2014 FIFA World Cup Thread

So corrupt. How do i get in on this huge Pozi scheme.

hopefully we see some good game though.

 

FIFA is probably only rivaled by the IOC in terms of corruption. That and the obscene amount of money Brazil is dumping to a massive white elephant construction program kinda taints the whole thing.

That being said, the only thing that's going to be keeping me from watching every frickin game is work and a vacation to the Sierras where we won't have cell service (let alone TV). Gonna miss most of the quarter and semi finals, sadly.

that is simply amazing

 

T-45 mins to opening kickoff!!

 

thought it was at 1pm (west coast), no?

 

A, B and G are my groups.

 

What time do guys think the game will actually start?

 

ESPN app on my Note3 says 12:30, so kick off more likely at 12:40ish

 

D is the real group of death... this games are going to be pure FIRE! 3 major power houses in one group....

 

X2 can't wait

 

Whadabout Group B? you've got the two teams that met in the 2010 final (Spain and Holland), plus Chile who are no slouches.

Italy are true contenders, but England never live up to their potential (or at least they never live up to their expectations)

 

I pointed that out on the OP

 

I will not likely pass a lot of time watching the World Cup, but I love the game of soccer. Any countries I have an emotional attachment towards are not involved, so I won't be motivated in that way.
I will pick out some matches that pique my interest as the tournament develops.

 

I really got hooked on the last World Cup, since my wife was 9 months pregnant and all. We are really stoked to see it this year. USA - all the way, but we're really in it for the fun and exciting matches.

 

is going to be easy to keep up with the score on the World Cup

 

I'm Spanish and the wife is Portuguese so I'm rooting for España or Portugal, and of course USA.

 

wow the Brazilian players are pumped! shouldn't be surprised I guess

 

whens the united states first game

 

First game starts now hope we see lots of goals on both ends.

 

I put a link on the OP with the matches and dates
