Bit disparaging and innacurate about £50m PSG man David Luiz there, op.

and look at how Mexico dominated the whole first half against Netherlands right now. I get that they play mostly by letting the opposition possess the ball and counter-attacking, but still they barely had any chances.


This game is utterly irrelevant and has nothing to do with how good the teams are. It's entirely about how hot it is and how badly the dutch are coping, they're doing stupid bullshit and chasing people everywhere.

and other euro teams have done much better in similar heat at this Cup.


No they haven't, we haven't had a match this hot yet. They're doing stupid stuff because they can't think straight.

If the temperatures are this hot in the other games we may as well already rule out every remaining European team.

Well, my bad then. Places like Manaus normally are worse/on par than/with Fortaleza, but if you say so I believe it.

tbf manaus has been so bad they've decided never to play there again and nobody is buying it

$50m/£40m per game. Fortaleza today is dreadful though.

No, the high was 32/33 celsius. And lol at using a game where the Dutch outlasted and won the game late against Mexico as evidence of how the heat will destroy the Europeans.

Nope, the high was 38.8 on the pitch. And yeah, once mexico also tired Holland had better players.

Thiago Silva remains a loving beast and that break where Fred lost the ball was one of the most composed pieces of defending I've ever seen. Stares down three attackers and just points where he wants everyone to run to without turning around or moving. Then blocks the player off, attack dies.

Fabiano was quite good at that point no? Certainly better than loving Fred.

I wish we had Garrincha like when Pelé was out in 62 :qq:

You weren't winning games in style anyway, Thiago Silva is a bigger miss even though his replacement is less of a step down than Neymar-loving Bernard.
