Football 2014 FIFA World Cup - Part 1

[Asarii]

There is a bronze medal given tho, if there was none it would be like the European Championships, there is no medal given there and they don' play for the third place.

Really? Hmm, I didn't know that. themoreyouknow.jpg

I guess I'm perplexed by giving out bronze/third place medals for tournaments. It's either you win or you looooseee!

I support brasil today out of pity. The netherlands will not care that much about the game when brasil desperately need a win. Brasil losing this one would be cruel

Brasil losing this one would be cruel

I'm supporting The Netherlands then

 

[zelllogan]

Lucas wasn't selected because he never played well for the national team.

_____

Cuadrado should be nominated to MVP.

_____

Young Players Awards nominated players:

Depay, Pogba and Varane.

Cuadrado did an atrocious last match. You can like the guy but the only colombian to remember is James Rodriguez.

 

[Sky]

Kroos or James for MVP, Neuer for best keeper.

Kroos or James for MVP, Neuer for best keeper.

I'd say James for MVP, but I actually don't think any of the three nominated keepers should win. Neuer's certainly played well, but he hasn't been spectacular. The opponents have had limited chances on goal and have, in fact, scored with their better chances. I do think that, while quality, Neuer's save on Benzema's shot was a tad overrated. On the other hand, Germany's in the Final. :P Quite often, the best keeper award goes to the country that wins the title.

I'd pick maybe Ochoa or someone, but he's not an option.

 

[Sky]

Well you shouldn't forget his saves against Brazil, Algeria, etc.

And how do you know they were never tried and that they fit Scolari's style?

Scolari himself said that he takes all the blame for the loss...he also takes the blame for things such as tactics and player selections...etc so you've got your answer. But as the head coach, it's good that he has assumed all of his responsibilities.

I know, now let's go full circle and read your first post.

First post here but I must say that I don't understand why Lucas Moura and Philippe Coutinho were not selected for Brazil.

Scolari is shit.

 

[Akainu]

Meanwhile in german media, the consensus seems to be that there is an underlying problem Scolari is but one of the signs of. If that is the case, even a team with strong players might have it difficult in 2018 and onwards - if they actually are picked

Brazil

 

[TheMoa]

lol, nice going Brazil

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Lol, that was a freekick and red card, the ref gives a penalty and yellow card, this represents the referees at the WC really well

I love the atmosphere in the stadium, so silent

 

[zelllogan]

It should have been a red too. Referee didn t take his responsability

 

[TheMoa]

yes, a red card, but it wasn't penalty

 

[Hardy]

yes, a red card, but it wasn't penalty

At 6 mins (or wtv), I prefer a red card in the other team than a penalty lol.

 

[Sky]

Brazil still in the same condition. Still the same chaos pressing... Let this end, please...

This time the ref is robb(en)ing Brazil. Pun intended.
Then again looks like van Gaal wants to break our record already. Brazil is dead.

 

[TheMoa]

Can they make it to 7 too?
