Flip Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I think the over the top focus on Neymar did hurt them tbh Flip. They basically went out there trying to emotion their way to victory and when it didn't go their way they blacked out and shipped 4 goals in the space of 11 seconds (approx.) There was no way they should have been playing so gung-ho, it was footballing suicide. Sorry you had your own Superbowl moment, I'm very familiar with that feel bro. 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.

TaylorJ_01 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/MOc3lPK.png Look at those names, man. Cuthbert Ottaway, Arnold Kirke-Smith, John Brockbank. Can almost smell the tweed. Taylor.J at full back for Scotland get in. Cuthbert Ottaway, everyone Ottaway read Classics at Brasenose,[2] and, after going down, trained as a barrister and was called to the bar in 1873. He married, in August 1877, Marion Stinson of Hamilton, Ontario – whom he met, when she was just 13, while touring Canada with an England cricket team[7][8] – and practised law until his death, in London, as a result of complications from a chill caught in the course of a night's dancing.[9] The precise cause of death remains a matter of speculation. Diabetes ran in the Ottaway family, and this may have increased his susceptibility to respiratory diseases. It is also possible that he had earlier contracted tuberculosis. was a different time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I was just shocked by the lack of shape, discipline, or tactics/adjustments by Brazil. Nothing was working, and there didn't seem a bit of clue how to get out of it. Soon as it went 1-0 down and the quick 2-0 it was curtains. Felt like watching Newcastle play, the defeated before they enter the pitch type meltdown. I feel for Flip, I also feel for Brazil, I feel for myself having to not get a chance to enjoy a top football match. I also respect the fuck out of Germany for their ability to punish Brazil on every mistake they made in those 6 minutes. Whether it was a a Brazil lay-down or a German execution story is really up for debate -- what I saw last night was just an awful football match in terms of neutral, a master class of execution (many times you see teams not capitalize in those positions) by the Germans, and a poor showing and embarrassment by Brazil and their entire 23 not named Neymar last night.

Unbelievable Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The Germans had more threathening before they scored. They had the break where Muller could have been sent clear by Klose and the blocked Khedira shot. I'd have to rewatch, but I don't remember Brazil doing anything of note until they shipped the first.

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.

Zero Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Different perspective I would say. What I observed was Germany was inviting Brazil to attack in order to make more effective counters. That was Germany's tactic, and it worked --- Brazil seemed to have the control, but it was Germany which apparently had higher chance to score. To be fair, Felipao, it was a no match. It is not a shame to accept the fact that Germany outclassed Brazil in nearly EVERY position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thiago was a huge miss like, arguably more so than Neymar. I read that zonalmarking analysis and I think they got it spot on. Brazil's lack of pace allowed Germany to defend high up the pitch and saturate the midfield. Brazil on the other hand had 3 out of 4 defenders (Luiz, Maicon and Marcelo) who were more interested in going forward than in keeping it thight at the back. The Brazilians lost possession in midfield under pressure and were easily picked off on the counter as the Brazil full backs had left their stations (Marcelo being the main culprit). Scolari wants shot for not making a change or reorganising the defence until half time too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a shame to accept the fact that Germany outclassed Brazil in nearly EVERY position. 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. Thiago was a huge miss like, arguably more so than Neymar.

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.

Guest n4e Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Pornhub pleads with users to stop uploading videos of Brazil 'getting f**ked by Germany' in the World Cup In the world's continuing mission to completely humiliate Brazil in the wake of its 7-1 World Cup semi-final defeat to Germany, adult site Pornhub has allegedly been flooded with highlights of the game. Footage of the goals bearing the title 'Young Brazilians get f**ked by entire German soccer team' (and other more explicit variants) quickly sprang up following the game (at least according to hundreds of screen grabs on Twiter), with the site eventually asking football fans to cease with the gag while getting a swipe in at Brazil itself. "Please stop uploading the game highlights to Pornhub... Our public humiliation category is full. #BrazilvsGermany," Pornhub wrote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first 10-15 minutes it should have been clear to anybody with eyes that Germany were raping you down the left. Why Scolari just sat there and didn't tell Marcelo to stay back and Gustavo to help him out more on that side before that crazy 6 minute spell I will never know. Quite interested what the general consensus in Brazil is about Scolari's tactics yesterday evening. I'm flabbergasted he hasn't handed in his resignation tbh.

Zero Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 No, Felipao, you get it wrong. What I mean is the quality of players, not their performance. Even with Thiago Silva and Neymar, the statement still stands - Germany is much, much stronger than Brazil. Brazil has no more playmaker once Neymar's done, while Germany is putting a 35m rated Gotze firmly on the bench. Looking back, the only way for Brazil to win was to do a "Mourinho Bus". My question, or my point is, would you, a die hard supporter for the Yellow, accept such tactic on your home ground? Scolari "got it super wrong" by trying to overpower Germany purely by emotion and home pressure and was spectacularly backfired. The sad thing is probably he has no choice because no one can accept Brazil to play anti-football, which I think is the only way for Brazil to win last night.

Flip Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 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. gegenpressing yo! 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...
