Greg Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 no riots yet? Seems fine here in Sao Paolo, everywhere very quiet, people just shell shocked and a very big police presence. Oh and I'm in the posh bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 My avatar. Come on. Some admin take it down. This forum has reached a new low with a forced hitler yao. Whats the media reaction like over there? Whole team/manager vilified or specific targets? As funny as the whole Fred thing has been I did kind of feel bad for him with the reaction he got when he was shown on the giant screens after been hauled off. The Fred thing was horrible I thought.

Incognito Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm alive, disappointed but at the same time impressed by our six minute collapse. I'll live with banter but theres a poster or two on here who have gone over the line. I'll post from my computer from my 'tin house' when I'm back home. Sitting in a hotel and fair play to the forum name Hang in there, man. You may have a long ride on the banter bus in front of you. Have to say though that despite some idiots the Brazilian fans showed class inside the arena. Stood up an applauded the Germans after the 7th, applauded the team after the game and kept singing. Unlike the british who always embarrass themselves in international tournaments unless they're in a country where they know cowardice will backfire. Ooooohhhhh Bit of a cowardly comment tbh. And totally false. I understand it's tough to take a complete bumming in a home World Cup semi final and fail to win a home World Cup for the second time but it's ridiculous to try and turn it on us who have only needed one home World Cup to win one.

Revolution Number 9 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Watching that made me wish we had been in a group with Brazil. That must have been one of the worst performances in any semi-final of anything ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Good to see you're still alive Flip, taking the bants and dishing out. I can only imagine what it must have been like to see that scenario unfold as a Brazilian inside the stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Said all along that this was the worst Brazilian side in many years - they proved it big time last night although all credit to the Germans for an excellent performance. This defeat will haunt Brazilian football for many years and will have the same effect as the 7-1 hammering England took from the Hungarians at Wembley in the 1950s....we never again believed we were the world's best footballers and apart from a brief Indian summer between 1966 and 1970, the decline has been constant and irrefutable. In some ways, Brazil's humbling was worse because it is one thing to lose 7-1 in a friendly at home, but quite another to do it in a WC Semi-final with the whole world watching on live TV..... Many reasons why Brazil is not the power it once was, but basically, they haven't got the raw talent anymore. Germany have developed youngsters and have a well-run league, unlike the over-priced and over-rated Circus that is the PL and their disciplined performance shows what is necessary to win at the top level now.

Beren Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The saddest thing is I think it could have been a respectable loss had Brazil not bought into their own hype and chased the game so arrogantly. Brazil should have been the one to be sitting 11 men behind the ball and only attacking on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 There's been a certain mystique about Brazilian football which dates back to the Pele era, and which has survived a few disappointments since. I think this defeat will have buried it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Tim Vickery made an excellent point though saying this might finally stop the Brazilian hierarchy resting on their laurels and talking about their 5 World Cup wins as an excuse not to do anything. Change needs to happen and this might be the catalyst for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 There's been a certain mystique about Brazilian football which dates back to the Pele era, and which has survived a few disappointments since. I think this defeat will have buried it. Was thinking exactly the same. There has been many times that countries have been beaten by Brazil before a ball has been kicked. This result may put that to bed. They've had some of the very best sides in history...This one doesn't even deserve the same label as their predecessors.

Very excited about the prospect of Hiddink taking over from Van Gaal. I think he will have us playing better football, and the experience these young players gained this month will be invaluable.

Unbelievable Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Nigel de Jong back in training. If there's one player I absolutely hate seeing in the next match... Fingers crossed he makes it, because we have a much better chance with him sitting deep breaking up play. One of the best in the business in what he does. Vlaar also a major doubt for tonight, and Van Persie and Janmaat have been ill the last couple of days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
