Brazil are collapsing. Red card now, right old nasty leap onto the thigh.

f*cking brilliant

at the start of the tournament i got 80/1 on a germany-netherlands final (one of the many bets i put on pre tournament) and only put on £2.50

gonna enjoy laughing at the silly c*nts who walk around in brazil tops

It annoys me when Brazil are always favorites, so I find it funny to see them go out. They are always better than England, but like England they always fall short. You get teams like Germany and Italy that win it more in recent years. Hopefully none of them win it this year. Only Germany left really.

Except for all the times they win the whole thing?

I picked Holland to win it all before the tournament. Interesting game cause it was more of a grind it out game from Holland, wasn't always pretty.

And LOL at Huntelaar. I'm not saying he shouldn't be happy and celebrate but he came on for like ten minutes and completely blew two chances.

Brazil goalkeeper messed the whole thing up, they were comfortable until the keeper did a Robert Green, prat.

When was the last win?

But otherwise I agree. They are and have been a better team than a lot of other teams since their last world cup wins.

1994 and 2002

BTW Robben is the worst flopper in the sport. Fact.

I don't remember any of that. I cried lots of tears after the 1990 loss, I Remember nothing since. Just the way it is.

brazils 2nd team would be too much for england to handle as would spains, argentinas, italys etc


we just fall into the trap of believing our own hype!

I'm not saying we are good, just that Brazil haven't won for 4 decades or so either. They are clearly better and have been so over the years.
