Brasil 2014

See, I mentioned some of that stuff in some of my prior posts.

* It's a tough job to be a good referee; you can't be everywhere on a very large field from constant movement and with twenty-two players.
More should be done; referees on the sidelines and also two more on the field and also video reviewing in some cases (like in hockey).
 
The Dutch advance.
They were the stronger team, but certainly not the cleanest or the most honest.

"qft" has lots of meaning, don't you agree. :scratch2:

I don't know why you'd say that. qft, typically 'quoted for truth' is generally a statement of agreement.

I don't happen to agree. I didn't see enough 'cheating' to warrant the comment. For this match I think the better playing team won. Too bad it had to go to kicks.
 
Costa Rica was very lucky to send the game at the penalty kicks. They were inferior to both Greece and Netherlands,at least the latter did not allow a football injustice

Now, the very last fours remaining:

Brazil vs Germany ... I'm for Brazil but Germany is strong (way of speech). Still, anything can happen in this match. I don't want to miss that.
But two great players are missing (Silva and Neymar, both for Brazil).

Argentina vs Netherlands ...I'm for Argentina but this could be a match where the winds are flying high above and below. ...I don't want to miss that.

Exciting!
 
Any Player that has been able to come this far deserves the respect of his adversaries.....
The Netherlands goalie reached a new low by trying to make the Costa Rican Kickers loose concentration by arrasing them right before their Penalty kicks.....
 
I think Argentina-Netherlands will be a more interesting game than Brazil-Germany. I like Messi over Robben and will probably root that way. With Neymar I would like Brazil but I don't know at this point.

I know what it means, and I also know it has lots of other meaning, like...

Quite Fxxxxxx True :D Which is almost the same, and quite a few mores.

As for the Dutch acting, they're lots of it, and there was quite a few times in this game.
I'm not saying the Dutch are a weak team, no, as a matter of fact this is the team to seriously watch for the final.
The Dutch play the game to the fullest, finesse, speed of attack, change of position when required, 4-3-3, or, 5, 3, 2 or any other combinations, and yes, lots of falling or self tripping or any other tricks to attract a card on their opponent or better still, a penalty kick.
If it's not Robben then it's Sneijder being the consummate actor.

They tried it in this game, and they did it against Mexico, with the result we all know.

The one I blame, are the referees. They are now told by FIFA to penalize all actors, whoever they are, and especially if playing dead for no reasons in the penalty area/square.
