2014 Fifa World Cup Thread

Exactly the same in my house!
My thirteen year old lad is just getting football mad and the World Cup has taken over his life... That shootout was riveting for me and I've seen plenty, he was sooo excited!

Yep Goal of the WC so far IMO closely followed by RVPs header and Tim Cahills volley for the Aussies

Best bit about this goal, as the balls looping towards him, he turns to look at the goal, turns back, then controls the ball before scoring. 100% planned and intended. Pure class.

Yep watched the game...stunning finish from the young lad.

RVP is the stand out for me ...the header....it's the fact that he looked for a split second to open his shoulders to chest it down, but then went for the header, presence of mind to do that is awesome and the header was perfect...best for me of the tournament, but Rodriguez goal was stunning, if that would have been Messi or Ronaldo then they would have gone bananas about it.

Looking forward to the holland match this afternoon, should be good against Mexico, their GK is outstanding so RVP, Schneider and Robben will need to come up with class to beat him.

If Robben and van Persie are On the field, a goal Will follow.
I think Holland Will take the win here.

Two great strikes World Cup goals 8)
Robben was great 2 nd half, jinking and turning defenders inside out.

Great game second half.
