People like being part of a successful group

Human beings are very social creatures. We evolved as part of communities, and much of who we are and what we think is based on how others in our groups behave and act towards us.

People also want status: we feel better if the group we're part of is demonstrably better than other groups that we're not part of. One way in which people can both belong to a group and experience group success is by showing support for a football team. Anyone who identifies as part of the group known as "England supporters" is going to be invested in them succeeding no matter what their chances, or who plays where, and will react accordingly when the team succeeds or fails.

The exact neurological mechanisms behind this are tricky to pin down, but some studies implicate parts of the brain such as the cortical midline structures, temporo-parietal junction and the anterior temporal gyrus, all brain regions that can show increased activity when processing social stimuli. However, this is an incredibly nuanced and complex process, as well as being hard to study in the first place.

Emotions are stronger when you're part of a group

People prefer to watch major games like England World Cup matches as part of large groups; if they can't go and physically be present for the game in the venue, they'll congregate in pubs or each other's houses. While this may sound like just an excuse to hang out and drink, being part of an emotional group can have genuine psychological effects.

As mentioned, people are already emotionally invested in being part of the group and seeing their team succeed. But if you're surrounded by others who feel the same in an uncertain situation (eg watching a football match) this can make things far more intense.

People in highly aroused groups (eg angry mobs) undergo a process called "deindividuation", where the emotional state of the immediate group overrides our own judgment and thinking, making us more impulsive and less self-aware. That explains normally quite meek fans screaming horrible abuse at the TV in a crowded room.

When your team scores

So those watching the football are already in a state of high arousal. The body's biological control systems, not quite grasping what's going on, can flood the body with adrenaline, as part of the fight-or-flight response. We become flooded with the hormones and glucose necessary for quick action, and this needs to be expressed somehow.

This is why the anticipation of football can be so aggravating: fans are physically primed for action, but can't vent it. If a goal is scored, as well as the select dopamine release associated with anticipation and reward, there's the relief of finally being able to vent your excitement. This may be why celebration of a goal can seem so hysterical to the uninvolved observer.

When the other team scores

The same physiological mechanisms apply, but this time it's disappointment, not happiness. Disappointment has been associated with a brief decrease in dopamine activity. This then spreads through the "group mind", amplifying the grief. There's also the effect of cognitive dissonance: everyone in the room is emotionally invested in England being the best team, and their losing would undermine that. The human brain doesn't deal well with information that contradicts its previously held views, so this adds to the general anger and confusion.

Add the depressant effects of alcohol, and any loss can hit people pretty hard.

People who aren't interested

Much of the above can help explain why enthusiastic football fans end up behaving as they do, but if the effects are so fundamental, why isn't everyone caught up in it? The obvious answer is that people are different. Some people define themselves by the group they're part of (eg football fans, England supporters etc), others define themselves by actively rejecting such groups.

Some people don't grow up with any particular positive association with football, and thus lack the emotion or enthusiasm that makes people fans of the game. They may enjoy different sports, or their interests may lie elsewhere. Perhaps they have a passing interest in football, but the media saturation means they've become habituated to it (ie it's so constant and familiar that they've stopped responding to it).

Whatever the reasons, for those involved, watching football can cause a dizzying range of experiences. And that's meant literally, as adrenaline can lead to dizziness.

There's a remedy for this affliction of course: just don't watch the World Cup. But then this is one sickness that millions of fans don't seem to want to be without.

Bryan Ruiz's headed goal helps Costa Rica qualify from Group D and end England's chances of making next round

Costa Rica have deservedly beaten Italy thanks to a goal by Bryan Ruiz, a player deemed unworthy of the Premier League last season. Los Ticos stride into the last 16 while England head for the nearest airport and a flight home. Italy were out-fought and out-thought today and Costa Rica fully deserve their place in the last 16. They have made the so-called Group of Death seem a doddle: and now Italy face a do-or-die showdown with Uruguay, who, as you may be aware, of good recent experience of such clashes. Hats off to Costa Rica: in their two matches at this tournament, the happiest country on the planet has given joy to the rest of the world.

Bryan Ruiz drives Costa Rica past Italy – and England out of tournament

Friday 20 June 2014

Costa Rica saved the Queen. But there was no saving England. The end of the World Cup dream has been confirmed. England needed Italy to win here in order to cling to the most slender of lifelines, yet the hope was snuffed out by Costa Rica, the tournament’s most romantic surprise. The only consolation was for Her Majesty. Mario Balotelli had demanded a kiss from her if Italy triumphed.

Costa Rica have qualified from the “group of death” that was supposed to eat them alive, and nobody can say that they do not deserve it. After last Saturday’s 3-1 win over Uruguay, they went toe to toe with the four-times world champions and they were the better team.

They shrugged off the harsh decision not to award them a 43rd-minute penalty for a barge by Giorgio Chiellini on Joel Campbell to strike the decisive blow through the captain Bryan Ruiz. The Fulham forward, who spent the second half of last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven, can cherish one of the goals of his life.

France lay down World Cup marker with drubbing of Switzerland

by Paul Wilson at Arena Fonte Nova
Friday 20 June 2014

Any notion that the World Cup is turning into a tournament for the smaller nations was banished when Switzerland received their comeuppance from France, a 5-2 scoreline and a defeat that could easily have been heavier making a mockery of Fifa world rankings that currently have the Swiss at six and the French at 17th.

Scorer of the opening goal and architect of the third with a blistering length of the field sprint that might have come as a surprise to some of his critics at Arsenal, Olivier Giroud was the stand-out performer in an impressive French side reshaped by Didier Deschamps since the opening victory over Honduras. Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann were stood down, the former thought to have incurred his coach’s displeasure with his reaction to being fouled in the first game by Wilson Palacios.

Enner Valencia’s double takes Ecuador beyond Honduras


Enner Valencia is now joint top scorer at the World Cup after scoring two goals for Ecuador against Honduras. Photograph: CJ Gunther/EPA

by Sid Lowe in Curitiba
Saturday 21 June 2014

“Yes, we can,” they sang and Ecuador could. They emerged battered and bruised but not beaten from a breathless battle in Curitiba. A cruel 93rd-minute goal had condemned Ecuador to an opening-match defeat against Switzerland and they fell behind here too. But two goals from Enner Valencia meant they still have hopes of progressing. And at the full-time whistle there was a huge roar and embraces on the touchline.

Ecuador, like Switzerland, have three points but they lead their European opponents on goal difference. The problem is that they face the leaders, France, while Switzerland take on Honduras, who lie bottom. Yet that will not be simple for the French; Honduras put up a fight here.

Argentina through after Lionel Messi breaks battling Iran at the last

Barney Ronay in Belo Horizonte
Saturday 21 June 2014

What a World Cup this is turning out to be, when even a 1-0 win can have a ring of something quietly sensational about it. In Belo Horizonte, Iran produced a stirring performance against an Argentina team of all the attacking talents, at first sitting deep and defending like trench-bound soldiers, then coming out in the second half to cause problems of their own down Argentina’s vulnerable flanks, not least with four minutes left when Reza Ghoochannejhad sprinted on to a fine long pass after an Argentina corner and almost scored what might have been a sensational winning goal.

Football can be cruel though and, with the game in stoppage time, it was Lionel Messi who scored the winning goal, a reward for persistence to the last as he jinked inside after a relatively quite game and produced out of his back pocket a sublime left-foot shot that found the far corner. It was cruel for Iran against an Argentina team who were poor for much of the second half, lacking invention and incision against a supremely well-arranged defence and midfield. Genius, though, does come in handy on these occasions.

Germany vs. Ghana: Live Score, Highlights for World Cup 2014 Group G Game

By Ken Chin , Social Media Staff
Jun 21, 2014

   

We just witnessed one of the best matches of this 2014 World Cup!

Germany and Ghana battled to a 2-2 stalemate after Germany opened the scoring with a beautiful header from Mario Götze, but Ghana answered right back with back-to-back goals from Andre Ayew and Asamoah Gyan. 

Miroslav Klose came on as a second-half sub and made an immediate impact with the equalizer in the 71st minute, scoring his 15th career World Cup goal which ties Brazil's Ronaldo for most all-time.

This result opens up Group G, and sets up the US team to advance with a win vs. Portugal on Sunday.

Germany faces off with the United States on Thursday in their Group G finale, while Ghana looks to salvage a result vs. Portugal and advance into the knockout stage.

World Cup 2014: Miroslav Klose equals World Cup scoring record

By Ben Smith BBC Sport in Fortaleza
22 June 2014



When the moment came, Miroslav Klose was ready.

One outstretched right boot, one simple tap-in, was all it took to score a goal that sealed his place in the World Cup annals.

The goal was typical of Klose - it wasn't spectacular; but it was instinctive and, above all, important.

It arrived with Germany trailing Ghana 2-1 and only 19 minutes left to play in a pulsating Group G match.

Benedikt Howedes's header might have been going in; it might have struck the post. Klose wasn't going to take the chance. The 36-year-old had only been on the field for 112 seconds and had not yet touched the ball. But his instincts were sharp, and his anticipation took him beyond the defence to prod in from a yard.

As he turned away to celebrate, arms outstretched, it might have taken a moment for the significance of the goal to sink in. Those who know him say the team always comes first, but a record-equalling 15th goal in World Cup finals had been on his radar.

That the goal came against Ghana was a neat piece of symmetry because Ronaldo - the Brazil legend whose record the German has matched - had scored his last World Cup goal against the same opponents in 2006.

Ronaldo has been all too aware of the possibility of losing his record.

He spoke at a fans' festival in Fortaleza only last week, and his message to the Brazilian fans was clear. "I have one big favour to ask of you," he said. "Please cast a tiny spell on Miroslav Klose. That would be good, so that Klose scores no goals."

Whether or not his record is surpassed, Ronaldo will always be considered one of the greats of the modern game. Klose, despite this accomplishment, will not.

And yet the Lazio striker is breaking records that great players of the game have set. He joins Pele and Uwe Seeler as the third man to score at four World Cups. He has surpassed the great Gerd Muller as Germany's leading scorer with 70 goals. And significantly, Germany have never lost when he has found the net.

Germany's Miroslav Klose scores


Klose has been dubbed as modest, unspectacular, and a striker that defenders say they need not worry about.

Stunning picture alert!

If anything sums up the pain of surrendering a lead at the World Cup, it is this brilliant image of Ghana goalkeeper Dauda with the German's celebrating in the background.

10 minutes to play in Fortaleza, the game calming down a little, what a crazy second half it has been. I've got a feeling Germany will take a draw, but Ghana have showed that Low's side aren't exactly solid.

Klose is really humble and to think he is only worth 1 million Euro as to his performance.

Miroslav Klose

With five goals, he was the top scorer and Golden Boot winner at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the first German player to win the award since the reunification.

Klose also scored five goals in his debut World Cup, the 2002 World Cup, all of which were headers. He scored four times in the 2010 World Cup, and has one time thus far in the 2014 World Cup, giving him a total of 15 World Cup goals. This total tied Klose for the most goals scored in the FIFA World Cup with Ronaldo of Brazil.

Klose is also one of only two players, along with Peruvian Teófilo Cubillas, to have scored at least five goals in two different World Cups, as well as the only player to have scored at least four in three different tournaments. --Wiki

USA vs. Portugal: World Cup Group G Score, Grades and Post-Match Reaction

By
Michael Cummings, World Football Lead Writer
June 23, 2014

   


The United States kept Cristiano Ronaldo under wraps for more than 94 minutes at the Arena Amazonia. But it was the 95th minute that broke the Americans' hearts.

Ronaldo set up the tying goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time as Portugal rescued a 2-2 draw against the U.S. in a thrilling FIFA World Cup Group G match in Manaus, Brazil.

Jermaine Jones and Clint Dempsey scored second-half goals as the U.S. overturned Nani's fifth-minute opener for Portugal. But with the Americans seconds away from victory—and a spot in the knockout round—Ronaldo curled a perfect cross to the back post for substitute Silvestre Varela to head in and keep Portugal alive.

By Mandeep Sanghera BBC Sport

Algeria moved up to second in World Cup Group H as they overcame South Korea in a six-goal thriller in Porto Alegre.

Islam Slimani ran onto a long ball to flick in the first and a Rafick Halliche header put Algeria 2-0 up.

Abdelmoumene Djabou sidefooted in a third, before Song Heung-min's low shot pulled one back as South Korea rallied.

Yacine Brahimi added Algeria's fourth and, despite Koo Ja-cheol scoring a second for Korea, Algeria held on for their first World Cup win since 1982.

Algeria, narrowly beaten by group leaders Belgium in their opening game, knew a second defeat would end their hopes of getting out of the group stage for the first time. They responded in emphatic fashion, becoming the first African team to score four goals in a World Cup game.
