Brasil 2014

The Dutch couldn't score in one of their Government licensed brothels.

Cute line, but it seems to me that they had the initiative in the closing minutes of regulation time. It's not like Argentina is running up the score.
 
I was rooting for the Dutch... But Im glad they at least lost on free kicks.. A coin toss would have just sucked.
 
I'll go for Mesi and the Argentina boys. Today's match was another that I was not able see live. :( Yea for weekends. :)
 
I've different jersey, Portugal, France, and Italia. My son has the German jerseys, home and away. I'll have to borrow one of them for the 13.

My pick for the 12th, the Dutch
for the 13, Germany.
 
I know crap happens and soccer is a tough sport but this is where it all went wrong for brazil:



I can't help but think if Silva was on the pitch and two or three Germans were marking Neymar the out come might have been different. I'm not disputing Brazil's deficiencies even with all their best on the pitch but that knee in the back looks pretty intentional to me. It also didn't help that Brazil let themselves be baited into an incredibly rough match.

I wish they had won. I loved watching this same team do so well in the Confederations Cup last summer. They are massively skilled both individually and as a team. They played so well and had lots of fun doing it. I would loved to have seen the same team this year. I point my finger at Scolari.

Oh well.

I hope they win against the Dutch.

And I hope Argentina spanks the Germans.

Enjoy

That picture Eric, that replay, ...tough to digest. If that guy was truly intentional (premeditated) in inflicting a back injury to Neymar, he should go to jail and never play anymore in any sport at all! ...Ever!

Analyse the entire slow-mo sequence and try to figure out what he was truly after; it is very scary! ...Check his eyes (not on the ball but on Neymar's back), check his right arm and hand, on Neymar's neck, check his right knee! ...Check his looks! Check but everything before and after and during.
Should FIFA check it too? ...And with the best experts in the sport?

You know what; I really hope that yellow Brazil win against the 'mechanical' orange.

They need to recoup themselves now and save part of their face.

That's no reenactment. That's a photo from when it actually happened. Sure as **** looks intentional to me.

I was talking to a few of the Dads from my son's team tonight, three of which are avid football fans and Argentinian. They think that Brazil either threw the game or just gave up after FIFA did nothing to punish Zuniga and the fact that Silva got two yellow cards in a game of 58 fouls with few other cards given out.

FIFA is a corrupt organization and the the Brazilian team just gave up out of disgust and frustration.

I wish Neymar a speedy recovery. I love watching him play. Look up any of his highlight videos on YouTube. He's an artist and a genius. He may be arrogant but what 21 year old world class athlete isn't?

Enjoy

I made a mistake; reenactment instead of replay. My bad; wrong choice of word.

* Fixed! I edited slightly my post above, to reflect my in-depth impression.

What you just said here resonates deep and clear in my soul; and it all makes sense.
I could see it in all the Brazilian players, and in their coach.

Thank you for sharing that because now I am totally with the Brazilian team in their action of revolt against the corruption at the heart of FIFA.
It takes a lot of courage to express your deep concern, and apply it into action. If FIFA doesn't stop to be so corrupted and unfair, Football (Soccer) will never rise to what a true camaraderie sport of high pedigree and class it is, at that World Cup level.
They should be all brought to justice and face stiff jail sentences. ...There is so much more bad in that organisation; just google it.

And no wonder nobody else ain't posting anymore in this thread. ...And that this sport often turns into massed murders and violence and blood and evil and hell!
Just google around. The times have now come to change all of that. And Brazil is the world leader.

It is so sad and bad what FIFA is not doing. ...The right thing instead of being so corrupted by money and being a total piece of garbage! Shame on all the sickness from all the people in FIFA organisation! You are doing the most terrible crime against society and humanity, all across the globe!

It is important to be aware, to denounce the injustice, and to act. We're all with the Brazil team sharing their pain and it hurts me now as it hurts them too.

I am truly and deeply hurt; and I am crying too right now, just like all Brazil is crying; the players and EVERYONE with a heart.
 
Disclaimer: I do think that Zuniga should be sanctioned by FIFA, if not charged with assault. I do think that Neymar is an amazing footballer. I agree that FIFA is corrupt.

But... if you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Brazil's coaches and players agreed to play physically aggressive football, the ref lost control of the game, and someone got hurt. Brazil's captain got suspended for interfering with the goalkeeper.

I'm not sure if I've seen any world champion quality play from Brazil in this tournament. Maybe they put all of their eggs in the Neymar basket. Germany, by contrast, is playing with a deep, disciplined bench. Germany beat Brazil.
 
FIFA has been this way for eons....Argentina got screwed in the world cup in Italy....Maradona got called out, when he called out FIFA....bad combo Fifa and Mafia.

Agreed. Brazil seems to have abandoned its "jogo bonita" style in favor of a rougher, more aggressive brand of football and it has backfired. Meanwhile, Germany now seems to play more in the "jogo bonita" style than any of the major powers in the tournament.
