yeah

[Spurtacular]

Cavani >> Suarez

2010 Was U-gay's best shot. Was watching a replay of 3rd place game IIRC. A breakaway with Suarez, Cavani, Forlan along with similarly dominant D and high-motor mids.

[Spurtacular]

France lucky to get two straight COLEMBOL teams, the second with its best player injured; and if they make it to the final, they get the team from the easy bracket. They're the Golden Showers of international soccer.

[diego]

Uruguay fell apart after the freebie, they were still in it to that point. Still made a commendable effort without Cavani, shut down mbappe.
He should have gotten three yellow cards- one for the flip, one for going away from the ref when called (delay of game), one for asking for the VAR. Uruguay still loses but if the rule book is serious that is what should be called.

[Brazil]

Uruguay will score and take this to extra time, tbh.

Thanks bro.. I knew I could count on you tbh...

The team played it's game, tbh. That was just a stupid foul to set up the first set piece; and obviously the gk not making the save.

[spurraider21]

they need to address the ridiculous flopping shit.

solution: allow VAR. if they're completely obvious/egregious like neymar/mbappe, give red card.

or at the very least, allow them to review it after the game and the player is banned from next game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Brazil got this. Incoming Neymar master class performance.

[dfens]

As I've been saying, France has been the most dominant team so far...ring or bust for them imho tbh

tbh it's obvious it's France to lose. Excellent pieces across the board and unrivalled monkeyball potential if shit hits the fan and tactics goes down the drain. All them niggas at corners smh, looking like a fucking NBA team out there :lol


:lol thanks my nigg appreciated

my nig y'all nigs gon ring tbh. besides a massive choke y'all boys are all set.


:lol
bra the clear cut favorite is Brazil.. not even close
sons IF brasil beat belgium they'll attack the greatest counter attacking team in the tournament in France, that's a recipe for disaster tbh. I'd give you at least a 70% chance to beat Brasil.


Brazil is clear cut favourite right now.
The japanese toyed with Belguim flank can you imagine william and Neymar going at it....
sons Belgium is a hell of a team, and they came back against a decent squad even after 2-0, after an enormous choke. If anything it proved Belgium belongs with the big boys, a non-contender would've folded.

[apalisoc_9]

Greizman is a great composed talent.

Shame he's wasting his talent in Athletico

let's hope for a clean game, no more conmebol nigdom please. god bless tbh, may the best team win.

tbh, his picks have been beyond horrific this entire WC

[Jodelo]

Belgium with a good tactic so far. Lukaku on the wing and him and Hazard are not tracking back to give outlets for the counters. Awesome move, so far!

[dfens]

brasil can't handle the size of belgium tbh:

on defense belgium is overloading the middle, so the only way to get in the box is by crossing ... good luck against that tbh
on the counter lukakku needs 3 men on him otherwise that ball is his
on set pieces any ball inside the box is danger because belgium has at least 10cm height and 20cm vertical advantage.


might devolve into a slaughter.


also I told y'all boys about this but y'all niggas are too emotional to see the obvious power of this belgian squad. That being said, france will have the advantage vs any of these sides tbh. I'll bump the "europe needs more teams later" tbh.

[dfens]

Belgium with a good tactic so far. Lukaku on the wing and him and Hazard are not tracking back to give outlets for the counters. Awesome move, so far!

France shot 2 times into the goal and scored 2 goals - all the other shots went outside. It was pretty effective

The game was over after the goalie made that mistake - can't make those mistakes at this stage

I still liked Uruguay to win it all - they played fairly well despite the fact they didn't have their best player imo Cavani because of his current form.

sons it was an easy call, told y'all sons:

- brasil don't make semis
- brasil are hot shit and the first decent team will put them on their knees
- brasil only play well against conmebal ball and lack the struggle of playing in europe against many styles. They had no answer for Belgium's defense.
- brasil's defense is poorer than it looks
- brasil's coach still has mediocre tactics, got outplayed by a run of the mill euro NT coach.


also, as customary:
:lol brasil is back
:lol brasil is a contender
:lol brasil will dominate
:lol conmebal in general.

y'all niggas need to shut the fuck up and accept that y'all boys got talent but your gameplan and tactics need major work.

Although an expected result it still sucks because this game quite surprisingly was right there for the taking tbh. We fucked up too many times though, from the own goal to allowing the counter that resulted in the 2nd goal to all those chances wasted..

Belgium looked a lot more vulnerable than I thought they'd be though, should be easy work for the French imho

[FlAVaK]

First time semis without BRA, ARG or GER :wow

belgium is weak at the back tbh, their defensive midfield is poor and this creates many impromtu counters for the opposing sides. Lmao not calling radja nayingolan because the average belgian coach is upset :lol
so no surprise in belgium being vulnerable at the back. France will penalize that tbh..

[140]

And my nig D.Costa was great once again tbh...And other than the assist Coutinho fucking sucked, turned into a one trick pony out there

[spursistan]

Based on talent on roster, France should ring. They've barely lost to the eventual WC'14, Euro'16 winners..I don't think the other teams have paid their dues yet.

[spurraider21]

Either Brazil or Spain.

France is a pussy team.

Germany decent chance imo.

[dfens]

France should ring this tbh .. warranted, so no complaints from me.
Only a very emotional game will test them, and by that I mean that pussy Deschamps who is their biggest weakness.

son y'all boys need a true 9 with size. against trash pretenders in south america you got by without it, but the first serious pretender/contender you met called you out and said "take the flanks we don't give a fuck" and then you niggas had nobody to play inside balls to. All that speed/talent on the flanks is pointless without a real center forward, not firminho or jesus.


Tbh they should have played frimino from the get go. They needed a playmaker. A false 9. It only makes sense with neymar and coutinho
son you don't understand the game at all. they had playmaking but got called out by the belgian coach who overloaded the box and the defensive midfield and surrendered the flanks from the get go. There's no way any team was dribbling inside their box with that setup so without a real 9 we saw Brasil playing headless chicken offense for 90 minutes. i'm teaching you something here son, it's called tactics, it's why euro > world cup these days.


Niggs Belgium defeated the strongest team in the world.. huge favorite against France tbh.. we gonna try and do our best but Belgium gonna tap our ass
son stop trolling these niggs so hard, they upset tbh :cry

Tbh.. we can all make fun of Giroud but dude as a pivot has been key for France on all our games... I agree with my nigg dfens on that, Brazil with a dude playing same role than giroud would have scored enough to win this game tbh..

Gtfo son. They looked extra dangerous in the 2nd because of firmino.

[dfens]

Gtfo son. They looked extra dangerous in the 2nd because of firmino.

sons they looked extra dangerous because belgium was choking and their offensive players played too out front. Also douglas costa was really stretching them and had much more to do with it then Firminho. Firminho was a better choice than jesus for this match, but Brasil lacks a classic 9 to really penalize belgium's strategy. stop being a stubborn nig and learn something tbh.

gabriel jesus wasn't given a penaldo because he kicked the ball out looking for a penaldo. Also this is what you get when you flop so much as a team that the ref gets bored. Gabriel Jesus needs to go talk to Neymonkey about his blatant flopping if he wants the ref to start caring more about giving him a whistle.

Also Kane definitely got an easy penaldo but he was abused all night, this counts too.

I know you'll say rulebook stuff like "it should always be like it's written" but this is a game of brinksmanship and if a team overuses the refs good will (by being overly physical time and time again in the box or by ridiculously flopping like crazy) then don't be surprised if the interpretation of the rules varies. The ref doesn't just whistle, he whistles according to his interpretation. If a game is fragmented as fuck by dirty shit (like colombia) then the ref will be more likely to give a big call to the victim team. If the game is polluted by obnoxious flopping then the ref will be reticent in giving a big call.

basics smh. stop the hypocrisy you can't have both excessive thugging/flopping and fair calls. If you antagonize the ref you get what you deserve. Nobody hates these teams personally, it's just that they have poor sportmanship which consistently puts them at a disadvantage in important situations. Boy cry wolf etc.

A lot of people don't get this. Even some refs don't get this. As a coach, I once had a U17 game turn on me b/c the ref called a "that's the law" ticky tack foul at the top of the box. The team scored on the kick and got confidence and momentum and we lost a game we should've won. I was pretty pissed.

Just like other sports, soccer essentially has it's role players. When I look at the replay of that second Belgium goal, the Brazilian defense was really bad. Also, so many missed golden chances.

gabriel jesus nutmegged the defender, got around him cleanly and got to the ball first when the belgian defender slid at the ball, didnt touch it and hit his legs. He had way more control of the ball/scoring opportunity than mbappe did in the penalty against argentina.

Of course the ref has to intrepret the calls, but you have to have a standard and at least try to be consistent with it.
On one hand mbappe, already destabilized before reaching the box and with the ball 5-6 meters ahead and poor shooting angle is given a penalty for a push on the shoulder that impedes his movement (IMO, CORRECT CALL)

On the other hand gabriel jesus with control of the ball and unable to play it because a late slide tackle hits his legs impedes his movement ("no, he threw himself out, he didnt have control of the ball, bla bla)

on one hand kane, who on further review Im almost certain actually tripped on the refs feet, pulls and jostles with the colombian defender who is making a concerted effort not to touch kane with his arms, the defender nearly falls and gets up while kane is falling and ends up on top of him (bad call, Kane initiated the contact and was falling well before sanchez even lifted his head- "colombians deserve it because of a pseudo head butt on a wall a little earlier")
-
Godin has his shorts pulled for about 3 meters while the defender behind him is pushing his shoulders down ("uruguay has a rep for rough play so no call")

and im the one making excuses? There is nothing to interpret there, clear as day penalties and now with VAR there is no excuse of "ref didnt see it"

Gloriously awful stuff.
Keep it up girls.

gabriel jesus nutmegged the defender, got around him cleanly and got to the ball first when the belgian defender slid at the ball, didnt touch it and hit his legs. He had way more control of the ball/scoring opportunity than mbappe did in the penalty against argentina.

Of course the ref has to intrepret the calls, but you have to have a standard and at least try to be consistent with it.

son you need to compare context.
gabriel jesus penaldo happened in tough conditions (dead angle, late challenge where he searched for contact) only minutes after a massive neymar flop which got the ref annoyed because it was the Xth flop already. Brasil antagonized the ref and paid for it. Basic statistics, you decrease your chance at a penaldo if you annoy the ref.
kane on the other hand came in a game where he was fouled so much that it was a matter of time till the ref gave him a penaldo. Basic statistics again, you dangerously and physically mark a player in the box time and time again you're gonna get called on, maybe not on the worst challenge but you'll get called on.
godin went to france's box 2-3 times in a physical game. The contact was weak, godin is known as a strong player and hence no whistle.

Mbappe one is the only I agree with you, but in that game it didn't matter tbh. Argentina was losing anyway, the final score doesn't represent what happened on the pitch in terms of quality.


stop expecting perfection from the refs, look at the context and you'll see why these calls would've probably been the same had they happened on different occasions.
