Brazil v Germany (Semi Final) Tuesday 8th July 2014

[kittyP]

Oh no!! It's not recorded and Mr. QofG's knows who won as he caught as glimpse of David Luiz crying but he doesn't know the score... now waiting to see if it will be on iPlayer after the programme has finished

I think you should be able to click on the BBC live and then pull the time back to the beginning iyswim?
Get in before its finished live transmission.

 

[BlackArab]

Nah, I think the Brazilian supporters have been great and fair. I wouldn't want to be a Brazilian player right now, mind.

Hopefully you're right, the ole's at the end suggests this tbf

 

[butchersapron]

Exactly as i predicted.

You can rewind the live iPlayer feed by two hours

 

[unrepentant85]

Luckily not.

I don't think Germany are going to let up too much - they have a record in their sights.

Phew! £75 in the hipper

 

[5t3IIa]

Why was Fred getting booed?

 

[ska invita]

It's the manor ( ) of the defeat though.

yeah its not ideal, but Brazillian fans have had it too good for too long - football memories should be filled with lots of pain and a few moments of improbable joy

 

[Athos]

Everyone saying Germany are a great team. I disagree. I think the standard of the international teams has been poor this year. Germany are just a good team playing shit ones.

Beating, in the commentator's words, "the worst team ever to reach a semi-final" doesn't make you a great team, even if you thrash them.

Be fair. To beat a Brazil side 7-1, in Brazil, in the semi-final of the world cup is fairly special. Granted, it's not a classic Brazil side, but, even so...

 

[Spymaster]

Mrs Spy reckons it was all rather "un-sportsmanlike" and that the nasty Germans should have given them a bit of a chance after 5- Nil.

 

[Athos]

Why was Fred getting booed?

Becasue he's a prick.

 

[belboid]

Germany have peaked too soon.

 

[tommers]

This average Brazil side haven't lost at home since 1967 or something.

 

[5t3IIa]

Becasue he's a prick.

He's totty. What did he do/not do?

 

[rekil]

There's going to be a lorra lorra blitz puns aren't there.

 

[belboid]

Becasue he's a prick.

And really really shit.

Tho I can almost sympathise with him, he could well never recover.

 

[pocketscience]

Sometimes a team get lucky and has a very good day, even against a very good team.

We didn't just witness that. We just saw an awesome German team literally rip a quality side to shreds.

Germany struggled against Ghana and Algeria dont forget.
Brazil have been a shambles all tournement. No way are they a quality side.
I think Colombia would've given Germany a run for their money with a decent ref tonight

Be fair. To beat a Brazil side 7-1, in Brazil, in the semi-final of the world cup is fairly special. Granted, it's not a classic Brazil side, but, even so...

Great teams aren't underdogs before the match, don't struggle against Ghana, and beat USA more than 1-0.

As I said, they're a good team. But they're not great.

 

[xenon]

Exactly as i predicted.

What, 7 - 1? Gerrof.

 

[Athos]

He's totty. What did he do/not do?

Didn't you see his dive in the opening game?

 

[Favelado]

If you all want to be really mean, there will be footage out there of the FIFA fan fest on Copacabana beach. Coming soon to Argentine websites on the internet. I don't want to see it.

 

[tommers]

Why was Fred getting booed?

Well, he's a striker who hasn't scored many goals or looked like he was going to. He hasn't even really got involved in the build up play or shown any skill or aptitude in this tournament.

Plus, there is a tendency amongst a crowd to blame a particular player for the failings of the whole team and Fred seems to be the unlucky recipient of that. There are some really interesting psychological studies on that if you want to look into it further.

And he's called Fred.

[5t3IIa]

Didn't you see his dive in the opening game?

No! Oh dear. Naughty Fred. Bad bad boy

 

[Lord Camomile]

"I'm happy because football won"

Oh Juninho

 

[Athos]

Great teams aren't underdogs before the match, don't struggle against Ghana, and beat USA more than 1-0.

As I said, they're a good team. But they're not great.

I reckon they're just about the best team in the world at the moment.

 

[savoloysam]

BBC2 have scheduled a program called the Seven Wonders Of Brazil. This was before the game!

That is interesting, thank you.

 

[not-bono-ever]

I have to say - and I am pissed and stoned - that was a fantastic game!

 

[friedaweed]

There's going to be a lorra lorra blitz puns aren't there.

And Dutch cap ones if they beat the Argies
