Ay, but only a max of two South American teams in the semi's, assuming Argentina make it that far, so maybe only 1!

Sad but true. We deserved to make the 4 spots!!!

Still, how come no SA countries have been in a group together? Mere luck?

They can't. You can't have more than 1 country per confederation in a single group. Europe is the exception because they are Fifa darlings and have more than 10 spots. In Europe's case, the max is 2 per group.

For future World Cups:

CONMEBOL 8 teams: Perú and Paraguay have a lot more quality than all that euro shite. TFS!

CONCACAF 4 teams: pretty obvious

UEFA 10 teams: the group winners and two more awful teams who just make up the numbers any way.

AFRICA: FUCK! how can they legimately claim 5 teams anymore when their football is shite. When they struggle so much against euro shite...that's telling!

ASIA: 3 teams at most. CONCACAF make a good case for their spots but Asia???

Anyway, I for one can't wait for Copa América, CONMEBOL (everybody can play good fooball) plus USA, México, Costa Rica, Honduras, Panamá, and one CONCACAF shite to make up the numbers UEFA style.

Copa América = the real World Cup minus the two best Euros of the month. TFS!

I had told you, Fey.

You have tasted some Euroblood..however this was Latin blood..which tastes a lot like your own blood though with less catinga smell and a strong fruity forestly aftertaste.

However, my good equator friend..you havent had Germanic blood yet. Its dark and has a very muddy taste. Infact very few South Americans ever had the chance to experience this rare opportunity..some ancient medicineman like Ronaldinho or Ronaldo might have a tiny flask left...for the rest mere rumors of it that spread around the jungle like them old stories from the Incas..

Winter is coming to SA..and the North is on the move..

Suárez has been reading Oswald de Andrade's 'Manifesto Antropófago' and thinks he's a Tupinamba ;-)

Good reference.   


@fey

Brazil has drank litres of Northern European blood in the past (especially English and Scandinavian blood). There's been some time since we drank it last. We miss the taste.   

I'd like to disqualify SA for the biting incident....then again, being able to provoke the Italians : hihihi   

The Colombians on the other hand are getting pluspoints from me : love how they play

Brazil......

I wrote my undergrad thesis on Hélio Oiticica and Tropicália, so obviously Andrade and modernismo came into it.

Nice.

I just wonder how a guy that hates Brazil ended up studying Tropicália.

Still 6-2. Fey, the French had the chance to beat our poorest team that played 40 min with only 10 men and blew it!

True. Your 2 wins:

Euroshite 2-1 Amerishite

Eurohipster 2-0 Amehipster

Im refusing to surrender though!

Infact Todo...you can still sign the unconditional surrender though.

Otherwise, this will be you and Puro in a few weeks






We dont want that!

You won't have that, ya c**t.

The WC started with two Portugese speaking nations and 9 Spanish speaking nations.

Now its 1/2 and 3/9

The two native Dutch speaking nations are still in it. You think the Dutch speakers can make it a clean sweep?

What's the other Dutch-speaking nation? Belgium? Don't they speak Flemish and French? Is Flemish a dialect from Dutch?

Let's see WC titles by language:

Portuguese: 5 titles
Spanish: 5 titles
Italian: 4 titles
German: 3 titles
French and English: 1 title each

Latin languages/countries: 15 titles
Anglo-Saxon languages/countries: 4 titles


Last time a non-Latin nation won a WC: 1990

That's wrong mate, the word you looking is Germanic, the Anglo-saxon are a Germanic tribe, just like the Franks btw. So we can argue about France. And no, Germanic doesnt refer to just Germany.

Nontheless, Latin people are better in football, that's for sure. Do have a bit more people though.

And yes, Flemish is a Dutch dialect.

Thanks for the info. In Portuguese, though, Anglo-Saxonic and Germanic are synonyms when applied to languages (even if it's technically wrong, we can say that English is a "língua anglo-saxônica" or a "língua germânica").

So them Belgians like to say that Flemish is another language just to make it look cool.   

I lost the score Todo?

Nontheless Euroshite like Greece and Switzerland went toe-to-toe with the best! And were really close in qualifying!

7-2.   

That's not a good excuse, Fey. Amerishite also did that (Ecuador).

European wins up to now: Switzerland 2-1 Ecuador; Holland 2-0 Chile.

It would be nice to have South Americans and Euros well disributed to see how many would reach the semis. Unfortunately, we can only have 2 in the semis. I'd like to see games like Colombia-Belgium, Germany-Uruguay, France-Chile...

Do germany get extra points for the raping of Brazil?
