John Oliver is the motherfucking man.
I haven't been so disinterested in a world cup since '98. We're going to get flogged in every game.

We're lucky enough to be there after our shaky qualifying campaign. But I'd rather qualify and get flogged 10-nil than not qualify at all.
But I am confident that we will snatch a point from someone. Probably the Netherlands (who look a bit disjointed and even van Gaal casts doubts over what they are capable of).
We have a team that is built from the ground up, designed to play the way Postecoglou wants them to. I can't wait to see what he delivers, but it is utterly disappointing that Rogic and Kruse will be absent. Watching those two combining up forward is something I'm really looking forward to.
This is what it's all about. Everything that happens in world sport in the four years between World Cups is comparatively irrelevant for me. Let's have another World Cup of drama and unpredictability. I'll be flying out to Brazil tomorrow night.

Yeah Ryan will be number one, while Langerak is a very good #2.
Ryan is young, has years ahead of him so hopefully he stays at Bruges for a while, but could unfortunately get picked up by a moneybags team later down the track.

I like what Jurgen is doing with the national team, but he should really keep his mouth shut sometimes.
Unless this is some grand psychological ploy to make teams let their guard down. In which case, carry on.

These goalkeepers suck.
EDIT: Just saw the replays and Pletikosa was legit terrible. On the two open-play goals he dives off the wrong foot.

He should have stopped the penalty to, he had both hands to it and it didn't look the hardest hit shot in the world.
Anyway Brazil were highly unconvincing.
You know thinking about it, Thiago Silva is like the last good centre back in the world at the moment. It's like after the last Italian World Cup winning team, world class centre backs just disappeared. What passes as a centre back these days is just a shambles. Looking at you Luiz.

Hopefully there is one game at this world cup without a pissweak dive. Just one, and I'll be happy.

Brazil is the favorite.
And you're terrible at posting photos of women, and you always have been.

is this going to be the main topic of conversation in EVERY sports thread? 
Anyways, Soccer/Futbol/Football/Whateverthatgamewhereyoukicktheball has always been my favorite sport to PLAY, but I've never been fond of watching it. I do, however, enjoy the World Cup, because it's such a relatively short period of time, so the situation with the tie games doesn't bug me as much.
Obviously I'll be cheering for the States, and, as usual, my back-up team will be Japan. Let's do this.

Figured I'd get my first bit of anti-soccer rhetoric out the way early
I enjoy the world cup as well, though the time zones are horrible for me this year.

I hope that this ref doesn't get another game. Those mistakes cost Croatia the match! 
I was highly underwhelmed by Brazil's performance, for the predicted winner they were pretty poor.

Brasil had to win apparently. Terrible refereeing. It actually ruined my enjoyment by the end. Second goal wasn't a penalty and there was a clear foul preceding the third. On top of that, Croatia's disallowed goal was debatable as well even if they're pretty strict when it comes to touching the keeper close to goal. Julio Cesar just missed the ball though while Olic didn't.

Croatia's disallowed goal was a terrible call, almost as bad as the call that led to the penalty kick.

I'm sorry, but this shows total lack of understanding of football. That is called a foul 999/1000 times at any level.
