I think Webb did a good job, but Jo had to get red imo.

Most people can, I'd imagine. Could you put it in the top corner in that moment though?
I'm actually happy that Brazil won. As much as I dislike that team, imagine if Chile managed to go forward and Vidal and Sanchez had a great WC. Their price will skyrocket like crazy.
I am interested to see how Colombia performs.
who ?
Jesus.
He's right. People are already trying to discredit one of the best WCs of all time just because they're sour about their national teams being utterly shit.
I died today. Don't even know why I was so attached to the game but it was crazy. It was as if my own team went out. I could barely watch brasil corners for the last 20 minutes or so and during the penalties.. I don't even remember the last time I was that nervous.
EFF THIS. Why? Why why why why why

Most of them.
Luiz, Marcelo, Alves, Hulk. Mostly irrational hatred tbf.
For me, personally, I just don't like their style. Use to love their "you score but we score more" attitude.
Also there aren't any United players to cheer.
He was the best player on the pitch in the first half while carrying a knock. Went missing in the 2nd half though.
Colombia will knock them out in the next round.
weve seen players get reds at this wc for way less so I still think that they were both staight reds
Was anyone else irritated by the fans who started cheering and jumping around because they were on TV right before the first penalty? Jus me then? Ok...
Julio cesar was nearly in tears before the shootout...imagine the Brazilian's emotions if they were to lose in the final now
Feel for Chile, think they probably deserved to go through but even if not to go out after hitting the bar late on and then the post in the shoot-out is crushing.
Don't rate, and don't like, this Brazil side. The sooner they're dumped out the better. Oh and what a game!

Easy there man, it's standard cliché and every hosting nation gets it.
You think that people offering an opinion on a football forum means they're 'pathetic scum'?
I did want Brazil to win it but I just cant see them doing it. I think there are 4 or 5 teams left in it that are better than Brazil and unless Brazil have some dramatic change in form I dont know how they can win it. I think I just want to see the best team win it now but I dont know who that is to be honest.
We need a Golden Testicles award for best penalty. Aránguiz has it sewn up.
I don't think the Germans would allow them to play until penalties.
RIP in pieces
Amen
Best player on the pitch? No way. Even hulk was better than him not to mention the chile players who turns up.
Courage? He's not standing in the trenches in World War 1 dodging machine gun fire and incoming shells; he's kicking a leather sphere around a grass rectangle with a bunch of other prima donnas.
Courage. Jesus Christ.
You think Uruguay will get past Colombia?
I think there is an unwritten rule for GK that you're allowed to come off your line a little bit, it would be too unnatural to stand directly on your line and make it far easier for the penalty takers. I agree it needs clearing up though.
What exactly is likable about this brazil team? They aren't good to watch, usually have the refs on their side since they're home, no real likable players, they are the favourites, fans booing other anthems, and already had a huge amount of luck. There really isn't much going their way for neutrals.
David Luiz set the tone for that penalty shootout. He's always been good at penalties every time I have seen him. He also did well against Bayern in 2012 CL final.
This x 1000
Not to mention getting paid mega bucks and millions of fans while they're at it.
Germany will walk this World Cup. Very good in all areas around the pitch. Argentina will be their main threat but not even Messi will be able to take them on by himself.
Courage is the wrong word, but his ability to handle the pressure being put on him from an entire nation is remarkable.
Imagine if Brazil lost that shootout, the stadium would've been burned down...still may happen when Colombia knock them out
not if they keep getting decisions and keep fluking games they were terrible in. I just don't see any team beating Brazil.
Obviously not, but there has been something of an agenda when it comes to "opinions" on officiating. So I understand the poster's frustration because it is already discrediting the tournament and Brazil if they win the whole thing.
The ref in game one didn't have a great game and that is all there is to it.
Never want to go through that again.
Nothing would have happen... I mean those theories about some revolution on the streets if Brasil got out is laughable.
As much as I don't like Neymar, you got to handle it to him that he is dealing very well with the pressure and at times carries the whole of the team
Well for tonight's match - maybe if Suarez loses his balance (again), falls from his sofa at home in Uruguay onto the pitch in Brazil and gets hit in his gnashers again.. Just maybe.
You know how unlucky he is. It just could happen.
And what did they get today?
Nobody is discrediting the tournament. People are discrediting Brasil.
