OH MY GOD GLOVER


Hello and welcome to today's Match Day Thread of the glorious 2014 World Cup in Brazil. After the death of tiki-taka a couple of days ago, plucky underdogs Costa Rica made sure yesterday that It Is, in fact, Not Coming Home. Will we see another upset today in the form of tournament favorites Argentina and/or Germany losing?

No we won't.

Today features matches from groups F and G:





THE MATCHES



Argentina deservedly won their first match against Bosnia, although it was a close affair at the end due to Vedad Ibisevic's late goal. Lionel Messi and his team mates shouldn't have too much trouble against Iran, but you never know. Should they win, they're guaranteed to advance to the round of 16. A loss wouldn't be the end of the world for Iran, but it would put them in a tight spot before their final match against Bosnia.



Germany, who are Cool and Good, embarassed beta pussy bitch Cristiano Ronaldo and the other Portugese garbagemen in their first match, with Thomas Müller scoring 3 of the 4 goals. A win today would all but ensure them a spot in the next round. However, they will probably have to do without Mats Hummels, who picked up an injury in the first match. Ghana's backs are against the wall after they lost their first match against Jozy Altidore and the USMNNMNMNNMNNMNNT. Can they get a result against Germany if they couldn't even beat a team of lovely MLS failures? Probably not.



In today's final match, Bosnia (who are Serbia) will want to get a win against Nigeria, relying on goals from TRP favorite Edin Dzeko to do so. I can't think of anything else to say about this match because really, who's even gonna watch it?

Yeah, I remembered it just when I hit reply. Can't edit it now.

I will, obviously, never recover from this.
