World Cup - what have we learned so far?

Austrian Gull · Jun 18, 2014

So, everybody has played at least one game. What have we learned so far about the 2014 World Cup?

Brazil's team and fans are, as always, overrated.

Columbia's fans>>>Brazil's fans

2. As usual when they reach the finals, no one else knows how to spell Colombia.

This.

For me, the pick of the support has been Chile, Mexico and Colombia - it was obvious they would travel in large numbers (as have Argentina, Ecuador and the USA) but those three make an awful lot of noise, and fair play to Mexico's support for snaffling a fair chunk of the tickets at last night's game.

The bookies didn't think they'd be many goals. I did and am £500 richer

That Tim Cahill has scored more World Cup Finals goals than Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney put together. 5 vs 2,2 and 0 apparently.

TheJasperCo · Jun 18, 2014

That Championship referees are not the worst officials in the world.

Football can be fun

Holland are jammy. Australia totally outplayed them. Holland's defence looks shocking and they will eventually come unstuck.

Counter-attacking at pace, as with recent trends in club football, is the way forward.

That there's really only so far it's sensible to go through a large bag of Doritos

That the World Cup is not the same without Sweden taking part, I miss the close ups of Swedish girls in the crowd.

This is true, compensated to a large degree by the shot of a rather pretty German woman a couple of nights ago. Ask, [MENTION=3566]hans kraay fan club[/MENTION] , he'll tell you.

That after the 137th crowd shot of a brazilian/(insert country) with the flag painted on their face and/or with a samba headdress on, its actually quite boring.

That Goal line technology works.

That Spain are now a bit shit.

KZNSeagull · Jun 18, 2014

That punching shots straight at you, instead of catching them, is not a great idea really.

Igzilla · Jun 18, 2014

That Brazil cheat more than ever...?

The Fifth Column · Jun 18, 2014

That spain have precisely 45 minutes to save their world cup defence.

I thought France were pretty good too. The team that is.
