General

I said it before the cup even started. I told everyone Germany, my favorite team would win. But noooooooooooooooooo everyone told me Brazil would win. Well look at what we did to them

the german goal was impressive. messi's goal would have been good but the ball went of course.

[quote=Ecliptic]@WontPostMuch: 1 defensive mistake means a teams overall performance is unconvincing?[/quote]

That's not what I said at all. Unconvincing also doesn't mean I think they're bad, just that for all the hype they got, they didn't seem to have many decisive victories or truly outstanding plays.

haha messi so bad. as if he's the new maradona. flop flop.

I'm amazed how close TS was with his predictions.

@WontPostMuch: 1 defensive mistake means a teams overall performance is unconvincing?

Agreed with @wontpostmuch

Stats don't mean much if all your shots on target go straight to the keeper

That one shot by messi though.. You could literally see the Germans sigh in relief ahaha

>still not convinced

60% possession
10 shots (7 on target) vs 10 (2 on target)
64 dangerous attacks vs 30 dangerous attacks[/quote]

Oh come on, Germany had a pretty embarassing defensive mistake early on but Argentina just blew it. And most of the really clear chances seemed to come from Argentina. Germany didn't play badly but most of their chances didn't seem as clear as what was squandered by Arg. I conceded they had great control of the ball and there's no question about them being a dangerous team, but a lot of their performances just seemed average and I can't help but wonder if Germany would have been able to react had Messi or Higuani not just derped at crucial moments.

[quote=WontPostMuch]I'm still not convinced by this German team. It felt like if Argentina had been more on their game and actually defined, Germany would not have had an answer. They had good control but just seemed lackluster otherwise.

That said what a beautiful goal.[/quote]

He really redeemed himself after his disappointing games. Beautiful finish

Brazil 0: Netherlands 3. not sure if i should laugh or cry. maybe i'll cry of laughter
edit: ...and game over. Brazil couldnt even land 1 goal, but at least they werent slaughted too badly like last time.

[quote=bloodIsShed]Germany vs Netherlands would have been pretty fun too[/quote]

yeah and oh my god argentina vs colombia would have been amazing, the rivalry between them would make it supa intense hehehe

Germany vs Netherlands would have been pretty fun too

[quote=bloodIsShed]how did Brazil even managed to get to top 4 with such a crap team?[/quote]

Refs and Fifa is a business so they had to push such a "prominent" home team forward- that's my honest belief anyway

Colombia vs netherlands would have been a much more exciting game imo

how did Brazil even managed to get to top 4 with such a crap team?

Oh Brazil

This is so fun to watch, to watch them writhe and suffer- they didn't deserve to make it this far, and now the whole world knows this to be true

Silva is a scumbag, he should have been ejected for that play- let's go Netherlands, score 2 more to make this baby at least 4 to nil

i thought Brazil was going to lose 2-1. i was wrong.

No dive needed. He is lucky that wasn't a red, Silva was the last man back.

This time it was a legit penalty and Thiago Silva deserved a red

2 mins into the game tap on the shoulder, red card, GOL what

Argentina advances on penalty kicks vs. Netherlands. Well... at least I got the final four teams right.

no neymar + silva. gg. This game could have been A LOT worse, heck brazil fans should be grateful how they kinda eased their game in the second half. If Germany kept on attacking them like they did in the 1st half, 10-0 (or 10-1).

Pretty happy Klose got a feat finished in 3 games...I guess it's gonna be a great day for fans and players to get wasted. Just call this revenge against sweden in 1950 guys.

7 - 1, good enough for me, atleast they got a goal

Netherlands isnt that good. Even if they win against Argentina, they have no chance against Germany

7-0 Germany is slaughtering Brasil, I hope the final match is Germany-Netherlands and that Netherlands can win.

this is the perfect opportunity for German players to increase their goal count

qq qq eeeek 0-7

And if Colombia had rightfully won (Yepes wasn't offsides, slash every single bs call against Colombia that game), James would have had a chance to score another goal.. I'd see him scoring one against Germany despite a Colombian loss

Also lol @ Brazil flopping around trying to get fouls called on Brazil. This ref isn't buying any of it and I most satisfied

Brazil stop trying to fake your way into penalty kthx
above: the one who scores the most goals deserves the golden boot, and Muller have enough time to score more goals than Rodriguez
edit : 2 above

This is absolutely pathetic, oh how wonderful you are sweet karma

It's almost hard not to feel bad for Brazil.... Buuut I don't mwahaha

[quote=bloodIsShed]1 more goal from Mueller, and he'll be tied with Rodriguez as the top goal scorer. Muller might actually get the golden boot (which he deserves)[/quote]

Let's be serious James Rodriguez deserves it.

Brazil's Neymar is like Mueller from Germany and Messi from Argentina. w/o him, Brazil attack is pretty much non-existant

[quote=OnlineMusic]If theres an opportunity for goal they will try to score but theyre just taking the ball away and keeping possession. Brazil has no creativity in their offense to be a threat.[/quote]

People say Neymar is overrated but his offense presence one of the main reasons why Brazil's offense is known to be very formidable. Not to mention without their team captain Sliva, their defense is somewhat laughable.

1 more goal from Mueller, and he'll be tied with Rodriguez as the top goal scorer. Muller might actually get the golden boot (which he deserves)

[quote=LokiTheStrange]Nah, the players probably want to increase their personal goal count.[/quote]

[quote=OnlineMusic]Germany is just messing with them, there is no need for them to get attack, get reckless and loose a man due to injury[/quote]

They asked the ref to not give a handball in the box....

They are jogging

first half is now over, with Germany scoring 5 goals against Brazil
i know, Brazil is handicapped, losing Neymar and Silva, but still...

RIP in many many pieces Brazil.

Germany is just messing with them, there is no need for them to get attack, get reckless and loose a man due to injury

at this rate, Brazil is going to lose 10 - 0 or worse
