Brazil is playing with fire right now. Net mar is getting good chances though. Probably only a matter of time before he puts one in. This is a good one!

Chile's national anthem sounded like circus music..

 

[MSUDuo]

So no faith? Jeez.

So both getting knocked out in the QFs is no faith?

 

[MSUDuo]

Not what I was saying at all.

Well, by all means please explain. I'm sure I'm not the only one who read it that way.

Us gets credit vs Germany. They have played a great cup and strategically made it to the round of 16. But Germany did not put all of its A team on the field. It's that simple.

The flopping in this Chile game is hard to watch..

2 players. We're talking about 2 players. Of which there is very little drop off from Khedira to Schweinsteiger and Gotze to Podolski. And only one of those two didn't see the field against the USA.

I stand by my comment.

It's part of the game I love that is so annoying.

 

[MSUDuo]

Good for you.

In other news, is someone else besides Holland going to try and impress and take things over? I'd throw France in there but their opposition has been less then stellar as well.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Hey we disagree. That's ok. I think two guys up front make a big difference. Klose and Podolski are no slouches. USA did great. Not trying to say they didn't. They kicked ass. German coach rested some guys. Took a chance in my opinion.

I love US soccer and German soccer. It worked out perfectly.

That Yellow card on Hulk was bad. I think it hit his shoulder

Missed that. I was golfing.

Hulk scored on what at first looked like a hand ball. But it went off his shoulder

 

[VolinMichigan]

What is up with Alexis sanchez's short shorts?

Depends on where on the shoulder. Will have to look at it later.

I thought it was the right call.

 

[MSUDuo]

I thought it was the right call.

Same here. It was the biceps/triceps area

 

[bleedorange0037]

I thought it was the right call.

Looked right to me too. His shoulder was bent and he definitely used it to control the ball. It didn't look like the ball just bounced off it.

 

[hohenfelsvol]

Would love to see penalty kicks

Some of these guys should pursue a career in professional wrestling.
