Fine, I'll head to the bathroom and trim my bush.

What physical work would substitute for running? You do realize some people actually enjoy running, right?

Was that goal for colombia really offside?

Initially yes, but the assistant referee didn't raise his flag at that point. Not sure why the referee decided to disallow it.

Would be very surprised to see Argentina in the final with how they've played so far.

Not when germany is involved

True, but to be fair Germans are robots and mentality isn't a factor.

Belgium's players are very young and might not be as strong mentally. Lots of things to consider in a penalty shootout, in the end it's mostly a lottery though.

That was an awesome set piece combination, almost a shame it didn't work out.

Oh boi.

Seems like scoring just gave Belgium more energy.

f0kin hell.

Saw you edit that **** 

15x2 minutes, then penalties.

And Belgium just scored, so that's probably game over.

What a game Müller is having 

Manuel Neuer has been fantastic today, even if he hasn't had to save many shots on goal.

If it's match highlights you're looking for, you can find them on the official FIFA website.

Statistics don't mean that much in football >_>

They do when your job involves working with them 

Generally I would agree though.

I suppose it's entirely subjective whether or not you think every footballer seems nice outside of football, Samaras for me is a special case.
This is primarily because of the close relationship he has had with Jay Beatty, the Celtic fan with down syndrome.

I'm fairly certain there are other things as well, sadly none of them spring to mind at the moment.

No, you're right, I definitely don't have a clue on how to watch football.

It's all well showing me the match statistics as the end of the match, if you're going to ignore facts like Greece having 40% possession and hardly creating anything in the 35th minute, a trend that continued at least till the sending off occurred.

Of course, since you seem to like statistics so much, let's go a little deeper with the analysis.
This shows the passes received by Giorgos Karagounis, your offensive midfielder: http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/4-2013/matches/731818/player-stats/6994/1_PASS_07#tabs-wrapper-anchor
Note that the left side is in defense. You might not agree, but I'd say if your offensive midfielder who generally tends to be the main creative outlay, recieves the majority of his passes in the defensive half,
then you're probably not playing very attacking football.

Let's look at Georgios Samaras, who played as your lone striker till the 58th minute; subbed off shortly before Costa Rica received the red card: http://www.fourfourtwo.com/statszone/4-2013/matches/731818/player-stats/10866/1_PASS_07#tabs-wrapper-anchor
Now this shows us that a little less than half of the passes he received has been long balls from his own defensive half, again, that's probably a sign that you're playing relatively deep.

Now I must admit I only kept one eye on the game due to my focus being required elsewhere too, but what I saw from Greece certainly wasn't impressive. With all that having been said, it did improve after the sending off, but the fact that Greece still couldn't create many noteworthy chances with over 54 minutes being played after the sending off speaks for itself.

On a completely different note, what's with the hate against Samaras? He seems like a really nice guy outside of football.

Is defensive football your way of describing 24 attempts with 16 of them inside the penalty area and 13 of them on target, 57% overall possession and achieving a goal in 90+ because of the constant offensive play? Yes defence was Greece's strong point and they used it well since Costa Rica managed only 6 attempts in the whole 120 minutes and only two of them on target. They managed to score so props should go to them. But Greeks were still better today.

Of course the Greeks would come to more chances, considering they played 11 against 10. That doesn't change the fact that Greece still continued to keep several men behind the ball while the clock was running down.
Costa Rica were also the better team before the red card, and as mentioned before has been a far better team throughout the tournament.

Either way, I find it unlikely that any of them should advance against Netherlands, unless Netherlands decide to become complacent.

No team that continues to play defensive football despite their opponent being a man down, and the game heading to penalties, deserves to win any game.

Besides, Costa Rica have impressed me a lot more than Greece so far, so I'm pleased they're through.

Yes and yes. Tried it out with Rams earlier to see if it was possible to change the trade port in a game with the DLC and return to the game without the DLC after.
