Semi-final # 2 - Brazil vs Spain

Although the Spain seen this year is not at the same level as the one who won the WWC last year (and suffered unpredictible losses, as the one vs Italy in the Nations' League), I would be truly shocked if Brazil managed to advance to the final at their expense.

Just tuned in and saw the scoreboard. Then I saw the goal and was like.

 

If Spain lose vs Brazil, I believe the WC curse is real.

 

Brazil is playing really good and should have scored another one.

 

WOW. 2:0 for Brazil.

 

Spain has clearly been bought off.

 

Brazil is playing it really smart and those counter-attacks are dangerous.

 

I root for Brazil but we can't write off Spain yet. They did come from 2-0 behind to beat Colombia. They had 75% possession in the first half.

 

I’m not counting Spain out, but Colombia was the 23rd ranked team. Brazil is now top 10.

 

I don’t know why? They are just wasting everyone’s time. Brazil won’t do shit in the final.

Tbf, Spain has been so suspect this entire tournament. It appears Spain fell off when Jorge left, which sucks to say because he sucks.

 

3-0 off a wild pinball sequence

 

Nooooo! Soccer is stupid anyway.

 

Crazy game.....I love it.

 

Brazil always plays the US tough - almost every match between them has been decided by a single goal or less.
The team is peaking at the right time, beating the hosts and destroying the WC champs.
They're getting Marta back from suspension for the final game of an international career that's seen so many runner-up finishes but no titles yet.
Hollywood wrote this. I'm convinced Brazil gets gold. And I wouldn't be mad.

 

5 minutes plus added time left for two goals
Spain shot against the bar

 

We need 16 minutes of added time. C’mon, Spain. 4 more goals!

 

I will rewatch this game for the german commentator alone....haha. He is awesome.

 

Glad for Brazil, Marta especially deserves it.

 

OMG...

 

What a terrible day of soccer. I hate this sport.

 

4:1 What is Cata Coll doing there?

 

This must be one of the greatest Olympic semi-finals of all time

 

I know why, but what a send-off for Marta it would be if Brazil pulls it off.
