The World Cup 2014

[Tink]

Good on you, Miss Hale.

I haven't watched much of the tennis, and with Melbourne being so unpredictable, argh.
We love our sport.

I love all these events, and have been to a few soccer matches, the atmosphere is just as good as the Grand Final.

I still think its a two way bet, and who ever wins will be a joyous moment as both haven't won a Cup in over 20 years.

I am hoping it is a good game.

Germany deserved winners, but they awarded Messi the player of the tournament? Hardly.

Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez of Colombia was the real player of the tournament.

Congratulations to Germany, and welcome to the four stars

Excellent game to Argentina too, way too many missed opportunities for them which could have told a different story.
I don't know about Messi either, Logique, if he knew how to kick straight would have helped the team lol.

It was a great game to watch though.

All over for another four years.

I think the Brazillians crowd were just as happy with the win as the Germans. They couldn't live with Argentina winning the World Cup on their soil.

4 - 0 to the Germans I reckon Tink

Close.

had me worried for a while that it was going to be another penalty shoot-out.

 

[Calliope]

The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the Kings depart

At least Brazil still has it's most famous innovations...Brazillian wax and Brazillian butt lifts.

Meanwhile in the alternate universe....



To be honest I don't know if it's a spoof or not...

Just heard about this tonight, but the FIFA president forced Brazl to allow beer sales in stadiums during the world cup - they're usually banned

In 2012, when he argued that authorities allow alcohol sales in stadiums, Valcke bluntly told the press, “Excuse me if I sound a bit arrogant, but that’s something we won’t negotiate.”

But as the tournament has progressed, Valcke said he was “worried” that fans were drinking too much. “I was surprised by the level of alcohol. A lot of people were drunk, which can raise the level of violence,” he told Brazil’s SporTV in an interview last week.

What rank hypocrisy

I agree.
