Day 14: Mexico vs Sweden, South Korea vs Germany, Serbia vs Brazil, Switzerland vs Costa Rica

Englands 2022 campaign is a write-off then.

:lol: I'm sure England will find a way to feck it up even if all the top teams get knocked out before facing them.

Anyway, you haven't faced any serious opposition so far, so I wouldn't get too cocky.
 
We didn't though. Korea scored at the end when we were desperate for a goal. We weren't good enough to get out of this group, but we we didn't take 'a hell of a beating' against any of the 3 teams. We were pedestrian and had no creativity going forward, no chances created. We didn't loose because our opposition was great, we lost because we were poor.

Edit: Credit to Mexico and Korea though, they worked their socks off and deserved their wins.

You lost 2 games out of 3, to Korea and Mexico. You only beat Sweden in the last minute because of the fecking idiot Guidetti. You actually were so terrible that I started rooting for Mexico after half time. Yeah, you guys took a hell of a beating. It doesn't fecking matter if your opposition was great or not. Good night
 
When we lost 3-0 to the Netherlands a few weeks ago in a friendly a german poster here commented sarcasticly: Behold the european champions...

Well, behold the world champions.
It can happen to everyone, even to them, nothing against them but some of their fans have the bad habit of dismissing other teams.
 
Koreans'll probably decline. If not outright spit on the food.

If Mexico had won, depending on the score, Korea would have advanced.
That's true, mate. Japan and Korea to advance would be awesome.

I don't know what happened to Mexico.
 
I want Mexico and Portugal in the final - to decide once and for all which is the greatest nation on earth.

... Non of which constitutes a beating. We lost, it happens in sports, it's not as if we were dominated or lost big in either of the games we lost. I guess we took a beating if every loss is a beating.
 
I'm not a Belgium fan but I love how every time people seem to completely ignore them as a threat to any other team going forward. Clearly they re one of the few to win convincingly.
 
Feck ze germans. Good stuff.

I actually like the football they play, when they speed it up. A good kick in the teeth, too arrogant.

Everyone is waiting for Belgium to destroy England before declaring them anything.
Panama and Tunisia are hardly any competition.
 
The way this World Cup has gone, I don't think anyone can strongly predict any match results in the KOs. Everything could happen. What a tournament!

and to think Portugal and Argentina were centimetres away from going home as well ... :D

Really hope the Knock-outs are half as good as the group stage, it'll immediately make the tournament the best since 1998.

It could genuinely be a W.C where a favourite does not win.
 
My God this is absolutely incredible! One of the best World Cup moments I've ever witnessed! Take that Germany, that's for ruining our party a few days ago!
 
Man i felt bad for the koreans at the end. Probably they didnt know that sweden beat mexico so they had hope until the very end. You can tell by the way they celebrated the goals.

Damn this WC is so weird that everytime i remember we are not in it i get so angry

Godammit fecking alcoholic pricks (vidal et al) :mad:
 
Are you still rooting for Iran?
If you want to know I won't mind if we lose against Uruguay on Saturday no, by the way don't have problems with any team, only said that because a few German fans I know aren't the most humble on earth even if they have historic reasons for that, ok the Brazil and Argentina fans even worse but that is another matter.
 
Saturday, Argentina will beat France and we will lose vs Uruguay, you can quote me.
Both teams are bad and only a miracle would save Mendes, about Argentina they have good players but when you have a coach asking Messi if Aguero can go in.......I have a bad feeling this World Cup is going to be the WC of terrible games with double deck buses in front of the goal.
 
Thanks @SCP I am really enjoying this:drool:This is the difference between a manager that is weak and only cares about Zlatan's ego (Mr. Hamrén) and a manager that cares about building a team (Mr. Andersson). We really shouldn't even be in this world cup, but we have over-achieved thanks to our manager. :)
 
The ref was terrible in that game too, it's been happening every single time with the big teams.

6 minutes of extra time and every call was going Germany's way at the end. Teams need to stop being favoured because of their name.
 
LOL Just watched the goals. What the hell Neur was doing there ? And even tried to take on a player ? I can't stop laughing. :lol::lol:
 
This is crazy.

Just lay eight pitches together and put all sixteen teams on the field at the same time and let them duke it out battle royale style.

It's all the rage these days.

Exactly. Janne has everything Hamrén did not, cojones.

Teams always know.

Fifa ranked 256th team (or whatever) is probably going to celebrate goals against the #1 team like that regardless of the circumstances.
 
It's a completely deserved elimination for Germany. In all 3 games they showed big big weaknesses and this exit is a natural evolution. Their tiki taka ball possession style was completely outdated and sussed out in this tournament especially when you arrive without a top striker or defenders not interested in defending. Sane or no Sane would make no difference with a team that has such major flaws like this. Perhaps it's better for them to exit now to serve as a wake up call because if they'd gone to the knockouts it could've got very ugly indeed. I've never seen a Germany team as wide open defensively as this one and again today The South Koreans should've put the game to bed long before they did.
