Oh boy slaughter round 2 coming

[Jefe]

I don't really get why some people can just stand there w/ their hands on their hips and claim 'they don't give a fuck about a game' when they clearly do. Lol fuck posting from aphone

this really would have been just as bad as the semi if he'd given the red card like he should have, I'm guessing he realized he had to take serious action but couldn't just end the game like sending out silva at that point would have so he decided to give the penalty and a yellow

Honestly that's the only reason he didn't. 2 mins in red would've made it a slaughter. But I think he should've followed the rules. Might become a slaughter anyway

ref trying sooooooooooo hard to keep brazil in this from the very start

[Mayareira]

Brazil's been showing signs of life for a while now, they can salvage something from this game.

[Plow]

they keep wondering why there's been dutch defenders pushing up around the brazil 18, seems exceedingly obvious to me at this point that the way to score on this brazilian team is to have your pressure towards the goal and then have bodies right behind to drop it back to because brazil just falls asleep as soon as the ball moves backwards from their 6

[Tyrath]

Wow the first wrong call against Brazil. First diving card for a non dive lol

Lots of posts about a pointless fucking game.

It is 3RD PLACE and you get a MEDAL for it!!!

I wish the NFL did this, the losers of the NFC and AFC championship games could play and it would be worse than the Pro Bowl.

It's like some people actually enjoy watching the game.

[Tyrath]

Welp they just had to put that final nail in the coffin

[Mayareira]

3rd place games are more or less disliked by everyone but kept for extra revenue purposes.

Look at Brazil, man they lost 7-1 fırst and 3-0 after. 50 years from today they will still be talking about this disastrous period of theirs. And they are the home side.

Hopeful, yet Hopeless

Brazil 2014

[Plow]

honestly I think the reffing they got this entire tournament is as big a factor in how embarrassing this is as anything

Dutch are reeeeeeeeeally promising going forward if they can find replacements for Sneijder and Kuyt; if Robben and Nigel are still around for next WC they'll definitely still be a threat to win.

Now you see why these 3rd place games are being played? The medals are being served by women dressed up as cabin crews of Quatar/Emirates Airways. Milking everything they can think of.

Dutch has always been promising. Robben...I don't think so, his gameplay is very reliant on agility and speed, which will surely diminish by age. I'd say we may have a more useful Sneijder for the next WC than Robben.

Next world cup, unless a wonder pops out of nowhere we will see a less creative Holland for sure...not necessarily worse, but they will have to adjust their gameplay.

I hope you are just being a really staunch supporter of soccer here and not missing the point this badly.

Is that why the US hockey team got merced in the bronze medal game Bregor? American dun care about 3rd place, not first = last
