qwksndmonster Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 wonder what the % is on PK conversions. just seems grossly slanted to scoring. hard for me to take a sport seriously when they tell a player ok your going to be 12 yards away and the goalie has to cover the broad side of the barn It makes the PK shootouts fun when the players are so nervous the % drops from ~90 to ~50. But I agree with you. I'd move the PK spot to 15 or 16 yards away.
Iron Crotch Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Awesome... Over There @socceroverthere 4m Hopefully this will be the last 90 minutes that anyone will have to watch of Greece at this World Cup. :D
Huckleberry Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Awesome... Over There @socceroverthere 4m Hopefully this will be the last 90 minutes that anyone will have to watch of Greece at this World Cup. :D Wouldn't count on it, its like 2004 nightmare all over again :P
Eleven Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Awesome... Over There @socceroverthere 4m Hopefully this will be the last 90 minutes that anyone will have to watch of Greece at this World Cup. :D Shame that they got through at the expense of Ivory Coast, which was more entertaining.
Iron Crotch Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Costa Rica goes through. For a small country that hasn't had much World Cup success, these guys will all be legends in their home country.
Guest Sloth Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Missed today's World Cup action. Wish I saw the penalty called against Mexico. A match that late in the game should not be decided by a "well......" type of call. Again, I haven't seen it yet. If a debatable call happens late in the game, simply don't call it. Far less problems.

Far less problems. It really was a shame. I think most fans would have liked to have seen another 30 minutes of game action rather than the ref essentially deciding the winner on a questionable call. Marquez got a little bit of his foot, but Robben is a notorious diver and clearly threw himself up in the air in the hope of getting a call. Shame.
Eleven Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Hey, CONCACAF was 1/2 today, almost 2/2 except someone decided not to play the last 20, and hopefully 2/3 by Tuesday night.
Guest Sloth Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Hey, CONCACAF was 1/2 today, almost 2/2 except someone decided not to play the last 20, and hopefully 2/3 by Tuesday night. There will be a lot of excitement if the CONCACAF goes 2/3. Klinssman would probably become the most recognizable U.S. coach ever. Many felt a foreign influence was needed to get the U.S. to a higher level. He's slowly pulling it off. Will things finish w/ a World Cup title during his tenure, signed through 2018, as U.S. coach? Reality says no. But the impact he is having on the future of U.S. soccer is incredible. Klinssman is helping the U.S. skip x amount of years of development. He is leading the way. Very happy Klinssman is the guy in charge of U.S. soccer. Edited June 30, 2014 by thanes16
MattPie Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 And did any of you here what Keith Olberman had to say about soccer? What an extreme liberal prick. Was it as Trolltastic has Coulter? Poor Mexico. ...pass the tequila. I was at a Mexican restaurant during the game, lots of fun. Until the end.

LastPommerFan Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 we'll get to see the game this team was actually built to play. still can't make many (any?) mistakes if we want to beat the waffles, but I am very excited now.
Eleven Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Corner kick frog goal. Own frog goal. Game over. Edited June 30, 2014 by Eleven
DR HOLLIDAY Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Germany V France WWIII……….Joking………Lets go boys it Müller time!!!!
I am Defecting Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Columbia, Netherlands, Argentina, and France are looking strongest to me. Columbia vs Argentina looks like the final to me, but I'm rooting for the Netherlands. I'd bet on Columbia, at this point.
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 leaving work early for 'Merica game. I'm guessing this one will be a nail biter! On a side note, the Germany - Algeria game last night was entertaining. I was kind of hoping it would get to PKs though.
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 I'm getting nervous, everyone is saying we'll lose :P Can't even see the game cause I'll be at work to ffs
dEnnis the Menace Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 From an ESPN article: This is not just a clash between the Statue of Liberty and Mannequine Pis, or the home of Chuck Norris and that of Jean-ClaudeVan Damme. It is bigger than that... Found that rather funny Let's Go USA!

wjag Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 0-0 Argentina-Switzerland is a bit of a surprise. 2nd half overage time. Come on Switzerland.
Huckleberry Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Yeah lots of overtime drama :D From an ESPN article: Found that rather funny Let's Go USA!
