Fuck racists ass Suarez, the Ghanaian traditional priest should've been working on him.

You know, at first I pulled that race card as well, and i'm still gonna stick with him using certain words to get under Patrice Evra's skin, but he does seem to be getting along with Sturridge and Sterling just fine these days.

Change of heart perhaps. Who knows.

They do say "where there's smoke there's fire.."

That was the most outrageous thing I saw in the last WC. Well next Zidanes's head butt back in 06

Interesting thread. Will come back with my thoughts later on.

Michael Wilbon calls out "gutless" Klinnsmann



Jurgen Klinnsmann using Kobe Bryant as an example on the Donovan omission:

“This always happens in America. Kobe Bryant, for example — why does he get a two-year contract extension for $50 million? Because of what he is going to do in the next two years for the Lakers? Of course not. Of course not. He gets it because of what he has done before. It makes no sense. Why do you pay for what has already happened?”

I want Argentina to win. They have the talent but do they have the defense?

Di Maria gon put in some serious work

i hope usa gets the shit kicked out of them

Why???

 

[fabregas]

Argentina will win the group but will be knocked out in the quarters by the likes of Germany,Brazil,span,Italy and Holland. Mess does not have his barca boys.

Hopefully this will be a strong world cup with Brazil, Portugal, Spain and Germany making up the semis. That would be a dream.

My prediction: Portugal will not make it out of the group stage.

Two of the remaining 3.. Most likely Germany & Ghana.

Ribery is out of the World Cup.

Time for Griezmann to step up in his place:

 

[PinoleroNicoya85]

Players getting injured left and right.

Marco Reus got injured today against Armenia.

 

[DJCandle]

Russian Captain is also down and out.

These guys need to take it easy or this is gonna be a shitty Cup.

 

[DJCandle]

Absolute shame.

 

[Game Plan]

It is ridiculous the number of players getting injured before this World Cup. Don't think I've seen anything like it before

 

[Game Plan]

I don't think Moses and Odewingi are enough up front from Nigeria. The fact they didn't include Obafemi Martins to the roster I think will hurt them when it comes to making something happen in that final 3rd.


Nice to see Altidore FINALLY get one in the bag.......got 2 in fact

Yeah. It's crazy. A lot of players in the our group too (from portugal and germany)

 

[MCP]

Klinsmann has a point. Why would you give a player a two year extended contract for $50 million?? The only way I could see this is only for the marketing potential, if that.

Michael Wilbon could've come up with a better argument than just to say that because he's from Germany he doesn't have an opinion.

Yea Wilbon could have but he wasn't trying to hear that shit Klins was talking about. But it's not like football players haven't gotten contracts that we are like to as well

Thanks.

And I'll take a look and see what I can scrounge up. Although I'm sure if you walked into specific ethnic neighborhoods in NYC, you're bound to find the right bars. Hopefully they'd be advertising the cup like crazy starting this week.
