OT: Soccer thread

[Artnes]

wow holy fuck

 

[TimHorton]

Japan may not touch the ball again

Update: Japan has touched the ball

 

[Artnes]

Love it. They are relentless.

 

[UWHabs]

If Japan wins, looks like both them and Spain would make it through unless if Germany can score like 7 goals, right?

 

[zeke]

Shitty. Spain has a tiebreak vs Germany wrapped up pretty easily.

We need Costa Rica to take a lead now.

 

[zeke]

COSTA RICA!!!!

 

[TimHorton]

Bad day for Ye’s favourite team!

 

[Artnes]

Germans falling apart, Tie game

 

[TimHorton]

These afternoon games went from poop to amazing

 

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

Spain probably throwing the game to get Morocco next round instead of Croatia

 

[zeke]

CR gets one more goal and Spain is out if they throw it.

 

[zeke]

COSTA RICA!!!!!!!

 

[TimHorton]

holy moly!!!

As stands this would easily be the biggest upset group in WC history.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

hope nobody in the media tries to sugarcoat this

if we're going to move up in the sport that means a starting point of looking at this as a disappointment. not anything else. we should be pissed off and realize we got schooled and need a lot more good players to be taken seriously.

need a real backline and a replacement for Borjan. a few decent attackers isn't enough at this kind of level.

This exactly.

A championship is a successful result. Everything else is a pathetic failure and people need to lose their jobs. The only thing that losing teaches you is how to be good at losing. You learn to win by winning and you win when you make any other outcome unacceptable. Not "disappointing", not "unfortunate". UN-FUCKING-ACCEPTABLE.

As everyone expected, Japan and Costa Rica would be advancing from their pool.

 

[zeke]

Oh man Germany scores a huge goal....for Spain.

 

[TimHorton]

What a save!

 

[zeke]

Germany praying for Spain to score now.

 

[zeke]

Germany needs another goal and a goal from Spain
