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.

They're basically the bad guys man, and don't forget it.

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
- I think it's mostly that
  
  most of the teams in the tournament have forgotten how to defend. Much more enjoyable, probably not for Alan Hansen though.
  
  stupidsexyflanders @meths | 2 Jul '14, 10:56 | X
  - Are you saying Gary Medel knew how to defend in the first place?
    
    meths @stupidsexyflanders | 2 Jul '14, 10:58 | X
- nah but
  
  Neymar, Big Jim Rod, Muller, Robben (diving/worstcuntness aside) have all been top
  
  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.

        umlaut_ampersand @ohgood | 2 Jul '14, 14:23 | X
    - 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

      - I remember reading once
        
        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.

    international coaches are like 'no time to learn this tiki taka stuff, but we can give high pressing a go', so everyone has 4+ forwards and a three-man leaky defence
    
    84joe @umlaut_ampersand | 2 Jul '14, 11:13 | X
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

    Severed799 @Royter-Hatfood | 2 Jul '14, 11:23 | X
    
    Smee this'd this
  - 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

sub thread: how far down the league table do you think youd go befor

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?

  So anyone above Charlton.
  
  Royter-Hatfood @Matt_was_taken | 2 Jul '14, 11:30 | X
- Everton, Bilbao, everyone below Juventus and Napoli, Leverkusen, Monaco
  
  No other league Champions would win it.

  brazil - basically 1/3 psg, city and chelsea
  france - arsenal
  italy - juve
  colombia - dunno, sevilla?
  uruguay - twats
  ghana - ghana

UPTOWN TOP RANKING

France - because the afterparty will be incroyable.
Colombia - because the bar across the road from my work is Colombian HQ and I'm pretty sure if they win then I'll get a kiss from a Colombian girl if I go there.
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)
Holland - are dicks and wear orange

did he win the pl?

  But he won the league in Portugal and will be part of the 9 month PSG procession to the title next year.

Severed799 this'd this
- Normally I'd just smoke and drink myself to death
  
  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.)

Netherlands - I live here/the support has been great/they never win anything.
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.
