  1. We know its a dive but its also a penalty Then Fred's is also a penalty, as the defender puts his hand on his shoulder.
  2. I'm definitely not one to speak, but that is a fucking dive in my opinion. He's smart, but there's no way he can't stand on his leg there.
  3. Chile really didn't have many opportunities that is true, worrying for you was the fact Sanchez won quite a few aerial battles. You can still win the whole thing, but you are not even close of reaching your potential. Good thing is Scolari seems to drop Paulinho, who has been awful. Fernandinho should start, and is Gustavo suspended from the QF? I seem to remember him getting a yellow yesterday. Yes he's out. Will be interesting to see. I'd bench Oscar and put Paulinho on. Play Paulinho a bit more free infront of David Luiz and Fernandinho with Dante in the CB with Thiago. Think Paulinho has been lost because he's had to cover so much. I mean Fernandinho who has excellent fitness went out after an hour for cramps all over. Doubt we'll see that but I think we need an extra midfielder. Rely on Neymar and Hulk offensively and hope Fred scores like he usually does when it most matters.
  4. http://canchallena.lanacion.com.ar/1705470-polemica-en-el-maracana-el-codazo-de-yepes-a-forlan-dentro-del-area Wasn't a low cross, was a cross. You can see it there.
  5. A low cross came in to the area, and he stepped back with his elbow towards Forlan who fell. Didn't actually get him, but they started arguing and Forlan chested him and all. Yepes was quite lucky because he stepped back instead of going for the ball and if he hits Forlan and the ref sees it it's a penalty.
  6. I was only repeating what you said
  7. She's showing her support for Chile with a Chile bikini. No wrong in that
  8. A women has lush tits I can bury my face into? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I knew that was coming I meant in terms of respect.
  9. What he did to Forlan though, was lucky he didn't actually hit him, because that was just plain stupid.
  10. She's got a lot of respect for herself. Nice tho. Women. Respect. Seriously though, what's the difference between that and a guy without a shirt?
  11. Not sure if NSFW but anyways, same Chilean journalist as Tooj posted but this time this morning.
  12. That Vidal pass for the only shot Cesar saved. What a fucking pass and save.
  13. I'm talking about individual mistakes. Not general mistakes as most goals occur then. Every goal conceded has been due to an individual mistake either in a mistake itself or positioning like a 12 year old. I agree with you, but we controlled the game yesterday in our own way, we didn't invite pressure on us, what we did was to force Chile to play long balls. I thought the marking was excellent and without an individual error we would've won 2-0 by countering in a goal at the end when they'd have to force a bit. Our zonal marking forced them to send longballs that were dealt with easily. We've showed that we play differently depending on what team we play, I hope the pressure loosens up a bit now so the players can perform a bit better, felt like they had tons of bricks on their shoulders yesterday and were feeling the pressure. Against a Germany or Argentina side there's no way we'll let them control the game, I expect us in games like that to play like we did against Spain in the Confed by putting pressure from the off, something that is impossible to do against teams like Chile. Right now I have a hard time seeing us beat Colombia easily and am expecting another difficult game, but if we turn up and play the football we have been under Scolari outside of this last month than I'm confident we can beat them with ease as their midfield and defense is extremely vulnerable to players like Neymar and Hulk. I just hope Fred can keep Zapata or Yepes occupied because until now we've essentially played with 10 men.
  14. Yup, Townsend is a terrible player IMO. Poor mans Laurent Robert. To even mention them in the same sentence is disrespectful A terrible player? Townsend's basically a better version of Jonas when we bought him. £14m is f***ing ludicrous, like. Imagine us never spending money and then Ashley chucks £14m on Townsend. Jesus Christ.
  15. It's hard to get going against a organized teams. Mexico will sit and invite Holland to play, don't think they'll break them down easily as their goals have come from counter-attacks in the World Cup. Really think Mexico have enough to beat them but am going with yet another R16 extra time loss for Mexico. Two teams sitting off then. And Robben to grab an ET goal.

  17. Yeah, that's exactly what I said and that was exactly my point. Fucking TDick got Willian to miss a penalty as well.
  18. So you think he's been diving? I'm talking about this tournament, I know he likes to throw himself on the ground otherwise regularly.
  19. If he's out they don't have much of a chance IMO. He's not going to be out, he's no doubt, it's just mind games. He's got a swollen thigh. For all the diving people talk about Neymar he's been standing on his feet quite well this tournament which has resulted in plenty of naughty challenges. The one by Aranguiz early in the game which caused the injury deserved a yellow. People said the same about Spain last World Cup. Beat Portugal 1-0, almost went out to Paraguay before showing up in the semi-finals. People don't give credit where it's due. For all the praise Chile gets, Julio Cesar made ONE (!!) save all game. We're playing extremely poor, but advancing which gives us time to make it right. We've played decent and organized teams, which all put that extra shift in to be the team to beat the hometeam. I'm not defending this team fwiw, there's no defending for the showing we've put on. Only Neymar, David Luiz, Luiz Gustavo and Julio Cesar gets praise from me for the World Cup this far, but we've conceded 3 goals, all from mistakes, none of them were normal goals which tells me if we cut the mistakes out we shouldn't even draw the game.

    Soccer.

    Is this the type of fan you've guys been talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMFe-zJ_AFo Seriously, fuck is that :lol:
  21. 'Sticking by' is an understatement to the extreme. They very actively backed him when he abused Evra. They're an abhorrent club who continue to support an abhorrent human being. Fully expect everyone to forget it until he inevitably commits his next appalling incident in La Liga. People will probably then claim Liverpool 'did so well' getting rid of Suarez. Argh. A f***ing disgusting club with a disgusting player. He's a disgusting player, but an abhorrent human being is going a bit far. Everyone reacts differently under stress, pressure and different moments, that doesn't make him an abhorrent human being for that. For all we know he might be the best husband, father around just that like most footballers when they get onto the pitch with adrenaline many lose any sense of self-control. Coutinho was interviewed on Brazilian tv and said that Suarez and his family took him in when he first arrived that they helped him the most possible to settle in, he did however admit (without saying) that Suarez has a screw or two lose even during training, but that off the pitch he is a great person. Suarez reminds me of the article I read about players being interviewd saying they'd be willing to die in five years if they were allowed to win the Champions League the upcoming season (or something to that extent). That mentality is scary for the outsiders, but that is what they live and die for, winning games. Suarez is mental on the pitch, and had he been a man he should've just admitted his mistake and taken his ban which I believe would've been lighter. He knows he did wrong as he was the only one not celebrating after the game, I just believe that he and the staff believed it was the best to deny and that maybe they could escape a punishment because he's a ''star''. Glad he didn't, even if I'm of the opinion the ban in terms of what it represents is excessive.
