"Never had any issues with Brazil before the tournament, actually cheered them on when they were whipping Spain in the Confeds Final last year. Now i can't fecking stand them, never hated a national team as much as these guys - maybe Spain from the last world cup or Italy on a general level but these guys take the cake. Arrogance personified, no longer even have the personal to justify it.
Sick of hearing about how it's 'theirs to win', it's destiny and all that rubbish. As has been mentioned before, Scolari's comments/babbles in the press are absolutely nauseating 'one hand on the trophy', 'everyone is behind us' blah blah. The way media hypes them up as the good guys of world football and anyone else that gets in their way as the 'baddies' is so fecking grating. Scolari in general actually, rivals the Mexican manager in the 'most punchable face' category. Stand's there on the sideline, overweight as ever waving his tubby arms around, getting in the officials faces - moaning constantly. Cannot stand him.
The players also, god what an unlikable bunch. Divers galore, Neymar goes to ground nearly every run he makes, so does every one of them actually. It's not just going to ground, they have to do it all, the roll and the grimaced face. They won't get up until the ref notices their 'anguish' even if the game is being played on the other-side of the pitch. For Neymar, i don't feel for him in the slightest - boy who cried wolf. Tough luck. Will he come back humbled and ready to prove his critics wrong? will he feck, watch him jump back straight into his old bag of tricks upon his return. Him and Suarez next year leading the Barca line, oh boy. Can't believe they appealed juju lip's yellow card, blatant foul by a dirty player. He's the captain, and the stories that came out of that penalty shoot-out vs Chile were sickening. Crying, too scared to take a penalty. Imagine Cafu pulling that?. Gustavo with his moustache, the terrible haircuts and Paulinho's mediocre, overbearing presence. Don't get me started on David Luiz. I for one love a good passionate celebration but his vs Columbia just rubbed me the wrong way, came off very fake and for the cameras - to be honest that's how most of the Brazilian behaviour comes across and probably contributes to their high number of hatetability points. Seriously though what happened? guys like Ronaldinho and Rivaldo were so endearingly arrogant, now guys like Paulinho (can't get into the Spurs team) and Gustavo (plays for Wolfsburg) have come in to fill the void and and now it's just unjustified arrogance.
All the antics surrounding their matches couldn't be more cringe-worthy. You have to look away when they walk out onto the pitch with their hands on each other shoulders. Only Brazil could be so arrogant to do that, Columbia in the mean time walk out chilled, hands to themselves and above all - normal! and fast, unlike Brazil who have to take that extra minute to line up. Then the anthems, where Brazil every time have to one up their opponents by screaming the bloody thing. It's not signing with pride, its screaming and it's quite frankly embarrassing.Watch a youtube clip of Luiz shouting the thing, and try not to laugh. Neymar even cried for goodness sake, did you see any Germans doing that in 2006? That's the thing with Brazil, they lack respect for their opponents, they are not humble. It comes off as forced, and that is something that's just not likeable. Ofcourse the referring decisions have gifted them crucial parts of this tournament such as the penalty vs Croatia and basically every 50/50 decision going their way.
Brazil think they are owners of football, better than every other nation with their samba culture and that the world cup is their to be collected.
Hope we tonk them, 3-0. Lahm needs to be RB, and i think he will - similar lineup to the France game with maybe Klose being replaces and i think a finals spot for Germany is within reach. Man for Man, even LB Germany is better in every department."
Alun's post Needs to be re posted.....
That's the good post? My God, that's embarassing!
"

Not the feeling around here, at all. In fact, as a proud footballing nation, everybody saw the team wasn't playing well since even before the World Cup began, and confidence wasn't even that high. The crowd, of course, wanted to show support and push the players, though.
"Scolari in general actually, rivals the Mexican manager in the 'most punchable face' category. Stand's there on the sideline, overweight as ever waving his tubby arms around, getting in the officials faces - moaning constantly. Cannot stand him."
As if Scolari is the first coach that gets fired up like that that you've ever seen! Now, I'll pretend Manchester United's next coach isn't going to be Louis Van Gaal! That one has a myriad of players wanting to punch his face for decades! =P
"Divers galore, Neymar goes to ground nearly every run he makes, so does every one of them actually. It's not just going to ground, they have to do it all, the roll and the grimaced face.

Neymar does his share of diving, yes. But he's also one of the most fouled players I've ever seen, and once after a Santos game he said in an interview that jumping sometimes is the only way he finds of protecting himself. He's a professional player, and his future depends on his health. Actually, I've seen some stats about this world cup, about how many game minutes were lost by each team with players grimmacing on the ground. Brazil, despite being the most fouled team, wasn't even in the top 10 time wasters! So that's bullshit! Not to mention I bet you guys still like Robben...
"For Neymar, i don't feel for him in the slightest - boy who cried wolf. Tough luck."
And this is the post that should serve as an example?? My God, this is embarassing!
"Ronaldinho and Rivaldo were so endearingly arrogant, now guys like Paulinho (can't get into the Spurs team) and Gustavo (plays for Wolfsburg) have come in to fill the void and and now it's just unjustified arrogance."
That void has been filled by Neymar and Oscar, in this team. Imagine if it was the other way around, with Kleberson and Emerson being replaced by Neymar and Oscar? Looks a bit better, doesn't it?
"You have to look away when they walk out onto the pitch with their hands on each other shoulders."
You do. I don't have to look away. As if there isn't an insane amount of superstition in sports. Now Brazil isn't allowed to do something as innocent as that? Feck off!
"Then the anthems, where Brazil every time have to one up their opponents by screaming the bloody thing. It's not signing with pride, its screaming and it's quite frankly embarrassing."
The guys can't even hear themselves well amongst the crowd! There are 60.000 of your countryman singing the anthem around you and you're not supposed to be fired up?
"Neymar even cried for goodness sake, did you see any Germans doing that in 2006?"
This guy is completely ignorant! Most germans don't see patriotism too well after what happened last century. In fact, most of the players don't even sing the anthem! They're proud of other things, as they should be. This just shows how absolutely clueless this poster is.
"That's the thing with Brazil, they lack respect for their opponents, they are not humble."
*Luiz pointing to James and asking for applause.*
"Brazil think they are owners of football, better than every other nation with their samba culture and that the world cup is their to be collected."
Lmao, we don't. And most of us don't even like samba. It's just that you're a blinded presumptuous fool. =)
