Fifa world cup 2014

hehe project - how it is but I do also dislike the blatant cheating or as some codes call it professional fouls LOL......

We were just talking of maradona's hand of god at lunch - lost my respect that man that day, damn shame as many before and to date have amazing skill but to tarnish themsleves and the game.
FIFA has cracked down alot on the actors but it needs another boost and the game officials need to lift their game more so again just as the ref this morn made the decision on the pen without first consulting his lines people. That should be made mandartory excl the obvious foul.
No sport has it perfect in the rules and official divide but at least this game hasn't changed that much being run by technology compared to the many now.
Goal line tech has been introduced for this Cup finally, thats all it really needed tech wise now it just has to revist the "simulation" and blatant foul then its under control.

Talk about a roller coaster of emotions! Very proud of the boys this morning, couple of inches and Cahill's goal stand and we win IMO. Btw lets all lol @ Spain!

[FTe217]

Yep very proud of our guys first up performance ! And to think the defending chumps were thrashed
Who knows what the next game brings lol......but good on you guys done us proud.

Forza Azzuri handled England as they normally do - score enough then close up shop, copy book work !

So many matchs to talk about just too much on to keep up, bring on Portugal and the krauts as well.

Yes very happy - for our Socceroos and the Azzuri ! next in the family of importance is my wife's Portugese blood so its full on in my house hold LOL........
Been a flat out weekend - 1 son has had 3 games from Friday night finished up with having to drive to Wollongong (bonus took the T3 out for the run ), had a big night Sat night catching up with ol mates from the past and watching some Cup games sleep is a big issue at hand !

My Dutch blood was delighted with the win over Spain, and not just a little win
I will be torn on Thursday
Australia v Netherlands, I know Aust don't have a hope but..........

As Archilino had posted LOL @ the spanish getting a hiding, yes we all love the dominant nation getting owned at the same time I have admired their amazing run of success to date.
Great win the dutchies - no wooden glogs in that win, RVP is a legend as for Robbin can't stand the P but he can play !
Yes its looking ominus for us playing them next BUT I'm hoping we give it to them, couldn't even consider the hope for a draw just hope we hold our heads up and scare the be jesus out of them.
Yer Andrew its hard when your blood lines come into playing the nation you love and live in - I have been asked countless times where my legions lie ? I honestly cry/swear for both Nations, those not in our positions don't understand this.

Great to see some "attacking" football & great goals scored.
It drove me nuts the "I pass it to you, you pass it me, than back to the goalkeeper" crap from years ago.
Boot it over their heads, use the speedy players to score goals, then do it all over again, that's what rattles your opposition!!!

Best World Cup since USA '94.
