Hope Brazil wins today.

On a realistic note, I think Brazil team will have a hard time to win Chile and an upset is pretty real. Our team is the worst since 2002. Brazilians and jounalists here are trying to not pass this bad image, but they know the general feeling is what I described. Our league has been shit lately too. We need some new generation of players and change mentality.

If Brazil is out, I hope a south american team wins, even Argentina (they're waiting this for a looooong time!).

 

[Baleoce]

Should be two good games today. My head says Brazil and Colombia, but as Algeria and Costa Rica (and more) have proven, this World Cup is almost impossible to predict.

How is this brazil squad worse than the shit you guys dragged out in 2006.

Your striker then looked like an advert for weight watchers. Although even at that point he still might have been better than Jo.

 

[willow ve]

If Brazil falls today this World Cup will be permanently cemented as the best Cup Finals ever.

 

[Courage]

Brazil - Chile 2-1

Colombia - Uruguay 3-0

Dude relax... Ther's nothing we can do about it. Either we win or we lose. The world cup goes on.

It's time to put some ACDC and HYYYYYYYYPE!!!!

I hope not. I put my whole salary on Holland to beat mexico

if they dont, im ruined. Suicide next but i hope it wont get to that

Besides Neymar, the strikers are a joke. Jo and Fred?? C'mon!!

Though today is the most suited game for Fred. He is only good at aerial game. And Chile defensors aren't tall, so...

 

[Altazor]

Me too, probably slept two hours last night total. And anxious, very anxious. But above all, hopeful. I think we can do some damage today, considering our history there's nothing to lose.

oh, indeed. We have the chance to make history this day. I hope our boys seize it.

Un amigo me dijo que ve los partidos de Chile en un cafe con piernas, dice que hacen tremenda fiesta cuando Chile hace un gol, igual me da paja ir....

Sorry guys, i don't want to translate this xD .

oooh, me imagino la cagaíta que debe quedar xD

 

[criesofthepast]

haha, I wish. Nah, gonna watch the match in a friend's house... I just hope the usual idiots don't decide to wreak havoc if we lose

Spoiler

or, if we win, for that matter

I'm going to brace the cold at least for the first half. I think it will be a once in a lifetime experience to see the crowd. It is usually more peaceful at Moneda than Plaza Italia. Very nice family atmosphere.

My Spanish is ok, not great. I kind of understand what you said. Didn't understand the con piernas and igual me da paja ir part though. A cafe with legs? Lol Girls? Jumping? Celebrating? Boobs?

 

[2 Slice Toaster]

Of course but let's get real if he could get into that German team he would be playing for them. The fact he played for them first speaks directly to what he sees himself as.

It isn't some kind of situation where a guy never played for another team and just hopped on a nation not his own(like that Rossi kid from New Jersey). Jones was clearly a German international before the writing was on the wall.

You need to relax, my fellow American. This hatred of the U.S. team is almost beyond obsession for you at this point, my fellow American.

He was.

2006 Brazil was a lot better than people remember.

Lost to France 1x0 in a really hard fought game. It was a close call.

Why u mad, bro?

2006 Brazil was just too old. Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldo all way past their prime.

Fred's only job is to keep a defender or two away from Neymar.

On paper that team was amazing. But most of them were past it, and they just didn't play with any enthusiasm at all.

Zidane bossed that match, to the point where the Brazilians were congratulating him alone afterwards, almost bowing to him.

 

[lmbotiva]

good luck to the kind people from Uruguay but i hope my team wins

café con piernas (NSFW)

This is actually hilarious because on Tuesday my GF and I walked into a place called Cafe Haiti in Santiago centro for breakfast and we didn't realize until we sat down that it was a cafe con piernas or a gentleman's cafe as it may be called in other parts of the world. My gf was so embarrassed and I was laughing and loving it. The ladies were wearing mini-skirts with a lot of cleavage though and not full on thongs like the pic you show. Maybe they bring out the thongs at night. ಠ_ಠ

I find those places incredibly embarrassing myself even as a man. Lot of desperation in the air lol.

You gotta look at service too.

Hulk and Oscar have given Fred Nothing to work with. Ronaldo had great service from kaka and ronaldinho at that tournament.

Fred is good if you feed him.

yeah, that's one of the "classiest" ones. There are other much more... um, let's say "decadent" and just leave it at that

Ohhh boy, leaving now. I'll probably browse the thread during half time. VAMOS CHILE, MIERDA!

 

[Road]

Master Jinx Mufa Jagger has spoken, Chile wins tomorrow 3-0.

Was about to change my prediction, then I realized I'm on the internet and can just check his twitter and see it's fake.

A midfield of current fernandinho and Luiz Gustavo shits on that old midfield though.

Only big difference is that kaka was much better than the current Oscar.

 

[silver.tongue]

Agreed. I still think that with more motivation they could have done it. Parreira is awful at that particular thing. Scolari is a master in motivation.

Zidane bossed that match, to the point where the Brazilians were congratulating him alone afterwards, almost bowing to him.

Ronaldo and Zidane are, easily, the best players since Maradona. I'll probably put Messi in the same category once he retires.

As long as you mean original Ronaldo, then I completely agree (I presume you do!)

Of course I do! Shame on you to even consider otherwise! lol

 

[Oveja Negra]

As a chilean, I really hope today we change the history

If I were colombian, I'd be very nervous, Uruguay is serious business, with or without Suárez.

I respect Uruguay's big balls and how they fight until the end, always, but I like better the beautiful football Colombia has been showing so far, so I'm rooting for them.

 

[GoxRx]

So Medel is playing today? FUCK YES

Vamos Chile

 

[Magni]

Vamos Chile! More scared of FIFA than of Brazil haha

 

[Oersted]

Vamos Chile

 

[jamesinclair]

It's going to be a high scoring game.

Any goalie that wasn't Ochoa would have let three or four in. At the same time, the Brazilian defense was full of holes.

Yup. Zidane was a legitimate legend and deserved all the praise.

 

[Nemesis121]

Any team playing Brazil in this cup should fear FIFA until Brazil reaches the final, corrupt FIFA will try their best to get Brazil to the final, if Chile/Brazil battle is 50/50 i expect the ref will call obvious dives that he would ignore or card in any other game a foul in today's game...

 

[criesofthepast]

Chile's biggest opponent today is FIFA and themselves. Gotta go out there with confidence and not be scared of Brazil because talent vs talent they can play ball with them.

Ffs, let's wait for the game first, shall we?

I respect Chile. This is their best team ever in a world cup, but anyone saying Brazil will NEED "help" from FIFA, reff or whatever, don't know or repect Brazilian football. Which is a shame.

 

[Brashnir]

Brazil 4 - Chile 3 (AET)
Colombia 3 - Uruguay 1

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I will be supporting Columbia today for obvious reasons.

Brazil vs Chile will be a cracking match as a neutral.

 

[akaoni]

Zidane '06 was inhuman.

 

[GunBR]

Why are all talking about 2006?
Brazil-2010 was the real shitty team

Luis Fabiano, Robinho, Grafite, Kleberson, and an injuried Kaka.

Howard Webb is the ref

 

[Tugatrix]

Sorry Chile I like very much your country, but I have to rally with Brasil

 

[His Majesty]

Vamos Chile, as long as you don't injure Oscar.

 

[seattle6418]

This is the worst Brazilian team since 1994, and on that world cup Romário won by himself with the occasional help from Bebeto and a few others.

1998 was loaded, had a prime Ronaldo, Rivaldo on his way to world's best player and a great supporting cast. They just shitted on the final.

2002 had prime Ronaldo, prime Rivaldo and Ronaldinho Gaúcho playing well. It was an incredible team.

2006 had all the stars you can think of on paper, but they were just lazy and ended up shitting the bed.

2010 had a great team once again, lots of talented new blood... ended up doing stupid shit against Nederlands and lost a close game.

2014 squad is full of players that should have been groomed for 2018 but because a bunch of others promising players failed, they were rushed into this. Adriano should be playing, Luís Fabiano, Robinho, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Diego, Breno, even Ronaldo could be playing his last WC if he took care of himself like Romário did. But all these players let their carrears go downhill and as a result we have this young unproven team.

Brasil 4 x 2 Chile, no defense on both sides.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I'd quite like to see Uruguay do quite well in the WC, but fall short in a way they wouldn't if they had Suarez.

 

[alba]

Brazil 3-2 Chile

Let's go!

 

[akaoni]

I'm going to side with Chile because I want an upset, I just hope they don't dive too much to get there which is only okay against Spain.

 

[Ostinatto]

All the girls get naked when Chile scores lol

 

[Pacbois]

Doesn't matter what team they put out, the mighty eagles will slay them

You mean the team that didn't train because of a rewards conflict. Yea right

 

[silver.tongue]

way to overreact

Sorry if it sounded like that. It was not my intention. But the point stands.
Lets at least wait for a mistake to happen before blaming a possible Brazil win on the reff.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Howard Webb is the ref

Eugh


Look out for him just clearly ignoring blatant calls as it's less controversial to fail to spot a penalty, than it is to give one incorrectly
