  1. van Gaal did a fantastic job with the team you guys had. Really impressed. Said it from the beginning though, the two best teams played on the same side of the bracket
  2. Robben was as quiet as Van Persie for the vast majority of the game. Both of them received absolutely nothing in terms of service. Their play going forward was broken. Robben tried to do something when he got it. Van Persie stood there offering f*** all Not difficult to spot the difference, no idea how Baba could put them into the same bracket. Sig makes me feel bad, Flip. Lie. I'm canny certain you were joining in the abuse last night. I think you're the only one who sent me a PM so I'm putting you on the ignore list. Dickface.

Sig makes me feel bad, Flip. It's sig worthy, I'll tell my kids, grandkids and so forth all about the fact I was there, the day Brazilian football got bummed big time on home soil. We'll be back Mike, someday that Confed Final from 2009 will be replayed but in a World Cup final. They have been quite abysmal in this knockout stages while the Argies have been very solid in my opinion.

  5. This World Cup couldn't get any worse. Just hope Germany do their job, predicting a difficult 2-1 win. Hope we can seal a win against Holland to save face without pressure.
  6. No doubt, can't blame them. They should've gone for the juggler.
  7. Although Thiago Silva saved face by casually being suspended for this game. Probably knew what was going to happen. Aye, forgot about Thiago - does David Luiz rely on him to organize? Possibly, I don't think the game yesterday has any bearing on the qualities of the players individually, David Luiz has been excellent the whole tournament until last night. Yesterday was a freak accident. Germany would've problably won anyways, but the result is just freakish. The challenge will be for Brazil to shake it off and move forward. Time to say goodbye to the likes of Maicon, Dani Alves, Fernandinho, Fred, etc. and start building around the youngsters. Looking forward to seeing more of Lucas Moura, Coutinho, Marquinhos, Bernard. Absolutely. We have some very exciting players who you've mentioned, we also have Oscar who despite being the biggest disappointment in recent history for me still has the potential to be a future great.
  8. Let slip. Spain offered him money, no pressure and hoes for the rest of his life. We can't match that.
  9. Look at those names, man. Cuthbert Ottaway, Arnold Kirke-Smith, John Brockbank. Can almost smell the tweed. Those tactics doe Scotland clearly set to spoil the game with that 2-2-6 Can we have Diego Costa back? I'd love to have Thiago ''back'' as well.
  10. Rather play 7 games in a World Cup than go out crashing in the group stages in last place without winning 1. m8 f*** that like, we just politely disappeared from the tournament and our fans got on with enjoying a world cup, you just got your back passage absolutely f***ing ripped to shreds by a bunch of wide-cocked Germans. You're going to be walking with a limp for at least a decade. Sounds like we got the same treatment as Nasri's girlfriend. Biting It only works one way I see.

  12. Brazilian put this on facebook. Brazil has Neymar. Argentina has Messi. Portugal has Ronaldo. Germany has a team. No idea if it was his, or if he took it from someone, but that is just so damn accurate.
  13. Absolutely not, was trying to point out that what happened came out of nowhere, it was more Brazilian black out than amazing German football. Because no matter how good anyone is, to score 4 in 6 minutes in this stage of a competition should be impossible. Well near impossible after last night. Not taking anything away from Germany obviously, but we should be able to match their best on a good day even if they're a better team.
  14. He was, but so was the whole team, even Özil had a very good game until his missed one on one.
  15. Possibly, but let's not forget Barcelona got shell-shocked by Bayern over two legs and then Bayern got the same treatment by Real Madrid. People are trying to analyse a game that is quite impossible to understand. It just happens, this is what makes football, football. Horrible feeling to be Brazilian, but at the same time I'm proud to say that at least the stadium and the attitude towards the German team and German fans was excellent yesterday. People congratulating them and they being able to walk around safely after a loss, something you probably wouldn't even see in a league game in many places around the world.
  16. Ah fair enough, yeah they're a better team on paper but not becasue they left £35m Götze on the bench, I mean we left £30m Willian on the bench. They're just a much better team that has played competitive football together for 6 years or so now, while we have been stuck with friendlies.
  17. Then again you're flabbergasted by anyone that isn't van Gaal. Scolari admitted he was wrong, we all know what went wrong, but 4 goals in 6minutes in a World Cup semi-final is always a freak accident. It was a 6minute blackout, collapse, whatever you want to call it. We could've been down by one or two and then fought us back, but the players seemed confused on the pitch, nothing was going their way and Germany just kept pounding us as we were trying to understand what was actually happening. I wonder what happened to our intensity from the Confed, apart from 10-15minutes against Chile and Colombia we haven't actually played with intensity in this tournament which made us beat the team last year in the Confed...
  18. They DID outclass us and they WERE better than us at EVERY position. The stadium stood up and applauded the far superior team last night, it's not like we as fans applaud anyone when we get beaten. We got beaten and beaten well and deservedly. We've not been good, I just hope the team shows what they're capable of on saturday without any pressure. I agree, but what can you do when you're down 5-0? Organize the defence? We played better than them early in the second half again when he put 3 central midfielders and they were unable to pass the ball as much. I had a Newcastle - Arsenal feeling for the first 10 minutes as we created two or three dangerous chances, but it was never our day and the better and probably best team in this WC beat us deservedly.
  19. Of course, why not, we've played before with him without Thiago and done good. Was all a freak accident.

  21. http://i57.tinypic.com/2uqllzp.png I'll leave it at that. We were the better team for the opening minutes in my opinion. I know it's just a minute for minute update, but at least it shows I'm not PLAIN wrong.
  22. Fair enough if that's your opinion, we were better until they scored the first, after that we lost it. And yeah, that feeling is terrible. Appreciate the sympathy, you've always been a classact Shak, compared to Dan Sorry, but that's just plain wrong. That's my opinion. Just re-watched the first 10minutes to see how the game really was as inside the stadium it was pure blackout for 90minutes.
