World Cup - 2014 Brazil

[Peter Renn]

I like our team but not the coach, haha but im sure we go through but I'm also sure we won't take the cup home haha

I'm glad I'm not betting on this world cup, I would have lost my car if I had been.

Why are the big European teams struggling so much? Are they not acclimated to the heat/humidity of the Brazilian climate? Whatever it is, I hope the trend continues for Portugal tomorrow.

Yea i think so, i mean there must be a reason why no European team ever succeeded in an Latin American worldcup if u compare our performances to countries like colombia Uruguay o Chile, u can see they used to all that weather thing, its not an excuse but it has been like that in all the worldcups over there, so its quiet possible at least one south American team play the final, maybe two . even for costa rica its easy to handle..

No euro team won in Argentina because.....it wasn't allowed. XD They rewrote the offside law that WC. >.<

It wasnt the only wc over there haha. European only good if wc in europe, there has never been an exception, looks like this time neither
Only 2010but south Africa seemed different haha
But on the other hand brasil is the only team from over there winning in europe 1958,so for them here difficult too

There hasn't been a winner from Europe but in the modern era there has always been a European in the final (apart from once maybe?).....which means they were only beaten by one S. American team. Its not really a picture of domination imo. And its not like there have been many held in S America either.

Thats i told u before they only have brasil n argentine rest is europe on a wc and well even final, but winning counts and spain is the only team from europe managed a win outside of europe, nd wc been in brasil, argentine, mexico, Uruguay....

Its not only winners that count if folks are blaming the weather. 5 tournies, 3 different S. American winners and 4 European finalists.Holland came within a goalpost width and Germany close too - to close for there to be any reason other than just being beaten by the team or by things other than weather imo. I'm just saying - just because they won doesn't mean they didn't do it by being the better team or most currupt regime etc, no need for us over here to look for climatic excuses.

Of course but u can see by observing these teams from over there they handle it quiet easy, its like if teams play in Bolivia where also argentine got 6 goles cause they have the highest over sea level ground where play their home games and so i say whatever, Klima can change things, but of course teams have loads time to prepare, but its different if u know it all life o just have get used to for a month n never again. All Latin teams looking ok besides Ecuador and Honduras. But thats cause no quality there haha
For example the german game today had 36 degrees n 60% humidity, that's something in germany u never play a match n by the way how did ghana lose vs usa?? They played very well today haha

Why Mr. Manager of Bosnia/Herzegovia, WHY did you not start Vedad Ibišević ?!?! (I am wholly biased, and Dzeko is awesome and all.. but I've followed Ibišević his whole career) The refs aren't helping either.
