Match of A Sentence: Germany 4 Portugal 0
Portugal are such villains they make the Germans seem nice, as Pepe lives up to his reputation, giving the cameras/pundits/crowd what they want by getting needlessly sent off and Muller is again amazing despite looking like a German Ken doll.
Match of A Sentence: Nigeria 0 Iran 0
At the start of the match the pitch was a comforting green and then a bunch of irresponsible men invaded this green and pleasant land and started kicking up the turf and rolling around the floor, with nothing to show for it.
Match of A Sentence: USA 2 Ghana 1
This is why I watch the World Cup: A great group game that will mean nothing to the overall tournament yet has huge significance for brilliant sets of traveling fans, the game built in significance to a mighty last minute climax from two contrasting teams, the Ghana goal was a corker, US celebrations verged on the spiritual and Robbie Savage had to apologize for being wrong live on air. (I am aware this is really three sentences strung together with poor grammar, don't care this is the best game so far)
Don't Give Up... Ghana
Since 2006 when Ghana narrowly lost to Italy in the opening match in the group stages they have contained a lovable quality, mainly stemming from Michael Essien's dream- boat eyes. As Essien, Prince Boatange (the greatest name in football) and Fatty Muntari have lost their edge, the fans last night continued to inspire. Anyone who watched England's friendly against Ghana in 2013 will know that their troubadour of support can take the redundant atmosphere of an international friendly and make the match count. Party on Ghana...
Man Crushes of the Day: German Manager Joachim Low and assistant Hans Dieter Flick
The best (not outed) gay couple in football! They wear matching everything and are the father and mother team that have turned the entire German side into an exciting passing team...and have I mentioned how cute they look. Imagine them winning in the world cup with a kiss and coming out to the world (maybe they should wait till Russia 2018).
The love that dare not speak its name! Everyone's favorite world cup couple
World Cup Predictor
Brazil has been surrounded by controversy throughout the World Cup and the hope that the tournament would showcase Brazil as a developed and modern democracy has been lost. The price industrialization is high and one of the best examples of that price is the enormously high level of deforestation. Deforestation is as toxic a word as much as "FIFA" is a filthy acronym and it too seems like a good controversial subject to judge our entirely irrelevant World Cup predictor (especially as some of today's countries are the worst offenders). So let's celebrate the treehuggers and boo the bulldozers.
Belgium ( cutting approx. 2000 hectares in 2013) VS Algeria (who increased forestation)
Belgium might be greener but Algeria are desperate to increase their number of trees, so its heart over head. Belgium 1 Algeria 2
Brazil (3,466,000 hectares cut in 2012) VS Mexico (395,000 hectares cut in 2012)
Mexico may be 4th largest deforestor (technically not a word) in the world but the giants of deforestation are the butchers from Brazil. The Atlantic forest is ts main victim and its destruction has sparked a decade old campaign.
Mexico 6 Brazil 0
Russia (532,200 hectares cut in 2012) VS South Korea (don't know)
Russia are a superpower with a chainsaw while South Korea (who did lose 7,100 hectare a year in the 90s) just get lost amongst all the timbre.
Russia 3 South Korea 0
Most of the data was taken from survey in 2012, from a brilliantly cheap website called www.worldmaps.com/world-top-ten/countries-with-highest-deforestation-map. However there are some great websites on forests (like Mongbay.com) if you want to offset your football footprint...
Feel very clean after pushing my liberal agenda onto the World Cup: loved the Africans, encouraged gay couples to come out with a football and rated today's games through deforestation. Who says I know nothing about football!
