Haters Guide To The World Cup

England: AHAHAHAHAHA YOU HAVE NO SHOT. None. Zero. You are the Knicks of soccer. If only your national team could make like your EPL teams and import legitimately talented players from nations that aren't populated exclusively with ginger albinos who have a moping complex. Instead, you get the corpse of Wayne Rooney. Is David Beckham still on this team? David Beckham was fucking terrible. "Oh, but he was so good at corner kicks!" Well, that's brilliant. A player who excels only when the opposing team is dumb enough to accidentally boot the ball behind its own net. WHAT AN ASSET.

First game in, and the fix is already in.

That Japanese ref was pure shite.

It would've been 2-2 if he didn't call that PK and the 50/50 ball in the air against Olic...

Also didn't help that Pletikosa was seriously weak in net. He was so slow to react, it was like his feet was in a bucket of cement...

uggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Interesting article on this years WC. Noise makers banned from stadiums, pre match decisions by officials for 'cool down breaks', Goal Line Technology (GLT) and spray painted free kick lines.

Awesome World Cup so far! If Chilie n Spain tie today, Spain gets knocked out lol

So glad Spain and England are out! Awesome World Cup thus far!!

Italy in tough on Tuesday vs Suarez, Cavani & company too. I don't mind Italy but I like seeing the likes of Chile, Uruguay, Argentina & Colombia do well so I hope Uruguay knock them out.

ANYBODY BUT BRAZIL !!!!!

But yeah it's been a great World Cup so far, lots of goals and upsets. Only a few shitty matches thus far.

A rematch of Italia 90 for the final (the first final I remember watching as a kid) would be awesome and is what I am rooting for after my team eventually goes out

I dunno WTF is happening in this World Cup, but god damn it do I love it and finding it's loads more fun that previous ones.

Upsets, unpredictable group standings and play, biting, it's awesome!

I think I have a crush on the CBC World Cup anchor lady. Each day and morning I look forward to hearing her voice and see her face

She is more annoying here than on HNIC. She also looks worse on this program. On the graphic clips it doesn't look like shes wearing any make up.

When she's talking about twitter after a segment, she rambles on.

Think they'll pretend to play aggressive football and just tie?

Thanks to the 2-2 draw between the United States and Portugal on Sunday, FIFA faces its nightmare scenario: two teams needing a draw in their match to ensure progression into the knockout round. Cynically, all the United States and Germany need to do in their Group G clash on Thursday is sit down, pick some grass, have a nap, and do absolutely nothing. A 0-0 draw would see both teams through to the knockout round, no matter what Portugal or Ghana do in their match. It�s a scenario FIFA has done its best to prevent, after the infamous farce in Spain 1982 that saw an 80-minute kickabout between West Germany and Austria, sending Algeria home and bringing shame to both sides. Knowing a one-goal West German win would see both sides through, both sides sat on the ball after the goal was scored, despite the growing jeers from angry fans. The �Non-Aggression Pact of Gij�n,� as it�s known in Germany, is seen as one of the lowest points in World Cup history, making a mockery of the competition and depriving the tournament of seeing the underdog Algerians make history. It was the catalyst that sparked FIFA to schedule the final slate of group matches to be played simultaneously, so outcomes aren�t clear until the very end. But the specific series of events that could render that system moot have happened in Brazil. Germany and the U.S. both sit on four points, while Ghana and Portugal both have one. If Germany and the U.S. tie their match, it is impossible for Ghana and Portugal to catch them. Immediately after the Portugal-United States match, the questions began to swirl � will we see a repeat of 1982? Will U.S. manager and former Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann collude with his friend, German manager Joachim L�w? For Klinsmann�s part, he isn�t biting. �You�re talking about a game that is decades away in its own part of German history and is not part of the United States,� he told reporters. �The United States is known for giving everything they have in every single game. If you look in the past, we make things happen. Otherwise Mexico wouldn�t be here.� Klinsmann is referring to the Americans� final match against Panama in World Cup qualification, a meaningless tie for the U.S., but crucial for Mexico. The Americans saved Mexico�s World Cup hopes with two goals in injury time, allowing El Tri to clinch a playoff with New Zealand.

Some interesting matchups this weekend, I really have no feeling as to who will take this thing. All the big teams have weaknesses and can be beaten, there isn't a single team that I can point out and say they will be playing in the finals. Should make for some great viewing ...

I think it's fairly safe to say that Argentina will beat Belgium, and the Netherlands Costa Rica, and then it's not too tough to imagine the Dutch beating the Argentines in the semi-final; but yeah, those other two match-ups tomorrow are way too close to call. Between Brazil, Columbia, Germany, and France I can easily imagine any of them making it to the final or even winning the whole thing. I'd still put my theoretical money on the Dutch though (plus it'd be about damn time they finally won).

Yeah great games coming up, france and germany is gonna be great... fingers crossed on columbia beating brazil...
argentina vs netherlands would be an excellent semi final... i think we are due for 1 or 2 surprises thou... Costa Rica wins the World Cup lol

I hope this sporadic flu that Germany caught isn't as bad as the media makes it to be. If these guys are keeling over then France will walk all over them...

Colombia has a legitimate good shot at taking Brazil out today. They are a foce to be reckoned with! Rodriguez is such a great playmaker, and can definitely finish too

Costa Rica vs Netherlands is another good matchup. Netherlands shouldn't have too much trouble taking this one.

Argentina vs Belgium will come down to the wire. Hoping for Belgium to come through on top though

The Dutch are going through tomorrow, not so sure about Argentina though. The Belgians can knock them out, wouldn't surprise me at all.

Either way I hope the Germans knock out those diving, cheating Brazilian ****s on Tuesday. I'm sick of watching them and their antics.

Theres nothing I'm more scared of than a Germany - Netherlands final.

First they have to get through Costa Rica though, who are doing decent enough..

Belgium Argentina I hope Belgium gets it.

Germany vs. Costa Rica final.
