World Cup 2014 Post-Round of 16 Sabbath, Day 1

84joe [Edit] [Delete] 154 replies 10:04, 2 July '14

Argentina brush aside der Schweiz after another boring let down of a display from their trillion pound forward line. Angel Di Maria has the most annoying voice in the world, based on his post-match interview.

Bookies' favourites Belgium beat USA in an extra time thriller with missed chances galore and a career best performance from Tim Howard.

Please rank the remaining teams in order of who you would prefer to win the cup. Go!

  • Everyone saying Costa Rica are the plucky underdogs

    (while this obviously true) should remember/realise that economically/politically speaking they are the richest country in the region thanks to unwavering geo-political support for the CIA's 20th Century agenda in Latin America and their role in helping to keep down populist and grassroots movements in neighbouring countries, protecting American interests and playing a key role in keeping poor people poor.

  • Is the reason there are so many goals and such attacking teams,

    that the overall standard of players is...a bit shit? Lost count of how many Everton players were playing in the USA game last night. MOTM in the Switzerland game was someone who was too shit to play for West Ham. I seem to remember seeing Gary Medel in the team of the tournament. Who is Portugals second best player? Nani?

    Can't wait for some of the these shit-houses to get big money moves to Juve, Monaco and Spurs until everyone discovers they are useless.

    I am enjoying it all, obviously.

    meths | 2 Jul '14, 10:49 | X

      most of the teams in the tournament have forgotten how to defend. Much more enjoyable, probably not for Alan Hansen though.

      Severed799 @meths | 2 Jul '14, 10:57 | X
    • I think it’s partly that club sides now are drilled relentlessly week-in week-out to play to a certain system. That’s not possible to replicate at international level due to limited time with the players, so factors like team spirit or one or two form players become a lot more important.

      Less formulaic teams also tend towards more attacking football I think. Basically, it’s all Mourinho’s fault.

        • zere are a number of factors

          i think there's loads of players that don't give the slightest fuck about their club football once they leave their home country and they'll subsequently just do enough to earn a living at that level.

          also a lot of players only look good because they're playing in a system that suits them. when you play international football you have to be adaptable and it's difficult for a lot of players to cope with the changes. similar to how plenty of players who look good in england have looked shite in italy despite the standard being much lower overall because they need to fit in with rigid tactical systems and aren't up to it or whatever

            that Xavi Alonso when he first came to Liverpool just couldn't handle the fact that he was supposed to know how to tackle because in Spain it was considered a total last resort and he therefore had no idea how to do it.

  • Fairly gutted about USA going out,

    but I didn't have the same enthusiasm for them as 4 years ago (despite them being a better, more entertaining and spirited team this time) - either way I'd have been supporting Argentina in the next round. That last half hour might've been the best of the tournament so far

    Found all the second rounds offered at least something. And so many of them offered the same pattern of better team on paper (/group winners) doing the job but not at all looking convincing in doing so (Brazil, France, Germany, Belgium, Argentina, Holland) - which is kinda good cos you wanna see the best/biggest teams still in it, but also it's just so ridiculously open.

    Can't remember the last quarters where you could make a decent case for 7 of the last 8 going on to win the thing

    Order of preference:
    Argentina > Colombia > Brazil > Belgium > Germany > Costa Rica > France > Holland

      • Nigeria - Argentina was really great.

        Really enjoyed Messi's last minute goal against Iran as a moment, and the second half against Bosnia.

        It's a Spain style situation where I attribute at least some of the boringness to how deep the opponents tend to defend (especially when Argentina are potentially vulnerable at the back and sh/could be attacked), but obviously Argentina haven't clicked well so far.

        It just seems like unless Colombia go on to do something remarkable, or someone really steps it up a gear for the next 3 matches, we're not gonna be seeing a memorable once-in-a-generation team like Spain, but rather whoever's been least crap. And over that I'd much rather witness a historic Maradona-esque, one man winning on his own, type thing with the greatest player anyone under 35 will likely ever see.

        Winning £750 on Argentina / Messi top scorer is a factor too

    you hit the team that probably wouldnt win the world cup..?
    eg.. Its safe to say that man city, chelsea, real, barca, bayern etc would probably win..
    Could Arsenal.. spurs?

    Costa Rica - Plucky underdog
    Belgium - Likeable but not very entertaining
    Argentina - dead boring.
    Germany - are dicks (apart from Philipp Lahm)
    Brazil - are dicks (apart from David Luiz)

      but that's off teh menu jhustnow, so I'm going to do as follows:
      5.30- home to put on a washing and change into fit gear
      6- quick warm up run
      6.30- Bums Legs and Tums class
      7.00- PURE fat burn ultimate weight training class
      7.30- Ashtanga yoga
      8.45- tesco for weekly shopping
      9.30- sort out laundry and cook supper and make up lunches
      10.00- eat supper and consider half a zopiclone
      11- bed

      Tomorrow I am out with friends who are visiting from london from 5pm which is brilliantly timed and we will just go for a long dinner somehwere and maybe a band.

      I THINK THE KEY IS PLANNING. (Actually i'm not minding a couple of nights off to get teh excitement back for friday.)

    Columbia - Most entertaining team.
    Costa Rica - Underdogs. Assume they'd have to play out of their skin to win it.
    Argentina - Messi winning a World Cup is a thing that should happen.
    Brazil - Already have enough World Cups. Also, far enough ahead that we'll never catch them. Hosts.
    Germany - Also have a few. Not hosts.
    Belgium - Far less than the sum of their parts.
    France - Dunno, really. This would just make me angry for some reason.
