Seriously though, I can only hope we have as good a day tomorrow as Germany had today. Netherlands vs. Germany would be a perfect final!

Stop avoiding the question, I don't want an example of a current player like Makelele, I want to know if you believe that a modern team needs a player like Makelele in it's starting 11 to be sucessful, say yes or no.

If the French coach messed up, why I must consider it as Greece's merit?


An example of a current player answers your question if you can't fathom that I suggest you stop watching football altogether, defensive midfielders are key today and always will be as they have a functional but timelessly important role. You don't have to consider Greece's merit it still won't take the achievement away from them as they beat top teams to win a tournament, no amount of bitter excuses can change that, they played well even if you don't want to acknowledge it.

Defensive midfielders? Don't twist my words. I'm talking about midfielders that are only good at defending. Say yes or no.

An example of a current player don't mean anything. Spain won the 2012 Euro without a 9 despite the existence of Klose.

BBC just making sure everyone believes the score

I'm sure that's a mistake. The only way to reach 7 in a set is with a tie break.

I already feel sorry for the german team. Now everyone fets hyped again like crazy and than if we lose in the finaleveryone starts complaining again calling out everything they did wrong and should have done instead. Every other country would be proud for reaching the final but not us germans ! We are best at complaining !

Every Brazilian is probably swapping their kits for a Netherlands kit XD


Just realized how much I love orange t-shirts.

So nervous for Argentina tomorrow, hope we can make it to the final match. Everyone is so hateful towards us, wanna shut your mouth once and for all with a third star above our logo!

I only expect this to open the eyes of our people and see how much the expending on this was a totally waste of time. Wake up Brazil.

This x2.

It's sad to have to cheer against your own squad because it seems the only way to wake up a completely mesmerized population to what's going on around them. The media was so hyped this week over David Luiz and the retrospect against Germany, it was unbearable.

Damm, i just realized: this is not over yet!

 

We will play in saturday again for the 3rd place, and if its against argentina and we win, this will calm down a lot of people.

Brazil will show the world why they have 5 stars tonight.

Yep, they will show the world why it ain't 6 for at least another 4 years.


lel.

Will requote later after your tears :p

 

I'll quote it for you. I hope you can see my tears.

LOL, and this my friends is why you never say stuff like this at the beggining of a match. humility is something everyone needs

Brazilians don't know humility. until now.
