The football (soccer) thread
Offside, but really who cares… (Edit: Well aside from the fact that it means that both goals came from refereeing errors (though not giving a red card is totally understandabl, even though it probably was red, I think 95% of refs wouldn’t have given one at that point of the game))
I feel like it’s showing that Holland complaining about how bronze match doesn’t matter was them just being sore losers as usual. Brazil, on the other hand, their game really looks like they don’t care Whether it’s because they really don’t care of some other reason…

They’re professionals - it’s perfectly understandable to say that you’re disappointed and that the third place match doesn’t mean much, and then to give it all on the field when the match comes.

Sure, but I’m really tired of how they whine after every loss That’s one of the biggest reasons why I really dislike this current Holland - their attitude is all wrong, too many of them lack certain aspects of sportsmanship expected of adult professionals. I’d love to like Holland, but with the current players, I just can’t (and where’s Emmanuelsson? He was the only one I liked last time).
But it’s true that the 3rd place match is purely for the audience.
Its WWE it surely is for audience.
Looks like you cant touch Robben anywhere, he will slip into penalty area and claim
a penalty. Other goal was offside.
Ugh, Robben is spending more time lying down than actually playing. Again.

You know, there really should be Ronaldinho in the head as a kind of game building striker (a false 9, is it?). Fred and Jo do nothing anyways, and so the lack of speed that Ronaldinho nowadays probably has wouldn’t matter, but instead they’d have amazing game building skill up there, a great shooter, a great 1-on-1 player and a great penalty shot. Brazil desperately needs someone there who can actually hold the ball, pass intelligently, make space, do something unexpected. Right now they’re just without any ideas and almost always doing the expected, even doing the wrong passes. You know.
And Lucas Moura instead of Hulk.
I mean, aside from Neymar (who was clearly even more important than everyone realized - everyone knew he’s important, but apparently he was the Maradona to Brazil), who do they have who’s a real goal-scorer, or a real game-builder?

Kaka, Robinho… The thing is, Scolari had a trashing of Spain at Confederations Cup 2013 in mind, and decided to go with the same squad. But that cup didn’t feature Germany, Holland…

Brazil is being robbed big time…
Wow worst referee of the tournament so far.
Right. Though I thought I heard Kaka was a bit injured or something? But I probably just misheard. (Still, could’ve opted for someone instead of Jo since it was Fred who did the scoring in the Conf. Cup. Then again, it’s clear now that Scolari isn’t a great tactician or one for any new ideas). Anyways, that’s exactly what I meant, there’s no one in the team, but a few people who were left out
One moment when Brazil seemed to get an idea, some nice passes, but that blew off again.
I wonder why Holland isn’t playing that third goalie. He’s the only one in the team who hasn’t gotten any playtime. Would’ve sounded like the fair thing to do (after all, Brazil has a lot of the low-playtime players in, though Holland has the top lineup…) Besides, it’d be pretty cool to have everyone been on the field. And since the bronze doesn’t matter
Great, Oscar gets a card for filming, the next moment the defender is down because he injured his knee in his tackle Great refereeing again…
(Edit): Oh great, Hulk in… Anyone feel like there goes the last hope for Brazil? I do not get why the Finnish commentators are always so excited about him when he does nothing except lose the ball over and over again.
Then again, it’s clear now that Scolari isn’t a great tactician or one for any new ideas). .
That is basically the big problem with Brazil!
Someone to make them play instead of running around all over the place
Edit: and that’s 3-0… Another humiliation!

Don’t know about him but Goalkeepr was complete dud, no idea where to
jump, shit awareness and reflexes.
Holland’s Blue kit was awesome.
Tommorow Messi has to show his best of best or bust.
A deserved final result, despite the poor refereeing. Brazil is really weak, and Scolari is an outdated trainer. If Brazil is to recover from this, they’ll need a full overhaul of their entire football association…

Saw preshow hype Adidas will hit its target 2 billion something if Germany wins.
The whole Business layer above the game at at lower level makes it look like some
business entertainment and not sport. So unlike Tennis
Also hardcore Stats favoring Germany.
Okkk, let’s goooo -
sorry Agustin
