<p>How about James Rodriguez though, c’mon MUFC sign the kid already.</p>
<p>^James Rodriguez is a beast. Definitely goal of the World Cup so far, much more impressive than van persie’s header imho.</p>
<p>I absolutely hate when people say a penalty sucked. They’re literally 99% luck and 1% skill, and as long as they go in the goal, they’re fine, especially in a penalty shoutout </p>
<p>Cahill’s volley is still my favorite.</p>
<p>@Repede your right. I hadn’t looked at it properly, and it definitely takes the most skill. It’s much harder to hit the ball like that off a cross field pass.</p>
<p>Anybody have predictions of the first quarterfinal match, Brazil vs Colombia? I’m taking Colombia, 3-1. They’re going to win the World Cup, easily the best team in this tournament </p>
<p>I still say Brazil. That home field advantage is real.</p>
<p>Also, France and the Netherlands disagree. They’ve been pretty dominant.</p>
<p>If Dutch vs. Mexicans is nearly as good of a match as Chileans vs. Brazilians…</p>
<p>This WC is great. I’m enjoying it.</p>
<p>Being a Colombian feels so good right now, James is one hell of a player, he already has 5 goals, tied with the Golden Boot winners of 2006 and 2010 already. Messi will probably tie up with him vs the Swiss though.</p>
<p>Winner of the Golden Boot will have at least 8. Mueller might set the all time scoring record against Algeria haha.</p>
<p>ugh. chile was denied because of luck. if it was another day, brazill would be knocked out. last minute and denied by crossbar.</p>
<p>anyway, if a team beats Germany, they are gonna win the cup. it’s been the case over last 3 world cups.</p>
<p>Germany is most likely to win but if you consider talents, belgium is a close rival. if they somehow get team works, it’s more than likely that they are in the final.</p>
<p>Brazil vs Chile </p>
<p>Man of the Match: The Crossbar and Goal Posts for 2 Top Class Saves</p>
<p>The team that eliminates Brazil has lost in the finals for the previous two World Cups.</p>
<p>to the team that has defeated germany. cant happen this year because who ever beats brazil will most likely play germany in the semi finals</p>
<p>Umm… Belgium doesn’t rival Germany talent-wise. Potential-wise, perhaps, but the actual talent that the Belgian squad has isn’t comparable to Germany’s. </p>
<p>Attackers: Hazard, Lukaku (who’s been terrible by the way), Origi (what club does he even play for?), Januzaj (love the guy but he’s not being played often and in important games, terrible decision), Dries Mertens, Mirallas… vs. Götze, Özil, Müller, Klose, Podolski, Draxler, Schurrle…</p>
<p>Defenders: Kompany/Vermaelen vs. Hummels/Boateng or Mertesacker isn’t that close of a contest either.</p>
<p>And then you have the midfielders, Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Khedira…</p>
<p>No contest. Maybe in a couple years or so.</p>
<p>Stop that Ochoa!</p>
<p>x2! =D> </p>
<p>@teenbodybuilder is crying of joy right now.</p>
<p>Mad props to Ochoa though. I really wanted Holland to lose lol, Costa Rica will get the job done </p>
<p>Wow, Netherlands barely made it through.</p>
<p>Mexico: Another team that was cheated. </p>
<p>Teams That should have gone on:
Chile
Mexico</p>
<p>Screw these refs</p>
<p>Good Lord. WOW… Netherlands are clutch.</p>
<p>C’mon Robin van Persie… He’s kind of choking. Again.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me @Hawkace? Both Chile and Mexico deserved to lose.</p>
