very entertaining start....croatia scores first but brazil has been on them since then. only a matter of time.

word up toni kukoc

Why the Argentina hate?

Great beef
Hot women
Good beer

Come on man!

hbionic is right...if argentina could move their entire country to the snobbiest part of western europe they would. shtein they even speak their spanish different than any other spanish speaking country in south and central america.

everyone hates them.

There is a reason all the nazi's went there.

i gotta root for the Ticos even though they have no shot.

well nevermind that idea, thought it would be fun to root for the nica rivals but it appears i will literally be stabbed if i root for costa rica.

this place is going to be a shteinshow for the next week...already hear the fireworks going off for the first goals of the cup.

[Rome]

Hand jobs for every goal scored!

Brazil really should be better at diving than they are considering how frequently they flop to the ground.

[hbionic]

FIFA refs with their first controversial call

[MDS]

utter nonsense of a call....this sport is so silly having 1 guy try to police 22. its insane and leads to ridiculous calls like that

[phattymatty]

yeah that was straight garbage.

[hbionic]

Pletikosa has probably the worst reaction. His feet don't move. Two blockable goals (#1 & #3)

[hbionic]

Notice how most of the Brazilian fans in the stands are white skinned versus black skinned. Maybe the blacks are in the upper stands.

[hbionic]

its a kind of wine you gorilla

I did not know that...interesting.

How is their spanish different?

[hbionic]

They think they speak more 'refined'.

Trust me Phreak...as one of the Latinos on this board (GF being one of the others), it's like Irish v. Italians, U.S.S.R. v U.S.A., ALL OF LATIN AMERICA vs. Argentina.

It's how it has always been, and how it will always be.

farg'em.

[Rome]

Laughable dive but it paid off just like you'd expect it to.  Also, the Croatian guy at midfield got absolutely mugged on the third goal (which was a joke in itself) but no call.

[QB Eagles]

Basically remove the soft goals and the terrible call and it's 1-0 Croatia. Brazil will need to step it up if they want to avoid some of those $400 million stadiums being burned down.
