    Agreed. Mexico is the most consistent suck ass in soccer history. They turned it around in 1994 but they still can’t play the fifth game. Mexico is indeed the biggest underachievers in World Cup soccer. 

    Just reply to people talking shit about Mexico as follows:

    Cielito Lindo "Canta y no llores" is our theme for a reason dumbass. Now tell me something I don't know.

    Credit goes to France. That was a salty defensive effort, and the Red Devils never got a chance to execute a proper counter. I thought it was officiated well overall with the exception of the missed Hazard penalty near the end. Then again, Belgium arguably got bailed out against Brazil on the Kompany tackle, so I can't complain too much. France's disrupting the pace of play at the end was irritating, but I'd expect the same from almost any side protecting a 1-0 lead in a WC semi. 

    I think Belgium will contend again given how they've been developing youth talent for the past two decades. I'm optimistic that the golden generation is just the beginning.

    All of France was not complaining and all of Belgium knew it was coming. It is just the way the game is played.

  3. So when it is over will it be remembered as a classic hard fought battle like West Germany v France in 1982. Kids that don't know any better, with immense talent, will play their hearts out. It could make for great drama during the game. Both defenses have proved vulnerable. Both offenses have proved to be very capable of producing goals. This should be fun.

    No. And no one ever gives a shit about it.

    For fans that are fans of the losers of the game it is a verification that they sucked and were lucky to make the semi final or that the coach and the players did the right thing by sitting out all the best players. For the fans of the winners it is one more chance to bitch about how if they would have done this or that they did not have to be watching this game and should instead be watching the next day's game. For the coach of the winners he will endlessly quote that he got third place in a major competition.

    The controversial no call penalty... the ball was still well in bounds when contact was made.  BBC guys said Neymar’s previous flopping made it a no call.

    If Neymar does not over run the ball and tries to come to a stop he would have been run over. At that point it would have been penalty but he over ran ball making it the right call.

    Once Nigeria got knocked out I started rooting for France because of how they fly up and down the pitch / field.  Belgium is right up there with them so it’s a disappointment to me that they play each other in the semis.  I really don’t mind any of the remaining teams except the Russians.  Fuck those cocksuckers.

    England or Belgium because they are playing enjoyable football.

     

  7. For all those talking bullshit about England and Belgium wanting to end up second. Now they see that things take care of themselves. Play Japan if you end up first or play Colombia that has started to figure it out if you end up second. May be a decent game in the last 10 minutes if they are tied. I think they both stroll waiting to push on chances during the game and really go all out the last 10 minutes to get Japan.

  8. At minute 75 in the Korea v Germany game and Mexico down by three I told my family I am gong to take the bad luck as far as away as possible and I started running away from the house two long blocks then I started walking back. Knocked on the door and my family tells me Korea scored two goals. I come in it is minute 77 even though they gave them 6 extra minutes. I let again and now I just game back. We move on and I will take no matter how it comes.
