Shame that didn't go in, what a rocket.

Can someone just break Robben's ankles. Diving prick

 

[Han Shot First]

Van Persie with a Giroud moment.

Holy **** RvP. Another airshot to the repertoire.


They're going to slaughter him if they **** this game up.

 

[TheOXOCube:5pur2]

Van Pussy

What in the **** is going on. Supporting Holland in a WC in a nutshell... same old same old.

 

[Han Shot First]

Van Persie misses another sitter.

 

[gent]

Based on his performances so far Robben easily has another 4-5 years left at the top. His stamina is amazing. As quick as ever, defenders can't handle him, but he hasn't had the support today.

Another post... what a ****up this is turning out to be. Most one-sided draw I've seen in a long time.

 

[Han Shot First]

So, did i really just see Holland swap keepers just for a penalty shootout? Cillisen must really suck at Penalties.

Very poor sportsmanship from Krul.

 

[Krome]

I really hope we don't end up with a Brazil vs Netherlands final..

FIFA apparently reviewing Thiago Silva's yellow card. If they reverse it **** this World Cup

You're only giving up on the world cup now? Made of sterner stuff than me.

Have too much faith in Germany to quit now.

If it wasn't for the Germans, i'd probably have stopped watching, only problem is that Loew is a loser. Whenever the Germans have gone out of recent tournaments, it's typically his fault, either by poor tactics, poor starters etc.

It was the most blatant of yellow cards, the result will be corrupted as far as I'm concerned if he's allowed to play

How the **** can you change the rules in the middle of a tournament ?

World Cup 2014: Brazil have little flair, says Joachim Low

Germany coach Joachim Low believes the current Brazil side have little of the flair traditionally associated with the country's national team.

"They're playing more robustly than any other team here," said Low.
"There's little left of that traditional Brazilian style of football. At the end of the day, it's up to the referee to come up with the correct punishment."

Midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger agreed with his manager's assessment.
"I am all for a healthy hardness, but some of Brazil's fouls were over the limit," he said. "Brazilians are not only football magicians. Hard tackling is part of their game. We have to be careful and so does the referee.''

Interesting comments from Low and Schweinsteiger. Anyone else agree with the comments? I think they are correct but I suspect they are trying to pull some gamesmanship out too. It makes for a more interesting semi final.
