WE WANT OUR BONY

How many people can Greece fit in their box?

 

[Christo]

I'm assuming we'll now see the Greeks pack the D like they do a back door.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Jackson Mattinez not exactly making me want Arsenal to open the war chest.

 

[The Gator]

Its amazing that as poorly as Greece has played, they're one goal away from advancing.

And there we go.

Cameron turns it over for Cote D'Ivoire and Greece puts it in.

They're a disgusting team...one goal in three games and they might advance :X

Most of a dorm floor, in my experience.

The opposite of Greeks bearing gifts

I do like Samaras, though.

COME ON YOU ####ING CONCACAFS!

 

[Jayrod]

This is only Greece's 3rd World Cup in their history and they have never made it out of the group stage before.

Sure to break the ratings record.

I have to say that was exactly what I expected from this game. 100%. That it would be just some dumb play and the Greeks would end up ahead.

Oooh Japan leveled though. Maybe the bus needs to come out of the garage yet...

[El Floppo]

Japan!

The group of life!!!!

Is there any way all four of these teams can make it to the knockout rounds?

 

[SmoovySmoov]

Honda with the assist on a really nice equalizer for Japan.

 

[El Floppo]

Silly question: Are there any kind of scoreboards in these stadiums? Like do the crowds see any kind of clock like we see on TV? In every shot of the stadiums all I can see are Jumbotrons.

This kind of got lost in all of the bite talk, but does anyone have an answer to this?

Yes, they'd have the score and time on it.

So the crowd can see the time? Interesting.

They can see the clock go to 90 minutes. After that the clock stops running.

I thought most were like this and had a spot for both game and stoppage times?

I'm talking out of my ###. I've seen a handful of stadiums- never had the extra-time playing- but it would be nice to think they did.

Greece/Costa Rica second round game :X

I think Costa Rica has been the biggest surprise of the tournament and are a must watch. They have a legit chance against what ever team comes in second to make a quarter final appearance IMO.

 

[El Floppo]

Greece scored a goal?

That'll take Suarez off the headlines for sure.

In San Jose, Costa Rica

Sure wish they would quit talking about whether the US/GER squads will be trying for a win...

So I'm watching Univision and just saw a commercial for Metastasis. It appears to be some kind of Latin version of Breaking Bad.....like blatant rip-off even down to the hat and chemical symbol schtick.

Main character even goes from full head of hair to shaved bald and has a crippled son.

(edited to correct spelling of show's name)

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Next they'll be ripping off The Bridge and Veep.

The Liverpool striker, though, says that the incident has been blown out of all proportion.

"These things happen inside the penalty area," Suarez told Uruguay's Channel 10 radio station. "We were chest against shoulder. I also immediately suffered a blow to the eye."

Fifa's disciplinary code sets a maximum ban of 24 matches or two years, but the longest ban in World Cup history was eight games for Italy's Mauro Tassotti for breaking Spain's Luis Enrique's nose in 1994 with an elbow. Zinedine Zidane was given a three-match ban for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the 2006 final.

IIRC Leonardo also got eight games when he broke Tab Ramos's face. (ETA: wow...only four games -- would be much longer today.)

Elbow to the nose in the JPN/COL game. Solid contact, looked like it hurt -- especially in slow motion.
