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 goon enough wingers to play a 4-3-3.

Oh gosh I completely forgot about that game. I guess that is two knockout losses in 90 minutes then.

Yeah i would like a 3-5-2, But Verratti has to play. I would drop Balo for Immobile. Balo has been far too static these last two games.

I would like to admit out that I am a 100%, totally shameless event mug, who is only here for the Cup and will likely never grace another football thread again for at least two years after this tournament is over.

 

[Acorn]

I honestly don't get all the salt talk. There was one meltdown from one guy who probably isn't even Italian.

People desperately trying to be funny/having continental sized chips on their shoulders

Doesn't matter, we're on a bender.

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

The end of an era, he's from the generation of Seedorf, Crespo and Ronaldo.

I wouldn't mind.

No disrespect but many other top teams thought the same.

I know, that's why I'm using the one paper expression.

 

[Tugatrix]

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

The Spanish are just butthurt, for centuries tried to invade us and always ended humiliated. We have more reasons to hate them than them to us

 

[figadapaura]

Has Vieira always had such a round head? I've only just really noticed.

 

[dacuk]

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.

Ignorance and salt are a bad combination for your health.
I'd say more, but I can hardly type anything else in the middle of this party on Tiquicia.

 

[xbhaskarx]

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

Whereas all your comments are only concerning your own country's national team, right?

My not laughing at overrated European teams is done in the American soccer thread.

The victim complex of american football fans never disappoints. see /r/soccer for more details.

This is hilarious, as if all the comments saying that CONCACAF teams are shit don't exist...

 

[gutter_trash]

European posters being introduced to the Salt memes from North-America GAF is glorious

It's the same for Scotland and England tbf.

I hope this amount of salt posts won't keep up when more meltdowns starts happening for frequently (which they will bae's), cause it's fucking embarrassingly unfunny.

My country didn't even qualify.

Straight away. Chiles is crying his first word is england.

I thought you were joking but he actually is fighting back the tears.

ITV only hire people with potatoes for heads.

I'm really favouring Switzerland for this match though, I think it will be an exciting match, both teams have a lot of talent but I think France choke up pretty often.

 

[moai]

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

sorry, but no, we (south american countries) are very different from central american countries or even mexico. maybe you have more similarities with more caribbean south american countries (colombia, venezuela).
this has nothing to do with football, but still.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Holy shit lolol

 

[Tugatrix]

Hey son

Don't be dissin' Bruno

sorry, he is better player than Diego Costa, but he pulled a Diego Costa

 

[Jack cw]

I know, that's why I'm using the one paper expression.

Fair enough. I just wont predict anything on this world cup anymore. Nobody is save.

 

[figadapaura]

lol that's pretty accurate.

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Yeah i would like a 3-5-2, But Verratti has to play. I would drop Balo for Immobile. Balo has been far too static these last two games.

Verratti could play in a three-man midfield with De Rossi filling Bonucci's shoes as a libero. He did pretty good whenever he played there. He doesn't have the lungs to play as a box-to-box midfielder anymore anyway.

Cerci-Immobile could work. When you're playing a World Cup with freaking Torino's forwards as starters you know something went terribly wrong though:/

Balotelli was awful. Barzagli, Darmian, Pirlo and Marchisio were the only ones to put in a decent performance really. Pls no more Abate.

We've always known American's go for lowest common denominator jokes

I know.

I'm for the country of Federer, Hingis and Schnyder.

Nah, our enemies are to the West. And South, with Italy

and lol Austria

France fields Giroud and Benzema moves to the left. Pogba goes to the bench.

France wat you doing. Stap. Pls.

This xbox advert is so shit.

"Yoooooooo"

 

[Subliminal]

Ok France

dont fall into this main-land Euro collapse we been seeing. Act like you're Germany.

This is a Europe on Europe bikini mud wrestle exhibition match. Both teams are pretty much guaranteed qualification.

Is is really that much salt? Salt about what anyways? It was just a few salty posts that caused the reactions.

 

[kamorra]

Actually it was one. It's weird.

 

[Wilbur]

Okay:

- you're all fucking weird for supporting continents. Costa Rica played brilliantly today, but it's fucking odd that you're all saying CONCACAF YEAHHH when a) USA won a game against a team they were pretty even with and have two left and Mexico aren't guaranteed to go through, and Honduras got thrashed, and b) that it's a completely different way of looking at it to the Europeans, who hate all their neighbours. That's weird. Please hate your neighbours.

- you're all fucking boring for posting pictures of salt. At least post ones of snails dying in it or some salty chips.

- you're all fucking gr8 cunts m8 to enjoy footy with but pls for the love of Martin Scorsese's coke infused asshole stop talking about fucking continents like anyone gives a shit about any other team but their own

this is an ignorant statement that doesn't take into account historical, political, ethnic, cultural differences including pre-colombian cultures.

 

[DerZuhälter]

Everybody posted their reply .gif yet? Cool.
Took a shower and cooled down a bit.

England vs Italy was still, by far the best game (that wasn't a complete thrashing of one side) in this competition.

All other close matches (except maybe Australia vs Holland) were a sore to watch.

All African teams so far:
Good control of the ball and solid build up play, as soon as they get close to the last third of the pitch they lose all their cool, play unprecise passes, start whipping aimless crosses or shoot out of the distance.
Exempt of this: Disgraceful Cameroon game vs Croatia and Algeria which scored with a penalty and had no clear cut chances or good build up play.

Argentinia and Brazil.
Both disappointed so far. Argentina would get rect in a matchup with a proper offense if they think 7 men defending is enough. Messi, Aguero and Higuain did nothing defensively and not much more offensively.
Brazil as said before: Aimless crosses by Oscar and very dependant of Neymar's genius. Creatively bankrupt.

Colombia. Easy group, showed a great and calm performance against Greece, even match against CIV.
Honduras. Weak overall(shin-stomper, some horrendous tacklings, sorry pulga).
Ecuador. Match against the Swiss team bored me out of my mind. Unbelievable they lost it. Showed no composure.
Chile. Great composure on the ball, highly technical but can switch a flip and go into physical mode. Best southamerican team I've seen so far. Will probably beat the Dutch.
Mexico: 5-3-1-1 vs Brazil. If that's not bus parking I don't know what is.

Asian teams except for "Australia": Snore and borefest.

Abate is useless as fuck. De Sciglio and Darmian for the next game.

Not near a TV, is France wearing those sweet blue uni's again? Best in the WC by far.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I know.

I could post about Denmark if you really want me to learn about what recent taxi Bendtner attempted sexual intercourse with, but I'm here to watch football, not obsess over some continent which was my point. You want this thread just to be a shit slinging contest and then have all your serious discussion at your MLS thread?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

To be honest id support anyone playing Scotland at a world cup or european championship as well.

Don't think i'll ever get to do that again though.



But then again the tennis starts on monday. Andy is british until he loses ofc.

 

[bjaelke]

This continental crap is killing the mood.

If only there was some kind of way to decide which confederation is the best. A sort of confederations cup if you will. That would be super neat.
