World Cup Day 15 [KDP-CIV, POR-BRA, CHI-ESP, SWI-HON]

[KG.]

Will Spain be the next giant to fall?

..I don't think so.

[Locke.]

Spain will have a hard time beating Chile but I still think they'll just scrape it. 2-1.

Remember though, Chile only need a draw here and they're through, so alls they have to do is go with a defensive formation and stop Spain from scoring.

[setanta]

I honestly feel really sorry for Chile because I think they're an excellent team. If Spain had of beaten the Swiss they wouldn't be in this situation and I would hate to think that a negative team like Switzerland would go through ahead of the South Americans. Still though, they have only themselves to blame for not taking their chances against Honduras. This will probably go down to goal difference.

[GiRTh]

I'm expecting great things from Brazil V Portugal This is a potential final.

[King Gizzard]

I can only see a Brazil in the end.


Then again..I've just jinxed it

I mean Portugal play Pedro Mendes over Moutinho and Veloso..

[KG.]

LOL at the Brazilian sign "There's only one Ronaldo, all the others are Cristiano's"

[setanta]

Lol. Can't argue with that really.

[Shaun]

This is going to be good.

[hopefully]

[KG.]

Hopefully, I've been looking forward to watching it for quite a while :laugh:

[GiRTh]

Oh no, not Mick Mc-*****ing-Carthy. There's going to be some wonderful football here and he'll be commenting on how well the teams are closing each other down.

[GiRTh]

These two teams are ranked 1st and 3rd. How did they draw each other in the groups?

[Wildcat!]

i know right/ doest mak sense

[KG.]

These two teams are ranked 1st and 3rd. How did they draw each other in the groups?

Were Portugal ranked third before the draw? They might've been just outisde the top 8?

They had a good string of results, but that might've been after the draw to take them to third.

[GiRTh]

[Locke.]

Because Portugal had an awful qualifying campaign and had to play a play-off to qualify I think.

[GiRTh]

Portugal qualified 2nd to Denmark.

Can you hear McCarthy constantly going on about pressing? LMAO

[Wildcat!]

CI up 2-0 already! 6 more to go! :D

[Shaun]

dirty Portuguese cheaters.

[Shaun]

*waits for the **** gifs in relation to that yellow card on Duda*

[Locke.]

Portugal qualified 2nd to Denmark.

Can you hear McCarthy constantly going on about pressing? LMAO

Just checked. Portugal must not have been ranked 3rd at the time. The host team and the top 7 ranked teams go in pot 1. The Asian, North/Central American and Caribbean & Oceaniac teams go in pot 2. Pot 3 is for African an South american teams. And pot 4 is for European teams.

So because Portugal weren't ranked in the top 7 they got threw in the European pot

[GiRTh]

Penalty. This ref is a joke.

Tiago booked. He wont be getting 19 point today.

[King Gizzard]

Nah dudas yellow card was deserved

[King Gizzard]

Jeeez all game Ive been wondering who the f is the tall Portugese CB but it's just Pepe with hair for once :joker:

[GiRTh]

Someone's going to get sent off in this game.

[Shaun]

well that was underwhelming

[GiRTh]

Aye, but a 0-0 suits me fine.

[GiRTh]

I'm glad the lads are saying Juan should have been sent off.

[Shaun]

Well at least I have no Portuguese/Brazilian players in the fantasy league (what was I thinking?)

[GiRTh]

I've got Tiago and Carvalho. I dont want to jinx it but a 0 - 0 suits me fine.

[KG.]

What a load of toot.

However, Maicon still got me 10 points and Eboue got me 12 :amazed:

[Nemo123]

Spain in big trouble tonight.

[Locke.]

Two ways to look at this as a fan of a team that are still in the competition:

1. Want Spain to come second in this group so that they get put against Brazil and one of the two favourites are eliminated.

2. Want Spain to win the group so that the two favourites have the chance to progress further and make for a better World Cup overall.

[Locke.]

Waldo Ponce the dirty little tit

[Locke.]

Excellent accuracy by Villa. What was the keeper thinking...

[bbfan1991]

BRA & POR game was a disappointment:(.

What a goal by Villa!, come on Spain:cool:.

[Kerry]

What a crap Portugal/Brazil game

[Nemo123]

Piqué is awesome

[Nemo123]

Estrada off? Wtf?

[Locke.]

Spain are going to absolutely smash these everywhere now

[King Gizzard]

I swear it was just that pansy Torres falling over as usual with no touch from Estrada

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that is pathetic

[Kerry]

Bloody hell. Missed the second goal reading what the kettle madness was on here

[Kerry]

I bet theres been more cards than goals so far in this tournament

[King Gizzard]

The **** was that!! Torres should of owned up that there was no contact. ****.

[Kerry]

The **** was that!! Torres should of owned up that there was no contact. ****.

Can't stand that sh!t

[Locke.]

Ponce should have been sent off earlier but wasn't. Karma.

[King Gizzard]

Yeah but that decision was debatable, there was NO contact in this challenge

[Locke.]

Chile are going to end up with about 8 players..

[Locke.]

Ponce again.

[Shaun]

I should have had Villa in my team...bloody Messi and his more famous reputation amounting to very little.

[setanta]

A few moments of madness have cost Chile big time here. Hopefully the Swiss wont score against Honduras.

[setanta]

Well, they needed that goal big time. Such a good team. Would be a real shame to see them go out.

[James]

I should have had Villa in my team...bloody Messi and his more famous reputation amounting to very little.

I replaced Messi as captain with Yaya Toure which gets me 26 points. :D Messi is having an alright World Cup, just not found the net yet.

[Locke.]

The only team that have qualified for the last 16 that have impressed me so far are Argentina.

[James]

Honduras had an unbelievable number of breaks at the end there. Still couldn't score.

[setanta]

Delighted to see Chile getting through to the next round. Fully deserving of their place and I'll bet you anything that they'll push Brazil all the way.

[30stone]

David Villa shining like i knew he would, so many people doubted him, claiming torres is far far better..

people underestimate him because he was playing for valencia and not barca or madrid and no one really follows spanish football.
