He's injured. I've been told here that injured players on the bench makes a huge difference to the team's performance. I don't remember anyone on here suggesting an injured Colo be named as a substitute, like. That spot Neymar takes in the squad might swing this to Holland. I never mentioned Neymar. Stop imagining things. Ahh, that's right.

Have they been revered though? They are the home team and a huge footballing nation, to me it's pretty obvious they'll pull a lot of media coverage.

Pretty amazing how far they've fallen in 10 years, like. At least you are a very steady nation.

Same people hurling abuse at Neymar for being there that slagged off Colo for not being there.

The fuck is wrong with him sitting on the bench? Serious question.

Came here genuinely excited when I saw the title. The player wasn't mentioned once when I had a quick glance.

Get in Messi!

Come on man, he didn't even bleed. Just a bit dizzy.

s*** is f***ing ridiculous.

Did he lose consciousness? Just looked a bit dizzy. It's a clear concussion and he shouldn't be playing in this game after that.

'Concussion? Get back in there son.'

I wanted to but there's just no reason to clash.

You're certainly acting like it petal x What is petal x?

Nah, Pip will have a reason to jump back on the bandwagon this year.

You said fairly straight forward Germany win. Now it's a win by 3 goals even if Silva and Neymar played. If you honestly thought 4/1 Brazil was too short and didn't have a bet on the game, I'm not the biggest gimp here.

Ridiculous statements galore. Hindsight 20/20.

You must have made a fortune. I stopped betting after the last 16.... You shouldn't have with your knowledge.

I disagree that Brazil's squad wasn't good enough to win this World Cup. Up there with the best imho in terms of individual players' quality, and certainly much better than ours. It wasn't good enough. This team was a lot weaker than the one in 2002. No strikers (Ronaldo). No magician except Neymar (Ronaldinho and Rivaldo). No reliable holding midfielders (Kleberson and Gilberto Silva). No reliable full backs (Carlos and Cafu). While Thiago and Luiz are the strongest CB partnership in the world, they have no backups. Whether it is "good enough" depends on your opponent as well. Germany is the strongest in the planet right now, no question. This Brazil will never be able to beat this Germany. Netherlands got Robben, the best player in this World Cup. That's enough. He can win you all matches as long as you don't concede much at the back.

You must have made a fortune.

Feel sorry for them, probably they only good thing in their lives was this world cup, now they all have to return to their tin houses and look at the wall. Cretin. So much

Fuck off Marcelo

That's because it doesn't exist. Praised for a 0-0 draw to the weakest side in the knockout stages They hit the woodwork, what 3 times? Tbf. Its also pretty creative & bold to devise the penalty strategy that he did aswell. Let alone to put all of that on a guy who has no history of being good at saving penalties, very confident stuff & he got it right. Pretty impressive for me. Against Costa Rica. Couldn't score a goal in 120 minutes lol. They sat very deep and only conceded twice vs Uruguay, Italy, England, Greece (120 minutes) and the Netherlands (120 minutes) tbf. You either give them credit or ridicule us as well as those other 4 teams for not being able to find a way through. I'd be inclined to do the former in this case. I'll ridicule heralding a draw with Costa Rica and calling the man responsible for this a genius Is laughable. Take the result and performance in isolation and it wasn't a great game or performance from the Dutch English or Italians for that matter. This attitude is so annoying. The underdogs can never perform well, it's always the top dogs performing badly. f*** off with that s***. Costa Rica have played well, strategized well and gotten results. Give the poor f***ers some credit, man. Nobody is taking any credit away from Costa Rica. But I wouldn't call LVG a genius for guiding Holland to a shootout against Costa Rica after 120 minutes of 0-0.
