The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

Nah, Brazil looked like **** from the start.

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

German fans instructed to stay in the stadium and they will be escorted out.......

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

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

Australia almost beat Germany after they beat down Spain.

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.

I don't think vine's work here.
Have you decided who you're supporting this season?

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

The most historic result in WC history, and I missed it due to work

Can I assume that chants of "It's like watching Brazil" will have a new meaning in the future?

I'm actually glad they were finally found out to put to bed the myth that they are still a great side. I had always suspected that they fixed the final against France in '98 based mostly on the fact that they played so poorly........Now I have seen that they can do it when they are on their home ground when a win is the only acceptable result.

City of course hopefully I can watch some NCFC games. Hopefully City make a run in the Champions League. I'm not a front runner either I root for the Dodgers, Raiders, UCLA, and the LA Kings. Don't be bitter bro maybe you'll finish in the top 4 again.


The funny thing was Gervinho was Arsenals best player at the World Cup or I mean former player.

I'm really not even sure what that is supposed to mean, or how it relates to you supporting city this year, or not being a front runner confused.

Wait.....are you a teenager? Cause if so, sorry for picking on you so much.

 

[Reno_eNVy]

I root for the Dodgers, Raiders, UCLA, and the LA Kings..

Well for the love of Zeus and all that is holy, why the hell aren't you supporting the Galaxy?!?!?! AARRRGGG it's so frustrating.

Hell, it would be cool if you decided to support whatever Chivas USA rebrand the new owners go with. You live in an MLS city but you support a team that you'll probably never see live....

I root for the Galaxy & the Clippers also. I miss Beckham though, he could put the ball any where on a dime he was are Andrea Pirlo. Maybe Pirlo will come play for us in a couple years that would be awesome.

Sanchez to Arsenal doesn't make too much sense. He's a similar player in position to Podolski, Walcott or if you play him centrally he's more like Ozil except he shoots more. Arsenal would have been better saving up their pennies to attack Radamel Falcao, Edinson Cavani, or if he moved quicker Mario Mandzukic.

Squad depth maybe?

He's pacey, he can score (something we lagged behind in) and he can assist. Makes perfect sense to me.
