Anyone is watching the sub 17 world cup?
Mexico just passed to semifinals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *celebracion*

[Herodadotus]

I liked what I saw in both Mexico and Germany in that tourney so far.

Watching the Copa America, I have to say I'm a little disappointed by Uruguay and Brazil so far. Haven't seen how Mexico vs Chile is going, but after that Gold Cup match (which was half meltdown from a disappointing US team and half amazing comeback from Mexico) I expect a good result.

Just watched the women's worldcup, and hell yes, Germany won against France! That match was really exciting!

[Daichi]

The copa america has been really disappointing thus far. Argentina have just been playing so lazy.

[MANUELF]

Y méxico pasó a la final vs uruguay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

Nonononono, Sergio Batista is a horrible coach, it is not the players fault.

Nonononono, Sergio Batista is a horrible coach, it is not the players fault.

That's probably the main reason why, letting Maradona go was a terrible idea.

[Refii]

I'm not a fan of him, however:
1) Sergio used 3 DMC's, utterly retarded, Argentina is not Greece, they should not play defensively.

2) It's called the Argentina Diamond, use it!

3) Tevez is obviously out of shape, Aguero is on form and since he was 19 has had better chemistry when playing next to Messi, let Kun start.

I hope Uruguay wins.

Argentina looked lost against Columbia, which is a reflection of the coach. However, I was not impressed by any of the players other than the goalkeeper. The last 20 minutes was all Argentina; they had the game by the throat, and couldn't score. Columbia played hard, yes, but for a team of Argentina's skill, they should be able to win. Even if the coach is mediocre.

Spoiler:

Diego Forlan will make sure that happens

Argentinia was just ab huge disappointment so far...nothing rly more to say about it.

I watched the U17 semi-final Mexico vs Germany and i have to say that Gomez rly made the perfect last goal, haha.
But we were just fucking weak by corners, because there was no assignment at all.
Still a good tourney and vs Brazil we still have a good last match left.

[loneassassin]

And the English choke once again.

Also, let's go Japan

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

GOALLLLL JAPAN!!!!!!!!!!!

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Amazing fucking game between Germany and Japan and probably one of the biggest upsets in a while despite Japan being ranked 4th and Germany 2nd in the world

[Herodadotus]

Surprised by the choices the English coach made in terms of PK takers. And good job, Japan!

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Germany is already out!
Wow , thats rly disappointing.

I like Japan and iam now rooting for them, but it`s still a big downer here.

[loneassassin]

Seriously, fuck the refs for that entire situation with Buehler getting a red card for nothing and then Marta getting a second chance for the PK goal because Hope Solo supposedly moved before Marta moves towards the ball (which she fucking didn't.)

Though Marta is a great player she is deserving of every boo she receives from the crowd

[Herodadotus]

Man, this ref is terrible. Everytime she fucking blows the whistle, everyone on both sides stop to see which team gets a card.

Marta, Christiane, Buehler, Solo, and Rapinoe so far have received unjust cards, and with extra time, we'll definitely see another player get kicked out, the way she's calling.

It should've stayed 1-0, and that ref fucking knows it.

What a blown game.

[loneassassin]

I want this ref dead and buried somewhere on that field

FUCK YOU REF. I really hope you fucking die now> If there was anyway to complain about games The U.S. has a strong case of being screwed

EDIT: and a U.S. player just got thrown to the ground by the collar of her jersey and its a no call. Fucking horrible

[Daichi]

Wow, FIFA refs need to be fired...

[loneassassin]

Fuck Brazil. Fuck them and fuck those refs

BIG TIME EDIT: USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

[Herodadotus]

Beautiful setup by Rapinoe, way to keep your team in it!

I feel bad for Brazil, though. If they win the PK shootout, they're the villains of the World Cup, like Uruguay; and it's not their fault that the ref is the most card happy incompetent person ever.
