Out of Pod Experience

portuguese here, a part of me just wanted for them to lose so that they could come back home tbh.

He needs a lifetime ban from football.

Seriously. It's a disgrace that the ref and FIFA didn't act on it, considering the VISIBLE teeth marks on Chiellini's body. Yet Marchisio gets ejected for something that could have just been a yellow card at best.

It's really sad that someone as gifted and as good as Suarez is prefers to squander his talent by being violent out on the field, not to mention the racial abuse he shouted at Patrice Evra years back and the blatant handball against Ghana last WC (which isn't really that much of an issue, but still makes him look like a scumbag). I'd say that Suarez should seek psychiatric help for the issues that he would clearly have, but it seems that not only Suarez himself, but the Uruguayan team, its coach, and much of Uruguay's native fanbase seem to have absolutely no problem with it, even going as far as to put the guy that got bit at fault. Disgusting.

Suarez has now become the modern day Pac Man. But honestly, that guy should be removed from play for good and be placed to mental hospital.

Suarez takes bite out of online bookmaker

A Norwegian man has won 17,000 kroner (£2,000, $2,850) after betting that striker Luis Suarez would bite someone during the World Cup.

Online bookmaker Betsafe had been offering odds of 175/1 that the Uruguayan would attack an opponent in Brazil.

Suarez denies claims that he bit Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during Tuesday's match, but the sport's governing body, Fifa, has opened an investigation into the claim.

Richard Helmersen, 24, who originally put down 100 kroner (£10, $16), told Norway's NRK he wanted to "say thank you to Luis Suarez".

Well deserved. Liverpool diehards can whinge about it as much as they want but it's a much needed ban. Suarez should seek help in the meantime and take a good look at all the talent he's squandering in himself.

On a more positive note, I loved the U.S/Germany game. Miffed that US didn't get at least a draw, but when you're up against guys like Müller it would be tough to get even that result. I'd like to think that the US can go farther but even if they don't, they've done a good job at at least getting out of a group like this, even though an injured Ronaldo probably helped with that

Ok guess not. It was a great way to go though, they want down fighting and Tim Howard was on fire

So close for the US team! Tim Howard put on a goalkeeping clinic, although he really shouldn't have had to. It's a shame they went out in the round of 16, I was hoping they'd get to the quarterfinals at least. They're by no means a footballing powerhouse like the other nations still in the WC, but their efforts as well as their underdog status in their group and vs Belgium won me over. I'm enthusiastic about what the future will hold for them.

I'm glad Costa Rica is still hanging on though. I'm hoping they manage to upset the Dutch like they've managed to do to the other teams that have been the favorites over them.

Yay! Belgium won!


However, I have to say, I already know the man of the Worldcup, That US goalkeeper Tim Howard was darn impressive, turned what had to be a easy one-sided goal-scoring match into a nailbiting nightmare!


All in all, US can still walk away with their heads held high, they survived a tought group and now hold the record in most saves in a single worldcup match. That'll be a though one to beat!
In the future, whenever some goalkeeper does an impressive number of saves in a worldcup, they'll always say "But US did better in 2014" until someone breaks that record.

And a win for Germany.

Not the most interesting of matches (USA match is probably the best we will see) but a solid win for my favourites
