  1. Fucking Japan going through after beating Germany and Spain. I'd rather have a world cup where we lose every game 5-0.
  2. Portugal look meh enough that I'd absolutely fancy our chances to take all three points from their B-squad with nothing to play for. Just need to figure out a way to convince them to never put a diagonal cross into the box.
  3. Suarez was tearing it up for Barca last time I remember watching football regularly so really shocking to see him so obviously past it this tournament.
  4. If Portugal's going to win, need them to absolutely batter these fuckres.
  5. Crosses into the box leading to goals eh? Love our chances against Portugal then. We never concede any of those.
  6. If Portugal win it might be helpful because they'll take it easy on us for Round 3, but we would need results in Uruguay v. Ghana to go our way. If Uruguay win we go through if we beat Portugal straight up. If they draw probably worst of all worlds. I hate that my brain is making me think about these things. It's not going to happen.
  7. Had to Google to make sure that no, that is not the striker Fred starting in midfield for Brazil at age 40.
  8. They did fine other than the howlers from the defense and Ghana were clinical. Probably win that game more often than not if you replayed it a hundred times. Team seems pretty good and will probably not embarrass themselves against Portugal. It’s fine. What’s the point of making it to the knockouts to get ripped to shreds by Brazil anyway.
  9. I’ve gone basically my entire life without seeing a Korean score in a meaningful game from outside the box, so no.
  10. To be fair, our crosses were much less threatening than their crosses, roughly 50% of which led directly to goals.
  11. At the end of the day, having failed to win it doesn’t matter that much if we lose or draw. Any result that leaves us having to beat Portugal is more or less the end of the tournament.
  12. I think our manager just got himself sent off. Is that a suspension for the third game?
  13. Somehow Ghana have managed to defend for about 20 minutes straight without fucking up. We couldn’t manage 20 seconds. That’s the difference.
  14. Yeah haven’t seen much of Son since he became really good, but I’m assuming he’s usually better than whatever this is.
  15. Didn’t realize you were allowed to just lie down below the wall like that.
  16. Thankfully years of supporting Newcastle have prepared me for left backs defending absolutely nobody in the box
