2014 World Cup thread

The Germans will silence the whole of Brazil come tue,riots wiil erupt if they go out ..
 
That injury could very well impact on Neymar's whole career now. If the ref had started to clamp down earlier on then it might not of happened. Massive blow to Brazil and possibly gives Germany an edge as I can't see Hulk, Fred or Jo inspiring Brazil upfront.
 
I have the belief that Costa Rica are going to beat Holland today. Argentina will knock out Belgium. It is all heading for another Argentina v Germany final like in 86.

Two best players missing the game, if Germany turn up at all they should win it.

Fred doesn't move, Jo looked horrid and Hulk does little but blast the ball over or wide.
 
World Cup starting to look like Eurovision. If Brazil wins this, they can shove it up. A lot of people say the WC is better than the UCL, but i don't see such an obvious attempt by UEFA to crown a certain team each year.

I wouldn't say it was biased, it was just generally poor refereeing.

That first goal Brazil scored was very bad mistake for Columbia, you'd see that on Sunday league football let alone professional.

Brazil played 5 games so far. Name 1 big mistake against them.

Real Madrid is Uefa's favourite team by a long mile so the argument you put across is irrelevant.

Someone often says this about the World Cup but there is no truth in it just because a host nation is getting through. It is like a normal team playing at home in a league. Yes they have the home advantage and the crowd behind them. That's it.Every host nation has the same accusations thrown at them every World Cup when one of the bigger nations hosts it.

I support Chelsea, but when i was talking to my friends at the start of the last season, i said i don't see past Real in the UCL. They were the strongest team by far. Given the fact that they haven't won this since 2002 if i remember correctly, i fail to see how they are the favorite team of UEFA. Barcelona IMO received the most biased refereeing in the last few years. Also Real won 5 (if i'm not mistaken) trophies in the 50's. So that leaves us with 5 trophies in the following almost 70 years. I don't see how this is favoritism.

Well then you have contradicted yourself. You now say Barcelona are favoured and yet Chelsea your own team beat them in the semi finals the other year when you won it. So how are Barcelona favoured if they lost the semi final. Yet in your first statement you quoted "i don't see such an obvious attempt by UEFA to crown a certain team each year." But then you argue Barcelona are Uefa's favourite.

I said Barcelona received it's more than fair amount of biased referees. Referees are also humans, so naturally they have a favorite team. The last years the whole world was caught up in this "tiki-taka" BS, and that caused the favoritism by referees. Chelsea eliminated them from the semi's in 2012 because they did what was needed to cancel their play style, not because the referees helped them or refused to help Barcelona.
I never said Barcelona are UEFA's favourite. You twisted my words for your likeing. I said referees are biased.
At this WC on the other hand, Brazil seems to have biased referees every single game.
