As long as Argentina/Uruguay don't win, it's all good. If Brazil makes the finals, they better win. I can't imagine what would happen if Brazil lost, again. They'd probably tear down the stadium.

just here for the riots

not gonna lie i do support the duch but this year but sadly brazils gonna win

Probably the weakest Dutch squad in a long time, their defense is terrible.

I'm not sure why people are saying Brasil are favorites. They have a ton of pressure to win the whole thing in their home country. They have a so-so midfield and their starting striker ain't exactly a star either, although he has performed well in recent times for the national team (Fred).

Going to be funny if Spain wins it with Diego Costa leading their line (Brasilian born, made the switch this year to join Spain). I hope he hired some extra bodyguards.

brazil also has Neymar Jr!

the only reason i said brazil is cuz the government is having a super hard time claiming the ppl down in brazil as nothing has been improved since the economic crash, ppl would rather see the world cup & Olympic money go towards the country & poor

Yeah, the further along Brazil goes and doesn't win, the higher the probability of actual riots happening.

if only there was someone who was in japan :troll:

wanna hook a fellow RS member up for free :troll:

I want in on this too if this happens :P

In Japan, the World Cup Is Sold with Pikachu

World Cup: Neymar injured? Host nation holds its breath as news of training knock spreads | MLSsoccer.com

BCLC has a 2.5x payout for Neymar to score and Brazil to win vs Croatia..

Not bad, not bad at all :)

lol

so England loses confidence in Rooney

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's injured
Danny Welbeck injures himself during training

the inevitable self-destruction of team England happens once again

been sold out for awhile, tried to pick one up lol

I wonder if France will implode again

There's ACTUALLY a Pikachu on the front of the jersey?!
:fuckthatshit:

I've got my money on Argentina and Germany. Spain looks formidable. Brazil has home-field advantage but I don't think they have the talent to beat the star-laden teams.

I think the 2010 commercial was better than this years.

Watch John Oliver tear FIFA to shreds ahead of World Cup | National Post

So good. I'm looking forward to the World Cup as much as the next soccer fan but he brings up some hilarious (and true) points about FIFA.

The Opening Ceremony starts in less than 30mins (11am)

And then the first game starts after that Brazil v. Croatia

Who is broadcasting the opening ceremony and the game in Canada?
