2014 World Cup thread

[dasty]

It is not just about the shots on goal. The build up play is painfully slow and laborious. I am not saying they are ultra defensive but definitely been the most boring team to watch this World Cup considering other teams play a fast counter attack.

Yes, they are painful to watch and IMO is the worst team of the last 16.

It's just that people keeps thinking that this Greece is ultra defensive, and I don't agree with that. They are definitely a lot more adventurous compared to their 2004 counterparts, although that doesn't mean they are any better. Their gameplan is no longer trying to stifle their opponents.

What are your bets on tonights games?

I hope Brasil-Chili is gonna be penalties.
And i think Colombia will win against Uruguay (3-0).

I put my money on Chile. Brazil didn't wow me with their game, they were pretty average.
And if Columbia play like they played in the groups, Uruguay will be demolished. They don't have any hope of winning this without Suarez

I am hoping Brazil stay in just for the tv coverage of the hot brazilian female fans.

But in the 26 games that Brazil played against Chile in home soil, they won 20 and drew 6 without a single loss. The last 9 games that Brazil played against Chile they scored 32 goals. So I'm going to jump on the Brazil bandwagon after looking at those statistics.

Neymar exageratted tackle too much and he ended up hurting himself. Brilliant.

Fred is properly gash

Fred is properly gash

If he can play international football there is hope for all of us!

 

[epic terrorist]

That was a brilliant 45 minutes second half will really open up when both start tiring

 

[Dokara]

C'mon Chile, you can do it!!

 

[Smithy7]

Yeah such an entertaining end to end game, hopefully will continue in the 2nd half

 

[IanC]

I did read somewhere that Brazil would get the rub of the green from officials being the home nation. I guess they never accounted for Howard Webb.

Got 11/2 before the match on chile miles too long, brazil was unbackable really at 8/15 this is gunna be nip and tuck till the end I think, Chile growing in stature as it progresses I think brazil look stale

 

[dasty]

Great first half, terrible second half

 

[Dokara]

Wow, Neymar truly is a magician. He went missing for 45 minutes, nobody could find him...
****, lost my bet, if Chileans hadn't pulled back, they coulda have won this in 90 minutes. Now i have a bad feeling, Brazil is gonna get lucky and go through to QF.

 

[Smithy7]

This game has penalties written all over it!

 

[Subtle]

Holy **** that Willian penalty was awful.
