I meant to say they will beat uruguay or colombia, not sure what happened there.
Just an unbelievable game of football.
How can you enjoy football (I assume you do) and then post something like that? Of course it's not trenches, but it's absolutely unimaginable pressure I reckon. Cynical way of looking at it.
Breathtaking 2 hours.
Ah now, you could use that example to downplay nearly every example of courage going.
If any of us were in his shoes there we'd be absolutely bricking it. It does take courage and nerve to step up like that.
Yeah I know but they make a good job of building this whole protest thing up
If that cross bar was a couple of inches higher, Brazil would be out right now. It is possible(very tough, agree) to beat them.
I don't know if Colombia is that team. I'll have to see how they play against Uruguay in a knockout game.
That ship sailed so long ago. Columbus was on that ship.
very very true, well said.
Dont know what are you talking about tbh.
Brasil are just riding their luck and the home field advantage right now. Not really impressed by them at all. Definitely not the Brasil of old (late 90's-00's for me). I expect Brasil to get demolished in the next round.
It's all relative buddy!
two clear red cards that would have been given in an instant to any other team at this wc
Well then I better hope you never praised a footballer for anything! Why don't you just relax a bit?I have been watching World Cups since 1994 and I'm yet to see Brazil play joga bonito. They've had great players like Ronaldo, Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo but they've not produced the exhilarating footie. And this current team is the worst of the lot. Only Neymar and Silva would have made the 2002 squad
I rate Chile more than I do Colombia and Brazil have knocked them out, so I don't see Colombia beating Brazil.
Maybe but ozil and that defense with 4 center backs can be horrid. Ghana rip them to shreds so I'm not penciling them in the final yet
But that Hulk goal should have stood.
Rubbish
brazil celebrating like david moyes is embarrassing to themselves and the nation.
If I were brazilian I would be embarrassed by it.

A great proportion of the pressure comes from the focus on the individual and the fact that they are currently being "different" in some way.
In WWI I imagine that everyone on the field of battle was doing (and going through) roughly the same thing.
It's different.
...which only tomac on RedCafe thinks should've been red.
They didn't really.
Are the protests even in the media anymore? At least here in Austria anything negative surrounding the World Cup has pretty much disappeared the day the WC started. Is it just being kept under the rugs or have the big protests genuinly diminished?
So which team has played amazing football and won the world cup? I began watching WC since 1998.
Also it's obvious that Brazil is not getting a free pass to the semis, the ref could have helped Brazil if he wanted.

We haven't played Jogo Bonito since the 80's. The closest team was probably 97-99 team but even them played with 2 destroyer DM.
utter rubbish, neither were red cards.
This Brazil squad is not great, but I don't understand the shit they get on here. So far Germany and Holland have offered more, I don't think Brazil will win it despite the home support. I want Brazil to win it, but I have a bias, and I know it means more to them than anyone else (huge generalisation but it's true).
Germany and the Dutch are still waiting for there World Cup and both failed last time agaisnt Spain but one who assume that Germany France or Netherlands will be in the final.. I know this his crazy but tomorrow game holland and Mexico is a toss up. Mexico if they beat holland they could be a threat
whatever dude keep living in your fantasy land where brazil is the so called greatest team
But no one has said that.. None of us are claiming that Brazil are the greatest team,all we are saying is that they both did not look like clear red card incidents..
Who has said that Brazil are a great team ? , they are average at most, mark Neymar out if the game and they are very beatable.
Mikael Silvestre comparing Alexis Sanchez's dribbling style to Giggsy's.
Not really, no, it's a totally inappropriate over-analysis.
Next time someone wins a tough game and a comment like "great feat" surfaces let's all downplay it and tell that great feats are the stuff that Pasteur, Jesus Christ and front line soldiers did.
Germany and Holland are both much better teams so hopefully we'll be spared of them actually winning it.
Personally I thought Brazil deserved to go through despite being a really terrible team. Whatever about red cards they might have had, their disallowed goal was at least debateable. Had more chances through the game too and looked the most interested in pushing for the win in extra time.
Then you've got a problem with the handball rule.
