World Football Thread XX: Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

[Barnabas]

If we beat Mexico, we will find it hard to beat the Turko-Polish commonwealth, these mercenaries are awesome :P

[Kitschum]

Video reviews are desperately needed in this sport.

Yes, if only to give an extra layer of irony, as England lose 4-2 with a dodgy decision about whether the ball bounced behind the line...

Now that's all over, we can get behind a proper team like the Black Stars.
There's a car in the next street with one window flag for England and one for Ghana. I didn't want to be arrested, so I didn't knock on the door and shake them by the hand, but I was really tempted to.

[Krill]

Just imagine the promises for 2018..."Bring the WC to England, and we'll have all the best video technology, and **** Blatter if he tries to step foot on our shores"

[Serb]

Germany!
England totaly pwned

[Dauphin]

England have been terrible. There could have been a lot more goals.

[Serb]

Terrible?
TOTALY PWNED.
WTF had happened with you guys? Again.

[duke o' york]

I think that football needs to embrace technology now.

Preferably a Commodore Amiga, on which the goals or otherwise can be recreated in Sensible Soccer to the wonder of all.

Dumb FIFA conservatism. The 26th minute in the Argentina-Mexico game was a disgrace of FIFA and refs.
THIS IS JUST DUMB. ****ing idiots (FIFA and refs I mean).

Everybody look at this gif

Mexico
Argentina
refs
Now, after this game, I proclaim that FIFA is a bunch of ****ing idiots. That was a limit brake. This whole tournament is just one huge f*king disgrace (thanks to the refs). These guys are ruining the sport.
Crap.

Video replays made hockey a more fair and thus better sport. Why the f*ck FIFA refuses to use technology which is there for decades is really beyond my understanding.
F*CKING IDIOTS.

I'm sure we went through the who thing about the nomenclature of 'teams' v 'squads' four years ago.

Never mind.

A psychic octopus has predicted that Germany will beat England. They know their stuff, these octopi.

I think that I should have trusted that octopus more than having faith in Capello to do the Italian thing and squeeze through this round
