3 mins in and Brasil's already falling apart again. That should've been an easy Red.

I didn't watch the game, but from what I heard/read, Brazil was shit the whole game: Felip?o tried several changes, nothing worked (even with Thiago Silva who was suspended back then). First penalty was bs but it probably wouldn't matter. At the end they went strategy-less in desperation for a goal and took another goal. 3-0 lol.

Tomorrow's the day. Go Germany!

Forum was borked when NL was playing.

So yea, we won 3rd place by defeating Brazil 3 to 0. Unfortunately Robben dived again for the first penalty. Sure, Silva slightly "held him back" but it was no big deal to actually drop to the floor. The game further more was frustrating to watch, especially because nothing really happened for a long while until the next goal finally hit. The crowd also turned their "backs" to Brazil by shouting, whistling and such. Must been quite bad feeling.

So yea various news sources are criticizing NL on their performance against Argentina. Not because of the boring match, but because of the changes. They say that if Persie was playing horrible, he could've easily played on so the last change would've been Krul, the penalty killer. Also the first penalty being taken by Ron Vlaar was worst choice ever. Vlaar might be great defender and did outstanding work, but he's just not a penalty shooter. Well, it is of course easy for the critics to speak. If NL would've won, nobody would've complained. Only the haters would've.

Good luck Germany and Argentina tonight. I'm not going to pick a team as I stay faithful to NL and NL lost, so there is no need for me to pick GER / ARG.

May the best team win.

Still, it should have been a foul with or without diving, since the rules only say about holding the opponent. Making him fall is entirely optional.

It was an interesting match, I always approach those 3rd place playoffs with a lot of scepticism, but they usually turn out fine. As for tonight:

Other than my sympathy for Germany, and my antipathy towards Argentina for making the game a living hell for spectators, and the pure awesomeness of the German attacking formation, let's not forget that Argentina had one day less to rest and was forced to play 30 minutes more than Germany due to the extra times vs Switzerland and Netherlands.

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #789 on:** July 13, 2014, 07:21:13 PM »

HOW DID ARGENTINA NOT SCORE THERE?! O_O

EDIT : And an offside goal. Still 0-0.

EDIT 2 : And the wood saves Argentina from going down. Half time called : 0-0.

BT · « **Reply #790 on:** July 13, 2014, 07:53:36 PM »

Not the best game, but not the worst. But that's probably just because Germany let Argentina have some good chances. Argentina isn't really generating play on their own so far.

redlakitu · « **Reply #791 on:** July 13, 2014, 07:54:41 PM »

Germany's left defender is far too slow and has a yellow card. Looks like a good candidate for a substitution. Except for some stupid errors by Germany, Argentina's chances are mostly due to Lavezzi/Messi charging down Germany's left flank. Some bad luck for Germany's midfield, too - first Khedira out right before the match, then Kramer brutally put out of the game by Garay. Not looking good.

This is Ruro commenting on Matsy's account. GO ARGENTINA

[matsuri] and now that I have my phone back, I too wish Argentina the best. Make it a win for the Americas and send the Europeans home! :matsurismirk: [/matsuri]

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #793 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:20:17 PM »

Yo come on that was worth a penalty kick for Argentina, wake up ref

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #794 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:22:46 PM »

How was that obvious grab not penalized

Edit: and yet that dive for the ball counts as a yellow card?... And another? Come on man.

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #795 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:53:57 PM »

And now for Extra Time. 90 minutes gone; 0-0 still.

For flip sake, someone score~ >>

Alfred F. Jones · « **Reply #796 on:** July 13, 2014, 08:58:11 PM »

Oh man, and now to extra time. :ohdear:

redlakitu · « **Reply #797 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:00:18 PM »

Well. No shots on target by Argentina throughout the entire match, and Germany isn't much better. Still, the Germans are likely much less tired after their earlier games, so logic dictates that they will win. So they probably won't.

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #798 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:07:12 PM »

AND ARGENTINA MESS ANOTHER GIFT! *laughs*

Jesus.

DX7.EP · « **Reply #800 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:14:40 PM »

Aiyaiyai. Loads of offensives just given away or denied by offside.

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #801 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:16:05 PM »

Still 0-0. Another 15 minutes left to play. *sighs*

IKR come on Argentina, stop freezing up in front of the goal and just take the damn shot!

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #803 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:23:12 PM »

Them challenges. How has a 2nd yellow on either of them not been shown? o_O

redlakitu · « **Reply #804 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:25:01 PM »

Both teams are equally tired after all. This extra time is agonizing.

BUT IT'S A GOAL SO WHO CARES

Suikama · « **Reply #805 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:26:42 PM »

and there it goes

Tamashii Kanjou · « **Reply #806 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:26:52 PM »

GERMANY SCORES!

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

redlakitu · « **Reply #807 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:29:38 PM »

Now I really regret there's no Golden Goal rule anymore.
