QUOTE (acid911 @ Jun 14 2014, 12:17 AM) Exactly, that's why they are my second favorite team. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And Robben has always been one of my favorite players of this current generation, few favorite players of this current generation. So glad to see him perform like this today, would have preferred a hatrick, to be honest. But amazing stuff, either way. Breathtaking. The way I like to see football played. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) Pity we don't always get it like this, the game is so off the tangent. And you know what was my favorite sight of this match? Seeing the two smug basturds Blatter and Platini looking like the two smug basturds they are when the scoreline was 5-1. I don't mind Holland. (Have liked them since the "Clockwork Orange" days.) Hard not to take them seriously after today, though they have been known to start out strong and then fall apart after a few games. (I guess I will have to become a Chile fan as well, at least for the group stage. I really do not like Spain.)

QUOTE (acid911 @ Jun 14 2014, 01:08 AM) Agreed. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But they almost went all the way last time. Can't say I disagree. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I'm rooting for the Aussies, though. The Aussies almost tied ...

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/king.gif) The Aussies are the greatest nation in sports, they take athletics and fitness very seriously, and when they get into a sport, they always give their best. Cricket, hockey, football. Not my favorite team by any count, but I've always gotten behind them in all World Cups I've seen them play. Respect.

QUOTE (William405 @ Jun 13 2014, 01:53 AM) Thiago silva is only player I really like in this brazilian squad. And well, Hernanes. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And Caesar. The three I care about, the rest are mostly fluff. QUOTE (Danny @ Jun 13 2014, 02:54 AM) If all 11 of them were Milan starters I still wouldn't want them to win. I support Milan. Not Italy. Haha, vintage Danny. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I don't mind Italy all that much, in fact, I consider them the only real and traditional rival to Brazil. But I'd rather them not win this one, I'd rather them not even come close. Because if they do, they have the potential to go all the way. And considering 2006, nah, some other team, please.

I don't actually hate Italy that much, albeit like you I sure don't want them winning this tournament. But I definitely dislike England and Spain way more hence I will be supporting Italy tomorrow night.

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm okay with England going to the quarter at least. Better option than Germany, any given four years cycle. Thing with Italy and Germany is that they are awfully hard to stop once they get going. Both are teams with history and tradition, unlike say Spain, which I absolutely don't care an iota about. Unless, when they are getting humbled, hammer and humiliated like today. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Then I do care about them.

That was so satisfying!!
Also, congrats FIFA for deciding to use the Hawk-Eye technology, you're only a decade behind tennis. Well, you're half a century behind most sports in every other aspect so I guess that's a good thing for you.
