WORLD CUP 2014

[eXtr3m3]

Even when the guy got someone's Elbow in the face when he was reaching for the head, he didn't give a shit. Like for fuck sake, the japanese ref. was favorable for Brazil... fucking douche. He should have been killed in Hiroshima or Nagasaki...

 

 

A little harsh there, don't you think? But I do agree, the referee did seem a little Brazilian sided, but that's football. You're always going to have referees who favor one team more than another. For instance, look at Howard Webb. He's been kissing Manchester United ass for years, and it's pretty damn obvious, but nothing is done about it.

 

 

EDIT: More talk about the game and squads. Brazil is a very talented team, and it is almost necessary for them to win the World Cup. Personally, I'd rather not have them win, but considering all the money they've spent on this event, they need to win it or else there will be all hell released in the streets. I have so many Brazilian friends explaining the amount of violence in Brazil right now because they are giving all of the money to the building of stadiums for the World Cup and stuff, instead of rather trying to take care of the poor people. If they don't win, Brazil will not be a popular tourist attraction for some time.

 

 

I do not see Brazil getting far with the way they played against Croatia. They absolutely cannot continue on like that. People have considered Brazil's defense to be the best in the World, but I completely disagree. Of course, you have Thiago Silva and David Luiz in the back, but they play Marcelo and Dani Alves in the fullback positions, who aren't really known for being great defenders. Marcelo is good, not great, and Dani Alves is marginal at best. Alves is only admired because of his attacking ability as a defender, which is a good quality to have.

 

 

 

I'd like to see Croatia bounce back from that loss and make their way out of the group. The squad consists of so many talented players, and it would be very sad to not see them pass the group stage. Players like Mandzukic, Modric, Olic, Rakitic, and Perisic make their team one that everyone is willing to watch.
