Newsflash! Soccerball International Championship thread?

Gotta love Colombia though. "Let's just play like shit and win the group anyway."

Can't see them lasting very long in the knockout stages without James though (depending on his injury), by far their best player.

Well, so far they've been garbage and they're winning the group anyway. Who knows what happens if they actually stop sucking

Either England or Belgium in the next round, so that should be a bit interesting.

Ayyyyyy. That's gonna hurt if they play like they've been playing the last 3 matches.

Oh, and Neymar pisses me off to no end. I'd gladly see them out of the tournament just because of his fucking overacting/diving.

They need to humble Mexico, first.

I'll be pleased to see ALL of the South American teams gone. Fifa should start handing out yellow cards like Skittles for the diving.

some Brazilian was making a move, got touched on the shoulder , and immediately dove to the ground clutching his head . RED CARD the fucker.

It's fucking endless with the S. American sides.

AFAIK, Mark Geiger (US referee) is the only one to have shown a card to a player (Korean) for diving. I agree we need to see more of this.

Well, at least this time they can't blame it on the winter weather!

 

[Dexter Inferno]

lol.
And this time England can't lose to them in a penalty shootout.

On a similar note, the Germany memes keep on comin'.

There's also this one:

Eh, Uruguay can stay. They're usually not that into diving. Suarez toned it down a lot. Argentina isn't that bad either. Most of the time it's just one or two dickheads ruining the reputation for their team.

 

[shoeless]

OK...last one.

 

[ColourofFire]

Belgium - England is pretty entertaining considering they're both playing for absolutely nothing and losing might actually be a good thing...

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Belgium does have a bit more quality than the England reserves.

Yeah, Belgium's "B" team still looks pretty scary.

Indeed. And they now have a manager that lets them play decent fotball, even though he's a bit naive tactically.

Why can’t I see any images shoeless posts?

Hard to take much out of that game given the number of subs and the "potential" of someone really not wanting 1st to avoid the supposedly harder bracket. I didn't think I saw anything that would suggest that it happened and certainly on paper Japan is a potentially easier opponent than Columbia but you never know.
