Announcement made at the stadium to the German fans to stay in the stands after the match. They will be escorted out for their safety. Sensible move

I heard Gumble mention that, but I originally thought he said the announcement was made for the Brazilian team to be escorted out for safety. 😀
 
Well gentlemen (and that lady with reckless gambling bf), we have witnessed history. There has never been a match like this at this level of the world cup, and never will be again. At least not in the lifetimes of anyone reading this thread
 
having neymar would not have changed much, they could not defend at all

missing silva was a TBH a bigger blow then i thought it would have been, they had no idea WTF they were doing back there
 
If it were a 4-3 type yes absolutely but 7-0 games aren't really all too entertaining to watch. I'll take a 0-0 game with good chances on both sides as opposed to this.

Yeah that's more what I'm referring to. 7 total goals in a soccer game is huge. Would likely make it more popular here.

Have to say though that I'm not a soccer fan at all really but do love the World Cup and have had a blast watching this year. Wish we had a level of play like this (or of course the EPL) in our US league.
 
Today, Brasil is a Disgrace to football - Brasil - most yellow cards, most dirty play, most acting....

Chile, Costa Rica , Colombia - PLAYED FOOTBALL that was nice to watch...

Brazil - destroyed their own show.... WHAT A BUNCH OF LOOSERS........

wow, didn't think brazil would win as they were barely winning games with neymar and he looked clearly like their best player on the field; but that was an ass whopping.
 
I'm pleased to say that I predicted Germany winning the WC in this thread before the tournament, even though the betting odds had Brazil as the favorite
 
as the only brazillian guy in this forum... god dammit!


...an agressive style against germany? really?

damm our coach is stupid
 
I was watching "World Cup Tonight" and just saw all seven goals in high speed with yakety sax playing over them - funniest thing I have seen in a while...
 
This was only my second soccer game watched in my nearly 50 years of being around. Being half German and half Scottish I have to say I enjoyed today's game so much I will now watch the rest of FIFA. Much better than that damn Netherlands game this past weekend.

Blitzkrieg!
 
lame ass game. couldnt watch anymore after 5-0. I mean whats the point.

yeah from a neutral standpoint any game that goes 3-0 gets pretty boring to watch usually. mostly cause at that point generally the losing team is just deflated and kind of stops trying. Once a game hits that point im usually multitasking instead of just watching.

Now if you support the losing team you tend to watch just for the glimmer of hope your team comes back (ala Everton vs Manchester United when Everton scored two in stoppage time). And if you support the winning team you just soak it in and watch your boys have fun! (ala Manchester United vs AS Roma finishing 7-1 united)

All I can say is: don't count your chickens before they're hatched. It's been an unpredictable WC after all! Holland/Argentina don't look so good, but you never know!

I noticed that too in the opening 3 minutes. Shouted at them that they better slow it down and pace themselves or the Germans will pick them apart.

Didn't think it would happen like that though. Epic meltdown.

Still not interested.
