2014 FIFA World Cup

What times are the matches on at where you are? In Ireland they're around anywhere from 5-10pm which isn't bad.

Lol whoops sorry I forgot to answer this one. Matches during the group stages were 2am, 5am, 8am.

I'm not Argentinian or anything but if Messi scored that free kick the game would've ramped up. Unexciting game, but whatever, pretty hqplay

Yea to be honest I was actually cheering him on then. It's a shame he bombed it so damn bad. Also, penalties suck, so it's probably better he didn't.



Anyway, World Cup over, the best team definitely won, the last two games went exactly as I expected, less than 4 years until Russia 2018!!

EDIT: And congratulations to James Rodriguez of Colombia for winning the Golden Boot award. What a young talent this kid is. He's going to make AS Monaco rich!

So Messi won the Golden Ball a bit controversially. Does anyone have their own opinions on who should have been the top 3? If it were up to me it would have been:

1. Neuer (Germany goalkeeper)
2. Robben (Holland striker)
3. Navas (Costa Rica goalkeeper)

The Germany team were the only thing that shone out during the finals, and shows that it's a team spirit and mentality that wins the game and nothing to do with individuals. Hence the Messi Golden Ball trophy being so out-of-place.
