"soccer elitist"

ask the footy thread guys...i'm FAR from a soccer elitist. my knowledge of soccer is avg at best...and i don't pretend to be on their level

It’s super lame to nit pick a soccer newb like me. Leave me alone I’m trying to learn the game.

Not particularly WC related but I just saw UA speedform leather cleats at Marshall's. Picked up a pair to play in this summer. I doubt I'm going to find anything better for $40

So far, the only top sides that were able to take care of business are Uruguay and France. Who would have thought?

The World Cup never disappoints.

 

[ihavemyownopinion]

And even then, Uruguay and France just barely pulled off their wins

 

[ahat]

Uruguay was lucky Mo didn't play

Yup.. curious as hell to see Belgium after seeing some of these squads look pretty flat

Colombia too

 

[chippedtoothsmile]

I expect Belgium and the English to take care of business tmrrw. Group H is going to be really interesting cause any of the 4 can advance

Group stages looking like food.

And the USMNT dropped their lunch money

Don’t put us in the same category as those German bums. We didn’t lose our opener.

A 48 nation tournament will be exhausting

but at least we should be a lock to make it

Who is we? I'm Canadian, F America b

oh good for you

 

[EddieDoyers]

Lol Canada might not have even qualified for a 48 team tournament if it weren't for the auto qualification

 

[layziegunts]

It won’t be exhausting. The group stage is only 3 teams each followed by a round of 32 knockout stage. Trust me I can’t wait

pLATINum Sound-off

-Costa Rica is Navas plus 10 bums. I cant believe how bad they played. Coulda ended 4-0 Serbia. Nothing like the 2014 team in style and poise.

-Mexico played con ganas. Herrera,Salcido, Lonzano, and Ochoa had a great game.

-Germany treated this game like Mexico treats a Copa Oro match vs St.Vincent. Germany will be ok. They are still contenders.

-Brazil doesnt scare anyone. They are a good team but not a great team.

-Switzerland played the best game ive seen them play ever. They are normally anti-footy and just sitback but today they actually attacked even after they tied. #respect
