I know its only one match but most impressive countries to me thus far are Germany ,Colombia, Netherlands. Tomorrow my dark horse Beligium plays, interested to see what they come out like.

Belgium is everyones dark horse so they aren't a dark horse anymore. 

yeah i mean especially in that group. they should come out of it easily.

bosnia is the only true dark horse i've heard people call a dark horse at this point

Don, aside from you (& a few others) there are just too many oompa loompas in that thread talking ish...

It's better to be in here amongst people who actually watch footy year round...

Anyway... did not know Carlos is with Iran now...

I peeked in the other thread just now, and within 5 posts there was an Oompa Loompa post.

I'm so glad there is a separate thread.

 

[don ramon]

doesn't this head ref from ecuador have some bad history behind him or something? i sorta recall he had questionable call against italy (?) in some international competition

i'm cool with iran winning though i can't say i'm too well versed with either current team

You can't say a word in there without some tool trying to cut your throat for not saying what they want to hear.

Some of them have made their way over to this thread too.

Barrage of attacks! 

 

[DeadsetAce]

couple nice sequences from iran so far. nothing close to a chance though

 

[don ramon]

nigeria seem way too nimble & far superior with ball handling though the endurance thing could get interesting as the game progresses

Ugh...

When we get an opportunity we need to make it count

 

[rook]

That pitch looks awful

First 0-0 of the tournament?

 

[Beans]

very uninspiring game

 

[tego calderon el abayarde]

Nigeria

 

[Coromanti]

Lmao..I said 2-1 in nigeria's favor....

Is it wrong to say that within 10 minutes I could see the decrease in quality of play compared to south american/european sides?

 

[mcraptor]

No Essien or KPB for Ghana today?

Still going to win

 

[licensed to ball]

Iran will take the 0-0 tie..

But of course, if we REALLY want even the slimmest chance of moving on... We really need a goal...

Were hanging in there
