Where did i say he does? You're grasping straws now. Just because Messi does all other teams don't? Is Messi playing for Brazil? I'm sorry but you cannot be taken seriously. Messi does dive however, just very rarely. And he makes a foul now and then, like grabbing faces. But in general he's a very fair player. But the debate wasn't about Messi, you just tried to use him as a lightning rod for the discussion. I hope you have better arguments.

He has about as much an argument, as Brazil has a defense, that is none.

 

[Sayad]

OMG! The Brazilian meltdown here is glorious.
Also, did Brazil break a world record as the team who received the most goals in a single world cup? 14 goals is quite the achievement.

 

[KHlover]

Brazil is the third country to concede 12 or more goals in a single world cup, the others are North Korea and Saudi Arabia.

My sides.

Ten of which in two matches. I don't even

That's totally not true though...

 

[Matush]

Brazil is at least champion of singing the shit out of their national anthem. They were way too overmotivated at the beginning of the each match.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Ref did one thing in favor of Holland. He didn't give a penalty tho Oscar dived but it was hard to see.

Silva was red, Silva slipped.
Maxwell was red
Hernanes was red, probably.

Brazil got a lot of free kicks for basically shit.

Illegal goals? Karma for 1994 bitch.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Do I give a shit if Brazil dives? Nope. I know they dive, but Robben turns tournaments around with his dives and it influences other players to fight back with dives.

He's a disgrace to the next generation of footballers.

Nobody outdives us at home home ya see. Myea /mobster

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Lol

Van Gaal saying to Robben you can always come to Man United.

 

[Toxi]

Lol at Brazil fans complaining. The ref freaking spared you guys another 7-1 by not showing Thiago Silva a red card.

The only deserving team to win this tournament is Germany. Argentina is still yet to play a single exciting match and our squad was just too average to get a winning streak going that's long enough to see it all the way through.

Argentina not playing exciting soccer is probably what saved our asses this world cup. :-\

No medal or anything ceremony on CBC :-/

 

[Always-honest]

Proud of the Dutch squad.
Truely deserved and too fucking bad they didn't make it to the final.


Really really bad ref. this game.

But awesome to see the Brazilian fans applaude for the Dutch team.

 

[ambientmystic]

Fair play to the level headed Brazilian posters in this thread who've stuck around to face the music after their team's 2nd defeat in a row to a clearly superior Dutch side.

Dutch side played to win today, which is rather funny given that Van Gaal was quoted as saying that they didn't give a damn about today's match.

As for you Brazil (the poster), I expected better from you. You were a lot more calma after the German trashing but you seem to have lost your composure today.

The final awaits, go Schland!!!!

 

[CaseyTappy]

Good job Holland, you didn't lose a game in regular time !

 

[RoySFNR]

Robben gets the shit kicked out of him every single game. He fluffs up the fouls on him, but almost all of them were actually fouls. There hasn't been a single turnaround dive in the whole tournament forced by Robben so I don't really see the problem.

Wow that's one of the most pathetic answers, even for GAF standards. Oh it's only really a foul if it has a huge and direct influence on the game? Super salty, zero credibility.
This is the most absolute pathetic part of your comment:

and it influences other players to fight back with dives

Here you cleverly try to make it sound like the other dives are also his fouls. But i'm not stupid. You're bordering trolling now, except i think you're serious.

 

[LNBL]

First squad in the history of the WC to use all 23 players in the tournament.

 

[ChapaNDJ]

Tomorrow is gonna be tense.

It's good that Argentina's not cocky. They lose games when they're cocky.


That's the good thing about this for Brazil: It's going to make them wake up and realize that their current approach isn't working.

That's because the cokehead Maradona was an arrogant cocky prick and we got owned.

 

[The007JiM]

Congrats Netherlands for the 3rd place. Really enjoy watching many of your players (Vlaar was my favourite). I'm not a big fan of Van Gaal but he did a nice job reading the tactics of every match.

 

[Ganzlinger]

that girl wanted it so badly. straight denied.

She wanted his shirt. lol

She was so desperate...

 

[kubus]

Super proud of Oranje! It has been such a great WC for us.

Louis bedankt!

Don't let them get you, playing boring means nothing. Like we say in Germany: "Offence wins matches, defence wins titles". Both of us majorly had "boring" matches. Looking forward to beat you 1-0 after a standard tomorrow

Spoiler

Painfully aware the same could happen against us ;-;

 

[Kssio_Aug]

God, awfull results. Me, as a brazilian, am very disappointed. But really, what a horrible selection of players were chosen! I can only see one reason for that, that is the same reason of almost every problem Brazil actually have, the damn corruption. Most of these players (the most obvious is Fred) were there only for politicians reasons, they were there for the golden opportunnity of a World Cup... there are other Brazilians players that could have been there palying a much better game.

 

[Syntsui]

HAHAHA

Yeah, it is. Two illegal goals, two blatant penalties ignored by the referee plus a third one with the handball.

Well, whatever. Yes, I'm salty. Not because the Dutch needed the shittiest referee ever to beat our shittiest squad ever, but because we should be a million times better than this. Thankfully, this squad will go down and a better one will rise in its stead.

While the Dutch fly back home thinking about all those World Cup titles they'll never have, we rest easy knowing that even after being massacred on the semifinal everyone's jelly as fuck because we're the only ones with five fucking stars on our shirts.

See you next time, haters.

And thanks for the great World Cup, Chileans, Colombians, Ticos, Mexicans, Americans and Nigerians. Good times!

Go Germany.

Keep living on the past. It's this mentality that is destroying brazilian football Cup after Cup. ''Oh we are the best still, so fuck you. We are PENTA suck on that''. I'm brazilian.

 

[Jebuss]

Sorry brazil we be celebrarin tonignt...and i be celebratin already

 

[Roland1979]

WOW

 

[Jacobi]

LOL Netherlands even didn't give a honest shit. But it's good that way, Brazil will emerge like a Phoenix from the ashes and get the football team they deserve.

 

[GameAddict411]

Brazil needs to completely reconstruct the whole team, keep the salvageable and kick out the rest. The coach needs to go too and everyone with him too.

 

[CTLance]

No medal or anything ceremony on CBC :-/

You really want to see Blatter touching the players?

You didn't miss much, really. They just all walked past Blatter who put the medals around their necks, then they walked over to a FIFA worldcup thing to pose for a picture, and that was it. Kinda boring.

Hes usually a good poster, but this is probably too much to bear. I know how bad it is to get knocked out at home, but this was humiliation which is far worse. Seeing how football crazed they are its understandable.

But Robben has no hair!

Mobile app game commercial, first time I've seen one of those. World Cup at that.

Is it filled with salt instead of candy?

 

[PodcastFips]

I don't get how the media collectively creates the statement, that Argentina and Germany are equal. Days before the semi-final between Germany and Brazil, the situation was the same even though everyone secretly knew the Brasilians would not have a realistic chance of withstanding the German team in any aspect.

Nothing has changed, Argentina has a few good players that are dangerous if you let them play their style of football. But this is something that just isn't going to happen against Germany with a team consisting of 11 talented and experienced players who need to fight for their place in the starting eleven every game. Germany is going to dominate the game in the same manner like we did in the last 7 games (except the first half against Algeria) and Argentina's only chance is a good amount of luck. Mark my words, we'll be seeing a clear 3:0 win for Germany.

Edit: Yeah I'm a little early maybe, but the media coverage of tomorrow's game that just happened pissed me off.

 

[KingJolly]

Hhahahaha, Brazil lost again?!?!? And without Scoring a goal.


Where are the people saying Brazil would win this cause they were playing "For teh people" and Holland doesn't care about 3rd place.

 

[Always-honest]

Salty tears.

A team can only play as well as the quality of the squad allows. Both the Netherlands and Argentina understood this and a top three ranking for both of the countries is amazing in itself. Germany is just on a whole other level.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Hhahahaha, Brazil lost again?!?!?

I thought that the results COULD have been different for that reason. But I see now that nothing can save a bad squad.

 

[godhandiscen]

Hope Germany wins so I can post: Argentina, Decime Qué Se Siente....

Losing a final is a completely different feeling from being humiliated. You are right in asking how it feels I guess.

 

[LNBL]

Brazilian players are such professionals, leaving the pitch immediately after the game.

 

[SargerusBR]

 

[Roland1979]

Oh, before i forget it:

Brazil is getting better, they will equalize in no time if they keep up like this. Netherlands defense is not that good.

While the group stage is completely different from the knockouts, Ghana was still able to tie Germany. They're not unbeatable.

Just close.

Whatever happens tomorrow, i'm proud of my team and what they achieved.
So you wanna know ''Que Se siente''. Se siente bien llegar a la final.

Win or lose, i'm satisfied with this world cup and its been a hell of a lot of fun.

[MBR]

I just saw some replays of the German 7-1 goals and situations.

There's no way they won't win.
They've got such a good first touch. No wasting precious touches "gaining control", no. Lots and lots of first touch passes everywhere, thus their defence is always ready to act, since they see exactly when the GER offence fails.

 

[Always-honest]

Oh, before i forget it:

Bwhaha. What they wouldn't give for either Vlaar or De Vrij.
