Brasil vs. The Netherlands: Third Place Match Game Day Thread

To put it in perspective, Brasil gave up as many goals in these last two games as in the 2002, 2006, and 2010 WCs.... COMBINED.

 

On the giant plus side, Scolari will certainly be fired

Expect big changes for the better

 

atrocious.

 

any other coach ( other than Van Gal ) was able to play all 23 players in a world cup before ?

 

TBH, I was just thinking about the field players, so you're right, we will never see that again.

 

The Dutch much better and there are some interesting young players in the squad. Could well have been playing in the final with better luck in the penalty shootout, but I'm happy it's Argentina.

Wouldn't surprise me if Brazil doesn't qualify to WC18 even, it's a new footballing world.

 

the irony is that this was a brazil team with 'one of the best' defensive teams in the world.

 

think colombia and chile might have lost to brazils shirt
you know, playing against brazil, the huge futbol superpower, in their own home, colombians specially sh***ed their pants, cause they certainly had the team to beat them.
And maybe Chiles ghost was all the times that brazil kicked them out of WC
Germany certainly wouldnt be afraid of brazil cause they have their huge historiy as well
And by the team netherlands got there, brazilian players were already too defeated and demoralized.


I just cant help to think that colombia and chile might have been much competitive semifinalists.

 

Soooo... please someone tell me this means that we won't hear the words "jogo bonito" for the foreseeable future.

 

Classy of Robben applauding the fans. The guy is quickly becoming my fav non arg player.

 

OMG!

 

brazil go to foul + that kind of ref
Chile lost in shootout.

 

Anyone thinks we will see that ref again, i mean EVER.

 

Scolari complaining (pathetically, as always) with the japanese referee just beside him.

Best image of the World Cup.

Poetic justice, anyone?

 

That Mexican fans can be berry, berry annoying.

 

I am happy we (Dutch) leave the WC like this to be honest.
Stated before this match shouldn't be played but right now just happy to see them play and win.
I feel sorry for the Brazilian supporters, with such a history this 2nd defeat is hard to bear.

 

Finally the World Cup is almost over ^^. This was another boring match and Brazil cant score shit. They just cant....they need Neymar badly!!

 

14 goals conceded in wc, brazil broke some kind of record

 

Even when they win? oh, wait...

 

I am happy for this game's outcome.

We have an once in a lifetime chance to actually implode CBF and modernize brazilian football.

Let's do it.

 

Hulk was furious at the end there, probably because people were saying the 3rd place match didn't matter.
