No suprise really, talanted new players but still play like the team of 10 years ago too bloody conservative and hapless. A.d players like Gerrard trying to make up for his mistake by blasting every ball over the bar. Just wish it wasnt Suarez tho, guy is a nasty piece of work.

Uruguay got lucky, rooney almost scored an amazing goal at the beginning.
Suarez is a pretty incredible player, I don't understand why they put Neymar and Hazard next to Messi and Ronaldo in place of him.
Should have played Bassett's 3-1-2-1-2-1 formation.
Idiots.

Godin should've been off, referee made some dubious decisions in the first half.
just a friendly reminder

So, I guess that in this case, the bark was worse than the bite.
I wonder if Liverpool fans are happy or angry about Suarez's two goals.
Is there like some sort of statistic that shows how many people went to Brazil for the World Cup?

japan is botching their scoring chances so horribly it's not even funny
Herculean effort from the Greeks.
Bullshit game in general.

Well there goes my teams chances of winning, now I'm just gonna root for underdogs and Germany
That was a very boring game. All around average performance from everyone aside from a few lucky incidents of defense and attack.

He was so happy after scoring the 2nd goal, I think he was in ecstasy.
It happens rarely, but when it does you're simply a bundle of joy.

[QUOTE=Pr0fane;45155598]I have no idea what to think of Chile vs Netherlands....
If the Dutch play like against Spain, we'll win for sure, and I could see us having a realistic shot at taking the Cup eventually.
If they play like against Australia, I suspect a 4-2 victory for Chile. We won that match because the Aussies ran out of steam in the middle of the second half and I suspect Chile will have just as much steam as the Dutch do..
Hope we win though.[/QUOTE]
You can't play against Chile the way you played against Spain. You'll get overrun. Chile doesn't go out on the attack like Spain, they just put out insane amounts of pressure when they don't have the ball. If we play the defensive formation again, you're going to see the exact same thing happen that happened against Australia, with the difference that Chile has a lot more quality and will punish you far more for being stuck in your own side of the pitch.
We have to play our own game. The good ol' classic Dutch 4-3-3. Then you'll be able to punish them in the second half when they've tired themselves out with their non-stop pressure. Every game they've played, they've fallen apart in the second half. They can't keep up with their own playstyle. They've just had the luck that the other team wasted their plethora of second half chances and never managed to capitalize on them.
