The unofficial World Cup Thread,

[Husar]

Meh, all these complaints about the ball, as someone said on TV, a lot of teams had one or two years to play with that ball and only now that they're losing in the world cup, they start to complain about it...just excuses IMO. It's not the first world cup where people keep shooting 100 meters above the goal either.

And it's interesting to see how Switzerland beat Spain, yet most people here bet on Spain winning and Switzerland losing their next games.
I actually like the idea that it's a bit more even this time and even the favourites have to fight a bit to get further in the tournament, it's either step up your game or go home, why shouldn't Honduras for example win the cup if they deserve it? Or the dutch?

It's set to be the lowest scored world cup in the current format. Less goals = boring tournament.
