Re: The World Cup
I love the game, but the players are what got me into it loltinyblue wrote:I was surprised that there was no thread on this as well! In rooting for good old USA (I'm American). I can't wait for the game against Belgium tomorrow.
I am also rooting for Costa Rica. Although I doubt either the US or Costa Rica will win.
I was SO disappointed at Mexico's loss. What a great run they had, though.
Both of my parents are immigrants (mom from Brazil, dad from Poland) so I was raised watching soccer. I love it, but I must admit, I partly watch to admire some of the handsome players. Am I the only one?! Haha
I'm a quarter Brazilian, but I'm basically half. Being that, everyone in my family is rooting for Brazil.
Have you guys seen the bracket now? I think the final will be Germany or France vs Netherlands. I want Brazil to win, but they're not playing well
And poor USA! Even though I wasn't rooting for them, they played so well.

Re: The World Cup
The US/Belgium game was so stressful omg! Such a shame the US loss. But s/o to Tim Howard though!
But still excited to watch the rest of the games though.

Re: The World Cup
I live in the U.S and I find it weird that we're the only country that uses 'soccer' and not football

Re: The World Cup
I think soccer and the world cup in general would be better if the referees weren't such pigs in some games...

Re: The World Cup
I wish we would just call it football! And call American football handball or tackle or something. But of course the US has to be different from everyone else. -_-Becky7261 wrote:I live in the U.S and I find it weird that we're the only country that uses 'soccer' and not football

Re: The World Cup
I didn't care who won brazil vs Colombia, but James Rodriguez is one of my favorites this World cup. When he cried my heart broke. I just wanted to go and give him a hug and comfort him and tell him everything will be okay and just never let him go ((( I want him to get the golden boot.

Re: The World Cup
Wow I'm so glad I've found this thread. Assuming most of you, if not everyone, in here are girls, I know of no girls who watch soccer. Idk why they don't because soccer players are sexy as hell! Lol.
I've been Team Brasil from the start because I'm a big fan of Neymar, Oscar, David Luiz, basically the whole team. Needless to say, it'd be awesome for the home team to take the trophy. But, I'm afraid the Brasil has a huge disadvantage of losing their ace. Can you believe Neymar is out of the World Cup? I cannot imagine how upset/guilty he feels.
Even though I'm from the US, I did not care for the team. They miraculously got into the final 8, and it was all thanks to Tim Howard.
I hope James Rodriguez takes the boot!

Re: The World Cup
I'm happy brazil won! Just to see if they can beat germany now.
In terms of Neymar being out, I personally think he's overhyped. He's good, but not the best player brazil has seen. I am sad to see he's out of the cup though.
