2014 FIFA World Cup

[Kaney]

Fuck off Gary lineker constantly suggesting Germany and USA will play to a draw because of then both having German managers. Fuck sake.

[METALMAN]

I think avoiding Belgium (it is Belgium, right?) in the next round would be enough to motivate them to go for a win in their next match.

[EddieG]

Portugal were on -4 goal diff, iirc.

"iirc"

As if you could forget a 4-0 trashing.

Fuck off Gary lineker constantly suggesting Germany and USA will play to a draw because of then both having German managers. Fuck sake.

At least everyone else in the studio immediately said "lol, no".

[Dan]

I'm with Lineker. Klinsmann and Low know each other very well and I can't see them risking the final game when they don't need to.

[Rafael]

USA is still undefeated. And still has a good chance.

[Sam]

I could see Germany stuffing the USA. USA were let off the hook by an unfit Ronaldo and poor Portugal finishing. Germany are a far better team and will expose those weaknesses.

[OctoberRaven]

Which game is first, anyway? I know they're both on Thursday.

[The Buscher]

My pessimist side is telling me that Ghana will win, USA will lose, and Ghana will get by on goal differential. As if I needed another punch in the gut.

[Lineker]

Which game is first, anyway? I know they're both on Thursday.

They play at the same time.

[Gorka]

Should be on at the same time to stop the top two teams playing for an ideal result.

They play at the same time.

God damn it I'm going to have a heart attack on Thursday.

[Dan]

They already have an ideal result... 0-0.

Final group games are played at the same time in order to avoid incidents like the one that Lineker keeps going on and on about from 1982.

This feels like as good a time as any to explain to the Americans that the BBC coverage of the World Cup is presented by ex-Spurs and England player, Gary Lineker.

I wasn't even an idea in 1982

Well, a draw is an ideal result for both US and Germany.

Why not just tell 'em the truth, Gary?

[METALMAN]

I love Gary Lineker. He's having a good tournament. The playing for a draw thing was just a little joke.

[Hobo]

It will be brilliant if Portugal go out. They should be out now, damn it!
