[WC] World Cup 2014 - General Talk Thread (19 Viewers)

[swag]

The team they played in the final qualifier was literally the starting line up from Club America.

Curious to see if he carries that through to the WC and leaves the pampered Mexican Eurotrash on the bench.

Several games moved to earlyer times cause of broadcaster pressure on Fifa to get higher ratings

number of fucks given that playing at 13h increases the chance for a heatstroke significantly compared to 18h : 0

number of media suggesting the games were moved for a better night of sleep : nearly all of them


Yeah you heard it, playing on 18h is bad for your sleep

What's particularly hilarious is the British press who saw that as yet another excuse to suggest that the deck is stacked against them before they even take the pitch. As if Italy is somehow acclimatized to playing in tropical rainforest heat while England is not.

I love how Bjerknes still thinks everyone cares about his opinion regarding this matter

Obviously you (plural) do, considering everyone always responds.

Fact: if you support a nation you have no relationship to, you're a moron. I understand that means 50% of you are morons, but that is actually a better moron-to-OK ratio than the American public voting for Obama twice, so you might not be that bad after all!

 

[Hust]

I love you Andy.

Fuck the haters

And fuck Obama

 

[Bjerknes]

Love you too, Killah Cam.

Like I said, they wouldn't respond if they didn't care.

But fanboys will always crave affection and acceptance, which is why they're all fuucking queers.

Tuzers love to pick fights.

Internet pussies everywhere

how funny would it be if the final was usa italy and rossi scores the winning goal for italy?


it would be really funny imo

 

[Bjerknes]

It would be funny, you're right. It would be a farce. Italy's greatest player produced by the US. What a bunch of greasy Jersey traitors.

I don't know enough about him, apart from that he's good.

If he wanted to play for the US I'd take him.

parents fled from kosovo to belgium. He was born and raised here untill he was 16 or 18. Then when he got some fame, and our NT coach gave him a call-up, he refused cause he preferred a diffrent NT

he hasn't picked a NT yet. maybe he's just not ready. stop complaining until he actually picks a team.

What do you consider "a relationship with a country"? Do you only count blood, or does it also include having spent time in a country, or taking an interest in its culture outside of a footballing context? Just curious.

 

[Bianconero81]

If you aren't bound by blood (not even a passport counts), then you have no business supporting that team/country.

Hence, Rossi is a fake Italien soaked in Marinara sauce with shredded Parmesan cheese for hair

 

[Bjerknes]

It has nothing to do with blood. All about citizenship. If you want to have a World Cup based on blood type please make it happen.

What if you hold dual citizenship? Which country do you represent then?

Interesting question. Let me get back to you on that one

 

[.zero]

What if you hold dual citizenship? Which country do you represent then?

Neither, since there is opportunity for bias for 2 countries you must respectfully refrain from supporting any national team whatsoever.

 

[Zacheryah]

He refused a call-up and made it clear he wont pick Belgium, the country that he grew up in for 16 years.

How exactly is there a way back from that

This doesn't make sense.
