2014 FIFA World Cup - Brazil

[MUSC4EVER]

They have to walk right past the trophy!

 

[FoRiZon]

Why the Argentinas hate?

Good for them they provide one of the best matches.

HAHAHAHAHAHA Blatter and the Brazilian president boo'd by the stadium! Excellent!

Hell yeah protest after World Cup baby!

 

[Dennisch]

But he didn't capture the imagination, did he?

James, Robben, several German players, Mascherano, Benzema, all were better.

Half of the Algerian squad deserves it more than Messi.


Now, we wait for the results of the investigation covering the corrupted Qatar bid.

And Tim Howard. Robben just won the diving competition.

 

[C-ZETA]

Absolutely agree. But I'll concede that circumstances in the game can put you in the final like it happened to Argentina here, that's how football is.

But the Messi thing is just impossible to swallow, it's almost laughable. Even in Argentina a recurrent meme was where the heck Messi was. Not even the argetineans can believe this crap.

Argentina had an easy draw, yet Iran almost drew against them. Switzerland were never good, Belgium were highly flawed in spite of their results. They matched the Dutch in a defensive battle then got the luck of the draw in penalties.

James Rodriguez was the great in my eyes.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Remember Germany stayed in a purpose built camp which they had built because they felt the other camps there weren't suitable, that's dedication!

 

[Dennisch]

And Tim Howard. Robben just won the diving competition.

Robben deserves a bit more credit than that.

 

[Mike Rotch]

Robben deserves a bit more credit than that.

He is a brilliant player, tarnished by his actions.

Anyway, congrats to Germany. Hard to argue that the best team in the comp didn't win it.

Also, Messi for Golden Ball .

 

[Furinkazen]

Robben deserves a bit more credit than that.

In all honesty I found the dutch uninspiring. They just seemed to play very low-key and there games were not thrillers. Still 3rd in the World Cup is something, best ever result for them if I remember?

EDIT What Mike said.

 

[cbarbosa]

Dilma Rousseff almost cried when gave the cup to Lham...

They lost the final in 2010

 

[ItGivesYouWings]

Messi was "off" today.

They reached the final 4 years prior...and in '74. When they had better teams. Much better, for '74.
It was mostly the 5-1 that got people on their train. I was on their train beforehand but even I didn't see them making the semis.
Maybe they didn't have it quite so easy the rest of the way but van Gaal pulled off superb coaching to win the rest.

3 times finalist. 74, 78, 2010.

And the low key playing was a strategy by van Gaal due to missing some key players.

Did you guys see how quick Blattie and President got rid of that trophy? Hilarious.

Oh my memory

Van Gall will be interesting in the Premier League next season. He's not afraid to make those big decisions.

 

[ibnumgt1]

Yay! German won! Sorry Argentina.

 

[Robin]

Yeah, other team's merely stay in a hotel and use someone's spare pitch....the German's move in!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Gotze the first sub to score in a World Cup Final!

 

[FoRiZon]

Bloddy hell again why the irrational hatred of Argentina?

You all just compared it to Brazil. Even if Germanys won its still one hell of the match.

Did you all just bet for Argentina? Thats explains something.

 

[C-ZETA]

Well James won one award he might well deserve...goal of the tournament. And Golden Boot.
Actually I said he would win the Ball but I think Muller was probably my favourite for it. But Messi shouldn't have even been able to see it. He shouldn't even have known it existed.

Bloddy hell again why the irrational hatred of Argentina?

Not Argentina. Messi.
There was going to be one undeserved award...

 

[35mm]

Not Argentina. Messi.

Not Messi. FIFA.

You're right, we shouldn't blame Messi. After all, it's not him who gave the award to himself.

 

[Cano]

This. We've all seen Messi play. The guy is stratospherical. Yet in this world cup, in which he had all the elements to make it his world cup, he was annonimous as all the hell. He did not deserve the award given to him.

Take off the conspiracy hat.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That's actually quite scary! ^

WTH? That's quite... weird.

 

[Robin]

Creepy for sure

Nope, tweet every possibility and delete them as the game goes on.
