We didn't need the Netherlands to send Brazil home early, as Chile is looking like they'll take care of it just fine. With Brazil out of the competition today, things will definitely be more interesting with no team holding an unfair home crowd advantage. Hopefully there won't be any violent protests due to Brazil being eliminated, though.

You're kidding. Brazil has been way better. I'm rooting for Chile, but let's be realistic.

Too early to tell.
 
looks like some kind of invisible force hit him. maybe the uruguayan is a jedi or something.

Unfortunately Brazil doesn't have a good striker. There's no one better to replace Fred.

That first foul was a clear yellow against Brazil. Clarísimo as Univision put it. Second Chilean yellow was way tame in comparison.

Both could have been yellow. There are no difference nuances of yellow on the card. The referee decided to not escalate things so early on and it worked for him so far. Really one of the best referee at this world cup (including those very good calls on supposed penalties). Not everything is a conspiracy.

lol, C'mon now I know Neymar is the only player worth a damn right now but it does not look like an easy win for Chile.
 
Chile basically had 2 chances because of huge fuckups in Brazil defense. For the rest I think Brazil is going to take the win. Chile won't hold on for 90 mins.

Yep, Brazil is pressing Chile to death. There's still hope Brazil runs out of gas, but it's not looking likely.
 
People here really don't think that the referees are at the very least "encouraged" to give Brazil an advantage? Starting with the quarter finals maybe it won't matter too much but the match vs Croatia looked very much like an attempt to avoid catastrophic embarrassment.

I don't think there is an institutional direction for the refs to legislate one way or another.

But they are human and they certainly could feel the pressure of a home crowd pushing them to see a 50/50 call one way instead of the other. Moreso for the less experienced refs though.

Webb gets put in the pressure cooker every week in the Prem, he's not going to be so easily swayed.
 
Where did Adriano end?

Wasn't him in china, quatar or someplace thay pays a lot and have an awful league?

He went back to brazil. Then this happened

On April 11, 2014, Atlético Paranaense terminated his contract after a three-month spell. The team had been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores two days prior, and Adriano missed two training sessions the days after, without giving an explanation
 
Please, Brazil, LOOSE!

I can't stand seeing one more game of this shit team anymore! (and I'm brazilian)

This shit team is shit!
