WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

Portugal look beatable, especially if Ronaldo's knee is in bad shape. But very little in this World Cup has been predictable, even after the first set of games.

With the amount of surprises we've had so far, it's entirely possible for the US to beat Portugal tomorrow. Could end up against Belgium in the first knockout stage, I'd say they have a fair chance against them too.

Dzeko wasn't offside..

Nigeria looks a lot better than against Iran too, but it's true 1-1 would be more fair (and more accurate since there was no offside).

Thought this was neat. Found on Reddit.

Portugal plays like shit and Ronaldo is almost done (unfortunately) and he has to be careful because he is jeopardizing his career.
If the US loses against us (Portugal), you really don't deserve to get through

There's been some bad calls in the tournament, but I think that officiating had the most impact on a game's results so far.

Was it really? Nigeria showed a lot more fire. 10 minutes away from an elimination Bosnia was still delivering a subdued and uninspired performance. A bit of a shame really, because they certainly have the potential to do a lot better than exiting the competition with two losses in two matches.

Well, put a stick up ass and stick me on a merry go round if you want to. That was some excellent soccer today. Fantastic effort on all sides.

Tomorrow is going to be pretty epic.

THIS is what soccer does to people. Be afraid, 'murica.

Szlia: Doesn't matter whether or not you enjoyed how they played. They got fucked by the refs.

Damned right. Soccer puts sticks in peoples asses, and puts them on a merry go round. That's clearly something 'Murica should fear. If that shit were allowed, Tuco would be considered normal. Honestly, what next?

Surely not!

Our basketball players play like soccer players...



...and our soccer players play like football players.



Still can't believe he finished the game with a broken nose.

There has been some bad calls, but overall I think the officiating has been pretty good compared to some of the other world cups we've had.
