Been watching every game since it started....Can't believe the former champion nations aren't playing as expected with some of them already on the way out....I'm cheering Brazil as its been a household tradition for years...My second favorite team and 2010 world cup champion, Spain is packing their bags as their world cup is over....Can't believe it...

Can't believe Costa Rica beat Italy today and they beat Uruguay few days before... Germany playing strong as usual and Holland kicking ass...I'm hoping and expecting my team to go all way...

I'd be surprised if Murca goes too far...This ain't basketball where they'd normally dominate...

US, Italy, Netherlands, in that order. Not sure if US can even get out of the group so that's basically Italy. Brazil and Argentina for Neymar and Messi. Japan for Kagawa but they play shite.
**** Spain, **** England, Germany's next to get knocked out

I don't know how they divide up the teams, but the LA Kings did just win the Cup. I'm not sure how many of them go play for the Canadian team, but yeah

Poor USA. Renaldo fvcked the dog every time he got the ball, until the last minute.

I laughed my ass off when, about 3/4th of the way into the game, Renaldo had a 1vs1 chance with the goalie, and proceeded to kick it out of bounds.
Much skill. Much wow. Much lul.

23 men on the roster, 14 are Canadian. Two(Carter and Doughty) won a gold medal with Canada in Sochi.
Belgium is through to the round of 16. Awoooo!

The Portugal goal was bullshit, they changed 4 minutes added time to 5 minutes and of course Portugal scores at 94:50.
Portugal has been so shit, made US look like Dortmund circa 2012

Italy v Uruguay in an hour, draw qualifies Italy to 2nd place, win needed for Uruguay...
I expect it to be epic

Gogo Uruguay!
I liked how they played during the last WC so I rooted for them
Especially that game where one of the defenders sacrificed himself to block a ball with his hand and receive a red card. That game was epic. Anyone remember that
?

HAve to root for Italy though, need the Pirlo magic.

What the **** is wrong with Suarez? Farking cunt, I hope he gets banned for the rest of the tournament.
