The world cup takes place during business hours here, so I've only seen one half of football so far -- Sweden-Germany, second half. But I think I'm going to watch the whole Uruguay-portugal match just in case.
Wow! That was a real rollercoaster. Edge of the seat stuff to the very end.

Today's Argentinian insults:
"Rojo, if you run more than a hundred meters without tumbling I'm gonna buy you desserts until you become diabetic".
"Abortion should have been legal 60 years ago, so the bitch would have never given birth to Sampaoli".
"******* bald Sampaoli, put Dybala and LoCelso in the pitch, right now you have 8 mononeuronal mannequins on the field. Fix something, you asshole!"
"I **** on your dead ones, Mascherano, you are slower than Maradona running away from the police. If we are eliminated, I'll stick Sampaoli's head down your ass".
"You assholes, Pope Francis prayed and prayed for you, and now he's mad as hell and planning on becoming a Buddhist"
I just saw a betting line at Forbes that had Uruguay favored over Portugal going into today's action, and I certainly wanted them to win. I think if cavani is okay after limping off the field, they can beat France.
I've liked them since they beat England 4 years ago. They've always punched above their weight. I started reading about them last world cup. The country doesn't seem as corrupt as other south American countries.

They're close, but Mexico still have a way to go to get to the level of the first tier teams like Brazil.
Weren't the English supposed to lose in EVERY penalty kick definition?

This was released for the 96 Euros when England hosted the games and has been played pretty much continuously since. Trouble was it's a good song and other fans started singing it too. During the infamous semi final penalty shoot out where Gareth Southgate missed the German fans started singing it.
That was a double whammy, the Germans hadn't just taken the cup, they'd taken the bloody song too.
