World Cup 2014

What a strike.

 

[Emcee77]

PIRATIKO!

Now park the bus.

 

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

I missed Greece's goal thanks to the stupid storm.

 

[gkIrish]

mother of god....

Did Japan just score right before half?? that's not good

 

[ACamp1900]

PIRATIKO!

Now park the bus.

That's a dangerous right there... I'd like to see Greece get more goals if I were you...

 

[gkIrish]

If Colombia loses some Ivy Leaguer is going to pay for it.

 

[Emcee77]

These Greek attackers with their shots from distance ... amazingly close on a couple, and without getting any type of numbers forward.

 

[gkIrish]

fuck

 

[STLDomer]

Gervinho has been magnificent in the World Cup so far

 

[gkIrish]

Thats what happens when you don't cash in on 2-3 breakaways

 

[Emcee77]

Clever stuff from CIV.

Now Greece will have to get forward, and they have looked dangerous even without numbers.

 

[Emcee77]

Penalty in stoppage time! unbelievable!

Penalty in stoppage time! unbelievable!

is johnnycando officiating? lolz

 

[aubeirish]

Every time I look over at my other TV Japan seems to be controlling the game. Is Colombia trying?

Japan is a good passing team. They are just horrific around the opposing net. It's pretty harsh to watch really.

 

[Emcee77]

What a finish. The Ivorians must be just gutted.

 

[notredomer23]

You don't make that call in stoppage time. That is awful by the official on such a questionable foul. I'm pissed.

 

[STLDomer]

Soft call for a call that decides the fate of two teams

Costa Rica v Greece and Columbia v Uruguay.

Put me in the Columbia bandwagon

 

[sparkyND]

Questionable penalty that late in the game. But both teams had plenty of chances anyways. Greece doing UEFA proud!

 

[gkIrish]

MY GUYS. I don't care if it was a soft penalty we deserved to win the game. Hit two crossbars. This is fucking great.

 

[IrishLax]

I hope you guys enjoyed watching two fixed matches today. Everything that is wrong with soccer in the Italy/Uruguay and Greece/Ivory Coast.

Happy for you gK but I think Ivory Coast was really gonna make some noise. I can't see Greece doing much, although a (possibly) favorable matchup against CR. It's a shame that Yaya Toure or Didier Drogba will never have made it past the group stage.

Bingo!

 

[aubeirish]

Greeks and Italians play the most boring brand of soccer. To me, it's unwatchable.

 

[gkIrish]

You better believe I was owed one (or 10) of those from being at the 2011 Michigan game.

You're probably right but this is exactly what people were saying in 2004. We didn't look good against Colombia but the Japan game wasn't fair to judge us by because we were down a man (which by the way was also a phantom call so again we were owed one). Honestly thought we were the better side today.

Off memory is this Greece's first ever World Cup win???

No Greece beat Nigeria? last world cup. First time they advance to knockouts.

 

[aubeirish]

After seeing Samaras clip himself into a penalty lol. I think it would be a great opportunity for FIFA to introduce the coaches challenge. Penalties should be able to be reviewed. The play is stopped anyways.

 

[Emcee77]

I'm definitely on the Greece bandwagon. Thought they played with a lot of heart and beat a more talented team today.

The only problem with that, it is still a judgment call. What one ref sees a penalty, another won't.
