The FIFA Football World Cup 2014 is well underway in Brazil.
The Group Stages are already done and dusted, only 16 Teams remain!
In the knock-out stages, there are no 2nd chances, you lose and you go home. You win and you live to fight another day!
The Games start out with Brazil against Chile and after them it is Culombia vs Uruguay, both on Saturday 28 June.
On Sunday 29 June it is Netherlands vs Mexico and Costa Rica vs Greece.
All of the games are live on TV in SA on SS3 HD, SS3 & Maximo.
So, Brazil make it with a penalty shoot-out… by the skin of their teeth!
Brazil through!
Oh so we DO have a soccer thread! nice
2 @ Rage:
Yip, Road Rage… you do!
I closed the Bokke / Scotland Thread temporarily for comments, to draw you guys over here, to this one!
Columbia is known for the flamboyant style… remember this crazy save by their legendary keeper Higuita.

6 @ MacroBok:

Love that save
@ nortierd:
I think the FIFA propaganda machine has been quite effective at this world cup too 😉
@ MacroBok:
They will be pocketing Billions as per usual
@ nortierd:
Geez I knew people made a big deal about crime here in 2010, but Brazil must be terrifying, for real
@ nortierd:
I see Diego Forlam is in for Suarez… 4 years ago in Africa he was devastating but I am not so sure he can still do it at 35 years of age.
At least my wife is fairly happy now… she used to like his blue eyes nearly as much as Bakkies liked Mike Phillips’ 🙂
How’s this for a headline!
I hope he doesn’t bet with his own money, we all know how poor he is with predictions
Back Brumbies to beat Tahs

Ha ha
If Vic can do it at 37, then Forlam is still a spring chicken

@ nortierd:

Lol… In Durban one cannot even venture outside your hotel room after dark never mind the beachfront.
20 years ago the place was still awesome… now only their rugby players are awesome 🙂
If it wasnt for the pretty ladies they might as well call it nigeria, gosh i have no interest of ever going there
@ robzim:24
Awesome post
@ MacroBok:
Prettier ladies at Clifton’s Fourth Beach….and if you are really lucky you might spot Grant10 in his speedo riding his scooter
@ nortierd:
gosh those south american woman over grant10 every day of the week
Soccer players amaze me.
They can head a football that was kicked 50 odd meters without flinching or hurting their heads, but a defender just touches their heads with an arm and they fall like a ton of bricks
we aren’t all brokies 😉
