Costa Rica just made this group hell

(6,261 posts)In the soccer/football forum, I confidently predicted Uruguay and England to advance out of the group and dismissed Costa Rica as complete no-hopers. I predicted Holland to be eliminated at the group stage as well.
US fans, take heart! I predicted you didn't have a snowball's chance in Hell to get out of your group either. So cheer up!

(154,021 posts)mighty mice had no hope... in spite of terrible officiating on that game, they won... I swear, I have seen bad officiating, but that first half was hell. I am sure FIFA had a talk in the half time because it was not as obvious in the second half

(6,261 posts)The cynic in me suspects Mexico wasn't allowed a better goal difference than Brazil, especially after the bizarre calls in the opener.
To be fair, the off-side call for the first Mexican goal was wrong, but marginal. The second one was horrible. I'm glad they pulled it out in the end after all.

(154,021 posts)the first one, ok, mistakes happen, and it was marginal
By the third, people looked at the official before celebrating... almost daring him to annul it too.
