Pretty boring is an understatement. That game was awful haha I had to turn it to Andrew Heaney's debut. Iran, Japan, Greece, Nigeria have some boring soccer this year. Those four teams would struggle to score with no goalies.Quote:

I haven't watched every game thinks to moving, but japan-Greece was by far the most boring game I've seen.
Costa Rica!!!! 1-0 after a controversial no-call a couple of minutes earlier, they come out and head one in from close. 44'
HT: 1-0 Costa Rica
FT: 1-0 Costa Rica
Group D Standings:
Costa Rica 6 pts +3
Italy 3 pts 0
Uruguay 3 pts -1
England 0 pts -2
Costa Rica Advances to Group of 16
England eliminated from World Cup
Italy advances with tie/win against Uruguay
Wow Costa Rica was the 28th ranked team. Uruguay #7, Italy #9 and England #10 where the expected 3 fighting for 2 spots. England done and now one of the top two seeds in the pod won't advance. Crazy WC so far.
So if I have this right...
Group A:
Brazil is likely in the round of 16
Mexico is in with a win or tie against Croatia
Croatia is in with a win over Mexico
Cameroon is out
Brazil is out with a loss to Cameroon AND a Croatia win over Mexico by at least one less goal than Brazil's loss to Cameroon.
Group B:
Holland and Chile advanced
Australia and Espana out.
Winner of Dutch and Chileans gets top seed. NED gets top seed with tie.
Group C:
Columbia is in.
Ivory Coast is in with a tie or win against Greece
Japan is in with a win over Columbia AND a Greece win
Greece is in with a win over Ivory Coast and a Columbia win over Japan
Group D:
Costa Rica is in
Italy/Uruguay winner is in. Italy in with tie
England out
Swiss player with a nasty boot to the face. He's coming out and there's blood.....looks worse than Dempsey, if you can believe that.
France strikes first! 1-0 16'
wow back to back 2-0 France
WOW!!!!! France is going straight for the jugular!!! 18' 2-0 France
Absolutely terrible goal keeping
wow, impressive
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA-- GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLL"
France has a PK and the Swiss GK saves it! Still 2-0 France
impressive goalkeeping there
Horrible on the follow. He tried to smash it when he could've softly headed it in and made it 3-0
Well....now it's 3-0 France! 40'
France again. Easy tap home, Mathieu Valbuena. Man, France is looking good this WC. Big team, stars, no expectations. Could be the perfect storm to make a big run
HT: 3-0 France
France requires a win and a Ecuador draw/loss to advance to Round of 16
