Costa Rica v Greece (Knockout Group) Sunday 29th June 2014

[Lord Camomile]

Neither is Greece as a nation state actually playing. What's happening is some citizens of Greece - some Greeks - are acting as representatives of that country.

Yes! Boom! Stick that in your pedantic face!

(I'm genuinely a little ashamed I didn't think of that )

 

[Badgers]

Only just switching on for second half. Have I missed much?

A gripping ding dong on pedantry.

Not much else.

 

[Onket]

This thread is the best thing about this game.

 

[Silva]

that was a very literal pass to goal

 

[editor]

At last. A goal!

 

[starfish]

Lovely finish.

 

[J Ed]

Boring game

Wrong team is ahead

 

[ruffneck23]

Yaywwwwwwwwn

¡Vamos los Ticos!

That was strange, it looked like it wasnt struck very hard, plenty of time for the keeper to get to it - instead the keeper just stood there - or so it seemed anyway

 

[editor]

Almost a goal-ette.

 

[magneze]

Good Costa Rica team talk at half time!

Keeper's weight was all on the wrong foot, he'd set himself to go to his right. Clever finish, good player is Bryan Ruiz.

 

[Onket]

Looked like he mis-kicked it.

 

[juice_terry]

Soft goal

 

[mhendo]

The Greek players turned into Greek statues as the ball went past.

absolutely right, jsut saw the replay, at the moment he makes contact it looks like it was going to go the other way...whether he meant it or not thats what happened

 

[marty21]

phew - glad i cashed out on my Costa Rica win on my accumulator down to 10

 

[Lord Camomile]

Jesus, he just looked gutted. Often they're angry, or disbelieving or... something. He just looked empty

 

[mhendo]

For a moment there, Costa Rica had one player off, and three rolling around on the ground. It's a massacre!

 

[purves grundy]

6 mins... can't see a Greek response coming. Nothing like The Symposium.

Costa Rica are clinging on a bit. A ball into the mixer, ping pong's around...


Just like that!!

 

[inva]

wow they did it

 

[weepiper]

Fucking hell, that was cutting it a bit fine!

 

[belboid]

Damn, another half hour of this.

 

[smmudge]

hmm yeah the problem with retreating all your players like that is that it kind of forces all the play into your half and therefore closer to your goal.....

 

[not-bono-ever]

kin hell

 

[editor]

Who would have thought etc etc.

 

[J Ed]

HAHAHA
