In all honest, Chili played better, but the only goal they scored was a big time Brazil mistake.

Brazil didn't deserve to win. They are going to get destroyed in the next match!

I wanted Chile to win, but I don't understand this. Why didn't they deserve to win? Stat wise they were definitely better than Chile. Every time a "strong" team barely beats a weaker team people jump out saying they didn't deserve it without explaining why or how.

Because their perfomance was lackluster? Heck, Brazil's first goal wasn't even scored by David Luiz! It was an own-goal!

It was lackluster, but it was still better than Chile's performance. The better team won today. The better team wasn't great, but it was still better.

And it annoys me how the media constantly fellate Neymar.

Focus on the other guys who scores the other penalties as well, you morons. Focus on Cesar who actually won that shootout for Brazil with his 2 early saves.

Was just about to say this. It really is kinda sickening.

Expect the same for Mesi if Argentina finds themselves in similar situation

Oh well, Brasil had all the luck factor on their side, and that's a variable that's hard to counter.

Come on Colombia, beat Uruguay so you can teach Brazil on the Quarter Finals how to play football!

Yup. Brazil was the better team! Despite passing the ball at times like the players were blindfolded, despite having lower ball possession, despite some players shooting like dumbasses and missing some obvious goal opportunities ( * cough* Hulk * cough*).... Despie all that shit, Brazil was still the better team!
