2014 World Cup Thread

Can't wait for a Slate or Buzzfeed article written by some swpl complaining how dreadfully white the world cup final is.

Our precious brown brazilians lost!

Klose broke the Brazilian's WC goals record in Brazil against Brazil. That's cool. But it's even better because Ronaldino is a tool, and Klose is classy.

I wonder when the rioting will begin, all that money for 1:7

Ps if Argentina lose tonight they will play Brazil for third place

Brazil beat themselves with the awful selections, tactics and mentality. Too much fawning over Neymar and not enough attention paid to Germany.

Germany were nothing special and that makes this result both a little scary, but equally a bit of relief for whoever they face next. Argentina and the Netherlands both have much stronger defenses as well as better attacking players and much more solid gameplans. Germany will not have it easy against either of them like they did today. They did not have to work for a single one of these 7 goals. Brazil literally gave them away with the shitty defending.

Brazil needed a loss like this though. They haven't been an elite team for sometime now and this puts them back in their place. Now they need to assess, rebuild and make sure something like this never happens again.

Germany were nothing special? That was a clinical performance.

Germany were not spectacular in the least bit. They never got out of 1st gear because Brazil never forced them to. This what they'll do to any team, big or small, that defends like Brazil did yesterday. It was a glorified training match.

Say what you will about Ronaldo, he always found the net when it counted. The other Ronaldo, Messi and Rooney, not so much.

Klose deserve the record, he's a genuine talent and sniper.

Brazil was awful and had no depth at all.

That's nonsense. Nobody else was gonna carve up Brazil like that.

Ronaldo played with great midfielders who put the ball on a plate for him. He's over-rated.

Don't know about overrated. If you play 3 World Cups that a maximum of 21 games. Getting 15 in the net...that's something

Watching some of the shellacking again...Brazil was so bad on defense, they stopped playing defense. There's Pee Wee players with better ball sense.

Is Lio Messi in the game right now? Did he get subbed out 10 minutes in and the announcers forgot to mention it?

Either that or he's doing a fantastic Houdini impression right now.

This Holland-Argentina match has been the worst of the tournament thus far.

Both teams have little interest in scoring.

Amazingly, as boring as this game is, it's still more exciting than watching Brazil get destroyed by Germany.....

 

[TheOldSchool]

I was just debating with my friends the replays of the last 2 chances Argentina had, and it was getting pretty heated, when I had this thought that completely put it all into perspective...

...how much better would this be if it was even just a regular season NFL game? Lol.

 

[TheOldSchool]

Penalties. It's anybody's game now.

No way. I enjoyed that. It was historic and simply unbelievable. We may never see anything like it again.

Nope, disagree.

Both Argentina and the Dutch would've opened them up just as easily because both of those sides have attackers just as dangerous as Germany's. Brazil just weren't good enough defenisvely. Not one of those goals were remarkable (maybe Schuerrle's 2nd as the exception) because they were put on a platter by Brazil's awful tactics. Germany literally scored 6 tap ins. It was a shooting gallery.

In honor of Germany's upcoming WC Title over Messi.

I hope not. It was horrid. and all the crying......no thanks!

My God! that toddler is a dwarf, right? he has to be ...babies don't act like that!

 

[Toro]

I'm hoping Germany wins simply because Argentina have been so dour and boring, which is a crime given that they've got more attacking talent than any team in Brazil.
