That ref was special. Literal back breaking fouls, and the cards were all bullshit (except for Silva who is a giant idiot).
Well regarding that yellow...

As much as I don't want Getmany winning, gently caress that appeal. Dude charged the goalie like a moron, the yellow was automatic and deserved. And gently caress him for saying that he was running back to defend and couldn't avoid it, that's just horseshit. At least own up to loving your team over

That appeal is pretty much just pro forma. There is no cost to it, even though it is a long shot, so most teams will try it in the rare time this happens in a single elimination tournament. Real appealed Xabi Alonso's yellow that kept him out of the UCL's final.

By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if Brazil played its best game of the WC this tuesday. Not that this means that they will win, but Brazil with Neymar was really predictable and easy to defend, as he is good enough to destroy the Croatias and Cameroons of the world, but not so much against tougher opposition.

He was quite good for a few years, then turned in to a little whiny baby, then broke completely for a whole season. PSG offered Milan 30 million for him right before he turned in a total crock and then we ended up selling him for 8 or something. Im still mad.

A lot of people blamed Milan's medical staff but it turns out that he's just not fit all the time now.

hey, if it weren't for him we might be talking today about how leonardo led inter to an incredible surge for the title in 2011. a true hero, imo.

The CBF says Santos' doctor and physio went to Neymar's house and recommended them to infiltrate Neymar so he could play a hypothetical final and they are PISSED because if he had followed that recommendation then his career might have been ruined or even his ability to walk in the future.

Santos are obviously still pissed they only got like 30m out of the Barca deal.

Same.

538 and various other bullshit stats merchants outlets still have Bra as favourites, but, I'm having trouble seeing it.
I had that foreboding/trepidation coming into the tournament, and this really put the icing on that cake.

If it does all go horrible, I'd prefer Argentina to take it, over Germany.
In either event the England tears will be great. Potentially England stop singing, two world wars and one world cup. (unlikely I think)

I can't abide Robben/Holland and I'll be super happy if they slide into 4th.

Don't get how people are ripping on Brazil's team. Their strikeforce sucks (though I have no idea how good their Brazil-based backups are) but their midfield and defense would walk into most top national teams. Even without Neymar and Silva they still have a solid spine. I'm of the impression Scolari just isn't setting them up very well.

Normally I am pretty indifferent to Brazil winning, but Brazil playing their best game without Neymar would be great.
