Agro Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Turns out that playing great defense doesn't mean shit if you can't score. Who knew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 Based center backs. Well, we actually played a good match for once, until we scored the 2nd goal. Then we played badly. But overall, a big improvement from the Chile game. We might have a shot at taking down the mighty Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Well, we actually played a good match for once, until we scored the 2nd goal. Then we played badly. But overall, a big improvement from the Chile game. lolnope :P Sorry, I admit I only got in after 25 mins. But your players were clinging on desperately and hoofing it anywhere... with half an hour left. You were 'helped' against Croatia, awful against Mexico, average against Cameroon (who are shit), really lucky against Chile, and on balance indifferent against Colombia, and the only tactic to beat them was 'kick Rodriguez off the park'. Which yeah it worked, but I really don't want to see this Brazil side win the trophy. It does feel like an arduous - and to be really honest, somewhat manufactuered - march to the title.

Rodrigo Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I know you guys will say I'm biased, but we did play well this game. The commentators from ESPN (who were very critic on our performances) said we were doing well, until we scored the 2nd goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yes, Brazil played quite well for most of the match. Is it enough to beat GERMANY? lolno Though, Germany has a track record of losing to brazil in important matches, so...yeah. Still rooting for Germany tho.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Well that's my interest in this over. <_< Belgium's tournament in summary: the 'golden generation'; a team of individual superstars who never really added up to the sum of their parts, never really clicked, didn't loom a united team spirit with the pouting and moaning, looked unconvincing in every game they played and frequently wobbled against minnows, before finally being dumped out by the first half decent team they played in the quarter finals. Or in other words: they're the new England. :( Argentine looked like they were starting to get through the gears. Great goal too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflame Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Aww yusssss, it happened, semifinals, finally! Expected more from Belgium, yeah. They have some young and decent players though, the next WC might be their time to truly shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildflame Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Respect, Costa Rica, RESPECT. They played like champions. Netherlands isn't anything special (although they do have a very smart coach), we can do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I hope either Germany (Because GERMANY), or Netherlands (because I want a new winner this year) wins the entire thing. Go home brazil and argentina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I hope either Germany (Because GERMANY), or Netherlands (because I want a new winner this year) wins the entire thing. Go home brazil and argentina. I am in the "anyone but Brazil" camp (although I can't really lambast them so much given how Belgium were also bad for 5 games). The other three have all swung from brillant to indifferent throughout the tournament (thought Argentina looked good in flashes yesterday). Guess it's impossible to be amazing seven games in a row and I'm too harsh, and it's about hitting your peak at the right time. Also, Costa Rica defended like heroes last night. Shame they couldn't do it on penalties. Holland looking all set to choke again. So, what's all this about van Gaal changing the goalkeeper for the penalties eh?

Maeriberii Haan Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 It probably isn't something big, and he just want to play it safe by not using a GK that had played for 120 mins straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Ash Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Krul is taller, he can reach more of the goal. Argentina were my pre-WC pick to win it all, and they're in a good position now. Make it happen Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 So for some reason when I woke up today I remembered I had dreamed being at home and switching the TV on to see a game on with the score at Brazil 1 - Colombia 6. Saw Colombia make it 7 with 10 minutes to go before I woke up. Jackson Martinez, was a cracker as well. But then I also remember Sylvan Hermitree was playing a rather immobile centre back for Brazil for some reason, so maybe this is less of a sign of what Germany might do tonight and more an indicator that I should lay off the blue cheese :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Well... this is... just bizarre :huh: This could still end in double figures Also, because both Colombia and Germany have similar black and red second kits: So for some reason when I woke up today I remembered I had dreamed being at home and switching the TV on to see a game on with the score at Brazil 1 - Colombia 6. Saw Colombia make it 7 with 10 minutes to go before I woke up. Jackson Martinez, was a cracker as well. You may bow down and call me Nostradamus now.
