Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?
Wow. Watching South Korea vs. Germany. I have seen more South Korea players go to the ground in the first 70 minutes than I've seen the entire tournament. It is comical at this point.
Also, they need a win (as they don't know what is happening in the other game) and yet they are playing for a tie.
I've never had a problem with Germany in football, but I have this tingling feeling I get every time something historical happens in sports..!
I think Germany definitely had a good enough team to make it further, but something was missing in the spirit-department.
Most of the best teams get "surprised" by lower tier teams because they have the drive and hunger to succeed, and they really need to fight for every point to even have a chance to make it out of groups.
I think Argentina is an opposite example - they dug deep yesterday to find what they needed to push through out of the groups.
Even after that penalty goal from Nigeria they kept at it..

that image of Germany's failed clearance directly into the nuts of a Korean player in the 88th minute that led to the corner kick goal basically sums up this German performance in a single strike of the ball(s)

I knew it would exist
keep in mind this attempted pass? led to a change of possession that Korea turned into a corner wherein Kroos had a really nice assist for Korea's go ahead goal

Uruguay conceded 1 shot on goal for the entire group stage. Doesn't matter who your opposition is, that level of defense is beyond god-tier. Belgium and Croatia have actually looked good and dynamic while they've played.
It's not even that other teams have played hard teams. Spain had an easy as fuck group (Portugal is bad don't @ me) and squeaked out with 5 points. Argentina has been ass for 3 years, and anyone who thought they were going to win their group hasn't been watching them at all. Brazil have looked meh, barely beating fucking Costa Rica with two very late goals. France barely got by fucking Australia and lost possession vs Peru (tbh they could have easily drawn or lost that game, and Peru is a team that Uruguay is a couple steps above). Germany? lol.
You can't just let brand names coast on being brand names (and let's be real by individual talent Belgium is tier 1 right now and Uruguay and Croatia are tier 1.5 anyways, so it's not that big of a leap that these teams are the best because they actually have cogent gameplans and identities).
Also, yes, Uruguay vs. Egypt could have been 0-0, but Uruguay got that result with a much more dominant defensive performance than any of the other weak results. Uruguay plays "garbage" football as a style.
What Godin and Gimenez are about to do to CR7 tomorrow is going to be very NSFW. They will fucking destroy him, and he has no support from the rest of his team to help out.

I agree except I think Belgium have had equally as good talent previously and not amounted to much. I hope they do well, just don't think they've proven they have solved their previous faults. (Also I don't think Martinez knows how to organize a defense.. ever)
are you thinking of me when you're with somebody else?
