Ochoa having the game of his life.

[Captivus]

Mexico wont be able to stop Brazil for 20 more minutes...not playing so close to their goalkeeper.

[Sportstudi]

I'm really enjoying the puto-chants by the mexican fans every time the opposing goalie brings the ball into play...

The Brazilian fans are doing the same, a bit more quiet though.

[Libri]

Chicharo!

[Captivus]

thats a red card...

[lefty]

Rafa Marquez is still alive ? :lmao

[TE]

This will end with a fluke Brazil goal.

[Sportstudi]

What a save!

[Captivus]

Ochoa...wow...hero

[RD2191]

Memoooooooooooooooooooo

[TE]

This fucking goalie. Holy fucking shit ochoa

[Libri]

Ochoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[Relevancy]

Ochoa:wow

[TE]

Fuck

[Sportstudi]

Lol fucking diving brazilian cunts.

[TE]

Haha he got away with one there

[Libri]

Marcelo lol

[TE]

Oh fuuuuuck so close

[RD2191]

mother fucker

[lefty]

ooooooooooooh shit

[RD2191]

Fuck

[Darth_Pelican]

This is the most intense 0-0 game I've ever seen tbh.

[NASpurs]

Both goalies are on point

[Sportstudi]

How is that not a yellow??? If a Mexican player had fouled a Brazilian one, it would have been an automatic booking.

[TE]

Tie! :D

[Sportstudi]

Brazil hasn't convinced me. Without a huge performance increase and/or huge help by the refs they won't win this tournament.

[Baam]

Ochoa:wow

That guy is awesome, don't get why he's isn't recruited by a bigger club...

[NASpurs]

This is the most intense 0-0 game I've ever seen tbh.

:lol it's true, a 0-0 game can be intense and exciting. We just witnessed one.

[Relevancy]

Tie bitches, were in first place.

[Pelicans78]

Congrats Mexico fans. Hell of a way to get a point. In good shape right now. Will be even better if Cameroon wins or ties against Croatia.

True. And whilst the ref didn't bite on Marcelo's dive, he was still sometimes pro Brazil. There were several fouls worth a yellow, but he refused to pull the card. Like in the last minute of the game, Mexico on a counter attack, tactical foul by Sliva (?, if it was Silva it would have been his second yellow), but no card. I bet if it was the other way round the Mexican player would have received a booking for sure.

Brazilians barely got 2 yellows. they deserved tons more

haven't seen this ref reliance by a WC home team in decades IMO. Probably since 1978 Argentina IMO

[elemento]

Fred is slower than Duncan tbh :lol

Scolari is crap. He is trying to make a point not using the players that the media has been asking for (William and Hernanes) and it's obviously not working.

Bernard seriously ? Dude is a fucking backup in Ukraine.

Brazil has no midfield. A team like Germany would kick Brazil's ass badly. Very disappointing match. Props to Mexico.

[dfens]

:lol it's true, a 0-0 game can be intense and exciting. We just witnessed one.

nice game.

Observations: all of brazil's best play (not necessarily occasions which were mostly 1v1 flashes) originated from midfield combinations. This either generated open flanks or direct attack. Unfortunately for them their tactics are based on wing creation and many many times there was NO ONE in midfield. The entire TV screen had brazilians only in defense and wings. This is not how you play to win because you get predictable attacks and at the WC level you can't win with such a primitive offense even if you are stacked with talent. England NT are experts at failing this way :lol

They had a huge 10 minutes around 70' where they used the midfield alot with marcelo, neymar, bernard attacking centrally in midfield and not from the wing. With that they really pressed mexico hard. I think it was a fluke more then anything as the brazilians were getting more adventurous/desperate BUT they were playing great because they were going away from the designated tactics.

Scolari is a stubborn old son of a bitch and he is madly overrated tbh.

As I see right now brazil would be a tremendous counter attacking side but when they play possessional football their tactics suck a big one. NOT a deep run without ref help (probable) or major luck (unpredictable).

Fred is slower than Duncan tbh :lol

that brazil no 10 was really shit imo.

[elemento]

Brazil lost the midfield with the move. Brazil created a few occasions, but so did Mexico. Mexico dominated Brazil's midfield and Paulinho playing like horse shit definitely didn't help either.

Paulinho needs to go. Brazil has much better option in the bench with Hernanes, Ramires or Fernandinho

no need to shoot the messenger bro

just do a search on argentina 1978 fix and you'll see plenty other documentation. As I said even Peruvian politicians came out on the fix.

Even argentine ex-players discussed their embarrassment and dissapointment. anyway obviously brazil world cup does no even come close to the kind of corruption back then but it's still pretty blatant IMO

The Sunday Times broke this story on the eve of England’s clash with Argentina in 1986, claiming that Argentina had shipped 35,000 tons of free grain to Peru, along with free arms and unfroze $50m in credits that the Argentine national bank was holding. With Peruvian generals short of money and happy to help a fellow junta, they were happy to assist.
The final itself was no less controversial. Holland had made it to their second consecutive final, this time without their key player Johan Cruyff. At the time he claimed he was missing the tournament as a protest against the junta in Argentina, but recently gave an interview saying that the real reason was a bungled kidnap attempt in Barcelona the year before that kept him from the tournament.

The Argentine authorities played games with the Dutch from the offset, driving their team coach the wrong way to the stadium, stopping in a small village where tens of fans banged on the bus windows shouting ‘Argentina, Argentina, Argentina!’ for over 20 minutes. They also bullied FIFA into changing the referee, as the respected offical Abraham Klein was vetoed by Argentina and Italian Serio Gonella was put in charge, giving a woeful, one-sided performance in favour of the home team.


:lmao Argentina

The centre forward Leopoldo Luque has stated that he was given a ‘speaking to’ by one of the regime’s military men about the importance of making it through to the second round. ‘This group could easily be the group of death, as far as you are concerned,’ he was told. Luque took the threat seriously. Earlier that day one of his best friend’s brothers had disappeared and was later found at the bottom of the River Plate with concrete strapped to his legs.

On the final day of round two Brazil beat Poland 3-1. There is more controversy here as Argentina didn’t play their final game until the evening and had the advantage of knowing by what margin they had to win. They knew they had to beat Peru by four goals to get to the final. At halftime it was 2-0 but in the second half Peru totally collapsed and Argentina won with ease by six goals to nil.

Many believe the game was fixed. Peruvian player Jose Velasquez claims the team and the management were pressured to lose by the Peruvian government. Despite being a pivotal player in the Peru team, Velasquez was substituted ten minutes into the second half. The Peruvian captain Hector Chumpitaz and other players tell of an even more unbelievable incident. Moments before the game General Videla went waltzing into the Peruvian dressing room with none other than Henry Kissinger on his arm. The two buddies explained how much anticipation of victory there was amongst the Argentine public and the Peruvian team was left feeling shocked. Kissinger doesn’t deny this but says he has ‘no recollection of ever being in that dressing room.’

But former midfielder Ricky Villa accepts that ‘there is no doubt we were used politically,’ and Leopoldo Luque has stated that ‘with what I know now, I can’t say I’m proud of my victory. But I didn’t realise; most of us didn’t. We just played football.’

Their second game was against highly fancied France, who had lost to Italy in their first game. A French player claims that when Argentine Daniel Passarella bundled over Didier Six in the box, the referee pleaded with him: “Don’t do that again please, or I might have to actually give it next time.”

:lmao


It was also claimed some Argentines were so high on amphetamines they had to run for hours after games to get back to normal. Random drug tests were no use – the team’s waterboy Okambo supposedly supplied the urine samples, with the help of his wife. Officials were stunned when one test found that an Argentine player was pregnant. :lmao :lol :lol

There has always been talks about the Peru game, tbh... the military junta was certainly nothing you wanted to fuck around with.

lol Havelange didn't give a shit. He was as corrupt if not more than Blatter. Always counting the bills.

Yeah, I know about the Peru game rumours (although we had already beaten them in their place like 8-0 or something like that previous to the WC). I don't know if they are true or not what I know is that in that WC there weren't blatant bad calls in favour of Argentina which is what hater's main point was, when I called him out he started with the dictatorship thing.

Argentina’s 1978 World Cup win against Peru was fixed in a brutal political deal, former senator says

By Martin Rogers, Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news;_ylt=AmOnoKIrwigUA8XPi46ahmsmw7YF?slug=ro-rogers_argentina_peru_fixing_scandal_world_cup_021 012)Feb 11, 12:28 am EST


One of the World Cup’s oldest mysteries finally may be solved after claims were made this week of a sinister plot involving mass corruption, government interference and torture.

Argentina’s 1978 triumph against Peru long has been suspected of involving dirty tricks by the Argentinean political dictatorship led by Jorge Videla that held power at that time. For more than 30 years questions have been asked about the controversial 6-0 win that clinched Argentina’s place in the final, where they beat the Netherlands 3-1.

This week former Peruvian senator Genaro Ledesma said a deal was struck between Peru’s then-president Francisco Bermudez and Videla, whereby Argentina would be allowed to win the game by at least the four-goal margin it needed to avoid elimination.

In return, Videla’s regime agreed to receive and imprison 13 Peruvian political dissidents who were vocally opposed to Bermudez and his methods. “Videla needed to win the World Cup to cleanse Argentina’s bad image around the world,” Ledesma, 80, told a Buenos Aires court. “So he only accepted the group if Peru allowed the Argentina national team to triumph.”

After Argentina won with ridiculous ease, suspicions immediately were raised. Conspiracy theories ranged from the Peru goalkeeper having been bribed to suggestions that a large shipment of grain had been sent between the two countries as payment for a fixed result.

Ledesma’s accusations raise the possibility of a far more nefarious reality: It is alleged that the 13 dissidents were beaten and tortured by their captors. Even 34 years later, investigators still are trying to get to the bottom of the Condor Plan, an agreement between 1970s South American dictators whereby political opponents could be repressed by sending them to cooperating nations.

“With what I know now, I can’t say I am proud of my victory,” said Leopoldo Luque, an Argentinean striker in 1978. “But I didn’t realize, most of us didn’t. We just played football.”

Fixing an outcome in such a manner would be virtually impossible in a modern World Cup because of changes in the format and scheduling of the competition. In 1978, the final eight teams played off in two groups of four, with the group winners contesting the final.

With Brazil having played its final group match earlier in the day, Argentina knew exactly what it required – a four-goal victory or better – to progress. Today the World Cup is played on a knockout basis from the round of 16 onward, and the last round of matches in any group in the preliminary phase are played simultaneously.

Argentina would go on to win the World Cup again in 1986, but its first success, and what should be remembered as one of the greatest moments in its sporting history continues to be marred by scandal.

Judge Noberto Oyarbide is leading an ongoing investigation mandated to get to the bottom of the Peru “fix” saga, yet even disregarding the controversial game, that period of Argentine history is far from pleasant reading.

Less than a mile away from the River Plate Stadium where the 6-0 “victory” was recorded stood the infamous Naval Mechanics School, where members of Videla’s military junta tortured and are believed to have killed more than 5,000 political opponents.

Such was the spate of politically motivated arrests that those who went missing, never to be seen again, were referred to simply as “the disappeared.”


Videla used the World Cup as a public podium and insisted that reports of his regime’s brutality were nothing more than an “anti-Argentine plot.” He even welcomed American politician Henry Kissinger to the tournament and received standing ovations at every match even while behind closed doors his cohorts practiced brutality on those who dared speak up.

“Millions succumbed to the official viewpoint that the sporting victory was the triumph of a people at peace,” wrote author and historian Pablo Llonto in his book, “The Shame of All.”

Over time, many of the Argentina players have spoken out about how Videla’s influence tarnished what for most was their finest achievement in soccer. “There is no doubt we were used politically,” midfielder Ricky Villa said.

Especially the dutch who even had one of their players not play due to threats to his family.

I was discussing brasil with an italian colleague and we were discussing this interesting idea that scolari's tactics are based on countering spain & argentina since they play so much on the wing while having a really good defense when pressed. Such a team should be excellent tactically against said teams but it does leave an (almost) empty midfield and by design overexposes the RB/LB since they act more as wings .. leaving the defense exposed for counters. This could be easily seen vs mexico.

Quality stuff imo.

[Relevancy]

Nah, Mexico is not that good, Croatia is better.We'll see.

[mystargtr34]

Nah, Mexico is not that good, Croatia is better.

You think? I rate Mexico reasonably well, think they are better than people think. I do agree Croatia is better though but not that much better that they are going to win for sure.

[Relevancy]

Tomorrow sons

[Darth_Pelican]

Today is the first day that we start getting 2 games at a time.

Oh, and:

good and bad, good is you wouldn't spend that much time watching the games, bad news is you'd have a hard choice to make between the two games underway at once.

Well you can always watch both at the same time. :hat

[Brazil]

Mexico v Croatia will be a fun match to watch.

If I'm a Mexico fan I would be worried about Manduzic v Rafa tbqh.

dat sig gifs tbh :lmao

[hater]

I'm rooting for El Nono's el Tri this game folks. But I have a feeling Croatia is gonna take the Aztec heart out and smash it on the turf :lol

[Infinite_limit]

A) Croatia needs Win
B) Mexico is down 1 goal in GD to Brazil

[Darth_Pelican]

[Darth_Pelican]

Mexico is blowing opportunities!

[King Emmanuel]

Dani Avenue Alves :lmao

Dude is terrible defensively seriously.

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao Brazil

[Brazil]

Dani Avenue Alves :lmao

Brazilian telling me they have the best defense of the world cup :lmao
They have Silva playing defense, the rest is roberto carlos style incapable to properly cover

[NASpurs]

[Muser]

Damn Neymar

[velik_m]

Mexico better so far, but i think they would be even more dangerous if they didn't just sit back.

[Relevancy]

Mexico is playing good, croqtia doesnt seem that impressive. Modeic has been trash and so has rakiti

we got this

[elemento]

Brazilian telling me they have the best defense of the world cup :lmao

I think that in terms of CBs Brazil is fine (starters and bench). When you play the 4-2-3-1 with 2 shit defenders at the RB and LB position, you basically lose the mid-field because L.Gustavo and Paulinho spend most of their time covering them defensively. That's why you see Neymar trying to get the ball in the mid-field so many times.

Scolari is too stubborn to adapt. Maicon replacing Alves and you fix most of the defensive problems because he can play on both ends. L.Gustavo can cover Marcelo and Paulinho could offer more offensively.

Pretty clear that Brazil is totally Neymar-dependent. Brazil goes as far as he goes in the WC.

[Muser]

Brazil won't beat other elite teams IMO. Like elemento said they go as far as Neymar takes them.

[Trainwreck2100]

Love the bean crowd they bring it every game

[elemento]

Fred finally scored

Even Jeff Ayres could score that goal though :lol

[Brazil]

Fred is a scrub I saw playing for Lyon during several years... god he doesn't deserve to play for Brazil

[NASpurs]

:lmao

[Darth_Pelican]

If Mexico loses this, i have a feeling these Mexican fans are going to riot

[Infinite_limit]

Watch Mexico surrender a goal here

[elemento]

:lol

Fred is a scrub I saw playing for Lyon during several years... god he doesn't deserve to play for Brazil

Sad thing is that Brazil has nobody better than him. Luis Fabiano is as done as Wade and Adriano only cares about caipirinhas and bitches. Even a scrub like Diego Bosta refused to play for Brazil. :lol

Good thing is that Chile is our favorite son. And it's probably the only time we will see Argentinians cheering for Brazil in the WC. (maybe against England too)

[Infinite_limit]

Mexico/Croatia,

Truly a match that deserves an extra period

[Darth_Pelican]

Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaalllllll

You say? :lmao

:cry another mighty European bitting the dust
:cry Mexico being the ones pushing forward even though Croatia was the one that needed to win

[Infinite_limit]

Croatia is the beaners of Europe tbqh
Playing the opener versus Host screwed them

[velik_m]

Croatia is used to playing defensively and using counter attacks, no surprise they sucked when they have to score. I guess they are "ready for home".

Mexico will be a better match-up for Netherlands, but they will choke anyway.

[DAF86]

Mexico might steal 1st place.

[DAF86]

One more and is Brazil-Holland. :lmao

[velik_m]

Mexico might steal 1st place.

That would be great!

[hater]

:lmao it be aweseome if Brazil goes to 2nd spot and plays Netherlands :lol

Hey, i'm enjoying this as much as Mexicans :lol

[Relevancy]

We win bitches, another loleuropean going home.

Like I said a long time ago, Mexico will be the darkhorsy. Too bad were going up against Holland, but I'll be happy if they just give it there all.

[elemento]

Fernandinho > Paulinho quite easily !

Too bad for L.Gustavo.

[Infinite_limit]

Looks like Brawl in the seats

Are you ready to acknowledge that you may overrate European teams a bit? C'mon son separate yourself from that other racist fuck.

LMAO Europe

Italy, Greece, Portugal and Switzerland tbd for the lawls.

[elemento]

Congrats to Mexico

Great team !

[Relevancy]

I honestly thought this game was gonna be much closer, I was impressed by Croatia when they played Brazil right up until the fake penalty. We pulled it out, we seem to be making less and less errors, I feel good right now.

Really good.

[Infinite_limit]

Europe sucks. They should leave the Tournament and let Brazil & Argentina decide the winner

[velik_m]

lol son.

Are you ready to acknowledge that you may overrate European teams a bit? C'mon son separate yourself from that other racist fuck.

I don't really care, I just find is amusing how you all get so upset when someone suggests that in soccer Europe>South america

Eh, Croatia fell apart after first goal, but yeah this was not even close. Croatia does much better as the underdog.

I don't get upset about that 'cause that's debatable. I get upset when I hear really moronic shit like "the Eurocup is harder than the WC"' tbh.

[Infinite_limit]

Are you seriously writing Germany, Italy & Holland off?
Of course not. Of the Top 8 teams in this Tournament, 5 are European.

[velik_m]

I don't get upset about that 'cause that's debatable. I get upset when I hear really moronic shit like "the Eurocup is harder than the WC"' tbh.

That's just it - if it's moronic why do you get upset. Maybe because you suspect it's true... :P

[Muser]

Kinda sucks Mexico couldn't get 1st place, Brazil v Netherlands would have been awesome.

[IronMaxipad]

Mah bean dip niggas did it :cry

6 world cups in a row we make it out the group stage.. now to get face fucked in the round of 16 again. it's destiny :(

It was close TBH..... elimination game, if Croatia scores first, it could have easily ended up 3-1 the other way.

they deserved to be out.

[Infinite_limit]

Fortunate advantage to go into the Match only needing a Draw. In a fair world the Fred Penalty doesn't occur and Croatia/Mexico enter the match on even footing.

[it's me]

Fuck..... that's the problem with you Mexican.... calm down nigga, you got a good amount of luck too. Just 1-0 against Cameron... and they received 9 goals total. Your mIm0 Ochoa saved your asses against Brasil. Get Holland out and I'll be a believer, not so fast now.

[The Gemini Method]

Got me a free lunch off the tamale breaths...but lord save the poster above me. His poorly constructed statement rehashed my headache.

hopefully that dude Robben doesn't kill us like he has killed Chile, Australia and Spain:lol

I wouldnt flat out call Mexico the best in the group, but lets also be fair...that Cameroon game shouldve been 3-0.

[IronMaxipad]

doesn't matter, Brazil has been a disappoint aside their performance against an african team that was just waiting to get raped more

[DAF86]

No, because I get upset when I hear really retarded shit like that. It's very common among humans to get upset when they hear moronic shit.

Truth is ... those teams tend to suck at the early stages and still manage to win it all.... that's why you want those fuckers out early..... If Spain manages to get out of the first round..... they would still be strong contenders. Same with England, etc. Brazil will skull fuck Chile now although Chile has played great football and they have struggled.......................you now have a chance if manage to contain Robben and RVP. It seems like weather and fans are actually affecting European teams.

That's no true at all. If that were true there would be no religion.
