Going to enjoy dem salty tears. See you on Sunday.

Such a big celebration last night.

Yep
 
He's not "a little overrated". He is a supposed number 10 who can't even unlock the panties of a wet girl on prom night. He is also a guy who threw his clubs trophy hopes by not trying and saving himself for the World Cup for nearly 6 months.

He also wasn't the only option. Coutinho,firmino,willian, and hell even Kaka should have been out there over him.

I think Kaka would have been better than most of the Brazilian players at this WC. At list he remembers how to dribble and shoot from time to time.

Edit: these last pages are to be booked for after the final comments.
 
He isn't a defender. How would he have helped the team in that situation?

Besides the defensive shamble and tactical nightmare they were in, Brazil entered in the game practically defeated because of Neymar's absence. That's why they collapsed after the second goal. If they would have had 1-2 players playing better throughout the WC they wouldn't have ended in this situation (psychologically). They started the game all out attack trying to overcompensate for Neymar. Like a fighter that has a broken hand but tries to talk louder and make some over the top moves in the hope that the opponent would be scared.

They should have never done that against Germany. They would have lost probably even so, but not like this.

Edit: also Marcelo and Luiz were so offensive because there was no good player upfront to dribble and pass.
 
They should really take that game behind the stadium and shoot it. Completely unneccesary. I'd rather see the finale on a saturday, no worries about going to work the day after we won the finale like that :D

Just take both captains and let them play it out in "Rock, Paper, Scissors" on saturday morning at the Rio airport.
 
I don't think about that game still i guess the fun in it is both team don't normally care so we should see some goals .

We've already seen what happens when Brazil doesn't care anymore. They clearly didn't after the 2-0. I doubt anyone wants that to happen again o.O

I know game for 3rd place is a differerent kind of not caring :P

Still, if Brazil has shown us one thing...they can't avoid a counter to save their lives. If they play like in the first few minutes and the second half against Germany (aka their "good" phase) I see them losing 0-3 or 0-4. Netherlands are just as disciplined as we are and can play mean long passes. Brazilian defenders are anywhere to be found on the field, except for the defence where they actually should be. Easy going for Robben and Sneijder

Brazil must play completely different than against us, else this will get ugly.

Not for this match I don't think. In 98 we lost third place to Croatia (they had Suker though) because Holland just gave up. I don't even think Robben will play Saturday. Field the B-team, pass it around in defense, hope FIFA get angry.
 
Di Maria + serious Messi will demolish Germany easily !

Vamos Argentina :)

Di Maria is messed up and Messi played seriously messy this tournament though.
Did I mention I like to make Messi jokes? I discovered a new side of me in those past two hours :P
 
If Dutch Eredivisie defenders (where shit strikers like Afonso Alves and Altidore can score 20+ goals in a season) can shut-down Messi completely, Bundesliga defenders should have no problem with it.
 
2010 Aegentina team was better than this team and Germany beat them 4-0.

Germany is much stronger now then in 2010 therefore on Sunday Argentina will feel as Brazil did 2 says ago.

Well, good for you if you actually believe what you said but I advice you not to set up high expectations. Ned fans did the same, I know GER is not NED but still, you are facing a World class team with lots of experience and history + world best player.
 
I'm having a hard time deciding who to root for.

Argentina wins, means Germany doesn't, to many German students here, can't handle their taunts for 4 years.
Germany wins, South America can finally stop whining about a Euro team never winning a cup in the America's.

World best Player is Ronaldo. We sent him and is little friends home with 4:0...

Funny I thought we had beaten Portugal in group phase.
EDIT: And of course I should have scrolled down completely to the bottom. Ninja'd -_-
 
I don't really mind who wins on Sunday. I like both teams and wanted both to get far in the tournament (as a USA and Mexico fan I wanted my teams to win).

However, it would be nice if Messi leads ARG to win so my Argentina friends will stop comparing him (in a bad way) to Maradona.
 
Messis highest scoring night (5 goals) came vs bundesliga defenders tho.

None of which play today. That's about as relevant as citing games which happened 30 years ago.
EDIT: Two of them aren't even German and the other ones never played a single game for our National team.

Razor pls
