2014 FIFA World Cup™ Semi-Finals: Germany vs Brazil| Tuesday, Jul 8, 3:00 PM

Except maybe for Coutinho and definitely Lucas Moura this is kinda their best.
I personaly like Firminho just like plenty Brazilian supporters but even they acknowledged it was hard to get a place
Maybe Scolari has gotten tactics wrong maybe he made a mistake or 10 when it comes to the first team but the players (23) selected themselves. Sure we like to kid around and make fun of Fred but he kinda is the best CF they had and he was decent at the Confedderations Cup which BTW should be known as kiss of death cup

 

I was in Berlin, and the people that knew me were awesome, the ones that didn't would cross the street before talking to me.

 

Yup, that's northern Germany. This is us...Bavarians are friendly.

 

I abandoned a while ago and have put a lot of trolls on ignore

I never went to the Oktoberfest =( was too busy with the northerners but busy in a good way! I need to go back and do what Germany did to Brazil in Germany, you know as a fun vengeance type of thing

 

Are you and @Fernando_Bayern_BR friends? He wants to go to Germany as well!

LMAO!

 

Brazil’s victory in the World Cup in 2002 ensured that not a single investigation or prosecution would be pursued.

THIS!!!!

Brazil is result driven, looking for blame when we lose and when we win there's nothing wrong with us.

 

The part of the myth is kind of silly, We haven't had that type of football since 1986 and our league champions have been defensive sides since 2010.

It's like people that still say the Dutch play total football... it's been over 30 years you know!

Also the running Brazil 1970 into the ground.. that's just for reading pleasure, they lose to Argentina and they are the chokers of the world yet again.

 

I still don't think the 2 teams are that far apart. If they played the best of 3 games, I wonder how it would go. I personally believe the result had a lot to do with luck. If you look at the statistics or watch the replay of the entire game it showed something different: Total Shots: Brazil 18, Germany 14, Shots on Goal: Brazil 13 Germany 12, Fouls Brazil 11 Germany 14, Possession Brazil 51% Germany 49%, Corners Brazil 7 Germany 5. On paper, to this point, Brazil looks like the winner. At least they are equal. So why the crazy score? Saves: Brazil 5 Germany 12. Watching the game, all of the shots on goal by Brazil were blocked or right into the keeper's hands. The German goals seemed to be all quick shots...1 touch knock ins that were hard to defend. Either the keeper was lined up with them or not. For the Brazilians, they had poor luck and all of their shots on goal didn't go in. I don't think this is Scolari's fault. I like him as a manager. I don't think this Brazilian squad is as good as others in the past. Yes, I think Germany is better, just not as much as the score showed. Luck has had a lot to do with many of the games. (ball hits the post, etc.).

 

They took advantage of every space left by Brazil and there were many, many spaces. When they were required to they finished in clinical fashion. The first order for Argentina must be to find a way to keep the Germans from finding so much room to maneuver. They were even passing it around in the Brazilian area.

In my opinion as bad as Brazil were in that match, the only team who could have taken advantage to such a shocking level was Germany.

 

As I said in another forum, Brazil getting thrashed 5-0 or 6-0 by the dutch would actually be a GOOD thing.
Scolari is spreading his ridiculous theory about how the whole result was a "fluke" caused by a "6-minute-blackout" and that this was a "brilliant World Cup for Brazil" without any mistakes being made.

We need to get beaten HARD in order to come out of the tournament in shambles and expose how bad the team really is and how lame was the whole preparation (Brazil hardly trained anything).

If we want to get rid of Scolari, Parreira and the other dinosaurs and have a real shot about changing the state of football in Brazil (enough of the pragmatic thing already - and CBF, I'm looking at you), we need to get owned. Considering the 3rd-place match means nothing, this is the time!

Brazil was under huge pressure to win the Cup, they didn't play well well any game besides maybe Columbia first period.

For national team that had amazing strikers like R9, Ronaldinho/Romario/Bebeto, Muller and Careca, you can't get much out players like Hulk/Fred/Jo...

Sadly Today we have no such players to Help Neymar on the field,

 

The final stat lines of this match are very deceiving, because Löw effectively called off the dogs - who hadn't even broken a sweat - after about 35 minutes.
Germany have no reason whatsoever to 'hate' Brazil, there aren't any direct rivalries, therefore no need to run up the score to prove a point, but if they make it this easy........
If he hadn't told his boys to relax and let enough be enough, this could have gone into double digits.
Julio Cesar might have walked off at some point, crying, leaving his guys to position themselves in front of the goal, trying to block a German fusillade of never before seen proportions.
Personally, I think the second goal was already the fatal blow, based on the facial expressions and body language of the Brazilian players.

 

Actually the Germans were very clear when they said we would not humiliate Brazil wouldn't stop playing so they could have their dignity... They played till the end, hence Neur going ape shit on their defense when they made a mistake that cost them a goal.

But it's ok we can pretend that didn't happen, and we can make up what we think they said instead of what they themselves said.

Germans are very different than Americans, we think running up the score is unsportsmanlike, they think giving up and just not playing is more humiliating.

 

their actual quote is..

"We just made it clear that we had to stay focused and not try to humiliate them. We said we had to stay serious and concentrate at halftime. That's something you don't have to show on the pitch you are playing."

That sounds like we will take them serious all the way till the end and will not humiliate them by not doing so. Anybody that has played sports here knows that there is nothing worse and more humiliating than an opponent beating on you and they stop playing. That is the most humiliating thing there is...
