2014 FIFA World Cup

[TroutMaskReplica]

Apparently that's the first time Brazil have ever lost two straight competitive matches?

In 1974 they lost to Holland then Poland apparently.

De Vrij had an amazing world cup.

But the (dutch?) defender of the tournament is Mr. Roncrete Ron Vlaar

And jesus h. christ, I wouldn't even let that referee whistle a toddler match.

Last time I trust tweets disguised as stats Also lost to France in the 2006 World Cup and then their next competitive game against Mexico in the Copa America.

I knew there was a English translation for Ron Beton!

Should have done more to stop Diego Costa from switching to Spain. Sure they could have done something to get him to not opt for Spain instead.

The worst thing is that Diego Costa was willing to play for Brazil. He clearly wanted to. But Felipão came and said ''Hey, Fred is better than you, fuck your 30+ goals in a single season''. Do you seriously want someone to play for a manager that says something like that after the season you've had?

And Adriano, lol

EDIT: Agree with TCO, Brazil could play with a false nine and it would do much more good than harm. But Felipão is so conservative that the idea of a ''False Nine'' never crossed his mind, ever.

What about that Brazilian ST Spurs are always buying? Is he injured?

[Jimmy]

Already mentioned. He's just not been very good.

[brenchill]

Worse than Fred?

[King Ellis]

Better off with Fred Flintstone.

[Ant]

I'd rather have Barney up front than Fred.

EDIT: Ellis

[brenchill]

Neymar, Costa (when fit) and Willian would have been one hell of a front 3. I think Hulk pretty much proved at this WC why no big club has picked him up yet... he's not actually very good.

[stokeriño]

I am most glad we didn't actually sign Hulk that summer that AVB really-really-really wanted him.

[brenchill]

Drogba is the only striker who's allowed to be good at Chelsea anyway

[stokeriño]

Lucky he was so awesome then.

(Although Anelka was great too)

[Rafael]

Worse than Fred?

Yep. At least Fred scored twice this season.

[stokeriño]

Stokerina has enough difficulty convincing me to go out for evenings with her work friends at the best of times.

On the day of the World Cup Final? When I have a £50 sweepstake riding on the result?

Aha. Ahahaha. Ha.

[Colly]

Works night out on a Sunday? Weirdos.

That game would be right up there with the best of all time if it allowed you to beat up Pitbull with a baton.

Hey nothing wrong with a Sunday night out. Well we did Sunday afternoon cause this place used to do bottles of Stella for a pound and have live music on.

But on the day of the world cup final?!?!
