World Cup 2014 Thread

I literally cannot believe what I am seeing, Spain are getting demolished.

They could be 6-1 down - Sneijder should have scored early on, and RVP hit the bar!

 

Robben showing why Sterling should play tomorrow.

Pace!

 

5 now. Sensational.

 

Not as sensational as the USA away kit. Nice..

 

Bloody hell, how 5hit are Spain. Nearly 6.

Like us at Derby.

 

Torres just did his Steve Kabba impression.

 

oh torres....

 

I thought Spain losing 5-1 was hilarious, but then Torres stepped up to make me practically kill myself laughing.

 

We should sign Casillas.

 

Underdogs World Cup. I fancy our chances to go further than the quarters.

 

Well well. Was that the definition of a fingering, ladies and gents? I think so!

 

This World Cup is going to be absolutely insane.

The Netherlands-Spain game tonight was one of the best WC games I've ever seen. Brilliant goals, high-scoring, awful keeping, the holders embarrassed and even a bit of Torres comedy thrown in for good measure at the end.

 

Oh and Richard 'Keysy' Keys' video blogs have become a welcome addition to this World Cup. I don't understand how he can be such a perfect mix of David Brent and Alan Partridge without being in the slightest bit aware of it.

I had the Netherlands winning but I couldn't have predicted that. Astonishing.

I found it amazing how nobody really mentioned them in the run up to this World Cup. They have a perfect mix of experience and youth, a quality manager, and a few of the world's best players.

When they went ahead after Robben's first, the reaction of the commentators would have made you think Spain had gone behind to Australia.

 

Great game.

Incident packed match that deserved a far better "action replay" service from the TV people, than we got.

 

Tika-taka came well and truly unstika-staka.

Not a fan of little lord Persie, but you have to admire that header. Perfect technique.

 

I can't believe how easily Spain capitulated. Holland played really well and RVP's goal was absolutely fantastic.

Let hope that things continue like this

 

The high pressing of Chile may put too much pressure on Spain!

 

Everyone ready for Super Saturday? 4 games today makes it a marathon...

 

How do they manage to measure how much distance every single player runs each match?

 

Alan Shearer is a godawful pundit. No wonder he failed as a manager, he's clueless.

Thierry Henry looks positively embarrassed for him at times.

 

GPS transponders in the shirts (something pioneered by the England 7's Rugby squad).

 

Awesome. So much so that my first reaction was that you were taking the p***! Sorry for doubting you!

 

Prozone doesn't use GPS and I suspect that or a similar system is being used in Brazil.

 

Do they really use that all the time? I thought they just worked out an estimate by using all the information from the 16 or so cameras?

 

The calibre of BBC pundits is not in question

 

I wonder who speaks English better?

 

Called it

 

Vanishing Spain

Do you think the Spaniards have got mixed up and thought it was supposed to be Vanishing Spain, instead of Vanishing Spray :naughty:

 

Listened to the Australia game on R5 today. Robbie Savages genuine excitement at the Cahill goal was quite endearing.

I don't necessarily agree with what he says, but he seems less bothered about saying what he thinks. I like him.

 

No but they may see being knocked out as a spain in the arse.
