Switzerland seems to
have best path to advancement
with Costa Rica
Central American squads
look to not truly belong
Brazil always a
favorite, but flirting with
German-like crash out
Serbia has been solid
squad thus far, sharp on both ends
punishing Balkan
defense versus a man who
falls when wind blows hard
will Neymar sell the angle well
enough for penalty win?
put simply, Brazil
and Switzerland advance
if all stays level
Serbia needs to win, and
Costa Rica plays spoiler
far less glory to
upsetting Switzerland than
beating Germany
still though, prospect of Brazil
and Germany both gone's there
fuck it, let's make it
happen; the Swiss score first, but
then Brazil does too
top half of table looks to
remain top half of table
I'm tuned out mostly
to be honest - exhausted
from this morning's games
with Switzerland and Brazil
both winning, meh whatever
but Costa Rica
draws level, and seems to be
showing some spirit
another small nation swan
song out of World Cup group stage
seems that Serbia
should be playing with bit more
passion than they are
there's a shocking lackluster
level of inspiration
they need two, and with
thirty minutes left, anxious
attacks start coming
William and company
make dangerous quick counters
and in fact, just as
Serbia started showing
life, Brazil spikes them
curling Neymar service
off Thiago Silva's head
no real drama left,
as Switzerland can ease off,
advancing forward
gonna be a Swedish/Swiss
round of 16 knockout match
Mexico's reward
for backing forwards shall be
now woke Brazilians
so few non-European
teams moving foward, that's sad
I'd gotten excited
about possibility
of Brazil ousting
I strongly dislike Neymar,
even more so than Messi
neither's inspiring -
a pair of self-important
talented assholes
football without spirit, turn
it on at the end... big yawns
Serbia's my least
favorite non-favorite
nation at World Cup
read far too much shit about
fall of Yugoslavia
this Swiss team features
Slavic diaspora stars,
not down with the Serbs
football metaphysics adds
sediment deeper than sport
none more Serbian
than Mitrovic, who drives home
goal first five minutes
their assault complete, the Serbs
settle into cold defense
Swiss looked complacent,
uninspired, up until half,
came back out full bore
Xhaka missiles a return
from Shaqiri deflection
Xhaka does double
eagle hand celebration,
taunting Serbia
the game just got exciting,
normcore, and metaphysics
after energy
of Xhaka's goal dies down, Serb's
re-assert control
the live stadium crowd is
FUCKING LIT; feels like knockout
tensest group stage match
I've seen, by far - high octane
in final minutes
Shaqiri drives home the spike,
shirtless Kosovar hand signs
to be honest, slept
through first half; after four days
real life creeps back in
Costa Rica was the shit
at last Copa Mundial
few ethnicities
freak me out like Serbians -
raw intense people
had a Serbian boss once, she
made amazing baklava
first half looked to be
(upon further review) a
Serbian barrage
Keylor Navas had hella
highlight saves, keeping it clean
second half begins
with constant Serbian threats,
Navas standing strong
but then Kolarov bends free
kick into a rippling net
Los Tikos lacking
potent thrust inside the box,
just dicking around
Serbian's defense is an
efficient stifling machine
Serbia has no
shortage of full sleeve tattooed
dudes with murder eyes
frantic final minutes scrum
along sidelines - fisticuffs
vicious Serbians
getting video review -
yellow not red card
pugilistic yet fluid
Serbian team gets the win
