World Cup Brazil 2014!

First topic message reminder :

Welcome to the DA World Cup thread for 2014! Please feel free to discuss anything to do with the tournament and make bets on the games.

Betting Rules:
Bets must be placed 20 mins before the game begins at minimum

The winner claims all of the losers betted DP (and his own)

You can bet on a single game, you do not have to bet on each round of the cup.

If the winner is tied then split the pot between them.

If the result is a draw then DP returns to the participants, unless a participant predicted a tie in which case they win in the normal manner.

Minimum Bets:
- Group stages are 500 DP
- Last 16 and quarter finals 1000 DP
- Semi finals 2500 DP
- Final 5000 DP

If a participant would end up getting less than 100 DP winnings profit or a loss on their bet when the pot is split then they will gain double the betted DP instead. This ensures you can benefit from big risk high DP bets.

Since it appears mainly staff are betting I'm hoping you can manage the DP transfers as obviously I can't! Sorry to the new members of DA who can't afford to bet but to be fair neither can I.

Oh and here is Shakira with the cup anthem...well that and she is the hotest 37 year old ever!

Stop hating.

^Someone is butthurt XD

No, I'm not. I watched the entire game and from what I've seen Argentina had more possession and control over the game overall, It was 50/50, until minute 113 where it just snapped and happened. I'm happy they played that well against Germany.

Did you watch the game with pink glasses or something? The Argentina team played horribly and if it wasn't for the referee to save their asses from the Red Cards they would have lost with way more then 1:0 >_> now smell the coffee and see the reality.

everyone plays well until they get a goal in their net. then they don't play well anymore.

They DID play better than Germany almost half the game. Also for the 'red card' part, there was several occasions where Germans deserves it, especially that interfere from Neur where he kicked a player with his knees.

Neuer's situation was perfectly fine with the rules.He is the one playing with the ball, he is the keeper.Higuain couldn't make it on time and actually he is making the foul in that situation.It's same like if there were two people running for one ball, the one who catch it first got the foul on his favour.On other side those 2 red cards for Argentina were 100% and even commentary was shocked that they weren't given, specially Aguero's, even tho here the commentary was for Argentina.

Tho Germany deserve it more.I mean just take a look of Schweinsteiger after the match.He looks like after war.Germany had the possession and control, Argentina were playing on counter attacks, both sides got their chances, tho Germany realize one of them.Messi didn't deserve shit.Pretty simple.

^like the argentina players did not totally wreck Schweinsteiger, hell he was even bleeding and they still did not get a red card. You are very, very biased now stop riding Messi's small d*ck >_>

As I said, Argentina simply can't win when they barley won like every game so far...

And Anzo, I'm not hatin' I suported them :3

I'm not biased, got nothing against Germany except I believe Argentina did better in offense in that game only problem each time they successfully reach the goal they somehow give it to the Germans for free. As for Messi's situation. During the World Cup he didn't do much, that's true, but again looking at it from a different perspective, he's the only one - aside from the Germans - who managed to get his team all the way to the finals unlike many others who failed, so I believe that It's fine with him getting that trophy, not like i care about it much to be honest, i think of it more like a consolation prize. After all the Germans won the World Cup, they don't need secondary trophies. Also there is this rival thingy between Brazil and Argentine where they had to give something to the South American team since a European team won the World Cup on their grounds. Football is similar to politics believe it or not, you can't give everything to the same side, you must assure you pay attention to all fans.

EDIT: Okay, I just want to close the deal regarding Messi, and to shut some haters.

- In 2006 World Cup, Zidane won the Golden Ball for scoring 3 Goals and 1 Assist, also receiving the Red Card in his final game.
- In 2010 World Cup, Forlan won the Golden Ball for scoring 5 Goals and 1 Assist, with his team finishing in 4th place.
- In 2014 Messi won the Golden Ball for scoring 4 Goals and 1 Assist, also having the highest record of the following: Most chances created; most interceptions as an attacker, most accurate through balls, and also got his to team to the finals, but yet people say he didn't deserve it.

Who's biased now.

I said it before, not even I care about the trophy, It just bothers me when people say he didn't deserve it while he truly did even If the trophy Itself doesn't mean much, at least credit the guy for his work.

Can't really. There were others who did better considering the circumstances. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't the best. He didn't really shine at all and just got duller after the block matches.

The real reason behind this is that he was there and FIFA spends a lot of money making super starts to not get recognized. I wouldn't say they're cheating, but that's the name of the game. You don't reward the one with the skills, you reward the one with popularity behind it so people are satisfied.

People are saying that he didn't deserve it because he simply did not deserve it. Maradona himself said that messi didn't deserve it. Muller clearly had a better world cup showing

Whatever float your boat bebe

^El Fenomeno. Messi cannot surpass him if he plays 30 years more.

And messi has no such fans:

To be fair, Maradona's ego is so up there he believes no other human is worth breathing the same air he does, so... him saying that is no surprise =p

Tho if you think the referee made bad decisions, you havent watch the world cup 2002:

tho they may made some good profit out of it.

^We pretend those games do not exist so shhhhhhhh....
