurgen has had a midas touch so far but it seems Brad Davis isn't working out as he's been invisible, needs to be subbed off for someone with pace to run at Per as that's Germany's weak point.

I'd have to dig out some old books for the figures but there were definitely more than just a handful of Tigers on the Western Front. Aside from the British Firefly which used the 17lb gun the Allies had nothing that could penetrate the frontal armor from basically any distance in theatre so...

Uruguay have qualifiers for the Copa America after this which is an official FIFA tournament, those will count against the 9.

9 International matches and then the next 4 months for anything football related.

A complete and total miscarriage of justice, this is an outrage!!! Chiellini is a dirty, cheating bastard and I'd say probably getting bitten was the least of his issues in that game. Alex Ferguson, the well known lover of all things Italian, would definitely agree with me. Just par for the...

He's just misunderstood. Get with the program man.

I'd rather someone spit at me and then fight then have my leg snapped in half and my career ended. How about you?

Gutted for the misses, her whole family could kill A. Valencia right now. Raking his studs down Digne's leg definitely was intentional as he had time to pull back yet still went with it. He stole a living at ManU last year and that seems to be continuing for the national team.

Shaqiri even when healthy is a bench player for Bayern due to Ribery and Robben which is why he's rumored to be leaving Bayern this summer.

On pins and needles for Ecuador now with the Swiss score.

Again, are those tackles worse than Suarez's? Are you saying Suarez on his own does stuff worse, aside from the biting, than your average player? If he truly was going to bite Chiellini at the Confed Cup don't you think someone would have been said at that time. Just as some LFC fans can be...

This is hilarious, are those tackles an issue for just Suarez or other people as well? Footy fans have a real issue in distinguishing what is wrong and what should be part of the game. Biting shouldn't be part of the game nor should tackles that try to deliberately harm or injure yet you're...

What about this? or This? or how about this one?

Still think Aguero is going to be a big miss if he's out for any length of time, great game though.

Messi going to Messi

Aguero looks like he's built like a bull but fuck is he fragile. If it's anything like his ManC injuries he's done for this WC which would be a big blow even as good as Messi is playing.

Roy must love Suarez at this point. Worst WC showing ever and the Brit tabloids are all Suarez and nothing else. Amazingly enough the Italians barely say anything about it instead just saying their team is shit. Since FIFA and the English FA hate each other hopefully they just pin a medal on...

And? I don't get your point.

Sorry for what? I don't care for how long they ban him for. As long as it ultimately doesn't affect the team I support, however remote that seems, then whatever at this point. The guy is an amazing footballer and unfortunately his mental instability will just end up costing someone at some...
