2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

[Loony BoB]

Wasn't it the Roses or something? I forget. I'd never heard of the Brazilian one before either, though.

I think Brazil are far from "awful", in all honesty. They're still one of the best teams in the world. It's not exactly a disaster. Well, that specific game was, sure, but against a Colombian side who have been from all accounts fantastic in this tournament, Brazil were awesome to watch. I think that Brazil will go through periods like that which England goes through, where they try to realise exactly how it is that they were not able to win the World Cup.

What everyone seems to forget is that only one team can win the World Cup and in a shocking twist, it's only every four years and there are a lot of teams that are very good. I wonder if the likes of Germany, France and Italy go home crying when they only make the quarter finals or something and then start this long period of soul searching and nitpicking of their team and all that? I mean, come on... Brazil made the semi finals. It's not a disaster for them. I can somewhat relate because of NZ and their history with Rugby World Cups, but at least there are only about five teams capable of winning that contest any given year! With the World Cup there are generally about ten that or more that could realistically win it and the other nine shouldn't start crying because the didn't happen to win it.

Germany do, yeah xD See: Euro 2000. After that debacle they put into place wide-sweeping reforms that they're reaping the benefits of now.

Not if Alain Rolland has anything to say about it.

In light of recent events, this video has a different meaning

The reason why Brazil is butthurt is because the last time they hosted the World Cup they lost at home and it became this huge national tragedy (no seriously) and they wanted to avenge that and instead they got even more destroyed.

Not saying they're in the right to make it a huge deal, but that's why they, well, are.

Scrub like Messi is lucky he gets to stand on the same pitch as a hero like Dirk Kuyt.

I was just about to post about this guy! Highlight of what thus far has been a really bloody dull match.

"Dirk Kuyt must score or they're out" "OH NO DIRK I CURSED YOU WHAT HAVE I DONE" *nails it* "Well of course he did "

Maxi is a beast too though so I don't mind, and Mascherano was immense.

Utterly boring troutfest of a game. Argentina haven't been entertaining at all. I hope the final isn't like this.

Uhhhhhh guys I think you're forgetting the VERY IMPORTANT matter of the third place playoff first.

[Dat Matt]

It seems almost every time you make someone your sig, they lose. Nice going, Psychotic.

Plz don't do germany, I want them to win.
