Voinjama Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I've only watched 3 games so far. The opening game, the England game and the Uruguay Cost a Rica game. Caught the first half of Argentina last night, and the 2nd half of Chile Australia. Missed all the other games through a combination of being out and about or at work. From what I've seen I have been impressed so far though. Exciting games and a high standard of football. The only negative is the refereeing.

Zatman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 dont think the refereeing has been that bad except a few errors which are been made high profile from both games in Group A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched - Brazil vs Croatia Spain vs Holland Columbia vs Greece Uruguay vs Costa Rica England vs Italy Switzerland vs Ecuador France vs Honduras Argentina vs Bosnia Herzegovina Germany vs Portugal Nigeria vs Iran And I feel like I've missed out...

VillaChris Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Great thing about this world cup is there is no excuse for not knowing how Tim Vickery is now. One of the best football journalists out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 After 5 match days, this is shaping up to be the best World Cup in years, let's hope the madness continues! Fabio Capello is manager of Russia, so I'm not expecting a plethora of goals tonight... Hopefully Belgium can live up to their hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 So far I have missed the Iran v Nigeria game. Every other game I have watched at least one half of. Best game so far for me was the Spain v Netherlands. Mainly for the shock factor. Italy v England was an enjoyable match considering England games usually make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Zatman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 think Ecuador vs Swiss was probably worst game of tournament though the 45 minutes I saw of NIgeria vs Iran was dire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Ecuador v Switzerland had a good, open second half. Iran v Nigeria was the worst by far. Thankfully I watched that on the laptop which meant I could hit mute and watch pornography instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I actually fell asleep for 45 minutes in the Iran vs Nigeria game. So many sideways passes, like watching Newtons Cradle! I think I did the right thing though, that 45 min snooze kept me fresh for the USA Ghana game. I'm going to have to pick and choose which 11pm games to miss though, can't keep this up for a few weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It was still better than the Switzerland v Ukraine game at WC 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yeah Ecuador v Switzerland was pretty good I thought. Iran v Nigeria was the stinker so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
