Let's be honest: it's practically impossible to not be anti-anything-but-yourself in this thread.

Personally, I'm rooting for the Germans going forward because they Germans were the classiest among Brazilians, Argentinians and Dutch ITT.
I don't want to dig up posts, but there is banter and then there's straight up hating an entire continent. This dude was being a bit of an arse the whole way.
 
I feel bad laughing at that the kid that was crying in the Brazil crowd.

Well, I was laughing more at the fact that the shot of that kid summed up the entire match.
 
Pretty sad considered the old guy probably witness the glory days of Brazil.

Not sure if he can live long enough to see Brazil winning again.

It's even worse for the kid since I don't think she will see Brazil winning either.

Brazil is the new England.
 
I thought whoever has the broadcast right in Japan would put the match online, no?

I wish it was simple but I simply cannot find anything! I'm so disappointed with the Japan coverage of this World Cup, it's pathetic in comparison to how things are done in the UK.
 
proof that World Cup is fixed and this guy is inside trading


no one
NO ONE

would bet on khedira to score

When I see bet posts, I always want to see the rest of their betting history. Because a broken clock is right twice a day but it's not very impressive. Most people with crazy bets are likely serial gamblers.

Brazil is the new England.

They'd have to take four of our titles away and retroactively make the one that we'd be left with robbed for that to happen.

Remember: we're still in the top 4.

no way in hell. this can't be real.
 
Thank you but.... Damn... Looks like I can't watch it from Japan. Check out their response, absolutely atrocious:

"This video is not not working or not available in your territory. Please check again later on."



Any other alternative links so I can watch the highlights or the full match that I have missed?

That guy goes to (almost) all brazilian matches since 1990
He's (a little) famous here
 
watching nate and 538 failing with their ridiculous predictions has been fun.

Clearly, he should stick to politics. El Juego Bonito can't be put into numbers.


EDIT: Question, do people from NED get upset when people call the country Holland? I've heard some people don't like it. *shrug*
 
Nah son.

Push up bra, super fake contact lenses, same pose in every picture, no figure, low height and I guess no ass too.

You guys are easily fooled.

Man, thats one expensive kiss. Is she even from Germany? I just cant fathom how girls can degrade themselves to such slutty behavior. Even if it is a joke. And the next day people wonder why men are sexists and anti-feminists ...
 
Honestly, to me, the biggest single attribute/culprit here was the absence of Thiago Silva. It was abundantly clear the Luiz had literally 0 control over that back line. As a captain, especially in the back, it's his duty to anchor the defense and call out assignments, adjustments, etc. It just wasn't there.

And, yes, the absence of one man can cause the catastrophe witnessed. When you're missing the anchor, captain, leader of your defense, it's basically JV soccer out there. It was some of the most abysmal defense in this Cup.

Credit to Germany, obviously, but there was no excuse for the absolute no-brainer mistakes that Brazil was making.

This was NOT the team that beat Colombia. Even though BRA had been shaky, a team with Thiago out there would have held far better ground.

Nah... Brazil was just amateur hour today.
 
what a match, GER was on fire. Feel for the brazilians though.

in other news: i reposted that pornhub tweet to my facebook. currently trying to deal with a close MALE friend sending me pm's about how offended it made him citing reasons of "football and porn not belonging together" and "do you know what type off stuff is on pornhubs public humiliation section?". Guess he doesn't get jokes, lol.

and he's not brazilian either, and p-hub doesnt even have a section like that. lol.
 
I may not be as knowledgeable as some of you folk but I think I'm ever so slightly more impressed at how the German side were able to systematically destroy Brazil with surprising efficiency than I am at Brazil utterly shitting the bed.

This looked like the German side I was afraid and anticipated were going to run train in Group G.

Except they didn't kill Group G. Portugal game was screwed up by the idiot and Ghana played a good game against them. USA game was ?
 
Brazil had More possession, shots, and shots on target.

ok?

That means nothing. What if their possession was mostly comprised of them trying to bypass the German defense (which is true, a lot of passing back and across the field) and shots were flail attempts to get near a goal?
 
watching nate and 538 failing with their ridiculous predictions has been fun.

Brazil having a 65% chance to win by 538's model was so dumb lol

anyway, what are we expecting tomorrow, I think Messi will score the last goal
when Argentina is already down 2

What it means is how poorly an end result can match the stats of a match. If you had glanced at 7-1, would you consider Brazil leading in at least 2 of those stats?

And look what that got them!

Exactly.

Hence, my theory as to why Americans hate soccer: it's a poor statistical sport. Ugh, baseball.

Yup. There's way too many chicks like this on campus, I've become desensitized to them.

Fake shit is a turn off.
 
I'm just glad that average goals scored per match in this WC is still relatively high.

A goal rich match like this needed to happen after the disappointing scorelines in the RO16/Quarter Finals, when the skeptics and pessimists in Footie-GAF were worried the free flowing goals were never going to come again and a lot of matches were ending at either ET or with penalties.

A decisive thumping like this in the Semis is almost unheard of in the World Cup. By any team. I'm looking forward to either NED or ARG (or both) to make this the most goal laden semis ever for any World Cup in history.
 
No i mean this is how I thought they'd look before the tournament started.

Oh okay i agree, but at the same time I don't think the played any better in this game than in the others tbh. Brazil just got thoroughly out played and defence was horrid.

Rewatching the game and I dont understand how Brazil was playing like this. It's as if Germany could have scored anytime they wanted to.

Goal's stats. Eh, someone is wrong. burn 'em.

Most of the those must have come right at the beginning and right at the end in junk time when Germany had long taken its foot off the gas. That's why the sloppily gave up the only goal in the 90th minute.

I think I was analyzing this game quite right when I said in the beginning that Germany had this cool nature and they were just waiting to see what Brazil had. They pounced and when they did, they put their foot in Brazil's throat but no one could have imagined that 5 goal run in 18 minutes.
