2014 World Cup

I really admire Greece.

But I really hate them.

Can't see CR pulling through now.

Feck it I wanted to go to bed, have to be up at 6.30, damn

He's also got a right to Brazilian citizenship too unless it's been revoked. Though heard he'd rejected it?
But going to agree to differ with you on this one. I bow to your superior knowledge.

But still doesn't make it morally right, in any sport. Birthplace/heritage back to grand-parents works for me. Residency qualification is a very very bad idea though.
If in doubt ask all the South Sea Islanders who're rugby fans too. They've suffered by far the most.

i agree, and what's worse is that the beneficiaries can only be those countries that can offer a good living by virtue of having good pro teams. Ireland is an especially odd case as the union can encourage its subsidiaries, sorry, provinces, to hire a player it feels it has a strategic need to select in the near future.

Thank God for EDT

Costa Rica are beyond exhausted.

[BonnieShels]

Just like most watching this.

I have to be up at 6 myself!

[osarusan]

7.30am here.

The games kick off at either 1, 4, 5, or 7am for the whole tournament.

Worst times possible.

[DannyInvincible]

Danny, do you actually get to see any of the football, as you type so much?

I've got everything on the one screen. And I've been told I've got the fastest hands in Manchester!

Greece just has no innate attacking instinct!

Just showed there with the five on two.

Were you there in 2002?

[osarusan]

Indeed I was.

Awful times.

Greece will be livid if they lose this having (so far) failed to take advantage of the extra man and Costa Rica's severe lack of stamina.

[bennocelt]

Phew that reminded me of Ireland V Holland, I mean Netherlands, how the hell did they hang on........... Surely they cant win the penos, they are too jacked

[NeverFeltBetter]

That 5 on 2 break - Greece literally didn't know what to do with such an advantage. But what were Costa Rica playing at, throwing so many forward in their position? There's having a go and there's playing stupid.

[BonnieShels]

Indeed I was.

How was that?

Like us versus Italy in Croke Park after St. Ledger's goal. Lost the head.

It was unusual. They hadn't a man in front of the ball when they were trying to hold on to the lead towards the end of 90 minutes.

I felt sick when Metroglu had that chance.

Big Costa Rican gang here. No Greeks. Thank god I'm not in Toronto.

Hon the Rico's!

[NeverFeltBetter]

This is Costa Rica's all the way. Navas is one of the best keepers in the tournament.

[BonnieShels]

Yeah. This World Cup is just ridiculous.

[bennocelt]

get in YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Costa Rica are still in the World Cup
