BlackBolt3 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I may be a bit biased because I was assigned this team in the Concept Cup, but go Costa Rica! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnythingChicago Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Teams that score the match's first goal on a penalty kick in this year's World Cup: -Are 0-2-0 with a combined goal differential of -6 -Have failed to score again in that match -Have allowed 8 unanswered goals -Are former World Cup champions -Reached the semifinals of the 2010 World Cup in South AfricaCan you guess which teams I'm talking about?

IanC Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Uruguay played most of the game as 4-4-2 and it just goes to show how vunerable and outdated tactic it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I made a promise that if Los Ticos won this game, I'd head down to Costa Rica right away.I'd better get packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Had anyone told me that Costa Rica would beat Uruguay, I'd probably be eating a hat or some sort of clothing item right now. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soarindude Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 This is how the game is supposed to be played. Much better than theta South American/African style of play. Real football is Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Good game but the Creamerite in me cannot get past England's whites. Insipid comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsketor Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Italy takes it 2-1....too many hopeless and long scoring chances by England. Many thanks to Discrimihater for making the sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 That was stressful as :censored: but I'm glad Italy pulled through with the win. On to Costa Rica this Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 If Rooney is not being played in his best position then drop him. Wilshere is a poor mans David Batty, He brings nothing new when he comes on just passes it sideways or backwards all the time. Wasteful. We lack the killer touch in the final third. Well played Italy. Pirlo dictates the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 This is how the game is supposed to be played. Much better than theta South American/African style of play. Real football is Europe. If that game was your example of "real football", count me out. Yaaaaaaawn. I made a promise that if Los Ticos won this game, I'd head down to Costa Rica right away. I'd better get packing. Promise aside, I definitely suggest Costa Rica as a tourist destination. It's beautiful. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

kevsim1 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Really rooting for the Elephants here. Possession in their favour, but they just can't capitalize. 1-0 JPN.On a side note, since the world cup expanded to the 32 teams, this the 5th world cup since, there has never been more than 8 games played consecutively without a draw. With Brazil, Mexico, The Netherlands, Chile, Italy, Costa Rica and Colombia all winning, #8 is this JPN-CIV game, #9 would be Ecuador-Switzerland.

Sport Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I love Ivory Coast's colors. Both their orange and their bright green make me feel good. Also I'm glad I'm watching this because I drew Japan for the World Cup redesign contest and this whole time I've been working on their set I thought their hot pink was red. Blue and pink is way more interesting than blue and red. I can work with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
