Where's Wondo?!
Alright today's games are over. Picks for tomorrow???
I thought the Ecuadorian team was the much better team this morning. Just got lazy at the end.
Could have been different had the Ecuadorian player put that chance in the back of the net.
Nice smash and grab by the Swiss in stoppage time!
Methinks France are going to rue these missed chances....
I would have agreed at the time.... But now appears not so much.

Doing my best to watch soccer...I few things I can't manage to get past:
1. The flailing and fake injuries - ridiculous and completely unnecessary
2. Acting like you are the best athlete in the world after making a penalty kick... great job, but you suck if you miss that shot - total arrogance.
3. Running away from your teammates who are trying to congratulate you after a score - total arrogance.
How do you guys handle these things? I can't seem to just ignore them...

3. I don't really see the problem of running to the corner flag or to your fans to celebrate. Your team mates will inevitably catch up to you.
1. because it happens in other sports somehow makes it more bearable?
2. about the equivalent of making a free throw, hitting a single or running 10 yards for a first down. (difficulty wise, not effect on the game)
3. players often push their teammates away. It is clearly an act of self celebration.

23 hours. I am sooooo stoked. I'm gonna be super obnoxious
Hope everyone is enjoying the tournament. Very nice so far, and no Brazil problems. I'm just on pins and needles waiting for the games tomorrow, Germany/Portugal and US/Ghana. Oh man, I think I'll take the day off!
Lots of rain, but it's the rain forest and soccer is an all-weather sport.
Anyone who uses the word super in a phrase like that is already very obnoxious.
not sure why everyone has to be defensive. Just trying to start a discussion. There are plenty of positives, a ton actually. Baffles me the energy you spend to defend the obvious faults in the game. weird.
Not trolling at all. Interested in your perspectives on it. I just don't find "they do it other sports" to have any sort of significance. You don't think the two point about arrogance are legit? You think our youth should be doing cartwheels after making a penalty kick? Or running away from teammates to take lone credit for a scoring play?
I guess I did get my answers. Penalty kicks are really hard and they are running to cheer with the fans. Thumbs-up!
They would appear a lot more arrogant if they scored a PK and just went "Meh, easy peasy" They are in a no-win situation with you. As for celebrations in general, they are individuals, they will behave as such. That's no mystery, and no issue.
I guess it's perspective. I'd rather see players master ball skills than flops skills. I can't stand it in the NBA either.

So it's either excessive celebration or "meh, easy peasy" with no middle ground? LOL no-win argument with you.
Enjoy fellas. USA!! USA!!
