The Official 2014 FIFA World Cup Thread

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

The Brazilian supporters cheerfully chant "Ole" each time a German touched ball.

Even Brazil the nation hates Brazil the team.

Are you sure it isn't people taking a stab against Fred?

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

Place your bets, 8?

Brazil will score 1 before the game ends in 4 minutes.

Você é um portorriquenho muito pé quente, sabe.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

Yeah, police have said that they'll escort the German fans out to make sure they aren't attacked.

The Brazilian players, too, I'd imagine.

No, you're wrong, they didn't any wrong... you see, Bra71lians are such solidary people, that they decided to homage Neymar and get immobilized themselves too.

[Gaveo]

ESPN 2 is showing the game again.

Don't mind watching it before I go to bed. :3

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

"Brasiiiil decime que se siente, perder 7 a 1 de Alemaniaaaa"

You forgot that your [ex-]neighbors love to laugh about their own misery?

Pele de boi, carne de piranha, enquanto você lia, gol da Alemanha!

Fred é um cone, Neymar só apanha, não dê uma risadinha, ou é pedala da Alemanha!

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

Wish we Argies could say the same.

Is it any good that I am rooting for both?

So Estado Paulista, Brazil still the best team in the world now?

It's the third best according to FIFA and the best according to Elo, I don't think we're the best — and FYI, I never said that — but we're in a very good position compared to the other countries.

Rankings don't mean much if you don't live up to them, TBH.

Spain is another big example.

[Etzopia]

Brazil drove a tank. Germany destroyed that tank with a massive sledgehammer. Therefore immobilizing them.

Brazil's still good, I'm pretty sure this was just an anomaly.

Shit happens. Germany (as well as Spain, to a lesser extent) are a great, disciplined, well-organized and motived team. As much as it pains for me to say it — and it really does — they deserved that win, and they saved their best for us. However, I wouldn't say we're not living up to our rankings and history. We might not be the best in the world anymore, but I can safely say we're among the top five at least.

[Degenerate Heart of HetRio]

It's one of our worst teams in our generation, Arum.

Third best doesn't mean much when they get murdered.

[Maldovania]

The fact that Germany won was not a surprise.......But 7-1 that was surprising

Well, technically they did. They will after all be placed 3rd or 4th this cup.

pretty funny to watch an entire nation of 200m cringe. great result.

Yes, it does. But the fact that you insist on rating a team's quality based on only one game shows how much you know about football.

I can say that Brazil swinged from decent to mediocre to bad during the whole cup, hitting its highest points against Colombia.

I dunno how you performed in the qualifiers, though.

A lot happened in that game. We did a mediocre campaign for our standards but as you said, all teams have their ups and downs.

We did great.

On 8 July 2014, they taught Brazil how to play football.

Considering I live in the Aerican Empire, of course I don't know much about football. The national sport here is Boule Lyonniase.

But anyways, any word on riots in the streets of Brazil yet? I haven't checked LiveLeak in a while so I'm behind on the news.

Me and most of my Facebook friends had tons of fun with Bra71l, and lots of people were for Brazil to get out of the Cup for political reasons.

[Kaylea]

Brazil are a good team, but their entire way of playing football was defeated by the German philosophy. Not just the 11 on the pitch. The whole game you see David Luiz lumping the ball or getting closed down because he has no outball in midfield. Brazil's were humbled by Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Khedira. Who were physical enough to hold the ball and were able to pass at will to the world class runners ahead of them. Paulinho, Fernandinho and Luis Gustavo were hopeless, out of position and unable to affect their opposition trio's distribution, getting bypassed on the counter.

The 7-1 was a combination of the pressure on the players and their total tactical failure. They can still beat Germany on their day, but the whole tactic was wrong, starting with the attacking posture from the start.

Not really an excuse, but okay.

Nah. I bet the kids got bored and decided to spend summer in a healthier way.

But what about the adults? Will they riot?
