FIFA World Cup 2014

LOL, a guy won over 46000 $ betting 20 $ on Germany winning 7-1 with a goal from Khedira!!!!

THAT IS SOME SERIOUS LUCK MATE!

Netherlands - Argentina 7-1. You can do it. I believe in you.

[Kilgamayan]

I want to pull hard for the Netherlands to take this today because I've historically loathed Argentina's approach to the game (in the same way I loathe Italy's) but Messi is basically the anti-Argentina so I have a hard time rooting against him.

Really, now that Brazil is out, I'm happy with any of the three remaining teams.

If you guys keep these antics going on, they will start thinking you are some sort of confused Jiraiya/Naruto cosplayers  :V

In that case Edible, print the right face out and wear it, just in case.

I actually have an orange dress shirt I will wear, just for you.

Iceland is crawling with Dutchies and their pale gangly limbs, beer breath and ridiculous orange everything. Win or lose, we will have to deal with their phlegmy howling.

I am pulling for Argentina. They've been fun to watch, and I think the Dutch are getting tired, but I also honestly wouldn't be surprised if they gave this one their all. Should be an entertaining game either way.

[Helepolis]

I am pulling for Argentina.

Fine be like that Ammy! Don't come begging for mercy when we finish them off with 8-0.

*sniffles* ZUN made me go emotional with those words... ;-;
In the "delicious tears, I will sleep well tonight" way, not the "my sympathies" way.

That's what I meant. Sorry could not reply before, was sleeping :V

But anyway, I'm looking forward for today's game too.

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention, but there's a bookstore in S?o Paulo that promised a 10% discount on every book for each goal Brasil would take from Deutschland.

Guess what? Their site is still offline since yesterday from so many people trying to buy books from there. 70% discount is a HUGE discount after all. This is simply hilarious.

[Suikama]

imagine if the score was 10-0

"please rob us"

or if it was even worse

"we'll pay you to rob us!"

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

This is the ad, btw:



They said "The promotion goes for 24 hours after the final whistle"

...welp, better to prepare my credit card. :V

[HakureiSM]

ZUN tweeted that he would go to bed thinking of the crushed spirits of the Brazil supporters.

Futbol loli confirmed Th15

Also yeah I  have that publisher's site on a tab since yesterday, but all the books suck :derp:

This sounds familiar. Anyone remember that Simpsons episode where a free Krusty Burger was promised for every gold medal the US won at the 1984 Summer Olympics (where, it turns out, there was an even bigger sweep)? I can still see Krusty's tear-choked shouting: "I WILL PERSONALLY SPIT IN EVERY TENTH BURGER!"

Lesson learned: Capitalize on major sporting events; just don't gamble your business on final outcomes.

Some stuff

Google Search Mainpage:


#BRAvGER was the most tweeted sporting event ever (35.6 million tweets)

ZDF (German broadcaster of the game yesterday) got a new viewing rating record of 32,57 million viewers (87,8%) during the game yesterday.

Mediamarkt, a large electronic store all over NL, has promised that people who buy a TV during WC will get their money back if NL becomes world champion. Well then.

[Suikama]

Well at least it sounds like a better idea to bet on your own team rather than against like the bookstore :V

[DX7.EP]

Well NL team also gets free space trip if they win the World Cup at that....

These promotional deals are absurd and great. :getdown:

[Tengukami]

Mediamarkt, a large electronic store all over NL, has promised that people who buy a TV during WC will get their money back if NL becomes world champion. Well then.

The brilliant thing about this is that Mediamarkt loses no money on this either way. At best, they sell a shitload of TVS. At worst, they have to return that money, but I reckon that somewhere less than 100% of those who bought a TV from there today won't bother getting the refund.

E: Er, unless by refund they mean folks get to keep the TVs. Still, a nice bit of wagering.

Battle Roar

<insert "battle dive" + appropriate picture>

No time, gotta watch game.

[redlakitu]

[Helepolis]

Game is hard.

Argentina full lockdown mid-field. Robben, Persie, Sneijder are perma-deffed by minimum of 2. Same thing NL applies for Messi, but with minimum of 3 if possible. Persie also is not 100%. He's not present on the field. News sources said he had aches/pain but it seems his performance is really degraded by this.

Both teams seem stressful but Argentina has reached our goal dozen of times and we only twice? orzzzzzzzzz

[Tengukami]

Holland is tired, I think, while Argentina's making some respectable if miscalculated attempts at a goal. Holland has a great defense and can get upfield, they just need to wake up once they get there.

[Helepolis]

Yea I've seen lots of tired faces on some key players like Kuyt and BMI. BMI even held his knees for a moment when the whistle blew. Worse part is, even if we win, Germany had 1 extra day to rest compared to NL.

My family gave up and went to sleep from the boredom.
