The Football (Soccer) Thread - Season 2017/2018

lol i cant stand chicks who are ‘into’ football/soccer whatever… because most of the time they dont know wtf they talkin about and likin certain teams because of pretty players etc…

Not to jinx this or to get too far ahead of ourselves… but is it possible to see the US in a semifinal? I think so… I mean US / Ghana is going to be a tough match but I think the US can (and will) beat Ghana… that would lead them to play the winner of Uruguay / South Korea in the Quarterfinals… I think this US squad could beat S. Korea and while I think Uruguay might be the better side… its not inconceivable that in a one off, that the US could beat Uruguay and make a Semi-Final… thoughts???

:u: This QFT!

Russia :tup:

Yeah that’s usually my experience too, but there are legit female futbol fans, and some of the chicks on this show were former players and seem to know about their team and history. Maybe it was all fed to them or something, I can’t tell, but if it’s real that’s pretty cool.

^_-;

I think South Korea will have a hard time getting past Uruguay. And if they to meet the US, the US should be able to steamroll them. I think the US loses to Uruguay however.

wow this is why I stopped supporting italy, they look for free kicks at every oppotunity rather than play :lame:

Italy and France are the two teams that are characterized by their diving. This should come as a shock to no one, they got 11 Vlade Divacs out there. Hate em all you want, but it has worked for them in the past. Hopefully not this year. GO SLOVAKIA!!!

^_-;

US definitely loses to Uruguay. I don’t think anyone actually understands how good Uruguay is.

yeah… people are sleeping on uruguay.

Yep. Uruguay is a scary team. The US can beat Korea but they would probably get rolled by Uruguay. As a Korean-American, I’m just hoping South Korea doesn’t get demolished by Uruguay. I predict a final of 3-1 Uru, and that’s being hopeful. I’m glad South Korea actually got to the knockout rounds though. After the farce that was the 02 World Cup, I’m glad Korea showed that they can play well even without ludicrous home-court referee treatment. I couldn’t even root for them that year, it was embarrassing.

Anyway, I would love to see South Korea vs USA, so I can root for the US and troll my parents. I was born in the US. This is my home and my country, Korea is just where my parents are from. But I’ll root for Korea as long as they’re not playing the US.

probably because slovakia is deliberately fouling them to stall the game…

the us won’t be winning against a ghana 4-3-3 imo

lol italy

I really thought they’d come through, they are dirty lucky bastards but not this time, probably the first real shock for me.

Goodbye, Italy.

Dr. B dives in the same way that dude from The 13th Warrior “dived.”

Slovakia just took a page out of Italy’s book at the end of the game.

Only caught a bit of the game, both teams looked like they were trying to con the ref.

Since Ghana is now the only remaining African team they are getting my full support!

Couldn’t have said it better myself. In the city I live there are a lot of Italian people, and boy am I happy that they are out. It’s one thing to cheer for your team, but it’s completely something else when your team is garbage and you think they are the best in the world.

GO SLOVAKIA!

damnit…why did you lose italy…i need another team to support to defeat brasil lol.

uruguay should be in the final with argentina maybe…

if spain goes through they ll beat brasil :wink:

spain it is!

Argentina all the way
