2014 World Cup 3rd Place Match

50m Euros for Luiz? Seriously?

Clasie is so good

Scolari said that a result like on Tuesday wouldn't happen again in a thousand years. We'll see.

I think Brazil won't host a WC again in thousand years is more like it.

It really has been like watching Newcastle these last couple of games.

Kuyt's crosses...

A country that gave birth to Socrates to have such a clueless midfield totally lacking any kind of creativity is painful to see.

Dear Lord that first touch by Will I an

This ref...

Brazil only dangerous-ish from set pieces.

Gave Netherlands a penalty and another goal that should have been disallowed. Not showing a red to Thiago was ridiculous though

That should have been a red for Maxwell.

Well but he's a good all-round footballer, pretty decent at everything except defending.
Should fit well in one of those teams that select keepers for their first touch, dribbling and distribution.

All brazilian players on the bench give instructions. No one trusts Scolari anymore.

Kimbo should be loving them

No team selects a keeper just for that. Those are additional skills that are becoming more important. Just like they are important for defenders, but that doesn't mean that they are compensation for basic defending skills.

Clasie is such a legend.

The new Brazilian FA president really had the nerve to say that they should keep Scolari. After this shower of shit, there surely can't be a future for Scolari, can it?

Better than not being dangerous at all.

But not better than being dangerous in open play.

I concur.

ITV co-commentator talking about Jogo Bonito as if it was a real thing.

Ian Wright "How can Fernandinho get in to this side, and Willian can't?"

Yes. That's why I would like to see Holland winning.

Even if they sack Scolari, things will not change because the corrupt fuckos will remain at the helm. They don't have a clue about football. They think that Brazil were unlucky to concede 4 goals in 6 minutes against Germany. They really believe that Scolari didn't make any mistake and that the FA did everything right over the past years. The future is dark.

Jesus these linesmen / ref. How shit can you be? That wasn't offside, while the second Dutch goal was.

He said Paulinho to be fair, though Willian is average. Clarke Carlisle has been appointed the most intelligent footballer in England, he knows what he's talking about.

Apparently thiago silva missing was the problem with the brazil defence against Germany    

It's so different with thiago silva   

He is quite overrated. People forget that he was at Old Trafford when Milan lost 4-0 and he was one of the worst performers.

The general comment reads sarcastic...still, I don't agree Luiz is a good around footballer. Only his box to box movement is good, he doesn't actually move around the pitch well to give other players an option to pass, his movement doesn't match/ complement his team's play. His passing isn't crisp and subtle, its too forceful and direct.

Even his good points are seriously overrated

That was puzzling. Someone who doesn't follow football might have thought Neymar had just died.

Plus, being a good footballer still doesn't compensate for the most important aspect, even if he wasn't a defender: tactical understanding and game intelligence. Luiz seriously lacking in those areas.

And yes, agree with shazlx.

Neymar and Oscar are the only players of this team with some credit after this WC.
