World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 9 (22 June)

CR really should be 1-0 up at half time. What the fuck is wrong with Brazil!

It's encouraging to me as an England fan that other teams seem to have their shortfalls. England are in no way complete, but were written off doing well in the WC before they even qualified whereas teams like Germany and Brazil have been talked about as almost certainties to get to the latter stages. It may all change, but it certainly gives me more hope.

WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE CUP!

Unlucky.

Much better from Brazil.

Paulinho has created at least three chances this half.

Have Costa Rica heard of offside. Their forwards keep running hilariously offside, instead of holding their runs.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Goodness me. CR can't hold out like this much longer.

I know they're doing all they can just to get in Brazil's third, but they are woeful when they do. They've had a good few opportunities if you ask me.

And another one...

Someone needs to have a word and tell him to start shooting from distance or getting on the end of crosses with his head.

Firmingo on

Agree with you. If England had a world class CM I think they'd go a long way. Actually even a decent passer in there, like Carrick during his peak years (not now obviously) would make a such a difference.

TBH I haven't been impressed by many of the big guns in the tournament. Croatia last night were good and Belgium in the 2nd half of their game were not bad albeit against weak opposition.

How can he not even hit the target? What an overrated player

Going for the Hollywood blockbuster finish, rather than just side foot it in.

I’ve said before Henderson is basically a knock off Carrick. If we had peak Carrick I’d fancy us to go far, based on the evidence so far.

Neymar drives me mad. Such a show pony.

 

[DFF]

Dopey ****.

 

[Deleted member 27855]

What the hell!?!? If they actually give this....

 

[Marty]

Oh FFS.

It just so sums up Neymar's attitude that he'd rather go down like a wimp and win a penalty than take a shot with a huge scoring chance.

No penalty!!!!! Brilliant VAR-ing.
