How the fuck did they reach semis

And a bit of luck against Colombia.

 

[Manu]

That doesn't seem too difficult at the moment, if I'm being honest...

That was kinda my point. The 7-1 was equal parts Germany's feat and Brasil sucking.

 

[Drencrom]

Got dayum.. get your shit together, Brazil.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Why is Sneijder benched?

 

[Jean Valjean]

Last man is usually a phrase to help show it would be a clear goalscoring opportunity.

So if it was the last defender, having passed that defender the attacker would then be in a one-on-one scenario with the keeper, thus having a clear goalscoring opportunity.

If there are more defenders before he reaches the one-on-one scenario a goalscoring opportunity may not arise, and so discretion is needed.

The rules only say "denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity". It doesn't matter if it was the last man or not.

 

[figadapaura]

Except that Brazil was robbed against Chile and completely dominated GAF-favorite Colombia.

Why were they robbed against Chile?

Why is Sneijder benched?

Injured during warm-up.

 

[Chakan]

Why is Sneijder benched?

Injury.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Blind European hate clouds logic on GAF. Well, whatever. Most of the haters couldn't even get through group stage anyway.

 

[Masquerader]

Bwa-ha-ha! An utterly amusing failure. Rule 1 of defending: Do not give an enemy attacker the fuckin' ball, you moron.

 

[friskykillface]

9'goals allowed in the last two games

 

[Mobius 1]

It's becoming obvious that the tactical choices are to blame. Team is playing too scattered.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Why is Sneijder benched?

He's injured.

 

[kamorra]

Blind European hate clouds logic on GAF. Well, whatever. Most of the haters couldn't even get through group stage anyway.

Certainly saved us from experiencing a 1-7 embarrassment.

 

[MBR]

Seriously? How do you leave a guy completely on his own in the middle of the small area for so long?

Yeah... The Brazilian midfield seemed to only look at the ball. One of them had ages to get into position.

 

[Mohonky]

Penalty!

 

[Brazil]

Hey, that's a penalty!

 

[ItIsOkBro]

That's a penalty kick!

 

[mangochutney]

The rules only say "denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity". It doesn't matter if it was the last man or not.

Yeah... you didn't read what I said properly did you...

 

[air jordans for dogs]

holy shit lol, worst ref decision yet

 

[El Topo]

Oscar is literally the only decent player in this team.

There's plenty of good/great players in the Brazilian team, they're just playing absolutely abysmally.

 

[LNBL]

Why is Sneijder benched?

Injured during the warming ip

 

[jts]

Don't agree. Well the overall kit could use some more diversity but the shirts are awesome.

It would be GOAT with white shorts.

 

[CTLance]

All dem fouls. C'mon, Brazil, try to salvage this.

 

[Kurtofan]

Oh great brazil

 

[The Incredible Muffin]

Omg really!?

That dive was worse than any

 

[Robohasi]

He literally tripped over his own feet...

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Haha This is amazing.. Pele is GOAT!

 

[Linius]

Dat Oscar dive. Learning from the best.

 

[KHlover]

It would be GOAT with white shorts.

Pls, too similar to England
EDIT: Oh, shorts...yeah

 

[Kazerei]

Ref is making terrible calls :\

 

[Roland1979]

Bwa-ha-ha! An utterly amusing failure. Rule 1 of defending: Do not give an enemy attacker the fuckin' ball, you moron.

That's not the nr 1 rule. The nr 1 rule of football(club) is don't talk about football(club).

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Nice dive, oscar worthy

 

[Toxi]

LOL what the fuck is this ref doing

 

[LuuKyK]

He literally tripped over his own feet...

Seriously. lol This team is an embarrassment, and I am saying that as a brazilian.

 

[Brazil]

Why were they robbed against Chile?

Legal goal that was considered illegal and obvious penalty on Hulk that wasn't considered?

Certainly saved us from experiencing a 1-7 embarrassment.

Italy is so shit no one would even care.

 

[oti]

Except that Brazil was robbed against Chile and completely dominated GAF-favorite Colombia.

Colombia? You mistyped Greece oh you little rascal.

 

[Chuck]

Hope Brazil loses 20-0

 

[Chakan]

Nice dive.

 

[Sadist]

Damnit de Guzman

 

[Twentieth]

David Luiz is just a terrible defender. Hard to believe most brazilians love him, despite the fact that he's nothing but an emotional player that should be playing as CDM.

 

[avaya]

Holland should feel embarrassed if they don't score 5 against this shower of shite.

 

[Lambda Pie]

It did not though, he let go a bit before that.... and he fell outside the box too. Falling and rolling into the box, when the contact is gone is not what a continuation foul is about ffs.

FIFA advises refs to give benefit to the player getting fouled taking into account his momentum. Robben gets touched outside but falls inside the box. it's always a pen.

it's the same base of the "continuation foul", where a player gets fouled outside but keeps his momentum and keeps getting fouled into the box by the same player.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I was feeling bad for Brazil until Oscar dived like a moron.

 

[SgtCobra]

That was a penalty yes, smh BMI and ref.

 

[Croyles]

Do we have any takers for 8-1?

At this point it was already 5-0, and this game should be 0-0 with 10vs11.

You can't beat us at beating Brazil, Holland!

 

[spekkeh]

Oh it's the chest, right? Not the foot. So it wasn't offside.

 

[Masquerader]

I'm biased towards Dutchies, but even I realise that the Ref is making tons of mistakes on both sides.

 

[WAR recon zero]

Just making sure people can see it.

Both illegal goals

 

[The Incredible Muffin]

dutch away kit so hideous

The Dutch away kit got voted best of this world cup....

(In the home kits French won)

Everything posted has proved you wrong.
