FIFA World Cup 2014 Schedule and Team Previews

As I said, not an expert. They just didn't seem aggressive on their passes. It was like they were playing prevent.
My thinking is more that if you're in their half, it's harder for them to score. They seem satisfied to just clear it.

But not going to complain. When they tied it, I started to sense doom, and was happy to be proved wrong.

WOW! Belgium, trailing most of the match, yet dominating play scores twice late, 70th and 82nd minute to take the lead. Let's see if Algeria has got anything left for the equalizer.

What in the world has gotten into Mexico?

Belgium sucked hairy donkey balls... Let's hope they'll grow as the tournament progresses.
Mexico was great.

Which is shocking (Mexico-wise) because in qualification they were abysmal. Almost didn't make it - had to do a one game playoff.

When you're a couple of goals up I can defend that type of playing or if there's only a few minutes left to go. But to do it with only a one goal lead and 88 minutes to play is stupid.

This is actually how Italy won in 2006 :shrug:

Spain is not having a good tourney... 1-0 Chile

Which is one reason why some teams do it. I just don't and never will like it.

[Imran Siddiqui]

2-0 Chile.

WOW

[Imran Siddiqui]

Spain goes down... amazing!

Australia-Netherlands was tight, really like Nr.11 (Oar)
Good game

4:0 was nice if you were not a Cameroon supporter, so the knock out stages start for us.

Preliminary round - Mexico - that will be a tough one, esp as we need to win to progress.
