Chelsea, really ? While i do not deny that we have our share of plastics (any top successful club has) but you are putting chelsea over Barcelona (which gets a new fan every 3rd minute because some bored guy discovered to string together M-E-S-S-I in youtube search bar) and Rolando Madrid ?

 

o.O

 

damn, i am not sure if that is a compliment or a thing to be enraged about :P

I am a Barcelona fan from 2 days back for exactly the reason you mentioned.

What is this Chelsea you speak of? The one where sh*t like Torres plays?

All his club mates advanced but him. Vblkw3V.gif

(World class defender, but always overshadowed by Silva and Luiz for Brasil)

Post match:

 

"Of course," said Germany midfielder Toni Kroos, the Man of the Match, when asked whether he felt pity for Brazil. "Normally the difference is not that big as it was today. They have great players and they had the higher pressure on their shoulders. We didn't allow them to become dangerous. We took all the balls from them."

 

"I think we lost a match to a great team and I think not even they believed it," said Scolari, who took the blame and apologized to the home fans. "The chats we had, they said they don't know how this happened. They have five [early] chances and scored five goals. They have great skills and we respect that."

 

Löw:

 

"Brazil is normally an outstanding team, but if you are under so much pressure it is very difficult," Loew said. "We know how Scolari feels and the Brazilian team, and the people in Brazil feel.
"We in our own country missed the chance to make the final and it is an enormous deception to any country," added Loew, who lost to Italy in the semifinals of Germany 2006 as the top assistant to then-head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. "This defeat for Brazil will be difficult to digest and, in spite of all that until today, they played a magnificent World Cup."

Disagree with Löw, Brazil have had a pretty average world cup and have barely scraped through some matches. It was only a matter of time before they hit a brick wall.

 

Neuer, in this case...

 

I have the same feeling about the Netherlands. I'm not sure if they'll make it through. Some of my Dutch friends agree with me that even a loss today would be a good result as expectations were low at the start of the tournament

Fair enough. With the three most talked about players from the WC playing at Barcelona next season - Neymar, Messi and Suarez - it will be like moths to a flame.

 

But I don't think I'll ever get over Chelsea's before and after (Abrahmovic) image.

Well Germany hasn't had any good games either except that Portugal streamroll. They barely won with 1 goal with each team, went in extra time against Algeria and a 2-2 draw against fking Ghana, so I don't get why their dismal performance is swept under the rug. If anything, this 7-1 game might come back and bite them in the a*s in the finals.

^ Based on that you could also say they raise their game against the big teams.

If they can do it on demand then I'd say they're even more competent team than the Jerry circlejerk would have you believe.

Yea, like other teams won 5-0 every game. Different opponent, different formation and position -> different result.

(also, if Löw used 4-2-3-1 with Lahm at RB in group stage, things would have been different. ;))

Brasil is nothing without Neymar & Silva. Their attacking was nowhere to be found yesterday and defense was joke. Germany used it to their advantage, held player position (unlike Brasil defenders who were running up front to score) and played as a team.

Also,

Fair point.

 

Which is why I keep whining about 4-2-3-1 over 4-1-4-1. Lahm is a specialist RB and should be kept as such. DM = no no
