World Cup 2014

What? Forgive my ignorance but who gives out this kind of permission? I would have assumed that Mohammed, Allah or whichever religous deitys’ rules couldn’t just be waived. Is it like the pope giving permission to rape little boys?

Assuming you are being serious, you should check out Aussie rules and Gaelic football on youtube.

I think they said the government that had given them special permission to start later. apparently there’s an exemption for people going to war or travelling that sports people commonly use if they’re competing.

They also said that Ozil wasn’t observing Ramadan, which is surprising given his performance last night.

That’s just normal Ozil these days.

Predictions: I think we’ll have Argentina and Belgium advance. Argentina has too much class for the Swiss, and I don’t think the US has played very well this far, and will now be against one of the most talented sides in the tournament. I expect close wins for both.

ARG 2:1 SUI

BEL 2:0 USA

ive got Switzerland and Belgium kids.

I’ll be rocking my fresh Maclemore hairdo at the bars at 4 pm.

Sad my super eagles bowed out. So close but yet so far.

USA have a chance today. Depends on what Eden Hazard can pull of.

Argentina should win just off talent.

Germany and Colombia look like they’re on track to win it all based on the eye test.

Yeah this is pretty pathetic, at least wait for the ref to make an error before complaining about him.

Belgium is very talented, but also very young and young players tend to lack patience. Not saying US will win, but I expect them to try to frustrate the Belgian players and hope for some stupid mistakes. I won’t be shocked if US takes them to extra time, with talent winning out in the end. 2-1 win for Belgium.

Belgium should win 3-0. Hazard is a monster.

^Yep, I definitely think it will be close on the field, and I think the US will target the fact that Belgium is playing four centerbacks using pace, likely Yedlin will be brought on earlier, and maybe even Green. The problem is that the US hasn’t offered much offensively and are playing against a dominant GK in Courtouis.

Belgium are there for the taking. They just cannot play possession football which will be their default game against the USA.

I’ve got this one:

USA 23 - Belgium 2

Omar Hitzfeld’s teams are horrible to watch.

So bloody defensive.

0-0 into overtime…just need a moment from Messi.

As an aside, I think Colombia is winning the HCB World Cup.

^Agreed.

You just got it.

Angel Di Fucking Maria.

Incredible player.
