We are 100 days out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

I'm pretty excited. Even though USA is in a group of death if we can make it out we have a good shot of going beyond the first round of elimination. We've got a strong team and a good chance of doing better than any other cup.

Who does everyone think will win it all?

So I see the refs and players always talking regardless of nationality. What language do you suppose they're speaking? English, Spanish?

As long as there are poor decisions on both sides it is fine by me.

Neymar flops so easily

YUP. So fucking frustrating, the writhing in pain over a body part that didnt even receive contract is infuriating. Then the opposing player always has to go over and kiss/hug/grope the other players..its fucking disgusting. Why can't you just hate someone for diving and not pretend to kiss their boo-boo when they're down?


That save by the mexican keeper was filthy, that struck neymars head and I knew that was going in...absolutely robbed

Yah I saw neymar at the back post and thought goal immediately. Great save. Other than that it's not been a great game

mexico has been playing very underwhelming. All it takes is one set piece tho especially given how frequent goals have come off set pieces this WC

If Mexico doesn't make a change going into the second there is no way brazil doesn't come away wiht this one at 60% possession and all those cahnces

^pretty sure neymar is just playing a floating attacker. Aka play wherever he thinks he can create something.

Mexico is dominating in the opening of this half

Ochoa is dominating right now. Silva really should have put that a way. Good save but come on Man. You got a free header. If Brazil wants to win it all they cannot waste opportunities like this

Brazil will not win a WC playing like that. Diego Silva should have buried that header. They also should have left Oscar in, one of the few guys on the team that generates any sort of attack.

Mexico has to be the surprise team of the tournament so far. Playing a lot better than anyone would have thought considering how much they struggled in qualifying.

And how many lackluster performances from Brazil will it take before people realize they shouldn't be favorites to win the tournament?

Pubs? That's where I'm watching. With a bunch of El Tri support, so they are stupid happy right now. One guy hit me in the head with his flag though - why the hell wave a big flag indoors, dude?

Granted they looked better today than against Croatia, but still don't look to me like a team that should be favored so heavily to win it all
