World Cup 2014

Do you hate USC or Michigan? That is why. They are our biggest rival. They owned us at the beginning but we have been dominating them of late(12-5-5 in the last 22). They are the dirtiest scumbag players I have ever witnessed play soccer. The US and Mexico have come close to brawls multiple times.

Ah, I feel ya. Yeah of course, now I get it. ty.

This. All of this. There is more to it between the two fan bases also,... very little love lost between the two in terms of soccer.

Honestly, Mexico soccer is my number one villian in all of sports... I'll root for SC before them.

Ho-Lee-Fuk

I'm so surprised I was totally unaware of the hostility between the two. Guess I don't root for either so I wouldn't be around the environment. And I'm mostly out of the US when the Cup happens.
Cool, I'll start hating them too. Cheers for the heads up!

5-1....who would have ever thought it?!?!

Big money to have been made had someone had the guts to put it on Netherlands.

 

[gkIrish]

Did I mention I picked Netherlands to win the group?

 

[ACamp1900]

There is still time.......

 

[NDinL.A.]

I have Spain winning 1-0, but a tie wouldn't surprise me. Neither team needs to start off hot to advance.

And by 1-0, I really meant we'll get our asses kicked in historically bad fashion. Holy hell.

If Del Bosque plays his younger players, I can see Spain making a deep run. If he sticks with his older players too much and doesn't go with Silva and Santi et al, I think we could be in trouble. Hell, Spain lost their first game in 2010 and still won the WC.

At least it's only one game. Gotta try some new blood though.

 

[NDRock]

Not sure what is more fun, watching Miami get destroyed or Spain.

 

[ACamp1900]

It's way too early to tell where this goes for Spain, but let's face it... before the generation that won the Cup they were never a real world force.. just another nice Euro national team stuck in Europe... it would not surprise me to see them fall back to that once this generation fully ages... not that I fully expect that either in fairness... but it's certainly possible.

 

[aubeirish]

Did not expect Spain to get handled like this.

Anyways, I'm going with Germany to win it all. I really enjoy watching them play.

too early to tell imo... but when its all said and done in Europe I don't see them ever really overtaking Germany and Italy. I see them as more of France, and that is nothing to be ashamed of. Already better than the English...

Bro.... that must have been tough... It was a nice run. Time for Italy to win the cup again!

FORZA AZZURRI!!!!

Dude, it was fuuuuuugly. At least it was beyond decisive, and hopefully a great wake-up call.

As for Italy, well, we'll see if your defense can come through. Shocking to see the Azzuri with questions in the back. Probably going to watch the Italy-England game with James Cachey (did you know he's Italian?) and Frazier tomorrow night. Should be a great game!

I'm hurtin' right with you NDinLA. I was their number 1 fan in 2010 to win it..and now expected MUCH more than that horrendous performance. Wow. That has to be a record of some kind. Winning the WC to the following year opening getting destroyed 5-1.

Who will you root for if Spain is done? I'm all in for Argentina.

 

[AdmiralBackhand]

Loved that Dutch fire!

 

[notredomer23]

Chile-Australia should be fun to watch. All Chile can do it attack.

I hope its a good game. I'm totally pulling for Chile. Be interesting to see if they have a shot.

USA baby!!!

But since Jurgenn said the USA cant win it all, then I'll be with you rooting on Argentina. I'm also partial to England bc i see so many of their players play in the EPL. But I'm still in it for Spain. Ain't over yet!

 

[IrishBlood81]

Beautiful! Two goals in less than two minutes! whoo they look good man.

Cool come over to the Messi side. Yeah it aint over for Spain...yet. If it wasn't such a demolish, I'd be more hopeful...but that was the worst I've seen in quite some time.

 

[gkIrish]

I had a feeling Australia would make this a game. Go Aussies!

-_-

Go Chile!

 

[IrishBlood81]

Game over! Thanks Chile! 3-1

 

[ACamp1900]

Kind of pisses me off I haven't been able to watch any games to this point... Really looking forward to non stop soccer over the weekend... Though I will miss a couple games tomorrow too.

SIAP How Brazil sounds when it scores in the World Cup This is how my neighborhood sounds when Brazil scores in the World Cup on Vimeo

 

[Cackalacky]

^fuck I was just going to post this. That is amazing. I love the internet and soccer.

 

[IrishBlood81]

Haha, I wished.

Went to Brasil, Chile, and my third one is not technically South America but it is close enough. We drove all over Costa Rica and Panama(11 guys lol, there are a lot of X-rated stories tied to that one smh). In Panama, we spent new years eve in Bocas del Toro where I hung out with a lot of South American brothers from all over(Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, etc...). That was very cool.

I was actually supposed to go to Colombia this winter with a bunch of guys, but it didn't pan out. Some of them went to Belize instead. Breaking bad fans. It is definitely at the top of my list. I was talking to this woman sitting next to me in the plane recently (beautiful Colombian Milf) and she was really selling it to me.

What can I say, I love South American women.
I'm a fairly muscular blond guy with blue eyes, so I'm fishing with dynamite over there! haha.

Very interesting adventures. I'll send this over to PM to not clog up this thread. Voce falha portuguese?

As for selling you Colombia...I'm their number 1 salesman. Its the best country I have ever been too... of the 40 that I have visited. I'll go into more detail in pm.

lol at that last part! I know the feeling mate, same story here except a bit more muscular. lol!
