Beats me how he gets into their team tbh.

well he aint looked that good in the last 145 minutes of football I have seen him play

as Jim would say

50,000,000 my arse

Awful refereeing, the guy's getting hoodwinked by diving all over the shop. Robben really is a horrible cheating sh*t. And I dunno how a free kick can be given (for Maicon) when the attacker knocks the ball past a defender, then runs into the defender who's just stayed still.

Brazil the worst team in the tournament? Who'd have thunk it?

Worst Brazil team of my lifetime- FACT.

very poor

And when there was a stonewall penalty, the ref books the fouled Brazilian for diving

To avoid choking I'd suggest finishing your brekkie before reading this:

What would be most concerning to me if I was Brazilian is that this team, based on their performance last Tuesday night and again last night, seem to have gone back light years since the last World Cup in 2010, let alone since they last won it in 2002. I know they didn't perform that great in 2006 and 2010, but they never put in such inept performances at those World Cups as they have done in the last week.

President Dilma Rouseff must be the most worried lady on the planet. She is almost certain to lose the upcoming election

Its been a disappointing World Cup and if Argentina win, it will be the icing on the cake.

 The next one in Russia is likely to be terrible and hopefully fans would have got fed up with all the corruption and corporatism at the heart of modern football by then and refuse to buy tickets.

IIRC, that was how the Germans won the World Cup in 1990, which was converted by Andy Brehme minuted before the second Argentine (Dezotti) was sent off and all hell broke loose.

Glad Holland won and will be able to tell a tale  of Blasting to shame of the Brazil mob...

As  for the game tonight then it Will be " Deutschland Uber  Alles "   or something like that .... 

 “If an English player is booked in a World Cup semi-final, and it means he can’t play in the final, he starts crying on the pitch,” said Didi. “If it happens to a German, he puts it out of his mind and then scores the winning goal. One player is thinking about himself and the other his team.”

Excellent point

There is that as well , but he does have a point. The looney Geordie was thinking about the Final

This World Cup is the 8th one I have watched with the first being Mexico '86, and I would rate that one as being my favourite mostly due to the exploits of a certain Argentine No.10. 1990 and 1994 weren't bad, although I think the latter was probably the better of those two as there were more by way of high-scoring games in 1994 than in Italy four years earlier. IMO, the World Cups going back to France '98 have been generally dull and while each has had its moments, none of them have come near the likes of 1970, 1982 et al for sheer entertainment.

I have a cousin who celebrated his 44th birthday a couple of months ago and can remember seeing every World Cup going back to Argentina '78 and in his view, Spain 1982 was the best World Cup of the last 36 years. If I had been old enough at the time to have remembered that one myself, I would probably have been in agreement with him on that one.

Germany just about edging the game with Pig climber pulling the strings in midfield.
