No love for the football in this forum? WC 14

Brazil 2014 has started and while there's a lot we could talk about FIFA corruption and Brazil's social problems, so far it's turned out to be a great tournament with some big surprises, spice of of every tournament. Take that Roland Garros!

Spain are the first team to exit. The end of an era. A bit sad here for such great players like Iniesta, Xavi, but their time has passed and their style of play became more and more contrived. They didn't have the pace anymore, they played with fear, trying to hold the ball without any real purpose.

England still left with a tiny chance after two losses, not as surprising to me, as the English team is always hyped up beyond reason.

Loved Croatia and Mexico, sadly one of them will likely have to go.

and don't forget about Costa Rica, everyone expected them to get 0 points, but they took the first place in their group and now they are in the QF! That's impressive

Hey, happy in the end Germany won! They were truly the team that deserved it the most. They even convinced me to cheer for them again after that sensational display vs. Brazil.

And I am reminded every day, just how important football is around here, with all the pitches where people can play. So many youngsters, adults active. So, go Germany!
