Netherlands v Costa Rica (Quarter Final) Saturday 5th July 2014

[TheHoodedClaw]

Costa Rica have no army??!! Deffo supporting them now

They've got some police units that have a bit more in the way of weapons, but that's about it. They've got an agreement with the US, mind you, if push comes to shove.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Disrupting an attackers rhythm and slowing him down is part of defending. Have you ever played footy?

Oh get te bollocksty fuck. That's the line pedalled by people who can't play football I've put myself in between a player's run and the ball enough times, but there's a difference between holding your line and holding on to the player.

There is an advantage rule in football. It can't be the same as rugby because football is a more natural, less contrived game.

Pish - it's because football is incredibly precious and your average fan/pundit would get confused about the free kick being given 10 seconds after the foul, because they can't connect two thoughts if it's drawn on a fucking whiteboard. Ref: Jonathan Pearce "is it over the line, is it not over the line?!" meltdown.

[grubby local]

[Dr. Furface]

The game's up if Navas has to go off

 

[eatmorecheese]

[friedaweed]

Fuckin peno if ever I saw one

 

[Lord Camomile]

That would have been a soft, soft penalty.

Do we get to call him a diving, cheating cunt now?

 

[friedaweed]

He's like Rocky in the rematch with Creed

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fuckin peno if ever I saw one

 

[friedaweed]

There was a lot more contact than anything that brought Flimsy Robshite down

 

[friedaweed]

It's getting tasty

I hope you plan on returning the piss you've just taken before the evening is out

You're basically a rugby fan aren't you. Contrary to popular belief most football fans aren't stupid and can cope with the subtleties of the game.

 

[grubby local]

fucking ridiculous free kick ... pray thats not decisive

 

[Lord Camomile]

Robben has got some weird Dorian Grey thing going on - looks like a 45 year old but runs like a 25 year old.

 

[friedaweed]

This refs bent

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Not handball at all, please don't be decisive...

ETA Ha, fuck off Robben

 

[grubby local]

go Sloth Kong! smoke the Dutch!

 

[friedaweed]

Does anyone else have a little orgasm inside every time Robben misses

 

[Dr. Furface]

I want pens SO BAD!

Phone home

Nope, dad's the rugby fan.

I was obviously being a bit flippant with the mighty sweeping statement, but there does seem to be a general culture in football of keeping things 'simple' or retaining the staus quo, at times to the detriment of the game.

 

[eatmorecheese]

VIVA LA PATRIA SLOTH

 

[Lord Camomile]

"Robben likes the idea"... of passing to him. Shocking!

 

[grubby local]

at this level, fucking sensational.

 

[friedaweed]

Squeaky bum, squeaky bum

I've got the dutch in my work sweep but I so want the Rica's to do'em on penos

 

[Dandred]

Come on Costa Rica!!!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Argentina can fuck off

 

[grubby local]
