Guest Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dutch have nothing to complain about their side of the possible opponents bracket, if they'll manage Mexico, either Greece or Costa Rica is next. Hope they will get better at having more possession, less unnecessary turnovers, defense blindly kicking the ball forward hoping Robben will pick it up with his speed. Link to comment

Hope they will get better at having more possession, less unnecessary turnovers, defense blindly kicking the ball forward hoping Robben will pick it up with his speed. It's not about them getting better, it's about having different tactics against closed teams. They played like that on purpose, excluding turnovers, but that is exactly why they were kicking the ball up the field, to exclude costly and inevitable turnovers against highly-organized pressing. They truly have outstanding chance to reach finals again, the most dangerous sides are on the other half. Link to comment
Adamovich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Full round of 16 (ET) 28 June 12p BRAZIL v CHILE Estádio Mineirão, Belo Horizonte Referee: Howard Webb (England) Excellent ref choice for this match, the Brazillians will hate him so much because he never gives a penalty that easily and usually never stops the game just because someone is lying on the pitch and crying.

chenGOD Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Germany to win it all. Too strong offensively and defensively. Very organized and experienced midfield. Also just to tease a little bit, but so much for the iron will of capello :p Link to comment
gmanyo Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Germany is really good. They're probably gonna win it, but there have been some pretty big upsets this time around. I'd like to see Germany play Brazil, but I'm glad it won't be in the final. Link to comment
goDel Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nah. They are good, but not that good, imo. They'll either out-tikitakad by a team like Brasil, or they'll be stopped by some counter football team like the Netherlands. My feeling is that this world cup will be won by some ugly system though. No more tikitaka. Link to comment

I'd like to see Germany play Brazil, but I'm glad it won't be in the final.For some reason I thought Germany was on the other side of the bracket. Still see them beating Brazil. Nah.

My feeling is that this world cup will be won by some ugly system though. No more tikitaka. Your Oranje defense not strong enough to stop zee Germans. Does Brazil really play tiki-taka? I don't consider what they play tiki-taka...nor is it really their old samba futbol either...pretty direct attacking play with heavy emphasis on the wings. Link to comment

It looked tikitaka-ish with a slice of samba, so it's peeeerfectly reasonable to think they do that all the time. Right? Link to comment
pyramidpanes Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 germany weren't that great against america who nearly scored in the 90th min, & they also drew against ghana,..... im for colombia to win it all, they have been playing fantastic in every game they have played so far, plus they have a wicked post goal dance off Link to comment

kcinsu Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yeah, I went in rooting for Brazil but Chile really should have won. Link to comment
azatoth Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yep. Was rooting for Chile the whole way. Shame about that crossbar shot in the end of ET. The first two penalties by Chile were shit. I just hope that Brazil don't win it all. It would be insufferable. If this is the best they can do, then I don't think there's a chance of that happening. Link to comment

YO303 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 any idiot uruguayan who still defends suarez can go fuck off, he let the country and his teammates down, with him on the pitch Uruguay would have won this game. Link to comment
