Such a bad post

Its a funny thing about trolls.
Once you stop giving them attention, they go away.

Packersfan?

So you post something about a program we have abandoned over 40 years ago and fail to understand that they are watching and kicking a soccer ball around on the international space station right now?

Good Bazinga man? You really showed everybody here?

I feel sorry for him... he's been kicked out of his home in the football thread and now he's here.

Maybe we could take him in under the condition that he agrees to be our resident Spurs fan.

I found it refreshing. He could have been crying like a number of other players.

If Brazil win this WC, it will be due to the homer refereeing. They are NOT the Brazil of the 70's. .........There, I said it.

Well... let's see how Brazil play today without two of their biggest stars, against a strong German team.. if they overcome them with no controversial calls.. then they've earned the finals for sure.

I think this will be tightly called today. The CR is the one who missed the "bite" and the fallout over the knee to the back non call, non card in the other match.

There has been so much media attention and refs watch and read stuff that the CR will call a tight match.

I'll be happy if they're not the Brazil of a few days ago. That was a disappointingly ugly game. I tuned in to watch James vs Neymar in The Beautiful Game and got a choppy foulfest. You woner about how the players will perform under the pressure, not about whethr the game is too big for the ref.

Predictions sure to go wrong: Germany 2-1, Argentina 1-0.

Germany 1-0 Brazil

Argentina 0-0 Netherlands Argies win on pens

Somebody should have reminded Brazil that they had an important game today!

Brazil will not be a safe place to be tonight

Is there a mercy rule?

A Brazilian coworker of mine is barely keeping her spirits up right now. I think she can't make up her mind if she wants to run out the door screaming, or just sit there and laugh.

Trouble is, there are about 4 TV's on right now tuned to the game in our office. She can't escape.

US gave a better fight then this!

Does she look like this?

This is fantastic!

If I was Argentina or the Netherlands I'd be looking on in horror about now....

Tomorrow both teams are going to be "I don't want to score, you score. " "I don't want to score you think I want to go up against Germany?"

True, but the ability with which Germany found the weakness and dispatched them is impressive.

I've seen teams playing against weak opposition struggle to convert chances. German have been clinical with all their chances... and as I type this it's now 7-0....

It's a football score

Brazilians are feeling far too suicidal to murder anyone right now.

That was a Brazilian waxing!! zing

I highly doubt van persie and company would let that happen!

Australia almost beat Germany after they beat down Spain.

Must have missed that...
I was watching the World Cup where they were in 2 different groups and Australia had no wins. Australia beat Germany in a friendly back in 2011 2-1, but I don't think they've played since. Last World Cup, Australia and Germany were in the same group, but Germany won 4-0.
