World Cup!!!

There is one thing that pisses me off about group stages. Let's say we lose 2-0 to Germany and Ghana wins 1-0 against Portugal, Ghana advances. Goal differential is so stupid to me, I mean if it comes down to two teams with the same amount of points it should be whomever won the match between the two and if it were a tie THEN go goal differential.

Ghana would deserve it for a 2-2 draw vs a great German team and a win vs a Portugal team we drew with imo

Still, it would suck. Gahhh every team in our group deserves to move on imo. Same goes for the group with Italy, England, Uruguay and Costa Rica.

I tend to go by head to head results. If the teams tie in points, then head to head should be the tiebreaker. A group is a group, so common opponents shouldn't count more than head-to-head.

It's a bit like saying if Brazil beats Germany 1-0 in the Final, but Germany beats the only common opponent by more (let's say Germany beats Mexico 2-0 in knockout play, while Brazil had a 0-0 tie with Mexico), that Germany should get the win regardless of the head to head game. After all, Germany beat Mexico by 2, while Brazil couldn't score on them. Germany wins based on goal differential. That makes as much sense as your argument in favor of disregarding head-to-head results.

Not a surprise, but Altidore is officially ruled out for the Germany game.

I think Suarez just bit Chiellini. Not even a yellow by the ref. Italy playing a man down, and Uruguay just scored.

I tried looking for the replay on Youtube. All the angles are from behind, so you can't really tell. Looks like he might have though. He's soooo good. But who the fuck bites people. 3 times.

 

[PapaG]

Suarez should be banned for life. The red card was a disgrace, too.

ESPN just showed an angle showing the bite, and Chiellini has bite marks. What a disgraceful match.

Suarez just destroyed this World Cup. Ban that fucker for life.

Italy are like a team that plays prevent defense all game and loses lol

Anyway Europe is getting it's ass handed to them by the Americas and Africa.

 

[PapaG]

Suarez still on the pitch smiling and laughing. Liverpool should release him immediately, and FIFA should send him home and ban him from all FIFA-sanctioned play forever.

Italy got completely fucked by the refs. The red card was a joke, and Godin scoring a minute after Chompersuarez bit Chiellini is tainted.

The Mexican ref was clearly out of his element.

Unfuckingreal. Saurez is still on the pitch running around like everything is OK.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

This guy is bat shit crazy lol

 

[PapaG]

Ramirez should have been red-carded, too, for pulling Chiellini's shirt up.

There are some dirty plays in football where I don't know how the victim doesn't wheel around and clock the offender. Bucktoothed Suarez is a prime target.

What an ending to Ivory Coast-Greece!

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So, Greece or Costa Rica will be in the Quaterfinals. Would've never guessed that in a million years.

Holy shit, that tweet is full of win.

 

[PapaG]

Just saw Suarez' statement on ESPN. Basically denies it, and says he was shouldered in the eye.

Ban this fuck.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Holy shit, that tweet is full of win.

That's not a legitimate twitter account, is it?

Diamond Leung: Bogut talks Suarez & recalled Reggie Evans: "As I was arm-barring him just running down the court he grabbed both me nipples & twisted 'em.

Predictions today gents?

I think we move on, but Germany wins the group.

Looking and hoping for a draw, anything more would be a delightful surprise. The last time the USA had a fight vs Germany like this was....

Don't remind me if that handball.

In other news, Suarez gets a 9 match van from FIFA.

 

[porkchopexpress]

Also 4 months from all "football activity". No clue what that means. Does FIFA have any authority over Liverpool and the EPL?
