The World Cup Thread

I thoroughly enjoyed the Japan v Netherlands game yesterday. Sure, it ended in a 2-2 draw but was a very fun game. I was pulling for Japan, and they managed to tie it in the 89th minute.
I'm kinda pissed with the way NL played. They've been having a bit of a shit streak now, and this game was no different. And some inexplicable subs. They really threw it. If they continue to play this lacklustre there's a good chance they won't even make it out of the group stage.

That buzzer- beater goal was cool. Ivory Coast had a 89th-minute goal as well, to beat Ecuador.
 
Man, Cape Verde just played Spain to a scoreless draw. Not the most exciting match to watch, but an amazing result for such a big mismatch.
 
There have been a few unexpected draws already. Spain, Brazil and Netherlands being most notable.
Brazil is not so unexpected. The Brazilian team isn't amazing, they've had a pretty rough qualification tournament, and Morocco has a really strong squad that could go far if things fall their way a bit.


Cabo Verde was amazing, they really put their heart and soul into the game.

The substitutions for NL were pretty questionable. I thought Japan played well given they were missing a few of their better attackers and Endo.

The kids in work are buzzing about the Scotland result, they think we're going to batter Morocco, I've tried to explain to them how our footballing arc goes when we start off well but they just don't get it :embarrassed:
 
Those crazy Scots...
