FIFA World Cup 2014

just embarrassing how brazil are favoured by the referees. hope they get ****ed by germany in the semi

Though I cheer for Brazil, part of me thinks it would be embarassing if this Brazil squad wins a world cup- moreover the world cup.

Would any of this team make it to the 2002 Brazil team. I don't think even Neymar would get in. Maybe one of the centrebacks.

Yeah, Neymar sure as hell is better than Denilson was. And I think Luiz and Silva would've made it. They fielded Roque Junior for gods sake.

But anyway, can Colombia please score the equalizer now?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Gotta go practice the corners some more, son.

What the hell are you talking about??

 

[thirteen]

wow, what a strike. Beautiful.

Just what the match needed.

that was a beauty, indeed!

but, then again, so was James under fire.

let's hope for an equaliser so we can go into overtime and i can wipe the taste of Germany/France out of my mouth.

Neymar really looks like he is in some serious pain. At first I thought he'd just do the usual rolling around. This doesn't look good, if the back really hurts there is nothing you can really do in 3 days.

Meh, there's nothing wrong with him. Just the usual overreacting crybaby sh*t if you ask me. So annoying.

 

[Sciocco]

I'm surprised it is only +5 minutes.

Knee right in the back with pace and power. It can do a bit of damage.
Plenty of crybabies, but not in this case.

 

[SeriousSam]

not even 5 full minutes, after brazil managed to waste like 3 minutes alone when they conceded the pen. wow

 

[thirteen]

so lovely to see Brazil consoling James…

and, yey, finally shirtless footballers

I'll believe it when I see the doctor's report.

 

[del1962]

Real poor refereeing of that game, should have produced early cards

Really sad that Brazil resorted to kicking James out of the game, don't wan't Brazil to beat Germany now, and I never want Germany to win

Lets hope the winners come from the other half of the draw

OK Colombia played bad today,but this Brazil team is a ****ing disgrace,this is Brazil just with name and still they made it to semis and can win this WC.And come to think that at WC 1990 with Romario,Bebeto,Branco,Careca,Aldair etc they couldn't get better than round of 16.

 

[The Hitch]

I'll believe it when I see the doctor's report.

You think he would voluntarily substitute himself out of the game, costing his team a substitute and potentially risking not being able to play extra time or even take a penalty? To waste time which would later be added on anyway?

Vamos Colombia

I know,but this is not cycling and Selecao is in my heart since my childhood.

Though I cheer for Brazil, part of me thinks it would be embarassing if this Brazil squad wins a world cup- moreover the world cup.

First point.Yeah,this is not great team,but hey who in this Cup plays well? (really i dont know,probably nobody)
Second,not too many,but dont be so harsh :-D Centerbacks,gustavu and of course neymar.


He didnt play well today,but still created two great chances,and his corners are real class,I closely follow them from group stage,quality indeed.
Hopefuly he will play against germany,that would be a hugeee blow for Brasil

 

[ILovecycling]

2-1

Hahaha my miss was precise again,lets keep this up

Lets not get too overhyped by good ol' times.Probably everyone except bebeto was worse than neymar (according to same age)

In a sense though, the referee has to take some blame for this; the players would probably have had to pull a knife out to get a yellow card at one point, so of course they get more physical than necessary, because they're going to get away with it. Fernandinho, Paulinho, Marcelo, David Luiz and Tiago Silva could all have taken yellows in the first half before any cards were shown. Set the standard for where a yellow is, and then the players have to be more cautious - some would be on yellows, some would be concerned about potential suspensions, and the attacking players would get more room as a result. It allowed the Brazilians to kick Rodríguez out of the game for the first hour, sure, but they may have paid for it with Neymar.

Also, Julio César was quite lucky to only get yellow, Luiz was only just close enough to save him from the red.

Still the overall line seemed consistent.
Don't mind some physicality if its shared across the board.

Ronaldo before all his injuries was so good. A lot better than Neymar for sure.

Yeah there wasn't a favored side but it made for a very frustrating viewing experience. Wasn't helped by the poor play by Colombia

To waste time? Not really. The game was over at that point. However, I highly doubt he's as hurt as all the histrionics would indicate.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

The comparison is with the 1990 squad though, which is before original Ronaldo's time, because Brazil did badly at that World Cup.

I honestly didn't think much of the 2002 team, which won a very easy World Cup thanks to conning their way past Turkey and that the good teams on the other side of the draw were, apart from a very mediocre German team, all screwed over badly to let the South Koreans get through. Spain and Italy in particular got absolutely raw deals.

I was talking about 1990,but still in 22 years,I would say he was pretty much even with neymar jr,or slightly worse.People forget what he does,he makes game all over the pitch,score goals,defends a lot,dives,free kicks (esp corners),penalties, he is the outright leader of the team of biggest favourite of the biggest football nation with the highest goals and with all of this he still plays great,with this immense pressure.I know a lot of people dont like him,but they should give him the credit he deserves.


imo 2002 is too overrated,there were great players,but the their game wasnt so divine,still probably better than in this WC,but so opponents arent so good either
