    The only reason I can think for supporting England is that World in Motion is gonna played from time to time.

    The best one I could find was from a betting site.

    Don't worry it's the safest betting site!

    What a shitshow that game was.

    Now I want Belgium or Croatia to advance as far as possible.

    Mexico!

    Man I am worried about Japan. I believe in them. I know they can win and get into the next round. But seriously AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    In other words, this has been a hell of a world cup already.

    They'd both have to reach the semis!

    That'd be something

    The trail of bodies they would leave behind would be ... impressive

    France is my big-boy safe bet, England has the best claim on any remaining ancestry (though France has a claim in this as well, I am nothing if not a mutt), and Mexico is my NA Cinderella hope

    And I'll hold a candle for the Swedes because of friendly forumers :P

  • spool32spool32 Contrary Library Registered User, Transition Team regular
    The Swedes routinely put ketchup on pasta, they have no support from me.

    Did Germany manage to figure out where the net was?

    I'm not sure if Germany were aware, but the guy in yellow standing in front of the net on the SK side has the job of stopping goals. You should not kick the ball directly toward him.

    I'm hearing a lot of Croat support - not feeling the inclination myself, but I can dig it!

    Croatia deserve support because they're consistently good, hard working, they score cool goals and they weren't a favourite before the tournament

    I knew Korea was going to get blasted by GER/SWE/MEX so I'm just hella proud of them for defending admirably against a desperate German attack

    Now a quarter portion of me (the torso) will cheer vaguely for Japan

    I have every team to score 2 or more goals at 100/1

    Miraculously, this is still going because of Morocco scoring against Spain and now Korea scoring in the 91st min against fucking Germany

    Costa Rica v Switzerland is squeaky bum time

  • BeNarwhalBeNarwhal The Work Left Unfinished Registered User regular
    The torso is where the heart is, Eddy

    Are you sure you're ready for that sort of commitment

    It’s not about being better

    It’s about spite

    This does soothe the bitter news from yesterday though

    Brazil needs to actually play

    And then hopefully they qualify, probably second in the group though since Switzerland is going to stomp all over Costa Rica

    Oh yeah, just saw the standings now

    Brazil's fate is in their own hands, which is preferable at least

    Draw or better and they move on!

    Or yeah, if Switzerland lost they'd be safe too, but

    That does seem unlikely >_>
