**Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Thread**

:lol::lol: Hey in all seriousness though, had Mexico played anyone but the Dutch, I would've cheered for them as CONCACAF brethren.

They should be proud of their performance though. They made it tough indeed.

Utmost respect.

Oh definitely

Did anyone, even true Mexicans, think they would get out the group with the way they were playing during qualifiers and after? They proved they had it together and almost made it to the quarters......just can't sit back after quick lead like that
 
People can't admit they're wrong on the internet.:smh:

Im done with it, I guess people need to be jet fuckin black and from Africa to be black

"You're not black enough" got that shit my whole life. Guess what fuck anyone who thinks that. My moms people come from slaves in Cuba. But we ain't black enough

Exactly. Nobody could've predicted that.

Just like many have already said though, there's NO reason to play defense when you have zero idea of how to do so. It was a mistake from Herrera.

Goals win matches. If not that, at least have Chicharito make love to the corner flag on the opposite side of the pitch.

Seen too many teams NOT do that this tournament. You have the lead, in stoppage time.....why are you not holding the ball next to flag in the opponents half to kill time and have them go the length of the pitch?

Some of the tactics I've seen in this world cup :smh:
 
when they made that 2nd substitution i shook my head and said it's a wrap.

you're not going to win doing that and they didn't

coach acting all upset after the game

fuck out of here. YOU cost them the game.

your defense is SHITTY

it's been shitty the entire tournament

You're supposed to ride the hot keeper and score as much as you can to take the pressure off your defense..

if it comes down to you having to defend in order to win.. well you see what happens?

now i gotta deal with my neighbors getting drunk and playing loud music all night.. the sad kind not even the festive kind.

:lol::lol::lol:

And it's crazy cause we've seen Mexico do that soooooo many times here in CONCACAF. All of a sudden they forgot?

:smh::smh:

It's crazy man.

This is the first time in WC history that a team losing with 88 minutes burned actually won without extra time.

how many goals have we seen with less than two minutes left in the period or extra time? It has to be some type of record.. it's crazy.. like team are just collectively going in brain-freeze mode with two minutes left... just like the U.S. with that dumb shit bradley did with 30 second left :smh:
 
"Brazilian" is a nationality. His dad is obviously black. He's a black Brazilian, Afro-Brazilian, whatever you want to call it.

Oh I know dudes dad is black. I was laughing because dude made it seem like santos was a black kid with both parents born and raised in Mexico due to the Olmecs.
 
You didn't know until ew said so :lol:

Again you're an idiot :lol:

I'm done with your stupid ass

I definitely knew he was black by way of brasil. Him and his brother who plays in Barcelona Johnathan Santos.

You're the one who thought he was black because of Olmec lineage. Now that is funny.

I won't insult you for your error tho. Everyone makes mistakes. Carry on and enjoy the games.
 
watching the brasil/chile match now (well the first half before i go fire up the grill).....someone please tell me there is a gif after the alexis goal where the chile fan is giving the middle finger to the brasilian fans :lol:
 
That was a flop :smh:

Nobodies saying it wasn't a sell, but what about this?

45 mins: But danger for Mexico here! Marquez has given it away and RVP comes with a powerful, dangerous burst. RVP has Robben on the left, but he plays it too late. And now we have a rare sighting of the double shoulda-been-a-penalty! Marquez and Moreno sandwich Robben in the box and they have both fouled him. Marquez with a little kick in the calf and Moreno with a wild sliding lunge. Either or both of those should have been given. How funny. Not so funny for Mexico, Moreno has hurt himself in the process and has to be subbed off.

Call this match fairly, and we're not talking about a flop any longer.

yes it is the coach fault he knows mexico defense is shit. I know mexico defense is shit.

the way mexico has been winning is because ochoa has been unbelievable and has stopped about at least 12 or 13 for sure goals that would have put mexico OUT of the tournament. so the defensive argument is done they have none.

they win because they keep pressure up and attack and score.
they got up 1 goal and then shut it down. didn't try to go forward didn't try to keep possession and took out offensive players in favor of a futile defense attempt...

that is on the coach.

the coach lost them this game, if they kept attacking they probably would have had 2 goals and we'd be in extra time..

or it would be over.. but they kept letting the dutch do whatever AND they didn't mark anybody with all those defenders on the field...

the coach is a fucking dumb ass. and if not for ochoa they could have gone home with 0 points just as easily as they made it to the knockout stage

The keeper cannot get credit for all the defense.

Their defense is not as bad as ppl trying to make it.

Netherlands should thank GOD for that water break because the Mexicans and the heat were wearing them down.

With the exception of the penalty their spacing was good, the corners and the bad call (penalty) is what help them lose the game.
 
You guys need to understand Robben, even on a legitimate penalty he would overreact like that...Robben has issues of trying to oversell penalties which causes him to miss out on many many calls.
 
That was a flop :smh:

Yeah but he should have had a penalty in the first half tho when they kicked him 2 times
 
Nobodies saying it wasn't a sell


That wasn't a sell though. To me, a sell is when there is contact and you exaggerate the contact to get some type of call. But at least there was disruptive contact.

Unless this was manipulated, he clearly wasn't even touched.

Thank you. I get that everyone is hopped on this one play, but to completely disregard the 90 mins that played out right before?

Robben is a salesman yes, but we can't sit here and say that he shouldn't do it after he was dicked during the match.

Marquez CLEARLY stomps on his foot. The rest is history.

As a vet, you shouldn't be going to ground on the man in the box, yet Marquez walks free??

:confused::confused:

That was a sell. Marquez steps on his foot. Watch closely..
