FIFA World Cup Rigging Claims, Netherlands vs Costa Rica
The 2014 FIFA World Cup matches are analyzed through a geopolitical lens, with claims that the tournament is rigged by FIFA officials in Switzerland. Following a nil-nil draw between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, the strategy of swapping goalkeepers for penalty kicks is debated. Predictions are made for the semi-finals involving Brazil, Germany, and Argentina, suggesting that Brazil must win to prevent civil unrest despite injuries to key players like Neymar.

00:00 Under the lights on Friday night information competition with double-a fuel dragsters going against funny cars Adam Curry John C. Devorah and Sunday July 6 2014 it's time for your get more nation media assassination episode 6 3 2 this is no agenda the fix is in and we're From Team New Region 6 here in the Travis Heights hideout in the capital of the Gronstar state in the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where the fix is in and we're in it, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. Hell yeah! Yeah, we're good man. We are just good. Well, I mean, I don't know how much talent does it take once you figure it out. Once you know how it works it doesn't take any talent, but let me just explain what we're talking about.
00:53 So yesterday the Netherlands beat Costa Rica in a mind-numbing nil-nil game. Everyone's tweeting me, well John must love this nil-nil game. Tweet him, not me. I want to know about your nil-nil. A fantastic strategy to replace the goalie in the last minute of overtime. The Netherlands, they're crazy. They can't believe it. Now who is it, the Dutch are the ones who replaced the goalie? Yes. Okay, let me get this straight. So the goalie maintains a nil-nil game, and they swap him out. Yeah, because they knew that they were going to go for penalty kicks, and so they wanted the fresh guy in. Oh, they wanted a guy that's a little quicker. Well, this was a make-or-break strategy, and it's funny because I was doing some... They have to add some sort of drama to it. Well, totally.
01:53 Miss Mickey's watching this thing and she's and I was uh I was out running some errands I come back She's like oh come on the game is great. I'm like Where's Mickey? Who are you? Never watches sports Right, so and and but she's watching it on Telemundo, which I have to say enhances the viewing experience Yeah, there used to be there was a Simpsons parody of soccer once in one of the really old episodes It was a while ago. Not the more recent one where they talk about the corruption, right? And they had these guys watching the game and There's nothing going on. Just two guys kicking the ball back. There's absolutely nothing going on the field. They have the American announcer going in, Bills, and Jenkins kicks it to Roscoe, and Roscoe kicks it to Jenkins. And then they switch over to the Telemundo guys who are screaming their heads off as though this is the most exciting thing ever. I don't even understand that much Spanish except vacu-munados, which apparently is not a real Spanish word.
02:49 Yeah, they did that a couple times or when it was almost during the penalties, but yeah, I just hear an extraordinary Replacement there obviously the last minute So anyway, so here's what it boils down to. We have on Tuesday, remember we choose the winner of the World Cup and other such events based solely on geopolitical aspects of what we believe is a completely rigged game and tournament from the top in Switzerland at FIFA all the way down to Cameroon and Ghana.
03:30 And we really know very little about the game itself as is self-evident when we discuss it. Yeah, no people criticize us for being boneheads. Continuously! Stop with the soccer talk. All right. Well, if you want the same analysis on soccer you get from everybody else, then you should not listen to us. So we have on Tuesday the semi-finals which will be the semis which will be we have the Netherlands Argentina, but it's not Tuesday I think that's Wednesday that Netherlands Argentina is interesting by itself because We have a our king a king King beer King Pils it was better was Prince Pils now. It's just King Pils and
04:10 He's married to Máxima of Argentina. So everyone's like, oh, it's got to be tough. It's got to be tough in the bedroom for those two. What a coincidence. Hard for her to root for Argentina. And of course the other semi-final is Brazil versus Germany. Now we have had, besides our pick, which couldn't even happen technically, that's how much we know about the game, we knew that this would happen. Brazil, Germany, and I believe our 2-1, the score 2-1 is our prognosis. But here's what's interesting. All of our prognosis by the way is 2-1. Here's what's interesting.
04:49 Three of the most important players for Brazil are out. Neymar, Silva, and now William Borges. No, no, wait a minute. That is William Borges da Silva is out. So maybe it's two players. Yeah, there's this one guy, I guess, the top player, whose name I can't pronounce. They're all nicknames. Brazilian players don't have any real names. They're all nicknames. And this guy's got a broken back or something. So let's face it, if Brazil wins with two or maybe even three of their top guys out, is anyone going to start believing us that this is fixed? This is rigged? I mean, please. So of course Brazil will win, Argentina will win. There's really only two outcomes. It can either be Brazil-Argentina, which is the one that makes the most sense.
05:37 Or a rematch of 1970 whatever it was 1944 Netherlands Germany Which is what the Dutch want, but I feel I'm afraid that's just not going to happen. Well, there's a third possibility. Yes. It's kind of your possibility, but you didn't explain it correctly. Okay. There's a possibility that it's going to be Brazil against anybody they're going to win. Right. And then there's the possibility Brazil's either going to lose the final game or not even get in the finals. resulting in the burning down of the stadium and probably revolution in Brazil. We were having dinner, was it Thursday night after the show? And there was a table next to us, like four or five girls. And at a certain point, Mickey's talking to one of them and she's from Brazil. And so, of course, you know, they have their little, well, I'm for the Netherlands. Oh, I'm from Brazil. Like, I can't believe I'm hearing this.
06:34 But then, you know, I get involved and say, well obviously it has to be Brazil. And she says, oh yes, otherwise there will be big fire. Uh-huh, okay. Yeah, they know it. Everyone's well aware. Yeah. Well aware. Anyway, so there. I think that's it. Wait, I have a clip here. You're gonna have to red card probably the best German player so that make it at least look like it's not totally Yes. Buzzkill Jr. that all soccer is is just a bunch of guys kicking the ball around and then one guy who's really good... No, that's not exactly true. ...kicking it into the goal. No. No. All these teams have one guy who's really good. He's actually a freak of nature. End of show clip today, I will roll out John Cleese explaining football to Americans, which is a classic John Cleese bit.
