    I'm going with Argentina.

    But I have my eye on a few underdogs too: Colombia, Chile & Belgium

    Brazil will burn if Argentina win. But I could see Argentina winning it. I'm gonna be rocking my Messi Argentina jersey in Amsterdam.

    US really needs a win tonight, but Ghana has seemed to have their number when they played in the past
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    Haha, 2-0 in the 1st half and Pepe is gone. What an idiot. This is perfect. I want Germany to decimate Portugal and Ghana, so that by the time they play us they're already through to the knockout rounds, and can give some guys some rest. Just might allow us to squeak out a positive result that gets us through. But we need to take care of Ghana first which won't be easy!

    that was a joke of a redcard on Pepe. he went down to insult the player and barely hit him. alot of bad calls in the portugal-germany game.

    10 times out of 10, head butting someone whether on purpose or not and no matter how hard it was when a player is on the ground after a play is going to be a red card.

    Looked like a well-deserved red card to me. Pepe is a moron.

    Because it can change the outcome of a game. Not saying I agree. Played through college and I don't ever remember taking a dive. Liked this article though.

    Isn't there a certain NBA team that gets quite a bit of shit for their diving?

    I know it can change the game still doesn't change the fact that Soccer players are drama queens and the fact that these Refs make themselves bigger than the Game ...

    I hear ya. I love soccer but the flopping is just fucking out of control. Until FIFA decides to start punishing guys for the bullshit flops, it will unfortunately continue to be a big part of the game.

    That Times article was a good read. It's also hard for us as hockey fans (I see some of yinz guys in the NHL forums) to witness. There might be some exaggerated in hockey to get a call, but what I find ridiculous is the "MY ANKLE IS FUCKING BROKEN!" type of faces these clowns make when they hit the ground.
