So much for my (and many others) theory that the SA teams would dominate group play. Is Colombia the only one that won convincingly in their first match?

 

At least until Argentina plays.

 

Costa Rica isn't that much further from Fortaleza than Uruguay, so I wouldn't see too much of an advantage for Uruguay in that match.

Wow.

Go Honduras, beat Tottenham

[wvcbxl]

This one could be fun. :D

Andy Najar is gonna give Evra nightmares.

Someone is going to be gifted a penalty or get robbed of a goal by not calling a penalty in this match.

France is getting peak Honduras today. World class grimaces, shrieks and barrel rolls if not skill.

[wvcbxl]

Should have been a red for Pogba

/gets throw-in in the attacking third

 

/throw and two passes back to the keeper

[bukie]

There's the penalty. That plus the red should do it for the competitiveness of the match.

[bukie]

What in the world was honduras's keeper doing?

[bukie]

also, the announcers have to get off of the goal line technology. That they didn't see the goal is the exact reason we have it.

[Guest]

Both linesmen are really animated.

Why does Honduras have 4 stars inside the "H" on their chest?

[wolf stansson]

Bosnia doing a great job overloading the midfield and cutting off the Argentine forwards.

Man, Messi is just ridiculous.

Happy to see it on the International stage.

I can't sleep. Slightly gassy. This is the only team that does this to me anymore.

I took the day off intending to sleep in and later watch the game. I woke up at 5.

 

I cannot wait.

I assume they are they are a carryover from their flag.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Honduras

 

In 1866 it was amended; five cerulean stars were placed in the center to represent the 5 original Central American provinces.

 

The five cerulean five-pointed stars arranged in an X pattern centered in the white band represent the five nations of the former Federal Republic of Central America (El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala) and the hope that the nations may form a union again.

Love that Bradley meme.

 

Wearing my Centennial jersey for the first time, let's do this.

[UMFan83]

So in terms of the early game, in order of preference it's:

 

1) Germany win

2) Draw

3) Portugal win

 

or do I switch 1 and 2?
