It wasn't a pen but it was red card which would have been even worse for Brazil.

How is a red card worse than an almost sure goal?

 

[z1ggy]

I hope Scolari stays in the team, i need to see Brazil playing like this in the next Copa America.

 

[jts]

Did you see what he did?

I probably wasn't so attentive, actually. Can't rewind now cuz the 2nd half just started.

What did he do?

 

[Kosma]

Alright. Two illegal goals and penalty on David Luiz ignored.

Let's see what the referee comes up with for the second half.

No red card for silva you are very lucky

Cry moar

 

[TheXbox]

Can't believe Paulinho's not come off. Gustavo is bad, but at least he's gotten a touch.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Alright. Two illegal goals and penalty on David Luiz ignored.

Let's see what the referee comes up with for the second half.

Should have been a red card though so consider it a trade off.

 

[Oersted]

Sadly have to agree. That's not the game of a team which wants to redeem themselves. I bet Scolari gave out a stupid order not to take any risks as a way to lose as low as possible. I mean - they don't even look like they TRY to win :/

It looked like:

"Don't get a early goal"

Early goal happens. ...

"Well, what now?"

 

[Mohonky]

Brazil should bring on Neymars hair and put it in the Netherlands 18 yard box, it proble has more chance of scoring

 

[jamesinclair]

HAHAHA what a liar, we know you're American that roots for Mexico

As someone who lives in the US, I also cheer for them.

Does that bother you?

 

[KHlover]

Well, you can see that it matters. This wasn't a penalty, but they got one.

Yeah, should have made it more clear that my post only applies to a ref which is actually decent

It looked like:

"Don't get a early goal"

Early goal happens. ...

"Well, what now?"

Pretty funny, Oliver Kahn shares our theory ^^

 

[nny]

This linesman, oh man.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Damn, fucking Robben, even in a game that doesn't get you shit he dives. Sure it was a foul, but thanks to his theatrics he was able to get a penalty out of it.
Did the Brazilian get a red card? Because that's a red. I only saw the last 2 minutes of the 1st half.

People that don't understand that Robben is the best penalty seller in the world and act surprised when he does what he's programmed for astound me. Don't fouls Robben in the box it will go poorly for you

 

[ICKE]

What the fuck? He was one of the best until now, just stop.

I'm looking at his performances as of late in this tournament, not his professional career during the last few years or so.

His positioning is completely off, he doesn't track back properly, he's all over the place and leaves too much space between the midfield and defense, does not win headers even against wingers like Robben, constantly makes bad decisions (like in that second goal where he should have headed the ball into any direction but the center of the box, because he had no vision)..

It's unbelievable actually.

 

[KingSnake]

Lol, no offside. These referees are like the Brazil of refereeing.

 

[CMojicaAce]

I kinda wanna see Fred be put on just to see the kind of reaction he gets.

 

[avaya]

How is a red card worse than an almost sure goal?

Thiago is their only competent defender. Without that you have the brain trust of Luiz and it would be BINGO time for the Dutch.

 

[Kosma]

As someone who lives in the US, I also cheer for them.

Does that bother you?

Oh you american hahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahaga

 

[artist]

This will go to PKs.

 

[Scotch]

Alright. Two illegal goals and penalty on David Luiz ignored.

Let's see what the referee comes up with for the second half.

Yeah let's ignore the red card for Silva and the elbow from Maxwell

 

[CTLance]

How is a red card worse than an almost sure goal?

Well, it would have taken a sorely needed defender off the pitch, and frankly, playing as they do, that would have killed Brazil.

 

[Ambient80]

It looks like cortana's perfect record in a lot of the recent world cup matches will be destroyed today if brazil does not score twice in the 2nd half.

Hasn't Cortana only picked favorites though? If not, what upsets did she pick?

 

[UrbanRats]

Alright. Two illegal goals and penalty on David Luiz ignored.

Let's see what the referee comes up with for the second half.

There will be time for tears after the match.

 

[Lonely1]

Floppen!

 

[maximum360]

Goalie likes playing with fire it seems.

 

[Roland1979]

Um, my country plays tomorrow?

You liar. And literately everyone here feels that you are the failure. You know why hardcore trolls troll? They have a weak and broken ego. And the only way for them to feel better is for someone else to feel worse. You're a sad little man who will keep chasing something you won't be able to catch.

 

[LNBL]

I probably wasn't so attentive, actually. Can't rewind now cuz the 2nd half just started.

What did he do?

Haha, he did the thing with his hands which makes them look like 2 mouths talking. Directed at the critics that have been talking about him in the last 3 matches where he played like shit.

 

[FootballFan]

Alright. Two illegal goals and penalty on David Luiz ignored.

Let's see what the referee comes up with for the second half.

Lol

 

[LAM09]

Brazil have been wack so far!

 

[Scotch]

As someone who lives in the US, I also cheer for them.

Does that bother you?

LOL

 

[Deadbeat]

Floppen!

If Brazil can elbow people willy nilly then the dutch can flop like no tomorrow. Theres no standards so why do you care?

 

[KaiserBecks]

People that don't understand that Robben is the best penalty seller in the world and act surprised when he does what he's programmed for astound me. Don't fouls Robben in the box it will go poorly for you

They should call him "Rain Man", because he's actually brilliant, but completely freaks out when you touch him.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Damn.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

This will go to PKs.

That would require Brazil to score twice, which they're not exactly threatening to do...

 

[Neo C.]

Plus Netherlands care a lot. The coach might said that but a lot of the staff and the players want the win. Look at how hard Robben worked just to keep a ball from going out. You don't do that if you're not hungry. They got inspired by a speech from Kluivert (assistant coach).

Van Gaal obviously was scheming. By saying he doesn't care, all the pressure is on Brazil once again. Holland got this.

 

[Guy.brush]

Won't a haircut like Luiz has hinder your periphery vision?

 

[v1lla21]

People that don't understand that Robben is the best penalty seller in the world and act surprised when he does what he's programmed for astound me. Don't fouls Robben in the box it will go poorly for you

Oh I know he lives for that shit He's one of my favorite players, but it's fucking ridiculous sometimes. You would think referees and linesmen would be more attentive when he has the ball.

Tread carefully junior

 

[roytheone]

You are forgetting the fact that Brazil should be with 10 players. The ref is shit impacts both sides, selective picking is not fun.

 

[KHlover]

That was a Yellow

 

[artist]

Lol

Pls understand

 

[zroid]

oh Robben :lol

 

[MBR]

He fucking pushes his head into the ground.

How is that not a card?

 

[MrJustinius]

Damn nearly three.

 

[Tugatrix]

Robben is in great shape

 

[theprodigy]

protip: always address jamesinclair by calling him an American in your post

 

[Hrothgar]

Lol, that guy just grabbed Robben by the neck.

 

[The Hermit]

I've been saying for years... YEARS!!!

Julio Cesar is pure destiled SHIT.

His head is a mess since last WC... He should never be even close to the goal.

The worst part is that he thinks he is the shit.

 

[CTLance]

Ya know, Robben sprinted to get that ball. The Brazil offence just jogs behind the ball and let's it roll off the field. Hot damn, these guys are completely broken.

 

[maximum360]

Brazil just likes living on the edge.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Yep. Netherlands are picking their spots like Germany except Germany was playing a little better defense than Netherlands.
