World Cup 2014 Discussion!

First topic message reminder :

Well there's been shit loads of drama already! Brazil getting a few dodgy decisions, some dodgy decisions in the Mexico vs Cameroon game and then

Spoiler:

Thought it would be a fun idea to start a discussion thread for the next few weeks.

I still too amazed!      

So what are your feeling after the World championship?
My are as follows,

Organization:
- lots of things on stadiums were finished in rather last minute,
- with one stadium still in building process just few weeks-months before championship started,
- one stadium even partially collapsed and it had to be rebuilt
- the huge amount of money put into it was too big for me, the country has its own economic and social problems, you could see that in the massive protests taking place before championship.
- To me it looks like they have build a golem which will soon fade away, and if not they will need big luck so it doesn't happen
+ plus is that the championship was first time ever (I think) in Brazil, pentacampeon simply deserved to organize it, imo
+ maybe it will help their economics (but I think it will be rather short-term) and tourism

Matches/Teams:
- Cameroon/Ghana and their ridiculous quarrels about money
- Portugal was far below expectations
- Historical failure of Brazil in SF, nailed with loss in 3rd place match, logical consequence after their under-average performance throughout the tournament
- Overworked Spain, historical knock-out for defenders
- lots of incredible blunders by referees
- divers
- overconfident Brazil
- feeble performance by England and Italy
- Uruguayan vampire
- best player of tournament: Messi, James Rodriguez or Neuer deserved it more imo
+ teams which pleasantly surprised: USA, Costa Rica, Algeria
+ lots of goals, 171, tied with so far record (despite not many goals in knock-out stages)
+ incredible performance by Germany in SF, well deserved win
+ nothing like vuvuzela, that crap from South Africa was annoying
+ goalkeepers, especially Ochoa, Howard and Neuer
+ the special foam for marking distances in free kicks etc
+ hawk-eye technology for deciding in controversial goal situations
+ Brazzuca, Jabulani from South Africa had weird aerodynamics

And more I might have forgotten

I agree with everything Yod, also a bridge collapsed and the Ceremonies were a bit poor in my opinion...also a famous journalist, friend of Messi, from Argentina died when his Cab crashed against a car with criminals chased by the police
We celebrated too we wanted the cup of course, but anyway xD

Don't forget Keylor Navas!!! He was awesomo!

What would be happening if diving happened irl xDD

Just read that Keylor Navas signed Real Madrid and there is rumour Kroos and James Rodriguez will, too
