he defs played rly well

ozil had such a good chance at goal and when he missed and muller had a chance and missed i was like "oooooooooooooh" hahahaha

portugal was all over the place and played poorly and that was rly poor form of pepe lol what an idiot

Would you say that Germany were just really good or Portugal was sloppy and they capitalised?

idk im pretty nooby wif soccer but i thought it was the latter.

Pepe - no words to describe

both tbh

portugal were sloppy but it takes a good team to take advantage of cases like this to full effectiveness

case in point is how well germany executed their chances statistically, particularly in that first half where they scored off almost every chance they got

not to mention the excellent positioning etc.

Like for Pepe's red card, yeah that was obviously his fault for very stupidly deciding to grab Muller's face (massive brain fart) but if you looked at the play it was also a result of sheer desperation due to the fact Muller was so well-positioned he could have very well scored from that play if not stopped

 

[Kiraken]

reminds me of the Bayern Munich side under Jupp

the way they played was so ruthless; especially on the counter

that 2012-2013 season so good

Oath

the champions league final was great to watch too

shame Dortmund hasn't been the same since

dortmund are still pretty good though

 

[Kiraken]

but not at the peak where they were the side teams looked up to when utilising the high press

although Marco Reus is one of my favourite players so

devo he isnt in the world cup

 

[Kiraken]

admittedly i have been following the european leagues very loosely at best for the last year or so but im planning to get back into it after the world cup, the awesomeness of it tends to get me more into football hahaha

World Cup fever is unstoppable, im a complete noob when it comes to soccer but i cant help but want to watch (and get fifa cravings)

It's a team in the German league.

fkn watched germany and nigeria games, worth the all nighter before my exam
germany game showed me that i disliked germany for the same reasons i disliked bayern. wouldnt say they were that great, portugal was just terrible and my god pepe is retarded. as someone else was saying if he overreacts to the hand in the face then at least hurt the cunt if youre gonna get a red. bayern has turned muller into a bit of a prick...
nigeria-iran game was hilarious, nigeria absolutely terrible, im confident that bosnia will make easy work of both teams

 

[Shadowdude]

Watched the Germany-Portugal match in full today... some of the early exchanges were just ridiculous.


But yeah... healthy procrastination this morning


Going to wake up early for Brazil v Mexico tomorrow morning - should be an interesting match!

Nigeria and Iran was a good match actually.

The play with these type of teams is a lot more slow paced so you sometimes see really spectacular plays occur because usually the defence is slower to respond to a mad run or play.

Yeah, decent game 0-0 though, some good breaks.

Yeah I saw them long balls which 5 year old kids play.

I never said it was good football. I just meant it was interesting because more mistakes are made so more random funny stuff happens.

Kinda like those funny goals you see scored on weekend district games lol.
