Unbelievable

God damn Rich, you have so many riding on a Argentina clean sheet. If Klose scores the opener it's +10 for me, and 10 clean sheet points dropped for you. The hope!

God damn, we could have been here..

Hummels, Hoewedes, Boateng, Lahm, Kroos, Mueller, Klose ©. Left Neuer on the bench.

Good counter attack that

Klose © to score five please..

Changes made nice and early. Back to 694 points.. Jo, Ramires, Willian, Maicon all out of the team. Shame I don't have enough subs or I would have ousted Maxwell too. What a bunch of useless, spineless fuckers..

Yes, you're all looking smart now with your squads full of cheap Dutch defenders, aren't you?

Oh God, why did Brazil not do what it was supposed to do FFS?

FC Porto bound.

You're spectacularly wrong. My assumption was Brazil would want to show their fans the semis was just an incident, and Holland traditionally are not interested in this match, so my squad was crammed with these useless Brazilians..

It gets worse. Van Persie more or less admitted at least one Dutch player will follow Van Gaal to Man U.

TBH Holland didn't exploit anything. It was an early set back which set the game tempo, with a good ref neither of the last two goals would've stood. They deserved the win for the tournament they've done, and for the way they defended. It's a good thing you're not blaming the ref.. The ref was s**** for both teams. You should have had a pen, but we should have had another, Silva should have been off, and Robben should be one on one after that Silva slip that was called a foul by Van Persie. Where did I blame the ref though? I'm just saying you're team didn't exploit anything and yet you deserved to win. Like I said, the ref missed on Silva, should've been a red and a free-kick, but I think he gave a penalty so he didn't have to send Silva off. Also, you should never have had a 2nd penalty, was quite clear a handball by Robben when Fernandinho went onto him. Anyways, not blaming the ref, just saying that the scoreline doesn't really reflect the game in general, still think Netherlands are a much more deserving team to get that bronze than us. We aren't even a top 8 side in this World Cup. Really? I didn't see a hand ball and I don't think anybody else on here mentioned it. I'd have to see it again, but I have my doubts.

Maxwell on Dutch television saying Brazil was far behind Germany and Holland tactically. Doesn't sounds like he rates Scolari.

Van Hooijdonck touting our man to Man U on Dutch telly

In all seriousness, as I've said before, he's very much like Debuchy, better going forward than defending. A good header, full of energy, decent pace and cross. Good replacement.

Based on how many games? Give over Ron. I've seen him loads. Can I say it pretty please?

The Vikings strike back!

Van Gaal (jokingly I hope) said to Robben he should join him at Manchester United..

Instead of playing the likes of Sammy Ameobi and Papiss Cisse you mean? I wonder if you're as dumb in real life as you're in here tbh. This is what Ronaldo lives for man.

Credit to the Brazilian fans for sticking around and applauding our team.

From the players? We have a solid base, Thiago and David will get four years (hopefully!) together at PSG and will be an experience richer after this. Marcelo will still only be reaching his 30s. Neymar, Oscar, Bernard, Willian is an excellent base to build around. Luiz Gustavo will be reaching 30 as well. So we have a nice base, it's all about finding the right way to fit them all, it's painfully obvious that we've lacked in midfield and not because of the players but because of the system. We've played two midfielders against 3 in every game and have been raped consistently in the middle. Have players like Doria, Lucas, Coutinho who should go onto great things, it's a matter of finding a #9 again, we need to look into the youth and see why there isn't one, we need to re-invent football, maybe go back to the four #10s from the 70s. We need to go back to the beautiful game, we had 8 years now of destructive football and counter attacks and we didn't win a World Cup so we need to go back to OUR style. We finished 4th, which considering our performances was heck of a result, but considering our squad and expectations were an incredible disgusting embarrassment.
