Take Mertesacker out for a game, Höwedes as well (and put Boateng in the center and Durm at left so that we have 2 Bayern guys and 2 Dortmund guys next to each other to counter the lack of cohesion). And as said, the other changes further up the pitch.

I don't really understand not giving Podolski any chance and Schurrle not much of a chance given how good they looked in the Armenia game.

cartman · 06-21-2014, 05:06 PM

Bosnia was lucky that wasn't a red

DaddyTorgo · 06-21-2014, 05:08 PM

I'm pro-Africa so it'd be cool to see Nigeria win. But I imagine B-H will take care of business here without TOO much trouble.

DaddyTorgo · 06-21-2014, 05:09 PM

Ohhhh boy. Big missed chance for Nigeria.

MIJB#19 · 06-21-2014, 05:12 PM

Nigeria - Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of the games I was looking forward to. so far it's living up to expectations, even if it doesn't turn into a goalfest.

cartman · 06-21-2014, 05:22 PM

Bosnia got robbed on that offside call

cartman · 06-21-2014, 05:29 PM

Goal Nigeria

DaddyTorgo · 06-21-2014, 05:29 PM

NIGERIA!!!!!!

DaddyTorgo · 06-21-2014, 05:53 PM

I vote that's a good no-call on the Nigeria goal, but yeah...Bosnia got horribly jobbed on the offside call.

cartman · 06-21-2014, 06:49 PM

Oh! Bosnia almost tied it late there

Abe Sargent · 06-21-2014, 06:49 PM

And Africa has a good day with the Nigerian win

DaddyTorgo · 06-21-2014, 06:51 PM

Holy fuckballs that was close.

I'd disagree with announcer-weiner about the disallowed goal being "one of the best of the tournament if it had stood."

It was nice, but it wasn't THAT nice.

Critch · 06-21-2014, 08:53 PM

Feel sorry for Bosnia, played well against Argentina then lost out today because of a refereeing error.

Some strange costumes from the Colombia fans:

Forget reincarnation, it could actually be him, he's not dead yet

MrBug708 · 06-21-2014, 09:40 PM

There were questions on Benedict's past in regards to Nazi's in Argentina

Critch · 06-21-2014, 09:58 PM

Another website claims that the gentleman is very keen on marijuana (which seems plausible) and is protesting against the Catholic church's stance on marijuana.

Feel sorry for the other guy, he was happy with his bishops outfit until he saw what his friend had turned up like, now he just feels boring.

That error gets first prize for the most costly mistake (possibly the first one that really made a difference for the final score). Granted, with a 1-1 draw there, Argentina would be group winners already and might have tanked the game against Nigeria (gifting them second place), but it did make the difference for Bosnia and Herzegovina for staying in the tournament or not.

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 11:34 AM

Rooting for Belgium to do some damage in this tournament, so let's hope they handle russia today

kingfc22 · 06-22-2014, 12:17 PM

If this result holds and South Korea takes care of Algeria later it will make for an interesting round 3 for Group H.

miami_fan · 06-22-2014, 12:35 PM

It is me or have the referees allowed a lot of contact go in the last few days?

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 12:45 PM

Late but in!!!!

kingfc22 · 06-22-2014, 12:46 PM

You could sense that coming. Nice counter attack.

Also, glad to finally see a team not stop a counter attack while the opponent has a player flopping around.

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 01:41 PM

Lets go Algeria!!!

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 02:26 PM

Goal baby, goal

DaddyTorgo · 06-22-2014, 02:26 PM

DESERT FOXES ON THE WARPATH!!!!!

Great goal. Nice touch.

DaddyTorgo · 06-22-2014, 02:28 PM

IT'S TWO!!!!!

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 02:28 PM

Boom boom goes the next goal just like that its 2-0 Algeria.

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 02:37 PM

DaddyTorgo · 06-22-2014, 02:37 PM

3-0

Where was this Algeria team the other day against the Belgies?

I mean Korea clearly has a shite defense, but still.

kingfc22 · 06-22-2014, 02:40 PM

Go Algeria! Take that Group H 2nd spot

Seriously - how amusing would that be if they advanced and then the USA...and...well..yeah.

Abe Sargent · 06-22-2014, 03:07 PM

And at elast Korean can now dream of being back into the match

MIJB#19 · 06-22-2014, 03:07 PM

Panna!

DaddyTorgo · 06-22-2014, 03:15 PM

There's someone who's 6 feet 6 inches tall in Korea?!?!!?

Never would have thunk it. Does he have gigantism or Marfan?

MIJB#19 · 06-22-2014, 03:17 PM

Nice save.

Wow...unexpected thrashing, but a beautiful play.

MIJB#19 · 06-22-2014, 03:20 PM

Great goal from Algeria. That should be the knock out punch for South Korea.
