  • The FIFA World Cup Thread (Spoilers Welcome)

    Instead of one per day, here is the thread for the remainder of the FIFA tournament, spoilers welcome. If you're DVRing a game, avoid this thread.

    Today's games.
    Mexico vs Cameroon
    Spain vs Netherlands
    Chile vs Australia

    Other news, USA vs Ghana is still 3 days away. Can't wait for Monday!

    I'll just repost what i had in the other thread:

    I've got Cameroon in a tie or winning 2-1 and Spain winning 1-0. Not sure about Chile Australia. Australia isn't that good but they always seem to have one good game.

      Cameroon winning 2-0 (I can't help it)
      Spain-Netherlands draw at 2-2
      Chile 3-1 over Australia

      Those are my picks and I'm sticking to them.

          I picked Mexico but would love to see Cameroon. It's a freaking monsoon.
          Spain 3-1.
          Chile 4-0.

          Somehow #MuckFexico is not trending on twitter. Come on folks.

              So much for the refs not screwing this game up.

                Disallowed Mexico goals are not "messing the game up". It's considered the correct call.

                      This one has legitimacy back after Mexico could have conceded a penalty kick but it wasn't called, and then they were given a questionable free kick which they choked on. This should continue to be an entertaining match as neither team can defend set pieces. Wow, another offsides disallowed goal. Technically correct because of the deflection but that one wouldn't always get called I think.

                        Seems weird that it is still offsides when the deflection goes off a defender. I obviously still suck at understanding soccer.

                          dos Santos might have scored there if he wasn't still crying.

                            Seeing Mexico get farked is hilarious.
