I want to say thank you so much for destroying Brazil I hope when Sunday comes we have a good match Good luck to your side guys I will be crying whether we win or lose
Can we not tone down our pessimism at the last moment? IMO it has been only that which has kept us in the tournament.
Doesn't Hummels' and Reus' faces look photo-shopped in this photoshoot that was released before the WC?
It will be a very emotional event in my house.....my boys are 18...one's going in the Army and the other is going to college. This could very well be our last WC together. So if we get to share this experience. ..there will be tears shed.
http://www.espnfc.com/league-name/story/1941310/headline This guy has no dignity whatsoever. I'd resign after that debacle. LOL at Carlos Alberto Perriera saying Germany does it the right way. What is ironic about that is Brazil invented modern attacking football, jogo bonito, and now Germany has taken that and are running with it. Now Brazil plays like Germany of old and Germany plays like Brazil of old. How times have changed.
Is it just me or not? I think 3rd/4th place game in WC's are just absolutely shambolic. Neither team really wants to be there and don't really want to risk injuries, but the players don't want to go home in even more shame. Talk about lose-lose situation. I don't know if that is the American mentality, but who cares about 3rd/4th when everyone only cares about the eye on the prize....Really, no one remembers who finished 3rd in 1986, except for the 3rd place team's diehard fans.
I don't think it's so bad - if you win 3rd place then you've managed to save face at least a little bit and if you lose you can just say "no-one cares about 3rd place anyway". I know Germany winning the 3rd place matches in 2006 and 2010 certainly gave me quite a bit of consolation.
So Brazil finishes third and that will take the sting away??? I don't think so. Klinsi's head would be on a pike here in the states if this were the US.
Then you should ask Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey to stay home and not waste their time, yours and other Americans.
Let me help you, all 3 are Americans and finished 3rd,4th,5th respectively in the 2012 Olympics 100m finals. I think they new going in they could never beat Usain Bolt.
The most retarded analogy ever. They all had a chance to win a gold in the final race. Brazil has 0 chance to get a WC winners medal even playing in a consolation. Stop ingesting retard pills.
Winning the 3rd place match will certainly (to a point) soften the curb stomping because "Neymar & Silva were out!"
