2014 FIFA World Cup - Brazil

Huh. I admit to not watching much international soccer apart from the World Cup, and I know the Costa Rican coach was complaining about his embellishment before the match, but I guess I just didn't see anything out of him that every other player doesn't do just as much of.

It bothers me more when it's talented players. The Costa Rican player called him on it in the second half when the ref gave him a bs yellow. I enjoyed that. He flopped pretty hard a ton more after that, with one beautiful play mixed in between. Just enough to piss you off that he plays like such a bitch at times. He was looking for contact in the box rather than trying to make plays.

I respect Robben for his ability to get into positions to score. I just wish he actually utilized his abilities rather than putting on a flopping shit show, like he has most of the World Cup.

I'm pulling for the Germans to win it all. I like how balanced their squad is without the likes of Marco Reus.

I usually root for the team that flops the least when it gets to this point. That means I want a Germany Argentina final. I wouldn't care who won after that...I'd probably root for messi.

I like watching Arjen play, seems like he is fantastic at pressuring and creating scoring chances. Just a shame he likes to throw himself down all the time. Definitely ticks you off bc he doesn't need to do that crap.

I like Gonzalo Higuain and Ezequiel Garay for Argentina. Would like to see them make it to the final.

Based on the info I have, Friday's France/Germany match was the most-watched program in the history of ESPN2:

Welp, there goes future soccer fans.

Robben is an infamous diver. The Dutch, in general, have a reputation for dirty play. I hope Argentina destroys them.

It wouldn't be FIFA if there wasn't arrests of either FIFA partners or FIFA members during or around a tournament.

This guy (Whelan) will get off.

Ian Darke got in that tidbit about today's ref having sent off five players in the six World Cup matches he's reffed just in time for me to slide a small vbet on that line.

So open even an American could have put it in the back of the net.

The record for Klose. Brazil is a mess at the back.
