Go on, Brazil, and win the world cup.

The meltdown on here will be one to remember for years. I'd love to see if other forums have a "RedCafe goes to meltdown" thread.
I honestly don't get the hatred. Its bizzare :lol:

Undeserved. Really hope Germany knock these twats out, its ridiculous how much the refs are on their side in literally every game. Feel for Colombia and Rodriguez, he was brilliant all tourney.

Brazil are getting slightly better as the tournament has gone on, but the most consistent thing about them is the decisions they're getting. I thought they might crack under the pressure but they've got past 2 good teams now in Chile and Colombia. Somehow they may find themselves in the final.

They're riding the wave of passion from the crowd.

I hope Brazil beat Germany to prove the fix is on. :)
Same here. I want Brazil to win the whole thing now just to infuriate the wannabe conspiracy theorists.

You'd think a United fan of all would be able to contemplate how a team can win games without playing well. If anything it's more impressive.

That was a good game but I can understand why James would be fecking pissed, he got clattered into so many times and wasn't getting the freekicks. Fernandinho was fouling him at will.

People hate him because of his hair. Is it him with the problem then?

If opposing defenders want to kick him out the game, they shouldn't complain if he wins himself some soft freekicks.
Those who hate him because of his hair are bald nerds.

No, people hate him because he dives and play acts. It's not too hard to understand really. I wouldn't even say a lot of people hate him, they just don't like him. Which is fair enough.

But what if somebody wants brazil to win and believes they will win because they think that fifa is fixing these matches.

tbf....FIFA made Brazil build stadiums in the middle of the Amazon for this tournament. Would it be fair to have their team eliminated early.

Referee had a bad game, but Brazil were the better side throughout the match if we're honest. Maybe it would have been different if a yellow card or two had been handed to the likes of Fernandinho early on - Colombia might actually have been able to mount a counter that wasn't impeded by a foul. The Luiz free-kick is debatable since James clearly pulls away from the challenge to avoid making contact, but it was poorly defended. Then there's the Yepes goal, which wasn't offside. In fairness to the linesman, Yepes was standing about 6 yards offside for no reason and there was a massive scramble blocking view.

They generally had no regard for the offside rule, were poor at set pieces and were very easily riled. They pretty much went from nervous to headless after the 2nd goal.

A lot of posters here need to take a cold hard look at themselves after today, some of these conspiracy theories wouldn't look out of place at RAWK.

Embarrassing.
