Holy shit THANK YOU Schneider. I would've felt so bad for Holland if they lost. Gotta give it to the boys in orange - they don't give up and don't screw up when it is all on the line. Russia would've missed the net 20 times by now.

I gotta say I think the hot, humid South American climate is helping the teams with similar climates back home. The Holland team already look sweaty as hell while the Mexicans look comfortable.

Brazil will win.. hope that brazil will win the world cup 2014.. Nah they're not the powerhouse we are used to seeing. I think Colombia will beat them, but it will be another close/exciting match like vs Chile. For tomorrow: Mexico - Netherlands: looking like a solid win for Netherlands - 1-0 or 2-0. Mexico has good defending but the Dutch are just a higher tier team. Greece - Costa Rica: I've been watching Greece play since 2008 Euro and they are very very boring and I'm always surprised they keep progressing out of group stage. I think Costa Rica will demolish them 2-0 or worse.

I got Baldur's gate 2 Enhanced Edition for 6 bucks. I never played the Baldur's gate series and my friends kept saying its the best RPG there is. I played through the first one with them, now we're going to play number 2.

Wow what a goal by Rodriguez. This guy is super talented. One touch off the chest, just under the crossbar, totally surprised the goalkeeper.

Brazil barely squeaks by into semis.
Not into Semis yet they have to go through quarterfinals for that .. ! Oops you're right. Brazil is in top form
If that's top form they will be very lucky to get into the semi finals let alone win the world cup. Agreed, even after seeing their first game against Croatia I think it is clear they won't contend for the cup, there are better teams.

Christ this is so down to the wire. Both keepers doing great.
Congrats Brazil, but Chile played great. Brazil barely squeaks by into semis. This is my favorite game of the cup so far, I really wanted Chile to win.

Time for quarterfinals. Brazil - Chile: I'm going to go with Chile winning by penalties after a draw.
Let's see if my prediction comes true. Brazil is under so much pressure to win, can you imagine the riots if they lose?

Iran I can agree but Ghana is a good team. They had a tough group and played very well - they tied with Germany, only lost to Americans because of a super early goal and played almost even with Portugal. And Korea was also really boring.

Wow what a controversial call. I don't know how I feel about that. On the repeat it looks like it touched Hulk's upper arm but it wasn't really on purpose. That should have probably counted.

Brazilian mistake makes it 1-1. I love this level of football, both teams are taking every chance they get to score.
|
|
|
The Chileans are looking to murder Neymar this match.
|
|
|
Total goals scored historically between these two teams - Brazil 159 goals scored, Chile 58. Brazil attacking very, very fast. Crazy football.
|
|

Jesus these guys are fouling hardcore. That's two yellows there already, one for each team. Ref being very soft so far.
And damn the Brazilian fans are loud.

No more bitching about price drops. You invested in a alpha-stage currency in the infancy of crypto-currencies. Adoption will be stifled if everyone just cares about is doubling up over night. Go to a casino! Keep in mind the broader goal of creating a balanced and decentralized currency in which the world can participate. This is what the crypto-currency movement needs to be about . Not quickly turning over your XMR for USD/EUR, but competing with the established system. I believe if we lose this vision the movement will fail. So everyone hold on, you knew this would be a ride . When everybody thinks XMR is worth an ounce of gold the price will be an ounce of gold , right now consensus says XMR is worth 0.00414935 BTC. In other words, pump and dumpers gtfo. Monero is actually going down for a logical reason (being mined too fast and not enough demand yet).

WoW! Looks like this thread got taken over by pumpers and dumpers and snake oil hyping bullshitters.
"1M satoshi till summer's end." "You are stupid if you are not buying right now" "Vericoin is king" "Vericoin will be the second currency. It will destroy Litecoin"
Also, that douchebag named Crindon.
Stupid stupid kids. Oh, and wait till crypto will gain more popularity. It will be a disaster with these dumb irrational kids.
Haha, agreed. These people are really annoying. And why does that Crindon guy have a random old dude in his avatar? I'm surprised that actual supporters of particular alt coins aren't more angry with the pump dumpers taking over their coin threads.

Time for quarterfinals. Brazil - Chile: I'm going to go with Chile winning by penalties after a draw. Chile only lost to Netherlands which isn't really something to be upset about, and Brazil hasn't been that impressive in my opinion.
Uruguay - Colombia. Going with Uruguay, something like 2-1. I watched Uruguay more than Colombia and I know they beat Italy which is a pretty good team. Also Colombia had a really easy group.

The reason they look so creepy is because of the Uncanny Valley effect. Basically when you have something that very closely resembles human features/aesthetics , but not fully, it creates a feeling of revulsion and creepiness.
