kishidan69 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Watching the match today, seemed to me like Brazil playing like Ivory Coast - lots of individual talent, but lacking coordination and support for each other, bouts of complacency. Without Neymar's threat up front, they had nothing. Lots of egos and hearts broken today, I thought they were going to at least redeem themselves at home by lifting for this game. Well done Netherlands, that last injury time goal was sweet (though the Brazilian back line seemed like they couldn't care less at that point!) Quote
kishidan69 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 And who would have predicted this....????? http://metro.co.uk/2014/07/12/north-korea-media-tells-country-that-its-team-has-reached-world-cup-final-4796033/ Quote
kishidan69 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Poor David Luiz, from hero to zero. When he gets it right, it is great. When he gets it wrong, it kills you. Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 the ref made all the wrong calls today.. he sucked, not as bad a Luiz but close .... Respect for Van Gaal for bringing the goalie in for last 2 minutes Quote
kishidan69 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Alright, it's down to the big one. Wonder what the general consensus is like in Brazil now, whether most are hoping for: Germany to win - never will we allow the enemy to taste football glory of the highest order in Brazil (even though the Germans played a significant part in bundling us out of the final), or Argentina to win - although we hate them, Argentina is leading the South American charge to win the Cup in South America - and it will be sweet to see the Germans in defeat, after what they did to us, or Totally disgusted by the current state of affairs - don't care who wins, will not be watching the match Personally, I can't decide which side I will be rooting for. I like this generation of German players and how they play, but am also hoping for Messi (a true class act) to finally achieve the big one (and not let Maradona hog all the glory and prestige anymore) Quote
Crustybeaver Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 My view is Brazil have been vastly overrated. They lack structure, defensively they are terrible and apart from Neymar their strikers are poor. They struggled against Croatia and had they met a solid organised European side at the last sixteen they probably wouldn't have got close to the semis. Brazilian fans shouldn't be so surprised, their team hasn't been relevant for more than a decade. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote

It wil be a home game for the Germans Quote

Ciglione Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Good... so the WC is done and over with... so normal business can continue. And with the germans being very content they will hopefully be very triggerhappy and buy all my sets I listed. Quote
ISO8T0 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I take it you hedged your bets and had some custom Goetze minifigs made? If so you'll make out like a bandit. ;-) Quote

Miami Bomb Squad Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Congratulations to Germany, a well deserve World Cup. Messi........MIA again. Quote
kishidan69 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Great final, great finish by Gotze - the new Super Mario! Argentina had a few great chances - they can only blame themselves for not capitalizing on those eg. Higuain's first half gift header from Kroos. Schweinsteiger - what a warrior! Quote
