FIFA World Cup Football 2014 Official Thread

If Lahm doesnt play rb in our next game im going to be pissed. Why the hell did the Pep have to change his position and Loew be dumb enough to do the same thing? We play so much better with him at rb and our midfield is more, MORE than good enough to cover him. Anyway, despite Algeria scaring me I still think we should win considering Spain and Italy are out. Brazil nor Argentina look like a team capable of winning. Wouldnt mind an upset from Costa Rica tho. @Thunderbolt why do you want a south american team to win so much? A european team will eventually win a WC in south american soil.

You make it sound like lahm is horrible in midfield which is far from reality he is a versatile player and can play in midfield though not as well as in his rightback position which got him critical acclaim but i think he is still useful in midfield. Why do i want a south american team? Well seeings as the last two editions of the world-cup have been won by Europeans teams i think is time the cup goes to another continent. European team eventually winning on south american soil? True but the same could be said about the south american sides too.

Lahm can play in midfield for Bayern I'm not bothered. He's great in midfield but our defense is weak. I don't see the point of playing him in midfield when the squad has a number of quality midfielders that can cover for him. Playing Lahm at rb or lb makes the team stronger. And for your South American point it's fair enough. But for me the fact no one has one a WC in South American soil makes me want it to happen more.

Lahm is shit in midfield, Only Barca fan and Pep fans think otherwise, you see what Madrid did to Bayern when Lahm play in Midfield and Also Algeria and Ghana screwed Germany when lahm play out of his position.

Hes not shit in midfield hes just much better as a fullback. I dont care where he plays for bayern but for Germany he must play at rb or lb. Against Madrid it was stupid to play him in midfield. Hes just not playing well for Germany in that position. Mustafi is injured now so I think he will most likely play rb. Now that Italy is out im taking it your supporting Germany ??

Compared to what he did when playing Fullbacks IMO he's shit at midfield, in fullback he can support both the attack and defense while in midfield he's an eyesore especially against France he's up against Pogba and Matuidi LOL imagine that,

its breaks my hearts when the lowlifes Uruguay robbed my glorious Italy, and because of that i don't want any south american jokers to win this WC especially Brazil and Argentina, the latter especially is mediocre and don't worth the hype,

And also this is Germany best chance to win WC both their nemesis Italy and Spain is out, for them is now or never....

This guy above is meh. You have to look at the history of the national teams.

Aren't you the mofo who said Cr7 is to blame for everything that happen for Portugal ?
uh and also said Goku > All, dude you need a psychiatrist,

am not going to waste my time for such an obvious troll

You're the troll. Judging on the performances with Messi and Neymar with Argentina and Brazil he is partly to blame.

Goku is also the strongest anime protagonist so you're wrong on both parts.

Wow this guy above managed to make two points which are completely wrong. What history? Uruguay won the first world cup so what? Italy should have won that match, Suarez deserved to get banned. I also thought the red card was harsh and im not an Italy fan I wanted them to get out since they always managed to beat us. Comparing Brazil or Argentina to Portugal is laughable.

Wrong. Urugauy won the world cup twice. Italy have won the world cup 4 times so it would be likely that they should of won. However, Urugauy winning the first world cup would balance this match up. So a Urugauy v Italy game can go either way and it went Urugauy's way when they beat them. This is why Urugauy is a very special team. Also, Urugauy can play crap and still win games. In my opinon Suarez shouldn't of got banned because his exit cost Urugauy the world cup.

How is comparing Brazil or Argentina to Portugal is laughable? I know Portugal have never won the world cup but they have had good enough teams in the past that can rival Brazil and Argentina and even pull off a victory. Brazil and Argentina have a star player like Portugal.

History doesnt mean anything. Its nice and a good achievement but it has no effect on current matches. I cant remember Uruguay playing in a WC before 2010. Lol Suarez should have been banned because hes a moron doing the same thing the third time. Uruguay had my sympathy until they decided to condone his actions. Argentina is much better than Portugal as a whole as is Brazil. The only time Portugal had a good team was in Eusebios era and a couple of world cups ago when they had Figo Ronaldo Deco etc.

Wrong. History does mean something because teams/players try and emulate past national teams. For example, Urugauy invented tactical foul and they still play rough in their tackles today. Neymar emulates Ronaldo of Brazil's style of play. I can go on and on.
That's what i mean, Portugal has good teams that can rival Brazil and Argentina.

Lol I give up. Im not responding after this. Portugal could only compete with Brazil and Argentina twice. Read what I said properly. The fact that Uruguay won the world cup the first two times had no effect on their performance against Italy. By that logic Uruguay should never ever have lost to Colombia. Anyway back then the whole world cup was organised in a different way. Hungary were a force in the 1950s. That clearly doesnt mean a lot now does it ?

As the user above me said, history means jack shit in football, or even sports itself. Not to mention, last time Uruguay won was nearly over half a century ago. Back then, there was hardly any TV's, and even if there were, you could hardly track any of the players movements. Trying to mimic their movements would be impossible, and the theory of that is ludicrous.

Why would Neymar emulate Ronaldo for? They play at completely different positions at the pitch - Neymar is a forward, winger whereas Ronaldo was always a striker. Neymar is more focused on passing, tactical playing and shoots on long range, while Ronaldo was a genius in the box. Ronaldinho would be a much better example, and Neymar has even used his tactics/skills in pitch. He's even admitted that he has been greatly influenced by Ronaldinho.​

Germany vs France next.
I really hope Loew leaves his stubbornness and lets Lahm play as full back, he can really help in defense and strengthen their offence in wings and Schweinsteiger, Schurrle, Ozil, Khedira and Gotze are enough as midfielders.

Germany looked unimpressive in the match against Algeria and every time Neuer ran out of the box to sweep the ball it looked ugly, in the end they won but this is france who are in full form. Moreover it showed that Lahm as RB was needed.

I don't want Germany leaving early due to Pep Guardiola's expired strategies. I sincerely hope that Loew sees the error in these strategies and ditch them.
Hoping for Germany to win.

Match between Brazil and Colombia is too unpredictable, but if Colombia is in full form, then imho they take this.

france and brazil to go out today
