3rd Place: Brazil - Netherlands

[Guney]

We aren't in the final, but we are showing South-Americans how to beat Brazil, so we got that goin' on for us, which is nice.

Id say Brazils biggest problem is their attack. The fact that theyre throwing 9 people forward and still cant score a goal of course youre gonna be vulnerable. But at least score...

I agree with this. Individually their defense is good. Dani Alves, Silva are arguably the best in their position and Marcelo was first choice for Madrid and was among the best in the last few seasons. He was not great defensively but was okish. Then Dante was very good for Bayern for last 2 seasons. They should have selected Miranda and Luis though. With them and a good manager they would have been very hard to beat and score against.

ManUtd scored 4 and Arsenal scored 3 against Milan when Silva was playing as a CB. When your whole team sucks 1 defender can't make much difference. Yeah could have saved 1 or 2 goals may be.

We have saying in my language.. "I keep saying its a bull, he keeps telling me milk it".

No matter what you say, people keep repeating the same thing over and over again.

 

[monster09]

Lol I cant believe you remember that Man Utd game . TS was not as good back then.

I get what you mean, but remember he marked RVP outta the game and Milan won 4-0 when it mattered.

One of our best performance against Milan and Park had Pirlo in his back pocket. How can I ever forget that game.

He didn't mark out RVP. In fact RVP missed easiest chance of the game which could have ended Milan hopes.

 

[Devious]

wooh, Brazil are actually playing worse than Inter

 

[Bzzlightyear]

I hope one day Juan Jesus will lead the Brazilian Defense one day and hopefully the coach will be with more brains

 

[Ronaldo]

I hope one day Brazilians stop going to teams that take away their Brazilian identity away from them.

 

[Aurel]

Hernanes timee

 

[Ronaldo]

Hernanes in Muntari mode..

 

[Bergpavian]

Hernanes ...

This referee ...

 

[Ronaldo]

Maicon still got it

Vlaar has been impressive through out this tournament. How much would he cost?

How was that not a penalty?!!


Yes, FIFA wants Brazil to win..

 

[monster09]

Clear penalty but ref gave yellow to Oscar

 

[Aurel]

Wow this "dive" get's a yellow...well done ref. The ref in this game has been awful.

 

[Fapuccino]

Thiago Silva shouldve gotten red, but Holland has gotten a non merited penalty, offside goal, and penalty disallowed since.

 

[Native]

Diving fucking canaries get fucking fucked, worst team in fooball history this is. Completely reliant on diving. And then people QQ about Robben...

 

[Bergpavian]

Austrian commentary: "The 'dive' of Oscar was so brutal that Blind hurt himself."

 

[monster09]

Thiago Silva shouldve gotten red, but Holland has gotten a non merited penalty, offside goal, and penalty disallowed since.

But if Brazil were down to 10 game would have been lot different. Yeah controversial decisions though, ref has missed many.

Btw Vlaar is arguably the best CB in this WC. Shame though he won't be in the team of the WC as he isn't a big name.

This level of bias almost surpasses crzd's.

 

[Fapuccino]

Brazil defending has actually been good. 2 unmerited goals beside TS red card.

But who in Germany wouldve burned Thiago Silva for pace ....Ozil?

 

[monster09]

Oh not sure who was more impressive. Vlaar or Vrij. Maybe I would say Vrij than Vlaar now as Vrij was brilliant on ball and was the one who carried the ball forward. So composed on the ball.
