ozvillafan Posted July 5, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 5, 2014 Referee let too much go. Brazil were very physical, which is not how we remember great Brazil teams of the past. That said, Colombia were naive and got drawn into a similar style. They looked better when they just tried to play football in the last 20 minutes - but by then Brazil had (deservedly) done enough to win. Without Neymar and Silva, they will struggle against Germany.

maqroll Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 They are basically screwed with Neymar and Silva out. Germany-Holland looking likely. Seeing as I have Dutch blood in my veins, I'll be rooting for them, even though I despise Arjen Robben and Louis Van Gaal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Shit: Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirms Neymar suffered a broken vertebra and is out of the World Cup. I hope all of the people accusing him of time wasting feel pretty stupid now. I'm sure this is all an elaborate hoax, he's faking, Brazil bought the ref, and it's a disgrace they got away with all of these fouls on those poor poor Colombians. On a side note...Zuniga should probably gtfo of Brazil ASAP. Edited July 5, 2014 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyPowers Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 What a let down that game was. I hate referees who 'manage' the game rather than just applying the rules. Oh I can't possibly book anyone in the first half, that would make things difficult for me if they did a bad foul in the second half..... I can't possibly punish someone for diving and feigning injury, I have to make sure all the players are my friends.... Just apply the **** rules, you're not a **** babysitter.

Genie Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I watched the game, I didn't feel he was being overly biased towards Brazil. What was clear was a reluctance to give yellow cards based on the stupid Fifa rules that 2 yellows = a ban and cards not cleared from the group games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Another reckless Zuniga challenge before he took Neymar out of the tournament. No card shown. Edited July 5, 2014 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've hated this Brazil team since the Confederation Cup last year, so I'm not jumping on any bandwagons. It comes to something when the crowd cheers a player sticking the ball in row Z. the Brazilian greats of yesteryear must be spinning in their graves (the dead ones, obviously) Gerry still plugging away in their own efficient way, so I take them to reach the final now.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Meh, you reap what you sow. They've been getting away with kicking seven shades of shit out of key opposition players, so they can hardly whine that someone put the boot/knee into Neymar. It's a pity for him because he's by far their most exciting player, but my sympathy is for the man and not for Brazil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Tthiago Silva and Neymar both out? I think Brazil will be in the 3rd place play off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs have been far too lenient this world cup...Get the cards out early and stop all these nasty challenges, I thought we had seen the end to those days...

Amo69 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Referee ruined that game yest. All for avoiding bookings where possible and letting the game flow. But that first half was a joke. The tackles on James were bordering assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Neymar is a huge loss. They would have been ok without Silva for one game as they have decent cover but Neymar is almost impossible to replace. Another reckless Zuniga challenge before he took Neymar out of the tournament. No card shown. Zuniga breaks a bone in Neymar's back and could of easily broke Hulk's leg. It's ok though as Brazil were the only team committing fouls! Zuniga and Fernandinho should have both probably been sent off in the game. I can't see Brazil getting past Germany now...
