World Cup Brazil 2014

[Nemesis Inferno]

Should've been a red card tbh...

Seriously though, a yellow card is the correct decision... Why I cannot remember, but running into the crowd always get one, like when taking off your shirt to celebrate...

I know in American soccer they don't make stupid money like every other sport does, but hell, he probably deserves a fine as well. It's not safe for players to go into crowds anymore.

Not as bad as pulling a sharpie out and signing a ball, but pretty damn close.

My prediction for this:
1st- Messi (Argentina, but mainly just Messi )
2nd- Germany
3rd- Netherlands
4th- Brazil

And it's not FIFA, but I was watching American Major League Soccer today and one of the Sporting Kansas City guys scored a goal and immediately ran up to the stands and took a selfie with a group of fans up front...and got a yellow card in the first ever yellow card given out for taking a selfie! XD My chin hit the floor!

Oh I knew about this, because Kei Kamara who plays for Middlesbrough recently slagged the club off for doing nothing when he caught Malaria on vacation (don't know what he wanted us to do really) but he was so glad he was in his beloved Kansas City where people care about him (because we didn't apparently, well we don't know). #sodoffbacktokansaskei

He didn't run INTO the crowd, just down by the stands. The link I posted had a video. By the looks of things, he went into the press area and did it immediately in front of the stands. But still, he shouldn't have done it!

So he didn't do anything that dangerous, just stupid and arrogant. But had this been FIFA he'd have been the next Luis Suarez or Zidane (and probably been attacked by fans).

I noticed they fired a confetti cannon when SKC scored, I think they now need to blast that horrible #Selfie song with it now.

World Cup continues tomorrow and finals are this Sunday. I personally think Brazil's done for without Neymar but they're the last team I supported from the beginning left so I'd like to see them go all the way.

^ MLS is part of the CONCACAF who's organisation body is FIFA. So ultimately it is FIFA.

FIFA governs the majority of football played around the world (with the exception of Kosovan leagues as we have since learnt :lol

Kamara, is he the dickhead who came to Norwich and claimed his "secret weapon" was his leap?

Rooting for anyone but Brazil.

Might be!! - actually looked quite a good player - then again, with the rubbish they've served up in the last couple of seasons, a jellyfish would look quite good....

 

[Pierre]

Yeah Kamara played on loan at Norwich at the end of the 2012/13 season. He does have a good leap on him to be fair.

Just a shame he's a díckhead.

SO did anyone bet on that scoreline? If so drinks are on you

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

That match was certainly incredible!

 

[Jordanovichy]

Pretty dull game wasn't it? I'd like to have seen more goals.

Unfortunately, I picked 7-0....

(and if you believe that.....) :shock:

 

[Pierre]

I actually predicted there will be seven goals in the game on a Skybet twitter competition. Imagine my disgust when Brazil got a consolation.

 

[rtotheizzo17]

^To be fair it should have been 8-nil but that German player choked on a breakaway.

 

[DelPiero]

Both clubs confirmed transfer and fee, just waiting on medical. Suarez is said to be excited about trying the Spanish delicacies.

[Jordanovichy]

Good riddance to the ****.

 

[Jordanovichy]

Germany are the champions of the world. It was, in my opinion, a dull game, and what the hell was that from Messi? It flew through my **** bedroom window.

They also become the first European team to win the world cup in the Americas.

 

[rtotheizzo17]

German girlfriend/wifes.... shaaaaaawiiiiiiing!

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Decent final. Germany were certainly the team of the tournament.

 

[Jarrett]

I wanted Argentina to win because I like Messi but Germany deserved it. On that note, I have to say, all of Germany deserved to win except for Schweinsteiger. Between all the shoving, kicking Messi like that, and the theatrics, this game allowed me to discover that I flat out didn't like the guy. Germany won fair and square, with or without him, but I feel like having that **** on their team made me a little less happy for them. He ought to swim back to Germany.

Congrats to the rest of them though because they deserve it! And I'm impressed that [strike]Team USA[/strike] Howard could stand up to them like that.
