2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[Perducci]

I still can't stop smiling after the result tonight. The look on David Luiz's face...

Just saying but, the US only lost to Germany by one.




Just saying, Brazil.

I did Nazi that coming.

Of the four, I guess Netherlands would be considered the underdog, but you can't root for them and have a soul simultaneously.

I have a soul

Football is officially dead to me if Netherlands win tomorrow.

I'm kind of hoping they advance so that Germany can 12-0 them in the final.

I forget, why do we hate the Netherlands?

The absolute worst divers in the tournament, commanded by none other than the king of divers: Arjen Robben.

Agreed on Arjen Robben being a sneaky diver but in previous tournaments I reckon the Portugese were worse and I think Suarez takes the cake in this tournament.

What would Luis Suarez want with a cake now that he's got the taste for human flesh?

Christ. I've been looking at football all my life and that is the strangest match I've ever seen. It must be down to the expectation of the country that they kept pushing people forward and were so desperate for a goal. The Germans literally walked the goals into the net. Brazil's heaviest defeat ever.

I have a monstrous 5e on Germany since the start of the WC but I actually felt sorry for Brazil in the end.

[Psychotic]

I don't feel sorry for any nation that has such a sense of entitlement to win as Brazil did. Yes, I know I'm English. And I want to say thank smurf it was brutally beaten out of this nation over three or four World Cups of abject failure. It's awesome now everyone realises how awful we actually are. Brazil will learn to appreciate it too in time.

More than that I've enjoyed the media eating trout though. Ooh, the ~*~Selecao~*~ (a word I'd never heard used to refer to Brazil in the UK before this World Cup and I've still yet to see a regular football fan call them that) we all want them to win it despite losing their hero Neymar, oh what a wonderful story it'll be!!! Piss off.

It reminds me of Ghana in 2010 and the ridiculous coverage that got, and how we were all supposed to want an African team to win the African World Cup because it help's the media's inane narrative. Enjoyed the handball from relatively unknown Luis Suarez in his pre-supervillain days, though maybe that was his being bitten (ho ho ho) by a radioactive werewolf moment. Absolutely loved seeing ITV's howls of rage and the indignant outrage of their pundit Desailly (the man who cares so much about his native Ghana he chose to play for France) just as much as I've enjoyed seeing their beloved Selecao brought low.

Incidentally, here is a post I made after the Uruguay v Ghana game. Four years on you can swap Argentina for Uruguay and it is no less true.

Frankly Holland could play Dirk Kuyt, just Dirk Kuyt, and win 10-0.

In fact Dirk Kuyt could declare war on the rest of the world and win.

Uruguay will have to get 5 of their players to man mark him I think.

I don't even watch soccer but 7-1 will definitely goes pretty far in Brazilian soccer history.

Ooh, the ~*~Selecao~*~ (a word I'd never heard used to refer to Brazil in the UK before this World Cup and I've still yet to see a regular football fan call them that)

I've heard them called that every World Cup in my lifetime. Just like the Italians are the Azzurri, the Dutch are the Oranje, the French are Les Bleus, etc.

[Psychotic]

I've heard all of those. What are England called out of curiosity? The Three Lions?

[Old Manus]

I thought it was Woy's Boys?
