Why isn't there a Star Wars RPG? And wouldn't James Bond make for a pretty good FPS?
I can go one better.

Here is my team of the tournament so far:

G Ochoa (MEX); M Darmian (ITA), R Vlaar (NED), F Rodriguez (MEX), D Blind (NED); L Modric (CRO), A Pirlo (ITA); A Robben (NED), Oscar (BRA), J Campbell (CRC); R van Persie (NED)

no germans?

Ah man I was not here for the Brazil match, but am I an asshole for thinking Neymar was fake as hell when he started crying ?

Wow...
 
Gotta say the fivethrityeight world cup thing has been pretty shitty. It's more reactive than it is predictive.

Spain loses 5-1 "Spain's chances of winning the WC have gone down". No shit.

He's been touted as a big thing for a few years, arsenal u21s right?
He's actually never played for them at any level. Bought and loaned out immediately due to not getting a work permit. He received one last summer but was still loaned out again. Will be interesting to see if he ever plays for Arsenal or not.

Well they need someone to rotate with Giroud, so wenger would be wise to at least give him a chance.

Although Wenger seems to revel in understaffing in quality for certain areas for whatever reasons (gks ever since seaman until sczensy, now with giroud).
 
Group A:
1. Mexico
2. Brazil
3. Croatia
4. Cameroon

Group B:
1. Netherlands
2. Chile
3. Spain
4. Australia

Round of 16:
Mexico vs Chile
Brazil vs Netherlands

Believe.

So... right now Brazil is the leader of group A on the shoulders of crucial mistakes by the referees. And it's not only the penalty against Croacia, but the two badly disallowed goals of Mexico against Cameroon.

If Mexico had those goals (and their 3-0 victory), they would be in a very nice position right now on the group, as leader and problaby able to play for a draw in his last game to keep this position.

Thanks referees.

I really hope Mexico vs Chile happens. It would be an interesting match.

Just watched the second half of the Brazil v Mexico game (for the first time). Big props to the Mexicans. Yeah, their goalie was excellent, but they really pushed play and had some excellent chances. Looks like a completely different team from qualifying.
 
I seriously don't know what to expect tomorrow from Spain.

They a bunch of washed up has beens? Or they overcome adversity and crush the souls of Chileans like they have in years past?

Chile need a stronger overall 90 mins. Defense will need to step up. Confident the team can win if they play to their potential.

Gonna party in the capital once again and watch the game with a few dozen thousand people.

Best result for Mexico tomorrow would be a CAM-CRO tie, but I don't see it as likely, so if Croatia win, man, dat third match is going to be super rough.

Netherlands should have the second game in the bag should they play half as well as they did against Spain. Spain vs Chile is going to be so sick! Can't wait for that one.
 
That should be a fun game. Spain loves to keep the ball and Chile seems to be in constant attack mode.

spain are in a dreadful spot if chile tank australia and beat the dutch. presuming the dutch tank the aussies as well, it puts them both @ 6 points with good goal differences. spain will need to destroy australia and chile to be certain. i can't see where the goals are going to come from
torres pls
