So on a scale of 1-10, how corrupt do we think the officials will be in the Brazil-Colombia game? With fair reffing, there is no way Brazil should be able to beat this Colombian team.

I'm still assuming they're trying to fix a Brazil v Argentina final, hence those 2 teams getting some very favourable refereeing decisions
I reckon Colombia is good enough to beat Brazil even if the refs are corrupt.

I bet you believe 9/11 was a CIA plot.
 
Nostradamus predicted it thusly:

In the year when the numbers add up to seven
Reyman, wearing a cloak of yellow
Will get a dodgy reffing decision
And put a pen past an Argie fellow

Also, @theIlluminati accidentally tweeted that Brazil will win 1-0 tonight <yikes>

I thought he wrote :-
When the numbers add up to seven
The man of green who does not like anger
Will beat those who own the islands that Maggie took
Big Paul will be happy
 
Fred diving already.

The constant whistling from the fans in Spanish and south American football pisses me right off
 
Another ****e goal from a set piece, this is why i'm certain they're going to win the thing
 
Nostradamus was ****e, he never predicted that water bottle under Gary Lewin's ankle ... <whistle>
 
Quadrado reminds me of Kanu or Gervinho, never really looks like he has the ball under control

Gerv maybe, but Kanu was likened to having ball retention like a hockey puck
 
Get Jackson Martinez on, tell the ref to stop falling for all these non-fouls, and tell the Colombian coach to make his team not play like bitches and press the Brazilians
 
He had had a habit of getting past defenders without looking like he had any clue what he was doing

All part of his game. Gerv was like Bambi for us. But Kanu was very deliberate with his touches.
