blackhawkrush Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Europe has a chance for three teams in the semis. It would be a great accomplishment, competing on a foreign continent. :madra: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod in Toronto Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 For those who are watching the game live: notice how hot it is - around 30º Celsius. And it's WINTER in Brazil! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 By the way, I'm rooting for France today, simply because if they and Brazil go through, they'll face each other in the semifinal. My wounds from losing to France in 86, 98 and 06 are still not healed, and I'd like Brazil to win France in a WC game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah Hummels. France eliminated, now let's see how the Brazilian boys are doing tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I don't have high hopes for this games, greyfriar, even though Brazil has only been beaten by Colombia 03 times in almost 100 years. Let's see if Brazil at last delivers the "jogo bonito". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphseeker Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Oh boy, did Brazil deliver today!!!!At what cost though? No Silva / No Neymar against a pretty strong looking German Team. That knee to Neymar was the dirtiest play I've seen this year. It frikin fractured his vertebrae. Edited July 5, 2014 by alphseeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That knee to Neymar was the dirtiest play I've seen this year. It frikin fractured his vertebrae.It didn't look all that terrible when it happened but Neymar had problems with his back lately. Anyway, they say he won't be able to play for a few weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yeah, Neymar is out for a few weeks, and the yellow card to Thiago Silva was just silly. We have already won a World Cup even without Pelé, who was injured on the very first game of the Chile World Cup in 1962, but back then we had Garrincha, the second best player in Brazil of all time. Who will be able to replace him this time, we are yet to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Costa Rican goalie playing great so far! Not sure the Ticos can overcome the physical Dutch squad. They just grind people down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Love the commentary calling Robben (Hood) out for being a cheater. EDIT: Looks like Robben's reputation as a diver may be hurting him. At 34:00 he got taken out and yellow card was given. :applause: Edited July 5, 2014 by goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Around minute 61:00, a foul in the box by the Dutch that went uncalled. More of a foul than what Robben was awarded against Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Netherlands really pressuring now. The Tico keeper proving to be the star of the match so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 At 1:02 a horrible call of hand ball against the Ticos. No blood, but the Dutch keep getting the calls from the referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Costa Rica just can't get their advancing passes on target. No real scoring chances. Of course, the Dutch are great at getting to the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
