What I saw of Brazil in this tournament shocked me. They were simply dreadful. The Germans gave them a real whipping,and it was great to see. Brazil need to go back to the drawing board and relearn what they are/were good at. Their general behaviour was most un Brazil like. Well done Germany,you were awesome.
Brazil made Germany look like Titans, yet this was the same Germany that could only draw against Ghana? Yet Brazil have been destined for such a result, their game has been going down hill for years, maybe the Germans have done them a favour, but their manager must go, he has not sellected the strongest Brazillian teamâ¦.. Hell of a one sided match, all down to a crap defence, they need to grab the coach from Costa Rica!â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..
Incredible. I fancied Germany for a 2 - 0 and thought they'd win comfortably but that was just unbelievable. I never thought I'd see a Brazil that bad in my lifetime. I guess the magic and mystique of Brazilian football is well and truly down the pan now. The obvious thing to say is Germany should win the final but I suspect it's going to be very tight. I just hope tonight's game is just as much fun
The only good thing to come out of this for Brazil if you can call it a good thing is now the fans and media can see what others around the football world could see and that is Brazil are not the kings of football that they have been for years and years, The Brazilian country as a whole were too complacent and relied too much on the past and they were stuck in the mode of invincibility. Well they now know that changes need to be made and a big shake up is needed and it wont surprise me one bit to see them come back stronger than ever because whatever you say Brazil is a great footballing nation with a hell of a lot of talent and this humiliation will hurt like hell but at the end of the day it was needed and some good will come out of it im sure...
The inept shape of the Brazilian defence must go to Scolari, and also the selection in depth and it's lack of quality, I cannot see him keeping his job, better that he does the symbolic honorable thing and resigns!â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.
All this talk of corrupt officials in Brazil is being very suspiciously mirrored on this board... Both mods "luckily" drew the finalists or wangled ownership of a finalist? WTF! We even have a confession... A full and transparent enquiry must be implemented at once! Who is your paymaster Mr KIA? Holland could make the final you say? Glam, you're getting shafted
Agree DragonPhil - Scolari should do the right thing and go and I suspect he will do just that at the end of the Tournament after the playoff for third. Sneaking feeling Holland can do it tonight. Messi will have three on him for the whole game so let's hope that's enough.
I think FIFA will be desperate for Messi to be in the final. If RVP is fit and plays I fancy the Dutch if he doesn't play I think Argentina will sneak it.
So hard to call this one. RVP could be a massive loss to the Dutch though. Di Maria's out but Aguero's back, some balance in fortune for them. I still have this feeling that Argentina will still play better at some point... and time's running out! Well that fills me with confidence... which one of you is Sepp?
