[Soccer] World Cup 2014
- Thread starter bhamv3
- Start date
Well, english immigrants brought the sport to Argentina in the first place. Not sure how the german immigrants after WW2 influenced this... *ouch*
GF will go to a public viewing on sunday, I'll stay at home for a quiet TV experience.
I already had my honking car freakout tour for World Cup winners back in 1990.
Part of the problem is that as players become more and more tired, chances of a goal go down.

Maybe in extra time / after extra time, they should allow infinite substitutions? Give a team credit for having a deep bench.
I'm scared, because I agree with Charlie on this one. Unlimited substitution in "Extra Time", "Golden Goal" ("sudden death"), and no stoppage time add-ons to 15-minute periods, unless there is an injury, and then only and always 5 extra minutes.
Personally, I want them to go to the penalty kicks sooner. Neither team could score in regulation, so just decide it quickly rather than play a set of mini rounds where (judging from the last few rounds) is likely to go to PKs anyway.
Stealing Ricky Gervais jokes are we?
Well, a german helped them build up their air force after the war, but not their soocer.
And I bet Galland was more showing off and grandstanding than really doing a proper post war job.
That being said, I'm (well, have to be) carefully optimistic for my country on sunday.
Yeah, but so said the dutch as well. I really feel sorry for the Brazil guys, don't like the dutch.
Same here and I'm right now in a small village with maybe 2000 people.
Hehe, 1.200 peeps here.
But thanks, I had all this back in 1990 already. my gf now just needs to get the last train from the city, she wanted a public viewing once we made it to the final.
My best ESPN fantasy performance was the NFL Pigskin Pickem with point spread, ended #2 in the world, lost by one pick. I was double digits every week except one week in the first half of the season where I got 6, which is probably what lost it for me.
Phew. That game was bad for my heart. Was working at a pub where we had beamers and large tvs set up. We were biting our nails and almost had a heartattack each time Messi had a chance at a goal.
Well deserved win.
Well deserved win.
Heh, that is actually a more interesting term than our "projectors."
urg. the German team was so embarassing today... so cringeworthy.
I have no TV and due to work the gf's wasn'z running, so I cannot comment on that.
My guess: the first adrenaline rush after the game was gone and now they just felt like bad actors?
Just a last impression I just watched, the Siegerflieger making a fly-by with waggling wings over the waiting crowd in Berlin:
