Why are Italy likely out... Uruguay has looked anything but impressive and also didn't really impress against Ingurland, who were just even worse. and Portugal has played one match, although getting some bad injuries and suspensions, they can also still easily make it.

And if any team can scum a draw out it's fucking Italy.

Likely out?

It is basically a knock out game for us now and seeing we have only lost one knockout game in 90 minutes in some 26 years, I feel very confident.

It wouldn't be Italy if they didn't back in through a boring goal-less draw, then maybe win a game or two on penalty kicks, and viola, Italy's in the finals and everyone's scratching their heads. I say this with all due respect, Italy is hard finish off.

I meant: Why do you think we give a shit about Italy or what uefa-countries fans do? Latin American countries are very close to each other in terms of culture, solidarity, history, etc than Europe will ever be, not the same.

Also, Costa Rica are playing some great looking football. any football fan should cheer for them

Because of people like xbhaskarx who's every post seems to be about Europe in here lol

Agreed on the last part, anyone saying Costa Rica didn't play well are blind or just idiots. They played not only tactically well, but also with all the insensitivity and fight you need. It was yet again great.

We are not likely out. Uruguay has to win. We just need to draw. Still it won't be easy.

i've gotta favour uruguay after that match. so many balls played through and i could only think "if suarez was on the end of that, he'd be kissing his wrist and wearing that goofy smile right now".

Wow, very proud and pleased about Costa Rica getting out of the groupt, as most considered them the wash team in the group.

This certainly makes Uruguay vs. Italy a very interesting matchup (if it wasn't already)

Time for the Swiss to whoop some bleu butt!

Enjoy watching the underdogs win while it lasts, I'll definitely skip their shitty round of 16 matches. Costa Rica vs Cote d'Ivoir/Greece will definitely be a bummer to watch.
Yeah they fight with heart and run till they fall over dead, but you see nothing great in terms of strategy/tactics with those teams.

Long balls up front and through passes to the sides followed by crosses. Even Brazil played creatively bankrupt, with Oscar whipping in cross after cross. The fuck am I watching here? Is this Brazil?! South American football used to be flamboyant, it had style, it had great dribblings and precises passes and runs. I've seen nothing of that so far.

So I say fuck this world cup so far. You fucking event mugs, who come out like rats during the WC, talking about salt and piss off again when it's over and the league starts and just have some interest for the sport when the Classico is on again can suck a big fat dick. Fucking cunts.

Absolutely, I think what I was trying to say is that on paper it's not likely that we are out.

Slovakia 2010 man, same situation as now.

I honestly have no idea what Prandelli could do going forward. If I were him, I'd probably try a 3-5-2 formation with Balotelli and Cerci up front, the 4-5-1 we saw today miraculously worked against England but it was terrible in any other game we played it, and we don't have good enough wingers to play a 4-3-3.

The whole Latin America region (except for Brazil maybe) have basically the same cultural 'base'. Specially all the central american countries.

So? You'll find Spaniards hating Portuguese, Scottish hating English, Germans and Polish having rivalries. It's derbies, not fucking cheering on your neighbours, that's weird shit m8

Costa Rica are playing a dynamic 3-5-1-1 formation with a small young joel campbell as the lone man up front and you're telling me that they are doing nothing in terms of tactics/strategy?

Meanwhile spain and england have played a rigid & boring 4-2-3-1 formation and both are out.

Either you're trolling or you really dont have a clue about football.

I hope so man. I don't wanna see the last of Pirlo's interland become a group stage knock out. The legend(also the most handsome football player ever) still got it
