The 2014 World Cup Thread - Football, Favelas and Financial Turmoil

I am extremely pissed off. And it's not helping that most Bayern fans seem to be of the "fuck Kroos if he doesn't want to sign a contract with our club for way below his market value! We won without him anyway, he's not important!"

The part about him going to Madrid and going for cheap is secondary, I'm pissed off that Bayern would let him go at all. I'm in full blown meltdown over at Big Soccer.

If he was triple teamed wouldn't he just stand in the corner of the field and have two players freed up?

Yeah, I thought about that too. That's exactly how this game works.

Australia lost every game

Muller should be on there, so should Neuer, but that looks about right.

Good article about Germany from the 1982 side to now. Seen through examining Breitner, Ballack, and Muller.

E: My team is the same as Arnau's. Except I have Yedlin (should be Lahm, but FIFA has him as a midfielder), Muller, and Low. I would have liked to use a 4-4-2 and exclude Messi.

Khedira has played 2 games!

 

[Arnau]

And on the last one even me would have scored

 

[Arnau]

Van Gaal is with no discussion the best coach of the tournament miles away from the second.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

His team played 2 good games, none of them in the knockout rounds. I don't think he did anything remarkable against Mexico, Costa Rica, or Argentina and his team was awfully shitty in each game.

I don't get why people are hating so much this Argentina side. Everyone loved what Mourinho did at Inter and said he was a genius although their matches were horrible. I haven't heard a single word about Sabella's organised defence. Everyone said Spain was awesome in 2010 when they scored 8 goals in the whole tournament (although they defended with the ball not without it), but everyone hates this Argentina because they don't score 4 goals/match with that attacking strength.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

We loved Mou's Inter because they beat Barcelona.
