The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

N.Korea have done a lot better than I thought, 2-1 is a impressive score I think other teams would have caved sooner and let in even more

N. Koreaā€™s goal was pretty awesome.

N. Korea is BEST Korea! Brazil should have lost

Lolol :u:.

Anybody else think that their making too big a deal about the vuvuzelas. I donā€™t watch much soccer, but I do watch a lot of U.S. college (& pro) football. These stadiums get louder than anything and we donā€™t seem to be bothered by it.

Personally I donā€™t like it when they are played during national anthems, but during the games I hardly notice them

I was surprised N.Korea scored at all. They were doing ok in the first half, but started getting really sluggish in the second half. They didnā€™t really chase down the ball or Brazilā€™s players. Brazil had a LOT of shots on goal.

arg. someone beat brazilā€¦it took me so long to get home cuz the fuckin braziā€™s were parading in my downtown.

the thing i like about brazil is, they almost always play total attacking football, so their opponent can always try to retaliate, making the match more interesting. im not surprised if any teams scored past brazil, most of the time they still lose the match anyway lol.

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Dr. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Vuvuzelas originated in Mexico back in the 70ā€™s(or so my dad tells me), Iā€™ve grown up watching and playing soccer with those things blasting in the background. All this complaining is mainly from people who only watch soccer for a month every 4 years. Yā€™all just donā€™t know. :wink:

Except I watch soccer as much as I can, all year, and the Vuvuzelas are still annoying. Sure, you get used to them, but thereā€™s no reason fans canā€™t just cheer instead of making that shit sounds like a beehive 24/7.

Vuvuzelas are just a fact on the ground. To me theyā€™re part of the game, and it feels a little bit off whenever I watch a match and I donā€™t hear them in the background.

To each their own.

Yeah, by now I donā€™t even mind really.

Been watching almost every game so I kinda been used to it.

but man this pic is freaking hilarious.

Man, fucking honduras not doing shit vs chile. Hopefully, they can upset spain. That would be sweet.

Donā€™t get me wrong, I hate Spain, but I need them to win since I picked them in my ESPN bracket to make the final.
