World Cup 2014

Have you seen the pictures of the demonstrations going on in Brazil right now? Millions of people protesting against their government for wasting their money etc. on things like the World Cup. Now that is how you protest.


Usually, I don't go with the hype of not going to places because it is too dangerous. Been to Rio, it was a great place. However, I would seriously consider the situation if it was like this next year.

World Cup is so over rated. Club football anyday for me.

I have no idea what a DDOS attack is but it sounds a bit like a girl with large breasts attacking us? Is there any video of the attack as i would like to watch that one day?

I think it is a shame that this is the growing trend. But the football authorities only have themselves to blame for the way that it is changing across the world. Not that they care as long as they are getting their bungs and backhanders.

1990 was the last of the great world cups for me. 1994 USA Poor, 1998 France (unfortunate), 2002 Korea/Japan - average, 2006 Germany mediocre, 2010 South Africa disaster.

2014 Brazil no surprises?
Maybe next year...

To be honest I think it will all over when the world cup arrives.
I’ve lived a life that’s full. I’ve travelled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, I’ve had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

Fifa general secretary Jerome Valcke says the 2014 World Cup will definitely be staged in Brazil, despite admitting he had been involved in talks with the government to decide whether to cancel the Confederations Cup because of protests.

Don't that just have that many people on the streets for their street parties?

Seriously though, it does look pretty mental!

Was speaking to a mate of mine who travels all over watching England play.
He went to Brazil England game few weeks ago. He said there was no trouble at all and they felt safe.

Media always go out looking for trouble and report it and make a big thing about it.
It's just small areas. If you want trouble then you will get it.

Overwise go about your own business and you'll be fine.

Well, well, well... Argentina can certainly be happy, not so sure about England. I think there is a chance they won't progress from group stages.  :(

  Oh Riff, Riff, Riff,
                          Do I smell a little bit of wishful thinking? Surely not! I am sure it is written in the Stars that The Mighty, Mighty, England are bound for GLORY, or is that my wishful thinking? :D :D

 ;) ;) ;)

I sure hope England progress. Given how they're playing Uruguay, I have twice as much reason to root for England. The Urugimps can go home with nothing for all I care. :tickedoff: Seriously, I'd even root for Italy against them. And I don't think that Costa Rica will do much at all.


I'm more worried about my Oranje over in Group B.


I'll be all but ignoring Group E. :lol:

IDK... England might have a chance to get past the group stage.


The Netherlands still takes priority for me. They've been my favourite international team that actually makes the World Cup (as opposed to Canada, who hasn't been since I was three :P ) but my dream final out of this year's crop would be the Netherlands vs. England... if it's possible, anyway. ;)


I'd rather see England and Costa Rica emerge from that group, but I'd take England and Italy. Even though I like Edinson Cavani, I can't abide Uruguay on the whole.
