Village Idiot Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Argentina aren't a real team. If Agüero can play and him and Messi have a blinder then yeah, but as a team Netherlands are comfortably superior. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Brazil deserved this for not playing joga bonito in a World Cup on their home soil! But jokes aside it's ridiculous how the Brazilians made the game all about Neymar. You would have thought Neymar had just died last match with all the pre match shenanigans. The whole team wearing white caps with his name and holding up his shirt during the national anthem. Embarrassing really. He's 22years old and in his first World Cup ffs. this. Utterly cringeworthy. The guy is obviously an outrageous talent, but he's done nothing of substance in the game yet. Holding up the shirt was also disrespectful to any injured player who might or might not have made it to the world cup squad. Embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe it.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Days like yesterday can happen to anyone, Brazil just didn't turn up (it was almost like they were collectively paying tribute to Ronaldo's 1998 final appearance). However.... if that had been Germany vs Cameroon for example, a non-performance like Brazils would have had match fixing allegations written all over it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 An "interesting" stat that keeps cropping up: In the 4 World Cups he's played in, Klose has scored more than the entire England side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It's funny, when you just have a glimpse at Muller he looks so clumsy, the way he runs and controls the ball etc, but after that glimpse you realize the intent, subtle skill and driven footballer that he is, you just sit back in awe... Total footballer for me! Also thought Sammy Khedira playing a little bit further up the midfield was awesome, he was never allowed to do this for madrid and was used as a defensive pivot in front of the defense, nice to see he has other attributes. Also feel a bit sorry for the Brasil fans. P.S. holland to stick it up the gypsy cheatin' barstewards and to bum them into oblivion!!! (For you youngsters out there: In a world cup many moons ago there was a vertically challenged romany beatnic of argentine origin who cheated against our boys. Since then, the said vagrant has gone from bad to worse, so no pardon should be given!) P.P.S. Forgot to mention their pathetic banner carrying antics before world cup! Only reason i would actually keep the Falklands is because they are a nation of tw**s. Yours Truly, Alf Garnet's Cousin; Buzza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Forgot to mention, they have the most stupid accent and way of speaking ever heard (in Spanish) e.g. it is a mixture of sighing and speaking pronounced by a highly pitched depressed person. I am glad I am backed by the rest of latin america and Spain in my stereotyped view of this lot. COME ON HOLLAND! (wow, I'm impressed with my own world cup rage and grudge bearing!)

Neil Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 For me, this tournament has seen Khedira etch himself into the very top bracket of central midfielders in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixx Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 That midfield of Khedira-Schweinsteiger-Kroos is frightening. Haven't seen much of Bayern but holy hell Kroos is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think although their win vs Spain was extraordinary, it's easy to forget they could have been almost down and out at half time in that game, whereas Brazil looked ripe for a pasting from the start yesterday.

Disco Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Holland are nowhere near as good as Germany like. Think it'll be cagey as fuck tonight personally. Yup. Two relatively poor teams with 3 or 4 magicians sprinkled amongst the 22. Either way, they won't go down like a bunch of self indulgent cry babies like Brasil did last night, they at least kick their way to a respectable defeat. Is RvP definitely out - think Huntelaar may actually be better for Netherlands in this game because of his aerial strength and while RvP has been decent he hasn't been stand out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 We don't need arial strength tonight, we need pace on the break. True but RvP wouldn't offer that either. My thinking was I think Argentina are very susceptible to a set piece and will be liable to concede a lot of FKs in the middle/final third. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You have to laugh at how Germans have been labelled efficient or mechanical down the years. They might not have flair players like Messi or Neymar, but they play really good passing football for the most part. Far more than Brazil have this world cup under Phil Hoofball Scolari.

Disco Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Kroos was absolutely sublime last night, was like watching a really old school number 10 at times, fabulous awareness and vision and with a range of passing and shooting off both feet to compliment it.
