Harsh on Mexica go.

FUCK OFF robben you diving cunt. Heartbreaking.

HAHAHA they won!!

 

[VMM]

Same as Brazil's game, the winner wasn't the best playing team in this Mexico x Netherlands.

 

[Satangel]

Is this a joke?
Spain was humiliated by Brazil in Confederacy Cup.
Netherlands, Germany, Colombia, Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Belgium and Chile are playing a lot better than what Spain have shown in this World Cup.
Spain Team is already old for football players, theey can't keep the high level to play with the best teams in the world cup,
it's time to rennovate their team.

Spain is, on paper, still the best team out there, most complete and the best 23. They aren't that old either, nothing exceptional. Iniesta is 30 years old, how is that old?

FUCK OFF robben you diving cunt. Heartbreaking.

That penalty wasn't a dive.... Fully deserved win, they should've gotten another penalty too in the first half. A shame, I really wanted Mexico to win, but Holland was just better.... Too bad

There is no such thing as on paper, or they play well, or they don't.
They were already the best team out there, no wonder they got South Africa World Cup,
but with the current elimination in this World Cup, and the catastrophic result against Brazil in Confederacy Cup,
we can already say they are no more the best team, not even close as well.

For a football player, 30 years is already old, also, if you take a look at the age of the Team members, the youngest is 24.
Xavi is 34, David Villa is 32, Xabi Allonso is 32, Fernando Torres is 30.
With everything known, we can actually say it's an already aged team.

Someone's salty, that was a clear penalty.

 

[emigre]

Costa Rica vs Greece.

Did anyone every expect this at the start of the tournament?

 

[lufere7]

Come on, there was contact, I'm not debating that, but contact=/=penalty. Robben should NOT be falling for that, if you've played football you should know that, and wheter you think it was a pen or not, his reaction is frankly disgusting, he's acting like he was shot ffs, you can't see that and tell me it's good for the game. But whatever, I don't feel like debating about it, we're out and that's that, but Robben being a diving cunt is an undeniable fac, he even admitted to diving in the first half. And he did this shit in the second half:

If we're going by the rulebook Robben should've been out for 2 yellows for diving.

David Villa almost won the CL this season, right until the 92th minute. Xabi Alonso won the CL. On top of that they acquired Diego Costa, and only lost Puyol since the last World Cup. Spain won everything past season, EL and CL, and players of the Spanish selection performed really well, both in the league and in Europe.
Only Xavi had a lesser season, still playing 27 matches with Barcelona though.
They just aren't old, not by a long shot. There are other reasons that they failed, a combination of not putting the best 11 on the pitch (Mata/Villa/Torres come to mind), not having the motivation to stand up after the crushing defeat vs Holland, bad luck, ....

Torres best?

Torres is shite.

 

[emigre]

If Torres was a horse, he would have been made into glue a long time ago.

 

[emigre]

I feel ripped off Argentina- Switzerland didn't go to penalties.

 

[Deleted_171835]

Howard fucking saving this team. Don't know why Bradley's still on, he's been just horrible defensively.

And into extra time.

edit: and RIP.

edit 2: 2-1! Green! Holy fuck, this match.

edit 3: entertaining as hell match, us may be out but goddamn did they bring it in the second half of extra time.

 

[emigre]

credit to the yanks for getting back into this

 

[Deleted_171835]

Decided to look up Canada's qualifying run and oh wow



This is beyond pathetic.

...2018 maybe?

 

[Satangel]

WE DID IT YESSSSSS. FULLY deserved thanks De Bruyne, what a hero
Really, De Bruyne, favourite player and THE best one in the qualifiers for our team. Superb attitude too, great. We should've scored 5 times minimum but winning is winning, bring on Messi!!!!
