The FIFA World Cup 2014 Thread

Germany haven't scored for 20 minutes. What an absolute shower. A disgrace...

Yeah... -_-

Was not expecting this in the least...

Captcha - 'lie low'... good advice to anyone not Brazilian in Brazil, presumably after this evening (provided the result remains as at half-time).

 

[SirDerpy]

5-0 right now and probably going higher later on.

This might be the most tragic match of the Cup yet. And Brazil, too, the home team. The Brazilina team's not going to get out of this one alive.

 

[JoJo]

Holy shit, six nil. Loving this since Germany has been my second since England went home early, Germany against Argentina would be a great way to finish this World Cup

 

[Eleuthera]

7-0 now, WTF?

 

[Parasondox]

7 and Germany are looking for more. Come on Germans, they have suffered enough.... Ahahahah nah I am kidding. They know how to build a team.

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh wie ist das schöööööööööööööööööööön....ohhhhhhhhhhhh wie is das schön

Seriously, though: poor Brazil, losing so harshly in their own country, damn - at least they scored once now, sheesh....

OT: Come on Germany, make it 8. We've got Bra7il right now but I think 8razil could work too.

EDIT: Looks like it's going to be Bra71l in the end.

 

[Uhura]

I've never seen a game like this. I hope Brazil manages to re-group before their next game and I hope there won't be any riots/violence after this game. Geez... 7-0


EDIT: 7-1

 

[tm96]

Already twitter is making fun of Brazil.

 

[Shamanic Rhythm]

Love how the commentators went "Oh look, the germans are furious they let in that one goal."

This is embarrassing for a world cup semi.

 

[Parasondox]

Already twitter is making fun of Brazil.

Of course they are. Its Twitter and the sport pundits will have a field day.

 

[Xan Krieger]

Guess the germans know they can't overextend themselves in soccer and blitzkrieged the Brazilians on their home turf. Also someone is selling the Brazil team's dignity on e-bay, I didn't think they had dignity left after that game.

At least they got one, that saves them a little bit of dignity.

 

[Diablo2000]

Wow, just wow...
I was expecting Brazil to lose, but this was a huge beatdown. 7-1, damn...

 

[lacktheknack]

To quote someone elsewhere on this forum, "World Cup 2014 just had its Red Wedding".

Any news on whether any part of Brazilian civilization is still standing?

 

[Total LOLige]

Love how the commentators went "Oh look, the germans are furious they let in that one goal."

They were proper rimming Germany. The english commentators always praise the winning team furiously, never commenting on their mistakes just the good stuff and acting like they're the best thing since sliced bread until they lose. Everyone was bigging Brazil up throughout the tournament and now they're saying that it's the worst Brazil side ever.

Brazil needed this guy today:

I think I jinxed Fred by betting on him to be top goalscorer.

 

[The Goat Tsar]

Fred better find a place to hide or score 5 goals in the 3rd place match. It seems like Brazil has decided to blame him for this whole debacle, judging by how much they booed him that match.

 

[Rozalia1]

I watched the game with my father as we do every world cup, and I was actually told to stop laughing as I was just overwhelmed by those 5 goals in the span of 15 minutes in the first half. I'd told him before the match that Germany was going to win with ease (though I didn't expect 7-1), he thought Brazil would win... so he wasn't too happy for a while but he later started having a laugh.

I suppose after the Germans, the happiest people will be the Portuguese. After all this scoreline against Brazil of all teams makes their drubbing look reasonable by comparison.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

Ohh...oh Brazil...do you...do you guys need a hug? ;_; They were never all that solid at the back but I never would have foreseen what a complete defensive omnishambles Brazil are without Thiago Silva to organise the back line. Can't believe they killed the game within the first half hour. Fred has to be the most useless first choice striker Brazil has ever produced, Hulk's been disappointing all tournament, Fernandinho looked completely lost, Willian was much more deserving of a starting place than Bernard and David Luiz once again illustrates why putting someone who's essentially a center midfielder in defence is a bad idea; why he was overrated at Chelsea and why PSG are fucking mental for shilling out £50m for him. Really hope Holland can pull off the ultimate revenge for 74 and 78 because I really won't have anyone to root for in a Germany Vs Argentina final. The Argies have been the most mediocre side to reach the semi's, I mean they really should be looking better with the talent they have, winning by one goal each game against pretty pedestrian opposition (I'd say with the exception of Belgium if they hadn't been equally disappointing to watch) but Ron Vlaar's injury is a huge loss and Messi is always going to be dangerous, so I think it'll be tight but hopefully the Dutch can pull through.

I watched the game at a coffee store and the Brazilian couple sitting next to me left at half time. Don't blame them. At. All.
