Right, but Alen doesn't know that. Not his fault, I wouldn't want to watch Slovenia play, although CR are miles better than Slovenia and other European nations such as them.

True. According to DP84 Croatia is better than USA and there is nothing that supports that statement. Not even FIFA rankings. Its just bias towards the teams they're familiar with.

That's true, but if you are butthurt about Rossi choosing Italy, surely you would hate European players joining the American national team for the glory, right?

I'm not though, I love that he chose Italy and isn't even playing.

Do you even know what 70% humidity means?

Depend on the climate - in home city we have 70-80% of humidity and it does mean that you become instantly wet outside when the sun shines on you, if the temperature is 30C or above and humidity is huge your body could easily become overheated and this violate the heat loss from the skin surface, you workrate will downfall instantly in this circumstances if you are notprepared for it

Croatia would beat USA 9 times out of 10. and that comes from a neutral fan in this case

A stupid one, I see. Of course they wouldn't be that big a favorite.

Yeah you're very neutral.

The sun "shining on you" has nothing to do with humidity levels. Humidity is simply a measure of air saturation.

Portugal is better than Croatia, they haven't beaten us 9 times out of 10.

You're about as neutral as Traitorman Swag.

No we won't.

I'm not underestimating the SA and NA teams. Those guys, in many occasions, outplayed the European teams no matter where the match was played. Mexico are in fact better than Croatia, despite lacking individuals like Modric, and I'd fully expect them to qualify from this group even if it was played in Germany or South Africa. But it's bloody obvious that the weather is crippling the teams who aren't used to it.

I don't really care about Rossi. Wrong American bro.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

so football should only be played in spring in non-coastal mediterranean cities from 5 to 8 pm with a clear forecast

Otherwise it's unfair.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

Croatia would ejaculate in my face, 9 men out of 10.

That's why I was asking Bjerknes.

You quoted me.

I meant outside of the house, the difference is huge, you can feel it with every breathe that you take especially in the summer when it's 30C+ outside the house, we have a rivers and black sea here, so our air is full of h2o

World cup 2014 AKA Copa America.

I'd say Croatia lost it because of poor tactics and obviously they were robbed against Brazil

World cup 2014 AKA Copa America.

Copa of All America

 

[zizinho]

Modric - Rakitic - Kovacic, one of the best midfields around, they are hardly 6-7 teams with a better midfield than Croatia, add Mandzukic, the experienced Srna and Olic and thats a pretty good team. now lets see the USA. Dempsey is obviously a classy player, but Croatia has atleast 3 players better than him. Bradley, Jones, Altidore, Howard, Beasley and that that guy from Island. not good enough to be better than Croatia in my opinion. what Croatia lacks is a better coach. they just picked the current one 5 months ago and even if he hadnt had time to sort everything out, he has done a good job. thats still not good enough and they should aim for a better one...

Speaking of... the next Copa is gonna be played in the US. Oh right!

 

[Bjerknes]

Personally, I think we should hold the World Cup in tornado alley, right in the middle of Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. The matches can only be played when a moderate or high risk severe weather event is predicated. Of course, we would have to use existing fields without any stadiums, but we would fly in the players to areas with tornado watches. If there happens to be a confirmed tornado on the ground, we can rush Nani and the rest of the players to scene to hopefully have them kickoff before the tornado hits. That would be the "coolest" World Cup ever, and highly exciting for TV viewers.

Maybe we can strap Rossi to one of those tornado chasing vehicles so he can finally get close to playing in the World Cup.

I forgot to mention that Sochi will host the next world cup and teams will have a hell of time here because of the sunny weather and huge humidity so pray for that your teams will avoid our city
