Cameroon will have to play the whole second half with 10 men.
What a ***** doctor, if Marcus Lattimore can recover from his leg exploding then Ronaldo can recover from this. I called it 8 months ago that Ronaldo would find a way to miss the match vs USA and that is a very real possibility now.Quote:

They put on the biggest flopping bullshit when they just get grazed by other players. They act like their foot or shin has been destroyed for life. Clint Dempsey got kicked in the face and had a bleeding broken nose for the entire match and he didn't give a fu*k. He was ready to eat the Ghana players not cry on the ground for 20 minutes and have the idiot stretcher team run out and carry him off.Quote:

FT: 4-0 Croatia
Group A Standings
Brazil 4 pts +2
Mexico 4 pts +1
Croatia 3 pts +2
Cameroon 0 pts -5
So....if Cameroon was to somehow beat Brazil and Mexico and Croatia tied, Brazil would be eliminated. For some reason I hope this happens.Quote:

I agree with both of your predictions. I was speaking of theoretical and unlikely scenarios.Quote:

Does Spain just pack up and leave now? Or do they still have to play their last game? I know both teams are statistically eliminated, but they should still have to play, right? Too many people bought tickets for the entire WC I would think
They have to play because goal differential is still a factor in the seeding for the round of 16.Quote:
