While the Honduras Ecuador match will definitely be a shit game, it also may just be filled with enough cheap shots, dirty plays, and laughable "almost but not" highlight reels so as to be worth it...

I'm not going to commit, but a friend hit me up to kick it ostensibly to watch this match so at the least, it will be on as background noise while we otherwise spend out afternoon smoking pot and recapping better matches, teams, and plays

Interesting to see how she reacts if Suarez has a little racist nibble at him.

Ecuador Honduras is like a pinball game so far, although Ecuador seem way on top

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 06.20.2014, 05:49 PM

Honduras is so dirty that after that goal was rightfully ruled offsides in injury time they even rushed to ref trying to intimidate him! Hahaha... poor sports yo!

To put that in context, that is almost twice as many goals in the same period as in South Africa, and way ahead of the average number of goals per game at a finals over history's course. Only the 1954 tournament -- an exception, and an irrelevant one, too; football was a very different sport then -- has ever averaged more than that.

Ecuador Vs Honduras was fun to watch, very physical match. Made up for the dud late match last night.

Looking forward to watching Argentina tomorrow, think they will really turn it on tomorrow. Despite the performance against Bosnia who are a very good side.

Surprisingly I felt the exact same way, I was actually really looking forward to that France-Swiss game until.... Meanwhile I thought the Ecuador-Honduras game would be total shit, but it was pretty good. Maybe its because the ref was very strict with the whistle to check Honduras to a more limited amount of dirty plays than usual.

i really really hope so. so far i have been very disappointed with the usual big hopefuls from south america. on the other hand, feeling good about chile and colombia, but i wonder if the have the weight to beat the big european sides consistently on the way to the top. so-- fingers crossed for the argentinians.

re: bosnia--yes! i was thinking about how if they ever reunified with all the splinters of yugoslavia (fat chance after all that blood, but one can dream) they could have an *amazing* squad.

higuaín, agüero, di maria, do not fail me!

higuain for captain today. fuckit!

h8kurdt · 06.21.2014, 10:51 AM

Choosing Demichelis for my squad was probably the stupidest idea of the lot. And there's a lot of stupid ideas in that squad. Dammit.

h8kurdt · 06.21.2014, 10:55 AM

But how much of a drubbing are Iran gonna get today? Is it gonna be 5-2 levels like yesterday? Or an energy preserving 1-0?

!@#$%! · 06.21.2014, 12:28 PM

what the fuck is wrong with the big teams in this world cup. looks like iran wants to win, attacking more dangerously than argentina, while argentina faffs around and was spared a penalty by the blind ref. shame on these fuckers---useless superstars. sabella looks incompetent.

im gonna start cheering for iran out of sheer spite.

demonrail666 · 06.21.2014, 12:50 PM

never in doubt (

!@#$%! · 06.21.2014, 12:51 PM

now messi celebrates like some great fucking achievement to score 1 goal vs. iran. fuck argentina, great players but horrible team. don't deserve to win

h8kurdt · 06.21.2014, 12:54 PM

Man, Iran played great and should've held off for a 0-0. However Messi's goal really was just brilliant. Gutted for Iran.

h8kurdt · 06.21.2014, 12:54 PM

And did Higuain do anything through the game? Barely seemed there for me.

!@#$%! · 06.21.2014, 12:55 PM

messi & romero & the ref. vs. iran.

fucking shitbirds

demonrail666 · 06.21.2014, 12:57 PM

Never mind Hiquain, I forgot to swap out the Hondurus keeper for Argentina's.

!@#$%! · 06.21.2014, 01:00 PM

that's what i get for putting my faith in these fuckers.

my first captain was ramos. 8x2 = 16

then buffon was back. i decided to go with him. 7x2 = 14

then put higuain hoping the hijoputa would score some. 4x2 =8

what other overrated fuckup should i put next as captain? hazard? lukaku?

my 3 forwards add up to 12 points.
