Kanj Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I seriously love Rodriguez - leading up to the goal I was saying out loud "get him the ball, he wants it." Bad pass cleared headed back to James, chest turn boom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Can't muster any sympathy at all for the "But Miss, other boys..." angle at all. It's exactly the kind of punishment to be expected for biting someone, for the third time, in the middle of FIFA's flagship competition, with aggravating factors like zero remorse and trying to deceive the referee through feigning he was the victim. Not excessive, doesn't demonstrate any outrageous inconsistency, completely deserved, entirely his own fault. Malicious, calculated, devious, cowardly. Just like the person behind it. Increase it for the frivolous appeal, the sport is better off without him. Best post on the whole incident. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Brazil has been poor. Can't see how they can beat the Argies nevermind the Germans. One man team up front and Scolari hasn't found a right XI. Hulk was ok yesterday, but other than that he has been poor. And still he managed to get an assist to Chile's goal. There is a good chance Cuadrado and Rodriguez will run riot against that defence.

Beren Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 For the sake of football its a shame both teams couldn't have progressed when you think of who will progress from tonights game. Yup, feel very bad for Chile - should have been a semi-final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Neymar an injury doubt for the quarter finals according to the BBC. 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. Brazil has been poor. Can't see how they can beat the Argies nevermind the Germans. One man team up front and Scolari hasn't found a right XI. Hulk was ok yesterday, but other than that he has been poor. And still he managed to get an assist to Chile's goal. There is a good chance Cuadrado and Rodriguez will run riot against that defence. 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.

Just rewatching last night's game again now and Brazil were actually much better than I gave credit to them for live. The pressure from Chile is relentless until perhaps the last fifteen minutes of normal time, but Brazil matched them for intensity and had much the better chances.

Mexico have been outstanding and are better at the old 5-3-2 than your lot, but you obviously have a pair of world class players up front when they definitely do not. It's their wing-backs/wider central midfielders that could win it for them, which is where they're stronger. Back threes much of a muchness with slight edge to them, maybe? It should be mint either way. Cue 0-0 borefest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Mexico will not be strong enough at the back if Holland get going. In the Brazil game you could argue that Brazil never really did get going, if they did they would have been able to break Mexico down with ease. Holland will beat Mexico by at least 2 goals.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Don't underestimate Mexico's defense, they have only conceded one so far and despite the hype over Ochoa(which is deserving) they haven't really given up that many chances over the 3 games.
