Re: World Cup: GO USA!!!
Well, for the record, I'm almost positive it was those 3 who took the 1st 3 kicks vs Costa Rica. Can't recall the order they went in, but it was Robben, Sneijder and van Persie. I remember that because I was so surprised that none of them went 1st against Argentina.
We haven't even gotten into the keeper change debate that worked out so well for Neth in PK's vs Costa Rica. Having no sub allotment left the Dutch coach couldn't change goalies at the end of extra time against Arg and we saw what happened.Last edited by Igotstoknow; 07-10-2014 at 09:24 PM.

Re: World Cup: GO USA!!!
Almost game time.
Who is watching, and who are you picking?
I'm going with Germany in a not-as-close-as-you-think match.

Congratulations, Germany.
It wasn't always pretty, but they were the better team and deserved the victory.

Germany controlled the ball for most of the match but in the attack end no one would step forward. They needed a Messi.
Argentina looked like a hockey team that would dump the puck and chase. Their whole attack was the long ball.
Glad to see a score, didn't want it to come down to penalty kicks.

Congrats to Germany.
Good game fun to watch. It was a great World Cup this time around.

Re: World Cup: GO USA!!!
Congrats Germany! 0-0 doesn't do justice to the first 90 minutes. They weren't thrilling, but both teams produced meaningful scoring chances. As was previously mentioned, glad to see it end in OT rather than PKs. Now let's really piss off the Russians by winning it on their turf in 2018!
