*Official* Knockout Stages

[Teja.]

Mexico were looking absolutely terrific in the beginning, then the ref ****ed them over, and they haven't looked the same side from then(except a few minutes after 40)

 

[sledger]

Haha what a debacle, will gladly go back to rooting for Germany to win the thing after that. CBA to re-read the rest of the thread, but I dearly hope nobody has been defending the England performance. Maybe England will have a shot at winning something when they learn the incredibly difficult footballing skill of passing the ball along the ground and they stop picking Gareth ****ing Barry. Come on Germany ffs.

 

[Ikki]

The refs have **** on this WC.

No one seems to be, tbf. However, let's make no bones about it, Lampard scored.

 

[Uppercut]

Holy cow, that was good.

 

[Jono]

What a strike!

 

[Teja.]

I detest Carlos Tevez.

 

[Mr Casson]

Tevez!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Brilliant goal.

England were dire, should have conceded more than 4 goals. A truly shocking performance.

However, they were not at all dire after scoring 2-1 and then 2-2 from nowhere and...oh wait, they didn't score 2-2. TBF, their good period was all based around attacking at 100mph like only England can and I enjoyed watching that.

I was watching in a room full of people and every single one of us called the goal in real time. Too bad the linesman, post and ball were in a straight line when the ball bounced about a foot behind the line. Technology, folks...let's have it, 'mkay?

 

[Sir Alex]

Holy cow, that was good.

That was lucky and selfish.

But yeah good for Argentinians.

 

[Pratters]

1.15 AM. Gotta reach my factory at 7, So, Good night. Regarding my opinions of football, I don't claim to be the most knowledgeable fan and am always more than willing to change views but from what I have seen, I prefer La Liga. Condolences to the English fans.

 

[Uppercut]

???

 

[Sir Alex]

He had no control over the ball and it rebounded off a Mexican defender and came back to him.

He had no confidence of passing that to anyone, he could easily have set it up but instead went for a long ranger because that's the best thing he could do to get himself a goal in that situation.

We have seen how difficult it is to do long rangers and how intelligent teams like Germany have curtailedit and reaped success. It was purely lucky and it could've gone anywhere.

 

[Uppercut]

Tevez scores from that kind of range all the time. Also, were you looking the other way when Mesit Oezil scored a wonder goal from similar range to get Germany into the second round? I'm sorry, I think you're just talking complete bollocks. Again.

In other news, I'll be having a bit of that next season thanks.

 

[The Sean]

In other news, I'll be having a bit of that next season thanks.

Ha ha yep, quality goal by the boy. Reckon he should be our first choice next year, given that he now has two more career World Cup goals than Wayne Rooney.

 

[sledger]

I would also like to retract any negative comments I have previously made about Thomas Muller.

 

[Smudge]

Fun thread.

 

[Jarquis]

I PRETY MUCH HAVE no friend after admittinf Germany were good and we were ****ing awful. lOGIC FTW. ****S

 

[Langeveldt]

Haha seriously? That's hilarious.

Worst probably the worst refereeing call I've ever seen.

Me too.. Hand of god and hand of frog, well they were in the moment with limbs flying around everywhere.. I don't think I've ever seen such a bad call in any sporting event ever, including village cricket
