In my experience, people prefer teams that play attacking football.

But today they played a bit different than the usual and they had many chances

 

[pxleyes]

There's 1000 camera angles on it that clearly show it was a penalty. There's something called a rulebook, also, btw. Maybe they should call you next time, though, just to confirm.

Again, your opinion. I think it was incidental at best. You're welcome to keep up the high horse act though. I'm sure it will make you more endearing to detractors.

Southern Brazil has been invaded by close to 100,000 Argentinians who have been crossing the border in droves to watch their country’s match against Nigeria.

This has prompted concern among the authorities because only 16,000 have bought tickets in advance for the game in Porto Alegre, the closest host city to Argentina

Damn Argies.

 

[Rockyrock]

Crazy shit always happens when World Cups are played on South American soil.

 

[figadapaura]

Europe, how could you let Greece qualify for the WC?

Damnit Europe.

We tried.

 

[ramparter]

No I will not cut my dick off. ಠ_ಠ

What's the point of having a dick if you don't have the balls to keep your word?

Colombia game was more entertaining because attack.....

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Every team I root for gets eliminated.

So GAF, who should I root for next?

USA

Well, we had one good game too. Didn't help us.

 

[Firemind]

Netherlands. I want my Mexico vs. Costa Rica quarter finals match.

Netherlands - Greece should be even better.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

I really want Mexico - Costa Rica to happen.

That would be so interesting. Whichever team wins would be going to the semifinals for the first time ever.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Wow, the knockout rounds will be South American teams having to destroy each other.

 

[CesspoolofHatred]

Lol I need to learn to shut my mouth until the final whistle blows. Too many times this cup I've spoken too soon.

No I will not cut my dick off. ಠ_ಠ

 

[FuturusX]

What did I tell you guys? Chiquidracula is a piece of shit who shouldn't ever officiate a match in his life again. While at that, Suarez should never play a professional football match as long as he lives. Utter scum.

Come now..what's a nibble between players.

 

[Acorn]

I will love it if we beat them

Love it

Lol what a season that was.

That Liverpool Newcastle game was a corker. The Newcastle humbling began from there.

 

[ColossalLazy]

Hey guys, I dont know if you can watch this at your country but here is another angle at Suarez bite. Its after 0:15 of the video

[dani_dc]

Greece going through was worth it just for the gaf reactions in this thread.

let us win a Europe Cup in Greece and bygones be bygones

I rather blame ourselves for losing that final than Greece, you don't lose to the same team twice in the same tournament by chance.

 

[figadapaura]

Ya! Why should we hate a cheap call that decided a game and a group!

LOL it was a clear penalty. He caught him. Get over it.

 

[Valente]

Watching the game now, how the fuck did Mexican Dracula not look at Chielini's shoulder? He moved away every time he tried to show it to him. I totally agree with you.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Ghana pls

Colombia or Costa Rica. Maybe Belgium if they get their shit together.

Argentina.

Greece

Germany

Dortmund

The USA need your support.

Brazil.

Netherlands. I want my Mexico vs. Costa Rica quarter finals match.

USA

i recommend new tag "full of shit"

 

[Mt Heart Attack]

Greece have got this. Beating Costa Rica and Mexico to get through to the semifinals, it's not even that big a of a stretch.

 

[Sr Kitsune]

so a semi-finalist out of Holland/Greece/Mexico/Costa Rica?

Odds, in order:
1. Netherlands
2. Costa Rica
3. Mexico
4. Greece.

So, Greece, that's how this wc is working so far.

 

[Soul Beat]

Mexico.

Reverse bad luck.

 

[KageZero]

What did the japanese players do at the end of the game?

And also i just noticed that greece is going against costa rica next game. Sorry costa rica fans i didn't want you to go home so soon after such a great group stage performance

Keep shutting out reality, my friend. I can only repeat myself: There's rules and everybody and their cat has seen by now that it was a penalty. Backseat reffing is just too much fun, isn't it?

here we go agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!

 

[CoolOff]

So what is the actual argument for it not being a penalty?

The pass is clearly going towards Samaras, who is lining up a shot, therefore he has the ball (we have an actual word for this in Swedish that I can't translate, bollförande), then from behind the CIV-player sticks his knee in so Samaras clips it in the shooting-motion, causing him to trip on his own foot. Foul. Penalty. Case closed.

 

[oti]

Fun evening my friends. I've got to attend university early tomorrow. Thursday Deutschland, university of Hamburg has a public viewing going on, I think I'll watch it there. Ok then, good night. Great match. ELLAS!

Oh yeah, Italy, Spain, England and Portugal, see you in the Euro Cup in two years. If you get through the qualifiers that is.
(Sorry for that, but you know. We Greeks have a lot to endure over here at times. )

You keep saying that yet there are tons of people out there including myself that disagree. But all calls in soccer are black and white, right? Never any subjectivity.

Don't really mind who wins it now as long as the vampire of Montievdo doesn't get his hands on it.

People seem to think that Sio was just standing there and Samaras stuck his leg between his all by himself, apparently.

 

[$200]

wow just watched the Greece x Ivory Coast highlights. Bullshit penalty.

 

[WonkyPanda]

Happy Bday to the GOAT, too!

 

[Oveja Negra]

Netherlands - Greece should be even better.

Better to induce us to a nap?

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Poor CONMEBOL. Only one of those first 4 making it to the semi-final.

Ha, that's kinda of weird how that worked out. Rooting for Chile.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

If Suarez were to be banned, when would we hear about it?

 

[kamorra]

Watching the game now, how the fuck did Mexican Dracula not look at Chielini's shoulder? He moved away every time he tried to show it to him. I totally agree with you.

Didn't had the the time. Had to get rid of the heroin bag which he forgot in his ass.

 

[Ellasman]

I don't understand how people are saying it was a bad call. He caught his shooting leg in motion and the ball was nowhere near. It was a horrible challenge to make that late in the game.

 

[figadapaura]

You keep saying that yet there are tons of people out there including myself that disagree. But all calls in soccer are black and white, right? Never any subjectivity.

What was subjective about this call?

Didn't had the the time. Had to get rid of the heroin bag which he forgot in his ass.

hahahaha

There's probably more to the story to Suarez bite than what you saw. I mean, every player in the world knows that he gets riled easily, so it's probable that the italian defender pestered him through the whole match, little fouls, telling him things about his mother or sister, etc, to get a reaction like that and hopefully a red card (didn't work though). Remember Zidane's headbutt, italian players are not naive, and know this stuff too well.

That doesn't excuse Suarez and he should be sanctioned, but before calling people scum, I think we have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

In a match against Chile, in a qualification match, a chilean player grabbed Suarez by the balls in a corner kick, and Suarez reacted hitting him on the face, which resulted in Suarez's expulsion. Later images showed what really happened.

And obviously, Suarez is very known in the world, so every player knows that if you get him infuriated enough, you'll get a stupid reaction like that.

I do hate Suarez tho

How can you hate him if you are a Liverpool fan?

I am a Liverpool fan myself, I'm just curious. Sure, he's an asshole off and on the field, but after the football he's played over the last three seasons I just can't hate the guy.
