here's some more goodies:quote:There’s a conventional school of thought that places blame on the ideology of Brazilian football itself. According to this argument, the irresistibly likable paradigm of jogo bonito gave way to a more brutish style of play. In its rush to win more trophies, the country stopped producing transcendent talents like Pele and Ronaldo; it began fielding effective goons like Fernandinho and Hulk. As Brazil lost its capacity for manufacturing creative players, it squandered its comparative advantage.

Crazy Ted posted:Also everyone always talks about THE SAMBA FOOTBALL even though that poo poo basically died about 20 years ago when they won the World Cup by winning every knockout-round match 1-0 and then the final on penalties after a 0-0 draw. And now Brazil's basically just a football colony of Europe anyway. They didn't even have a token dude from a domestic club team in the squad. Fred and Jo both play in Brazil, as do both their reserve goalkeepers. Fred's pretty much a token striker anyway.

This is the only thing in this thread that has almost made me feel bad for Brazil. Disenfranchised/shocked men? Easy to laugh at. Sad and crying children? No problem laughing. Crying women? Sure,  . A cute old man? Awwwww.  Crazy Ted posted:They didn't even have a token dude from a domestic club team in the squad. And yes. Germany play some entertaining/quality soccer/football, an easy way to the hearts of neutrals.

I think FIFA should give Germany the honour of hosting the 2022 World Cup in honour of their services to football.

Brazil are what you might call a "critics team", there's always a lot of talk about how brilliant they are from commentators beforehand but they never deliver on that front. There's more teams like that in the cup, but Brazil has always been the biggest and people buy into the hype. So watching them come crashing down like this will hopefully smash the myth.

rope kid posted:The online odds were always listed dramatically in Brazil's favor using data apparently compiled by people who didn't actually watch them play any matches over the past 3 weeks. Even this morning, without Silva or Neymar, they were favored heavily. I don't think anyone expected THIS result, but it was annoying to see IMO unfounded confidence in Brazil taking it all. I bet on Germany at 19/10 and Brazil were 17/10 at that time, so they were favoured by the bookies but not that heavily. Bet365 paid out my bet on Germany at 40 minutes lol

maninacape posted:Besides Germans rooting for their national team, why is everyone here so excited to see Brazil lose so badly? Are they villains? Brazil (Scolari) fielded a team with weak and critizised players on several positions and expected to win the World Cup because they are Brazil, and play in Brazil. Because Brazil. They came this far through less than stellar games, partly by bullying other teams (with the help of referees) and by luck. It was obvious that the team was far from stable but they hobbled along, with complete denial, hoping that being Brazil would be enough to win the Cup. But like Icarus, this mess of less than spectacular players cobbled together with wax and dreams, flew too close to Germany. Winning against Colombia through foul play finally paid back, as their only decent players were out. Their hopes and dreams melted as they were slaughtered in what is likely the biggest football massacre in the lifetime for most of us. It was a mix of delicious karma and the punishment of hubris, delivered by a never ending Teutonic whirlwind. It was art.

Bookies also tend to play silly buggers with their odds on occasion to more easily relieve people of their money. No sensible person who's watched them play in this World Cup should have considered Brasil to be favourites. Also lol Brasil.

No sensible person who's watched them play in this World Cup should have considered Brasil to be favourites. They might have used to do that back when your choice of bookie depended on where your closest one was. They were gonna get customers anyway, they can afford to screw with the odds in their favor. Now, people will pick the place they get the best odds online. That means the bookie's odds have to very very very closely approximate the statistical odds, to remain competitive, and that lowers the margin for error. These days the odds are so close that with operational overhead, you have to predict the odds in a one-on-one matchups right on average 54% of the time as a bookie to turn a profit. This might not sound like much, but best statistical models running on what are pretty much supercomputers barely manage that. Trust me, they aren't playing with their odds, unless your bookie is the mafia.

What did Fred do to earn the ire of brazilians, btw? I mean besides being a garbageman, but that can't be it, cause there were 9 more garbagemen on the pitch
