World Cup Match Thread- Third-Place Play-Off

[DuDe]

Doesn't the winner get a bronze medal or something?

Nope. Just the 'Fuckall Award'.

Lol. This game should be 11 on 10 now. Shocking from the ref. Dissapointed that was Thiago Silva. Really wish it was David Luiz and he was sent off. I cant stand Luiz.

BTW, a 3rd place game is really pointless. Just a way for FIFA to make more money.

shouldn't that be a free kick out side the box and a sending off?

the foul was outside the box.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Well, that was quick.

Hey ref leave the emotions in the tunnel, do your job.

 

[DuDe]

I think you can give that up now. A FIFA-backed team isn't going to lose 7-1...

I know, I just wanted to use it one last time.

 

[DuDe]

Here we go again.

Let's hope so.

Ramires was just dangerously close to hyperextenstion trying to get on the end of that. Wouldnt have been pretty.

Why do people want players sent off so much nowadays. Ruins games. IMO red cards should be resented for dangerous acts and violent acts or proper cheating.

Whilst I agree with you, the law of the game says It should be a red. So it's frustrating for fans of the sport when rules are not upheld correctly.

The ref has a sense of humour.

Great job by Paulinho to take the ball away from Robben and draw the foul. Shouldnt have been a booking though. But ill take it since Paulinho drew it, lol

The Robben yellow?

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Can't get excited about this game really, for reasons already stated.

 

[DuDe]

Christ, this Brazil team really are shit.

Frustrating when it's against you but brilliant when it goes for you or something hilarious happens to a rival, I, personally like this fallable randomness - Adds extra dimensions to the game.

I want to see the rules of the game enforced. It was a clear and obvious goal scoring opportunity and he should have been sent off. It not a rule that I like ( pen + red card ), but according to the letter of the law he should have gone.

 

[nightgoat]

Is Dirk Kuyt actually able to pass the ball forwards?

 

[tobi]

The Robben yellow?

Yes.
