the road is so easy for Germany.
So, no dive this time?
Do you think Neymar would have preferred a Suarez bite?
that knee did nothing, more like he hitted the ground sideways pushing in that vertibre
Fifa officially congratulated the ref afterwards for doing a great job, he's the favorite for the final!
Couldn't make this up if I wanted tbh
FIFA hasn't officially recognized it but several news outlets have reported an Internal memo to not show cards in the first 30 minutes and generally be more permissive... This situation is a direct result. I've been complaining about the lax Reffing it just favors cynical teams like holland and Brazil that rather foul than play defense
muh muh heart ;-;Chill. The doctor said its not as bqd as it sounds. All he needs is physio and should be back 100%
All the best for Neymar and our brazilan brothers
Germany Vs Costa Rica. Book it.
Do these gots ever stop crying?
Argie fans chanting "We have Neymar's back"
that is a crazy ending to Brazil's WC for sure...hopefully the little guy will be able to play football again someday.
Colombians sound just like uruguayans, trying to defend the undefendable.
lol ask Neymar if he would have preferred a Suarez bite instead...
I totally think that what Zuniga did is criminal, much worse than the Suarez innofensive canibalism. In both cases they behaved like animals and I think there is no way anyone can defend, justify or minimize what they did, like many Uruguayans and Colombians are trying/tried to do.
again Zuniga did not intend to injure the midget. He is a beast and it was unfortunate the midget's back was where it was. Sure Zuniga was trying to knock the midget down but that is what Brazilians started. They started with the hard fouls especially on our star James.
as I said here is where responsibility ladder for Neymars Injury:
1. Brazil for starting the dirty play
2. Scolari for ordering hard hits
3. Ref for forgetting about yellow and red cards to stop the violent game
4. Neymar - for flopping too much
5. Zuniga
update from FIFA btw:
- they cannot discipline Zuniga because the ref saw the foul and did not pull any cards
- they regret any injuries on the game (sorry)
- No Brazil, Thiago Silva will not receive special treatment just because, he is still not playing next game

btw I rewatched the game and at the very least Brazil should have gotten 2 reds, as well as Colombia 1 red.
Brazil goalie should have been a red
Thiago should have gotten a red early in the 2nd half for a criminal hit on a colombian
Zuniga should have ac ulated 2 yellows, he started going nuts out there to protect his teamates
So if this is eye for an eye, after Neymar got injured the brazilians should have brought a knife on the field and decapitated James. Go on justifying everything. And yes, Julio Cesar deserved the red, colombians are right on that one.
Holy
nobody said its an eye for an eye.
The ref should have pulled and ejected players long before the Neymar injury.
why do you think NBA has flagrant fouls? same reason. If ref doesn't call a few flagrant fouls early its likely a player would end up in the hospital as well.
NO, your reasoning is flawed because the games are different in their subs ution patterns. In the nba you have unlimited subs with a really big bench (proportionally to on-pitch/court team size). In football you have 3 subs and a not so big bench (again proportional to fielded team size).
In the NBA the stars are protected indirectly, you foul lebron james hard and dirty and then haslem/some scrub from the end of the bench (dexter pittman
In football if you go all out to prove a point you get a red and your team plays at an enormous disadvantage the rest of the game ... it is NEVER worth it. In the NBA you can injure somebody much much much easier. Sure you get heated matches but ugly fouling isn't as costly as in football, where one mistake really puts your team down in a bad way.
disagree. The subs ution patterns play no role in enforcing a clean game. Both cards and flagrants are similar tools to enforce the clean game.NO, your reasoning is flawed because the games are different in their subs ution patterns.

If your assumption was correct we would see flagrants by scrubs on star players a lot more often. truth is, this is very rare.
One issue with enforcing clean game in a soccer field is that many times, the action goes faster than in basketball and the field and # of players is inmense compared to basketball.
