Go ahead, make fun of soccer. Never mind that 2 billion people will be watching it. Go ahead and tell me about “bread and circuses” …. as if you don’t have your favorite entertainment distraction. Surely — “don’t call me Shirly!!” — SOMEONE here played ute soccer, or have their own offspring-utes playing soccer …. not to mention all our overseas guests, and folks like El Burrito (go Mehico!!)
So, I actually created a Bracket Group on ESPN. It’s called “Village Idiots”, (really) and the motto is “Start the damn revolution”. You can use your SAME name as in the basketball bracket, otherwise, just create one on ESPN. It’s fast and easy. You can fill out as many brackets as you want. There’s no password. Just click the link below;
http://games.espn.go.com/world-cup-bracket-predictor/2014/en/group?groupID=40417
Just one quirk. If (and that’s a BIG if) you enter, you must choose ALL the teams for EACH round before going to the next round. That’s because, unlike basketball, not every team stays in the same group. Only the winner of a group stays in the same group, the second place team in a group goes to another group. It sounds complicated, but it’s not. Again, just complete each round in its entirety before going to the next round.
If you want to play, but you’re a Soccer Moron … here’s a little insider help for you.
First of all, do NOT judge a team according to the seedings. The seedings (and, rankings) are determined by FIFA, and it’s a complete and utter joke, trust me. So, below are the Groups, their ranking by the much more reliable Soccer Power Index (SPI), their chances of winning it all, and some Stucky commentary.
Note: The “odds” is an unusual and complicated system by oddsshark.com — about as reliable as any odds-maker out there. What you need to know: The LOWER the number (even into negative territory), the HIGHER the odds of that team winning it all.
First, here is a pictorial representation of the teams.
Teams below are listed in order of SPI ranking. The format is — (Team — SPI Ranking ——— Odds of Winning)
Group A
Brazil ………. 1 …… -400
Mexico …..… 26 ….. 900
Croatia …….. 31 ….. 800
Cameroon … 39 ….. 2500
BRAZIL — MORTAL LOCK!! Not enough that they’re the #1 team in the world, they are playing in front of wild-assed crazyfuk fans. They will get ALL the calls. Home field advantage in soccer is worth a .58 goal advantage … a HUGE number. They’re going to the FINAL game. You’re a dumbass, or fanatical fan of another team, to believe otherwise. Very many experts believe they should just give Brazil the trophy now, and be done with it.
MEXICO — Second place (the other team going to the next round) is a tossup between Mexico and Croatia. Mexico has been HISTORICALLY disappointing in the World Cup. They’ll have a big advantage over Croatia if the playing conditions are hot and humid. Croatians will have the advantage if there’s a head of lettuce growing on or near the playing field. I’m not picking Mehico to advance. I hope this pisses off El Coyote.
CROATIA – The Croats have one of soccer’s best midfielders, Luka Modric, who starts for the best team in the world, Real Madrid. The White House was built with Croatian limestones. Da boyz got stones. Pick ‘em.
CAMEROON — “Cameroon” comes from a Portuguese phrase meaning Shrimp River. It’s also Austrian for “No fucking way.”. The only ting they’re leaving Brazil with is the clap.
Group B
Spain ……..…… 3 ..….. -135
Chile ……..……. 5 …….. 225
Netherlands …. 9 ……. -400
Australia …..…. 53 ……. 3300
SPAIN — Mortal Lock. Probably the best team, top to bottom. A roster filled with All Stars. The Spanish team as currently constructed is considered one of, if not the best, national teams of all time. They won the last two Euro titles as well as the 2010 World Cup. The players can walk on water. The coach once fed an entire stadium, even though he had only 5 tacos and 2 sardines in his lunchbox.
CHILE — They are VERY long and skinny. Oh, wait …. that’s their country. Don’t underestimate this VERY good team …… except …. their star midfielder, Arturo Vidal, is just recovering from knee surgery. Without him playing very well, they’ll have a tough time taking 2nd place from the Netherlands.
NETHERLANDS — Was in the last WC final against Spain … where they played like cheap dicks. Even their own legendary player, Johan Cruyff, said they played “ugly, vulgar, hard, hermetic, hardly eye-catching, hardly football style”. Haven’t been playing great lately, getting trounced in the Euro 2012 tournament. If they can pull their dicks out of the dyke, they just might advance.
AUSTRALIA – Get some Brazilian pussy. Go home. Call it a good outing.
Group C
Colombia …..… 6 ….. -150
Ivory Coast ….. 18 ….. 400
Greece …….….. 23 ….. 400
Japan …………. 32 ….. 900
COLUMBIA —- Yet another very strong South American team. Many have Colombia as the tournament’s best underdog. Many years ago USA played Columbia in the WC. Some player scored an “own goal”. About two months after he returned to Columbia, he was murdered. Colombian players have a lot of incentive to not fuck up.
IVORY COAST — ANY of the other teams can advance to the next round. But, this team only appeared in two WCs and never advanced out of group stage. Not that it matters, but they make great soaps which float.
GREECE — 55% of the utes in Greece graduate with a four-year college degree, which is the highest rate in the world. 25% of them are unemployed and have beautiful hair. In ancient Greece, after a goal was scored, the opposing players would fuck their goalie in the ass. That’s all I know about Greek soccer.
JAPAN — I really don’t like Japs. They’re still hunting and killing whales. That wasn’t good enough for them, so now they want to kill everything in the Pacific Ocean. Plus, their women’s team beat the USA in the last WC final. Fuck Japan and their slanty eyes.
Group D
Uruguay ……. 8 ….. 180
England ……. 10 ….. 225
Italy ……..….. 13 ….. 150
Costa Rica …. 25 ….. 5000
URUGUAY — Jeezus, how many very good teams are there in SA?? But, this is a really tough group. However, they have waaay to many fuckin’ “U”s in their name. No country with that many “U”s has ever won it all. They rely on two super-duper players …. the rest of the team is rather average. They went as far as the semis in the 2010 WC, and won the 2011 COPA. They also lost to crappy teams. Which team shows up, nobody knows.
ENGLAND –— Is there a MORE historically disappointing team in the WC? Well, is there, punk? NO!! The Brits invented a word to describe their soccer teams …. WANKERS. I’m not picking them, evah.
ITALY — A historic European powerhouse. This year’s team is comprised largely with the same players from the last WC, four years ago. Translation … this team is OLD, in terms of soccer. They’ll advance, but only because Costa Rica sucks, and England Wankers always fuck up.
COSTA RICA — This country is sandwiched between Nicaragua and Panama, and yet somehow they don’t give a shit about baseball. Dumbasses. They also don’t care about soccer, and they have zero chance of advancing.
Group E
France ……..….. 7 ….. -125
Ecuador ……….11 …… 350
Switzerland …..22 ….. 250
Honduras ……. 33 ….. 3300
FRANCE — True story, google it; “French foreign intelligence services bombed Greenpeace’s ship, the Rainbow Warrior, on July 10, 1985. The ship was targeted to prevent it from interfering in French nuclear testing in the Pacific.” They BOMBED Greenpeace!! Why? Cuz the Greepeace ship had no guns. I don’t like the French. I’m not going to do a search to give you all a little tidbit. I don’t give a shit about that country. Arrogant little fuckers think swapping spit was their invention!
ECUADOR — Krist Almighty, another very good SA team. No analysis. Fuckit. I’m not picking them. Why? Cuz no way in hell will ALL South American teams advance. I gotta pick a scapegoat loser. Might as well be Ecuador. They’re used to it.
SWITZERLAND — This is the most interesting team in the entire field. German coach, several Germanic players = Germany Light. An interesting tidbit; unlike most teams, this team does not have a single “superstar”. If you like team-play, you’ll love this team. They lost only 1 of 18 games in qualifying. The Under-17 World Cup is an excellent indicator of a team’s future success. The Swiss won the 2009 Under-17 World Cup. You know who won the last World Cup? Spain. Do you know who was the only team to beat Spain? Yup, the Swiss. They’re more experienced, and better. Can they be THE Dark Horse this year? I think so. Once the USA gets booted, and should Germany falter, I will be cheering mightily for the Swiss.
HONDURAS –— Ever heard of the Soccer War? Yup. Honduras and El Salvador player three times in order to qualify for the 1970 World Cup. El Salvador won 2 of 3 games, and qualified. Honduras got to pick bananas, the people got vewy vewy angry, and fucked up a bunch of El Salvadorans via riots and general mayhem. Naturally, the Salvadoran military launched an attack against Honduras. Seems like a good response to me. The war only lasted 100 hours. However, it took another 11 fucking years for the two countries to sign a peace treaty. Ain’t that some funny shit?? Did you know they have the world’s highest murder rate? Honduras CAN advance out of group play …. but, only IF all the players are allowed to bring Glocks.
Group F
Argentina ……….. 2 .….. -400
Bosnia-Herz. ….. 14 …… 600
Nigeria ………..…. 28 ….. 800
Iran ……………….. 38 ….. 3300
ARGENTINA — South American …. fuckmedead!! … 2nd ranked team in the world …. Mortal Lock …. blah blah blah …. just pick ‘em all the way to semis.
BOSNIA-HERZ —- Amazing story that such a small and new country is so good at soccer. Did you know they have the only remaining jungle in Europe? It’s called the Perućica forest … has many trees that are 300 years old, and the forest’s vintage is stated to be 20,000 years. In some places the forest growth is almost impregnable. 10 more really truly fascinating facts about Bosnia here —- http://www.expatsblog.com/contests/799/top-10-crazy-things-about-living-in-bosnia-and-herzegovina#sthash.onfw30Kp.dpuf Pick ‘em!!
NIGERIA — here’s all you need to know … they lost last week to the USA, 2-1 … and it was much uglier for them than the score indicates. They suck Obongo dick. Also, someone from Nigeria is trying to scam you right this very moment.
IRAN — Iran???? WTF are they doing in the WC?? Good thing their first game, or any other, isn’t against Da Joos. I leave it to our own beloved ZARATHUSTRA to enlighten us on Iranian soccer. I’m betting Ahura Mazda was Player-Of-The-Year back in 24,678B.C.
Group G — The Group of Death
Germany ………. 4 …… -180
Portugal ………. 16 …… 275
United States … 17 …… 1000
Ghana …………. 24 …… 1200
GERMANY — Deutschland Uber Alles!!! Undefeated in the qualification stage ….. scoring 36 goals in 10 games ….. in the TOP 2 (or, 3) in offensive firepower ….. really, they don’t show any weaknesses at this point. Mortal Lock. Angela Merkel told the players if they lose, all of them will have to lick her pussy … after Obongo boinks her. This is a huge incentive to never lose, and that’s why I’m picking them to win it all. (Yes, I know they’re playing Brazil in Brazil.)
PORTUGAL — Just because Portugal’s national symbol is a chicken, doesn’t mean they will choke the chicken. Why? One name …. Cristiano Ronaldo …. pretty much unanimously considered the best player in the world. And the rest of the team ain’t to shabby either.
USA — this may be one of the best National Teams in a long while … young, fast, skilled, and with a World Class goalkeeper, Tim Howard . BUT, we got really FUCKED over by being placed in this group … thanks to FIFA’s totally corrupt and bullshit ranking system. If they get out of group play, I will call USA’s coach, Jurgen Klinsmann, — the great former German national player — and offer to lick his balls.
GHANA — there is no team in this year’s WC that I HATE/LOATHE/DESPISE more than Ghana … the team that knocked us out of the past two World Cups …. the last time by a last second goal in overtime. I hope half the team takes a dip in the Amazon and piranhas chew off their dicks, and the other half drinks the water and they get the shits … while playing. Not very sportsmanlike, I know. Don’t give a shit. G.E.S.
Group H
Belgium ………. 12 ….. -175
Russia ………… 15 ……. 200
South Korea … 37 ……. 750
Algeria .………..69 ……. 2800
BELGIUM —- what’s the FIRST thing you think of when Belgium is mentioned? I guarantee it’s either 1) legal drugs, 2) legal pay-for-pussy, or 3) waffles. They also have a powerful soccer team with a reputation as Giant Killers having beaten eventual World Cup winners; West Germany in 1954, Brazil in 1963, Argentina in 1982, and France in 2002. Betting against them, especially in group play, is just plain silly.
RUSSIA — Top Secret insider info what you need to know; Putin will be playing as a striker. A Mortal Lock for 2nd place. Did you know the land mass of Russia is equal to that of Pluto? Also, Russia is colder.
SOUTH KOREA — I mean, why allow Asian teams to play in the WC? It’s not like they EVER won the WC …. or EVER will. Nevertheless, I love our new Hyundai. Too bad they can’t play a similar quality of fussball. Goddamn, I love S. Korea’s president!!!! In response to criticism that the government botched rescue efforts during a ferry disaster that left more than 300 dead or missing, president Park Geun-hye announced plans to DISBAND THE COAST GUARD. Taking the bull by the horns and not ducking out?? That’s so … so …. soooo Un-Obama-ish!!!
ALGERIA — Fuckin’ Mooslims. WTF? Algeria’s national team name is the Fennec Foxes. Below is a Fennec Fox. Cuter than cute. But, using a Woman’s Method Of Choosing Teams — team colors and/or the mascot — I ask you; “Is this a mascot that could win at …. anything??” Those ears. Yikes! It looks like an animal created by the NSA. Not the worst team in the field, but absolutely zero chance of advancing.
==============================================
==============================================
It seems, from what I’ve read, that some (many?) Brazilians are pretty pissed off at the COST of these games, much of it (as usual) falling on those with the least amount of money. Still … Brazil is one country I’d love to see before I croak. It looks like such a beautiful and diverse country. Breathtaking, in many cases. Check it out …

And for you guys, except bb, they say Brazilian women are amongst the world’s most beautiful. I see no reason to dispute that.

an excellent futbol party degenerates into an argument over who licks pussy. time to go home.
Stucky,
Rip you a new one? Nah, it’s not like I have picked all the games correctly either.
However, since you believe in the nonsense “that national soccer teams reflect their countries’ characteristics” I would have thought you would know better than picking a team with a Swiss Cheese defense

I conclude that color pictures change the complexion of the team.
Your Daily Update —— for the Stuck & Leo Show. (harry grew tired, AWD is boinking or rubbing, and Coyote went home to play with his ding-a-ling).
Swiss cheese defense. Funny. Two of the French goals were off-sides, two were fouls, and the other was pure luck. The Swiss got screwed. No way in hell can Swiss remain neutral in WWIII.
Argentina vs Iran —— Even Zara doesn’t give a fuck. Argentina in a rout. Iranian players go home to fight Iraq, and win.
Nigeria vs Bosnia —— Argentina wins this group hands down. The winner of this game will probably get second place. I hope Bosnia wins 9-0. Nigerians scamming Americans is almost a One Billion dollar “industry”. They even have a song “I go chop your dollar”, been on the Top 40 Billboard charts for 174 consecutive weeks. A morally bereft country which God will chop down shortly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kJOuvEcarNs
Germany vs Ghana —— If Ghana wins it will be a 3-way tie (USA, Germany, Ghana all with 3 points). It helps the USA, so I should cheer for Ghana. But, I won’t. Fuck Ghana …. a loss and they’re a-gonna, outta the WC …. then they can shots for their gonna-rhea.
Argentina – Iran looking forward to this as much as reading Flash’s next c&p. Agree with Stucky should be an easy win for Argentina. You can get 25:1 on Iran.
Nigeria – Bosnia The most interesting game of the day. Bosnia should take it. I am looking for a strong performance from the Bosnian stars Itsabic, Shezawic and Watasnic.
Germany – Ghana Germany should win it. If Germany loses then Stucky’s favorite team France will be Europe’s best hope. You can get 10:1 betting on Ghana.
If The Krauts flop, imho the Netherlands are Europe’s best hope.
stucky,
i didn’t get tired of it at all, our new ISP at work blocks TBP so my posting is very limited during the day (typically from my phone while dropping an obama in the toilet).
funny sidenote, I can go to Midway USA (firearms, ammo etc), AR15.com etc (that were blocked before) but TBP is blocked, very frustrating…
it shoudl be interesting in our office friday at noon. i work for a german company with an office in PA, the president of the division is visiting from the Hannover office in Germany next week. germany is playing the us at noon and one of the items on teh itinerary is to “talk trash” from 11:30-12 and then from 12-2 the large conf room with projector will be showing the game.
” …. one of the items on the itinerary is to “talk trash” ——— harry p.
DON’T DO IT!!! Germans have NO humor when it comes to trash-talking their team. IT’S A TRAP! They will demote you to Apprentice Cabbage Shredder in their Schweindreck office.
But, if you have real balls, here’s some possible suggestions for you;
Q: What do you call a German player in a World Cup Finals match?
A: A spectator.
Q: What does a German fan do when his team has won the World Cup?
A: He turns off the PlayStation.
One morning, the seven dwarfs went to work in the mine. When Snow White went to the mine to deliver their lunches, she found there had been a cave-in, and there was no sign of the dwarfs. Tearfully, Snow White shouts down the mine shaft, “Hello! Is anyone there? Can you hear me Sneezy, Sleepy, Grumpy, Dopey, Doc, Happy and Bashful?” A voice floats up from the bowels of the mine …. “Germany will win the 2014 World Cup.”. “Thank goodness,” says Snow White, “at least Dopey’s still alive!”
A man arrives at the Pearly Gates and St. Peter asks him if he’s done any good. The man says no. So St. Peter asks the man to give an account of his bravery. The man says, “I was refereeing a match in Brazil between Germany and USA. The score was 0-0 and there was only one more minute of play when I awarded a penalty for the USA”, “Yes,” responds St. Peter, “That was a real act of bravery. Can you tell me when this took place?”. “Certainly,” the man replies. “About three minutes ago.”
Hours after the end of the world, a border dispute emerges between heaven and hell. The devil proposes to God a soccer game between heaven and earth. God says, “The game would be so one-sided. Don’t you know all the good players go to heaven?” The devil, smiling, responds, “Yeah, but we’ve got all the refs.”
Lastly, tell him THIS is the best aspect of German soccer;

Messi 1 Zara 0
Iran played tough. It was a blowout only in the statistical sense.
A couple pretty funny jokes …….. very nice tits ….. no comments, no thumbs up ……… y’all can go fuck yourselves. I’m done. Keeping this post alive is akin to masturbation. And, I already got that covered.
Either Iran is better than we thought, or Argentina is worse.
Allah — bless his holy name, peace be upon him, or whatthefuckever — was watching over Iran today. Unfortunately, Iran needed Ahura Fuckin Mazda.
C’ya.
Hmm, your pic reminds me of the strip joints in Austin, lovely blonde German women.
A lot of brunettes in Chicago.
crew chief mentioned the German scientists working on the SOFIA science platform would bark out orders and had no sense of humor, zero, zip.
nice 2 foot hat, she blocking everyone’s view. i am jonesing a kraut dog. anybody want anything from der weiner?
stucky,
very good advise, i might make a few comments but they might still be hurting because they tied ghana (and almost lost),
that last joke sounds like a nike commercial from a while back.
the president will actually be here, he’s a good guy and liked my insight in the energy market and geopolitics knowledge for a “young” guy when i was at a dinner with him about a year ago. Much of what I have learned in that regard came while reading articles and comments here on TBP. I am likely safe, i am respectful but i also don’t act like a whipped puppy when I am around them like so many other and they actually respect that. if they banish me to some cabbage shredder position they will have a tough time selling their one product line without my expertise (hahaha).
The chick on the left is muy caliente, but she could lose a few pounds or 20.
Your Daily Update ——
Oh, wait …. look it up your damn self on espn, or whatever.
daily update,
harry p’s description of the US moving on via Win, Draw, Draw is looking more and more like a possibility. we’ll know more around 7:45pm.
also Klinnsman balls are getting closer and closer to stucky… (hahahaha)
What’s the matter Stucky? Are you on the rag or what ?
Belgium – Russia
Belgium have a great team. A little young and inexperienced or I would have picked them to go all the way. They may have the best goalkeeper in the tournament. Belgium will win it.
South Korea – Algeria
The loser is out of the tournament. The toughest game of the 3 to pick. S Korea to win
USA – Portugal
If USA wins, they go through for sure. If Portugal wins, it will make it very interesting with all the possibilities of what could happen on the last day. Stucky who watches too many John Wayne movies believes that USA’s “never say die” attitude will get them through. Portugal is finished if they don’t win, I think they will.
Korea got run over. Damn. Algerians very physical and serious.
looks like CR7 is playing, could work against portugal if he doesn’t team play like the algerians do.
Michael Bradley, YOU BALD-HEADED COCK-SUCKING MAGGOT FUCK SHIT!
IF YOU HAD ANY FUCKING HONOR YOU WOULD QUIT THE TEAM ….. TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! …… AND FLY YOUR BALDFUK DUMBSHIT COCKSUCKING WORTHLESS DICKLESS TOOTHLESS HILLBILLY ASS BACK TO WHERE EVER THE FUCK YOU CRAWLED OUT FROM.
In the first half the bald headed cockfuck misses a goal from FOUR FUCKING FEET away … and with the goalie OUT OF THE NET cuz this supid mutherfucking cuntface kicks it RIGHT INTO a Portuguesfuk player!!!!!!! FUCK YOU BRADLEY YOU CUNTFUK DOUCHEBAG,
Then in the 2nd half stoppage time …. WITH !) FUCKING SECONDS TO GO …….. this blad headed mental retard cockfuck decides he can dribble in midfield right BETWEEN TWO FUCKING Portuguesefuk monkeys. A couple passes later with time virtually run out the Portuguesefuk scores to tie the game, If the COCKFUK BRADLEY had half a fucking retarded amoeba brain all he had to fucking do is 1) kick the goddamn ball all the way down the field , 2) kick the goddamn ball all the way back to his goalie. Game over.
FUCK YOU BRADLEY. GO HOME!! GO BLOW A DISEASED BRAZILIAN FAGGOTFUK, CONTRACT A BRAINROT EATING DISEASE, AND JUST FUCKING DIE BEFORE THE NEXTGAME YOU FUCKING RETARD PIECE OF RATSHIT.
If you see this rat shit fuckdik in your town, RUN HIM OVER!!!

By the way, that was my fucking Daily Update for all you dickfuks who won’t read it anyway.
If the USA beats OR ties Germany, we advance.
We we lose to Germany (highly fucking likely) then it will be a 3-wy tie for second. Goal differential will be the tiebreaker. At this point were +1, Ghana is -1, and Portugal is -4. If Portugal beats Ghana, we’re almost certainly in unless they won by 5 goals. So … go Portuguesefuk monkeys!!
Until Thursday, thanks to that BALDHEADED DICKFUK COCKSUCKER Michael Bradley, I will be perpetually pissed off and angry so don’t fuck with me or expect any further fucking updates which you fucking curs don’t give a flying fuck about anyways …. you unpatriotic cockfuks.
And just in case you’re wondering where my loyalties will be on Thursday …… I HOPE WE STOMP THE FUCKING KRAUTS INTO THE GROUND and shove that smug Aryan superiority horseshit RIGHT UP THEIR GOOSE-STEP BUTT-FUCKED ASSES.
Now just leave me the fuck alone.
From the Yahoo! play by play
35′ Shot from Ronaldo from distance. Straight into the arms of Tim Howard
42′ Nani fouled and this is a great chance for Ronaldo from the free kick… But he blasts it well over the bar.
44′ Brilliant save from Howard! He deflects Nani’s shot against the post and Eder looks to have tapped the rebound over him but for Howard’s fingertips.
47′ Shot from Ronaldo but he mistimes it and it’s easily cut out.
48′ Dangerous cross from Nani rebounds off Beasley to Eder and he fires just over the bar.
50′ Surge of pace from Ronaldo and he goes down on the edge of the box after a challenge from Jones. Nothing given apart from a goal kick.
51′ Another shot from Eder goes wide of the post. He’s been lively tonight.
54′ An uncharacteristic poor touch on the edge of the box from Ronaldo and US are able to break.
59′ Portugal break through Ronaldo and Eder but it’s a great covering tackle from Besler.
61′ Portugal break through Ronaldo and he bares down on goal. It’s a narrow angle but he shanks it well wide.
65′ Good save Howard! He first punches clear Nani’s cross then is on hand to save from Meireles.
67′ Dangerous ball in from Nani finds Meireles on the back post but Ronaldo is offside.
73′ Nani goes tumbling in the box, looking for a penalty under a challenge from Zusi. Referee having none of it. Now Costa goes down under a Dempsey challenge.
80′ Shot from Nani on the edge of the box flies over the bar. Decent strike.
88′ Cross from Moutinho meant for Alves and Howard forced to concede a corner.
89′ Header from Ronaldo drops harmlessly wide from Moutinho’s cross.
90′ Alves stretching at the far post but it’s out for a goal kick.
90+3′ Cross comes into Ronaldo and it skims wide off his head and well wide. Just not his tournament.
Nice rant Stucky. Is being a poor loser an American trait as well? I could never do a rant as well as you just did so I will just say that Ronaldo totally sucked. Portugal had numerous chances that they blew as well. As a neutral, I thought it was a great game with a fair result. USA will most likely advance, if they don’t I will be looking forward to your next rant.
Stuck – you are gonna give yourself a nosebleed.
Soccer is too rigged to give this much of a fuck about. Next to gymnastics, ice skating, and all other “judged” sports, soccer is the worst.
Even if the US advances, if it meets Brazil, the fix will be in. Etc. This thing is rigged, I tell you.
So just calm down, and realize it is the equivalent to Pro Wrestling.
Salvy experts at the bar say Germany or Netherlands. I’m still interested to see how this plays out.
Go Mexico. (I can’t watch but I’ll follow the play by play nupdates online.)
Meanwhile, I will dedicate we promised not to cry to me.
Today is the last games of the Group stage for Groups A + B.
Group B plays first and is the least interesting.
Netherlands plays Chile — a draw or win gets Netherlands #1, a win for Chile makes them #1. The advantage of finishing first supposedly gets you an easier game in the first round of the eliminations.
Both teams have been playing great. It should be a very close game and hopefully not decided by a referee’s decision. If I had to choose I would take Chile only because they are from South America which seems to be an advantage.
Australia plays Spain. The game means nothing. Spain has a lot of highly paid world class players and would be expected to win. However, so far they have looked like over the hill has-beens. I am going with the long shot Australia because they seem to care more.
Group A.
Brazil (4 pts) plays Cameroon (0) and Mexico (4) plays Croatia (3).
Cameroon is out of it. Brazil and Mexico advance with a win or draw in their games. Croatia advances with a win. Brazil shouldn’t have a problem winning their game. Croatia and Mexico are evenly matched, I am guessing Mexico will advance with a win or draw.
Leobeer
I disagree with almost all your picks, and not just because I’m an asshole.
Netherlands over Chile. Both are playing well …. Netherlands are playing better.
Spain over Prison Island. Spain does NOT want to go into the record books as the only defending WC Champion to go out with no wins. This game DOES mean something to them. GDP has gone down 10% in Spain during these games …. or, roughly twenty five bucks.
Yes, Brazil will crush the Macaroons. You really went out on a limb there.
Croatia over Mexico. I do not like the taco munchers or their fans. Imagine if we do get eliminated and the Taco’s advance? Life in America will be almost unbearable.
My nose doesn’t bleed. However, I threw one of my house slippers real hard against the wall when that cockfuk dickfuk Bradley fucked up, and then the other one also when the Portuguesfuk scored … and today I gotta go to Home Depot and get some touch-up paint.
That’s my last fuckin update until Thursday. And I mean it this time!!
“This thing is rigged, I tell you.” ——– llpoh
“Everything was done for the big favorites to go and move on. We’re going to do it the tough way.” ———- Jurgen Klinsmann (USA Coach) yesterday after the game
Conspiracy theories are running wild on the internet today. This comment is NOT atypical —- “for now anyway as rumors are swirling over a secret deal between the USA and Thursday’s opponent Germany to play to a tie allowing both teams to advance.”
I actually think that has some merit.
It only has merit if the game finishes in a tie.
2014 FIFA World Cup: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
By Michael Roberts
I’ve never seen such artful and skillful diving in a FIFA World Cup soccer tournament. Hell, diving is the new fad in world cup soccer. And everybody is doing it. Histrionics, grimacing at the slightest touch, and a lack luster performance by the world’s soccer powerhouse nations has made Brazil 2014 World Cup a kind of bummer — so far. A real let down. At least in the opening rounds of the tournament.
Germany, England and Spain have all put in less than stellar performances. England and Spain are now out in the first round — for the first time since the FIFA World Cup started. Thrown out by teams that hitherto have been called “B” teams. The “A” teams are performing just like FIFA full of surprises, erratic and amateurish.
Then there are the showboating referees and their own attempts to not only control the game — that’s their jobs — but also quite literally blow their whistles for each and every little infraction and buying into the field drama of expert divers of the game. I’m no qualified referee but there were some calls that drew boos from the crowds because of their very suspicious nature that really defied any sane reasoning.
Speaking about FIFA there are calls from many quarters for disbanding the organization. The argument goes that the modern World Cup is now a competition that is, essentially, forged in corruption, which is why it goes to countries that are essentially corrupt. Countries that will over-ride their tax system, their money-laundering laws, countries where a free press is a figment. Of course, there is merit in the torrents of criticism leveled against FIFA and the way that it continues to do business.
The decision by FIFA to award the 2022 World Cup to Qatar is one of those lunatic decisions. It would be a monumental joke if this were not serious business. Fans and players alike are complaining about the heat and humidity in Brazil during this present World Cup. So imagine, if you could playing, in temperatures that can reach 125 degrees in the shade.
Maybe it’s the blatant duplicity of FIFA’s executive committee members that has stoked the ire of the organization’s critics. So now, if you read between the lines, the inescapable conclusions is that FIFA is populated by chisellers, liars and, quite possibly, crooks.
The first step before the calls to disband FIFA reaches a crescendo is to get rid of its technical committee. That’s the committee that is supposed to study the conditions of bidding nations and make recommendations as to the best locations to hold the fabled “beautiful game” every four years.
Amid lavish pomp and ceremonies FIFA’s technical committee is feted, wined and dined by countries eager to host a World Cup tournament. So they whizz around the world, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous, showing up at lavish receptions and meetings. The end result? We got Qatar in 2022 one of the most problematic technical bids in world cup history.
A very poor infrastructure, fabulous expense, potentially fatal heat, crazy overcrowding and other challenges make the choice of Qatar a really bad one. There are no good reasons or rational explanations for the decision. Its just plain stupid.
Qatar can air-condition its stadiums as much as it likes. Money will be no problem – the country is flush with oil money. And it can chill them like a cool box for a summer picnic by the sea. All of that will not matter. For the moment spectators step outside that artificial atmosphere, the sun will be beating down on them at an average daily temperature of 106 degrees. There is so much that is wrong about Qatari success it is hard to know where to start.
The illogic and idiocy of FIFA and its quixotic decision is evident by the fact that Australia, the country that hosted perhaps the greatest Olympics ever, in Sydney in 2000; a country that is defined by its love for sport and its prowess against all odds. This is the country that was passed over by FIFA so that the World Cup 2022 can be played in a country with a population of 1.7million that has never qualified for the tournament – ever. Qatar played FIFA’s duplicitous game very, very well; that horrible, schmoozing, lobbying, crawling, venal game.
So for all of the above many, many feel that FIFA should be disbanded and as a first step its Technical Committee as presently constituted must go.
But back to the present dive, er, World Cup 2014 Soccer tournament in Brazil. FIFA’s referees obviously need a refresher course. Few World Cups has seen so many mistakes, bad calls, and cockamamie decisions as Brazil 2014. Maybe it’s the heat or the beautiful senoritas. I don’t know. Or maybe it’s the beers.
For now the diving will go on. That and the sign of the cross and pointing to the sky when a player scores a goal.
Good games today! Chile vs Netherlands and Mexico vs Croatia. Again another myopic ref. Two clear hand balls and he didn’t call either. I’m gonna put on my world cup tinfoil hat….
Tuesday’s picks
Group D Italy (3 pts) v Uruguay (3) , Costa Rica (6) v England (0)
Costa Rica are through to the next round and will win the group as long as they don’t get blown out by England. I don’t think England are as bad as they have looked and will win it but only by a goal.
Italy and Uruguay are evenly matched and my choice for game of the day. Italy only needs a draw to advance, Uruguay must win to advance. I will go with Uruguay to win assuming that Luis Suarez is starting.
Group C Cote d’Ivoire (3 pts) v Greece (1) , Japan (1) v Colombia (6)
Colombia is almost certain to finish first in the group even if they were to lose. They won’t lose. In the unlikely event that Japan wins they would advance only if Cote d’Ivoire loses.
Greece can advance with a win as long as Japan loses. Cote d’Ivoire will likely find that a draw will be good enough to advance. Noting that Greece has yet to score a goal I am going with the Africans to win it.
I know the Spanish alphabet has an “i” in it, and it even looks just link an English “i”
So, if Mexicans are so damn smart, how come they can’t say ‘sister’ instead of seester.
Or, any other English word with ‘i” in it, errr, eet.
Jeeebus, after leesteneeng to a World Cup game with those Spanish-speeeking announcers, I feeel like I neeed to reelearn Engleesh.
and you speak perfect Spanish, right Stuck?
Mexeeeco’s next game won’t be against Croats or Cameroons, it’ll be the Netherlands. The Mexeeecan fans will be in for a rude awakening.
Leobeer didn’t do so well with yesterday’s picks … I give him an A+ for continuing to try. Maybe when the WC is over he can get a job with BLS.
My own Daily Analysis ………. go watch paint dry. Today’s games ain’t worth shit. None of those teams, even the ones who advance, have a realistic chance of even getting to the semifinals.
Leo.
Yup.
Blow me.
That’s the third time Uruguay’s Luis Suarez has bitten someone in a match. I don’t think he will get off lightly.

I think someone needs to pull a Zinedine Zidane on Michael Bradley
Dang! What kind of WC is this without Dagos, Spics, or Wankers?
A DAMN GOOD one!
Un-fucking-believable. Greece advances ….. with JUST TWO GOALS in THREE games … that’s GOT to be some kind of record. Luckier bastards on this planet do not exist.
Good News: America’s Striker, Jose Altidore, will be available if USA advances. That’s very very good news.
TODAY’S GAMES
Group F finals games. Current standing.
Argentina —— 6 points
Nigeria ———-4
Iran —————1
Bosnia ———-0
Argentina vs Nigeria;
—- Argentina is in no matter what … they are playing to win the group.
—- Seeing how Costa Rica and Greece advanced, ANYTHING is possible. But, I don’t see the Nigerian Scamfuks winning this,
Iran vs Bosnia
—- Bosnia is out, no matter what
—- THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING ….. If Iran wins they are IN (assuming Argentina beats Nigeria). Zara will be forced to take anti-erection pills. It won’t work. Zara will have a 10 day erection, and make it into the Guinness Book of Records.
.
Group E finals games. Current standing.
France ———— 6
Ecuador ———- 3
Swiss ————- 3
Honduras ——– 0
France vs Ecuador
—— France is in, no matter what. They win the group even if they lose, and the Swiss win, because they have a large goal differential.
—– Ecuador is playing for their lives. It’s a weird group. If Ecuador wins, and the Swiss beat Honduras, it will be a 3-way tie with 6 points. In that scenario, the Swiss probably lose out on goal differential (unless they score 3 more goals than Ecuador). France is actually playing great. Ecuador will be going home.
Swiss vs Honduras
—– Swiss are also playing for their lives. If they lose, and France wins, it will be a 3-way tie for 2nd place with 3 points!! Honduras ain’t that good … having scored just 1 goal so far, with 5 against.
BOTTOM LINE for this group? France and Swiss advance.
I hope this isn’t my American bias showing ….. but, the National Anthem’s of most countries are positively putrid.
Watching, the Nigerian fans …. positively putrid … I hope Argentina relentlessly crushes their cheating nuts
Ghana Sends Plane Full Of Dollars To Brazil As ‘Black Stars’ Demand “Physical Cash”
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 06/25/2014 13:04 -0400
Ahead of tomorrow’s make-or-break FIFA World Cup game against Portugal, the Ghana “Black Stars” are not happy. Amid controversy over match-fixing, the players have demanded that the World Cup appearance fees they are owed be paid; and as Bloomberg reports, “The players insisted that they will want physical cash.” The Ghanaian government has chartered a plane and the dollars are on their way to Brazil. Perhaps the players want to invest it in the latest grand idea – Ghana’s first hedge fund has just been launched (prepare for more emails).
As Bloomberg reports,
Ghana has sent a plane carrying more than $3 million in cash to Brazil to pay the World Cup appearance fees owed to the national soccer team, known as the Black Stars.
“The players insisted that they will want physical cash,” Deputy Sports Minister Joseph Yammin said in comments broadcast by Accra-based Citi FM. “Government had to mobilize the money and a chartered flight to Brazil. The money is in excess of $3 million.”
…
“President Mahama waded into the matter after agitation from the Black Stars players,” the association said. “President Mahama personally spoke to the players to assure them the money will be paid by Wednesday afternoon.”
…
“At the drop of a hat, to bring in $3 million in cash, it might get you into a spot of bother,” he said. “I don’t think the Brazilians will confiscate it but they just may not allow it to be released.”
And this comes after controversy over match fixing allegations…
The Ghanaian team has been dealing with issues off the field all week, as the football association asked police to investigate claims reported by the London-based Daily Telegraph that the association’s president had agreed to fix future international exhibition matches.
The GFA has denied the report and says that the two men mentioned in the story never made offers to bribe them or association President Kwesi Nyantakyi.
But perhaps more interesting (as an example of wealth creation and exuberance)…
Tikowrie Capital Ltd., a Ghanaian money manager started by a former regulator, plans to establish the West African country’s first hedge fund.
“The appetite of investors in the country has grown over the years,” Tikowrie Executive Director Maxwell Gidi said by phone from Accra yesterday. “They’re looking for more sophisticated avenues of investment.”
Gidi, 37, said he quit his job as assistant manager of the broker-dealer department at Ghana’s Securities and Exchange Commission, where he worked for seven years, to start Tikowrie six months ago.
…
The hedge fund will trade in U.S., Canadian and Australian dollars as well as the euro, British pound and yen, Gidi said. It will also buy and sell gold, copper and palladium and trade in sovereign debt through London-based CFH Clearing Ltd., its prime broker.
Funding? we suspect more spam emails will hit the US soon…
If i dare to dream big it would be Neth 3 – 2 Mex. I need to do some acid and 20 of Zara’s magic mushrooms to project anything better than that outlandish final.
Gral. Santa Anna commissioned the writing of the National Hymn of the republic. Debuted 16 SEP 1854 in the Santa Anna theater. This video shows the first 10 original stanzas. If it were written today, it would have accordions. As it was, the Spanish influence was still extant.
Daily Update
USA vs Germany ………. That’s all you need to know.
We CAN beat them. You are UN-American if you don’t watch it (or, record it for later watching).
I’ll be leaving in a few minutes to go to my parents …. a full day of yard work … cutting grass, lots of trimming, lots and lots of weeding ….. then I’ll come in when the game starts, dirty and sweaty … mom wil bitch and moan about that ……. dad will give me a beer and tell her to shaddup already ….. a fine and normal day, as usual. THen I will celebrate the USA and Germany both advancing. A truly glorious day!!!

We are ALL good ‘Muricans today.

Team USA aka Team Ringer with 5 players that weren’t born in the USA may miss out on advancement.
If Ghana and Germany both win and one of them win by more than 1 goal the USA is out.
BTW Stucky, I am NON-American. I hope for your sake your team gets through as I wouldn’t want you to have to make another trip to Home Depot for more touch up paint.
and teh US is through with the belgians waiting
i actually sat next to the president of our company (he is visiting our facility this week) he’s from germany, he bashed their coach pretty heavily and really dislike goetze.
both teams played so as not to lose.
i do like the us chances against belgium, they are a beatable team.
hey Stuck,
You call that coach yet about some ball licking?
