World Cup 2014 General Discussion

The country you support is Croatia

The country you should support is…
croatia
Croatia! Everybody’s second favourite team, with the possible exception of Croatians, who probably support them as their first team. They’re not quite as good as they were, but if anything that gives them a sort of retro classic appeal. You’ll love their grit, their spirit, their knack for crashing a party. A party like the opening game against Brazil, perhaps?

So what's this opening ceremony about? Is it just some generic singing and dancing?

yes

Football fans don't want to watch singing and dancing imo.

It better not be like the bs World Cup draw ceremony. That was the most ghetto ceremony of all time. Boringest shit I ever saw.

Is Shakira performing?

I hope Avicii and Santana are there.

uhhhhhhgggggg i hate this world cup, BR's timezone isnt the best for my sleeping pattern. Brazil v Croatia is @ 6 am

The game is at 1pm here and I'm at work . I'm off on all the knockout stage games and some bigger games in group stages. So I had to prioritize. Anyways I'll be streaming this from work today.

Jennifer Lopez is performing?

Can we get the chat, ceremony starts in about 40 minutes. I'm really bored.

Are teams in the groups going to be decided by goal differintial (sp?) first in the event of a tie? Or will it be like the Euros, and first tie breaker will be head to head result?

It's goal difference

Tie-breaking criteria
Teams were ranked on the following criteria:

1. Greater number of points in all group matches
2. Goal difference in all group matches
3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
4. Greatest number of points in matches between tied teams
5. Goal difference in matches between tied teams
6. Greatest number of goals scored in matches between tied teams
7. Drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee
