Brasil - Chile

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Brazil is so overconfident right now I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing that happened in 2006 happens this WC. I have a huge amount of respect for Brazil's ability to win, but I really despise how y Brazilians get with each additional game they win. Here's to hoping the Dutch teach them some humility.

I'm not talking about the players, I'm talking about the fans. Have you read the Brazilian media? the comments on forums? , all my Brazilian friends. Absolutely no humility. Someone is going to have to teach them then... hopefully

further, :LMAO at brazilian /spanish people puffing their chests for beating chile. chile is a minnow next to you guys, not only do they have very few players, the ones they do have are not that great and on top of that extremely young. chile's best result in the Bielsa cycle was beating argentina at home, in Basile's last game with the team in utter turmoil. Even south korea beat more quality opponents in the run up to the WC than chile.

son, chile finished second in south america qualifiers ahead of argentina and uru who are both in quarters and on par with paraguay who got a good chance to qualify too. That should say something to you.

If you get smart and say "england waltzed its way etc" i'd like to point out that in south america all play all so it's no bully a lil country for 6 points fiesta.

@ "even south korea beat more quality opponents"
1) argie/para/uru/ecuador/columbia gettin to play two times with brasil in qualification group
2) spain/ swi in the world cup group, finishin with 6 pts.
so, son you feelin okay? you know whatchu talkin bout?

ah the subtleties of insinuation.... son we five time world champs, the lakers got nothin on us .. seriously, football is our national mantra, what you say is unfortunate but normal.

btw I hope this brasil team ain't dumb enough to be like england and have their camp a press tour. I like how dunga is keeping them focused and that we have alot of good character players in the team.

son world cup is only a month in four years and i'm of direct bra descent .. give me a break, you don't get the kid in you at 33+ too often to come out and be 18 again so I might as well enjoy it as much as it lasts.

I live in chile SON, I know plenty about how chile qualified to the WC. the fact is that chile only came alive towards the end of the qualys and that their success had more to do with other south american teams not doing well- paraguay fell apart after the 1st half of qualys, argentina tried over 100 players and two coaches and never really played well, ecuador had injury/chemistry problems, and uruguay was the on one day off the next team they have been for most of the past 10 years.

if you can read- IN THE RUN UP TO THE WORLD CUP, that is right before the tournament (what is it worth to be undefeated 2 years prior?) South Korea played friendlies with more quality opponents: spain, ivory coast, japan, and ecuador and they beat all of them except spain.

in that same period, chile played trinidad and tobago, zambia, north ireland, israel, new zealand, and mexico- mexico beat them, they won the others.

lets see- T&T, zambia, north ireland, israel- not in the WC, wins
NZ- out in 1st round, no matches won, win
mexico- out in 2nd round, loss

south korea:
ecuador: not in the WC. win.
ivory coast: out in 1st round, 1 win, win
japan: 2nd round, win
spain: 2nd round, loss.

are you going to insist that in the run up to the WC chile beat better opponents, or are you going to STFU??

as for the WC group, chile beat honduras, easily the worst team of the tournament, 1-0, and they were lucky to have one of the better swiss players ejected 20 min into the game, otherwise they would have been lucky to tie. and even then, since when is switzerland a world power, or even a european one? they got 6pts and they should be proud, but south korea got 4 in a harder group, plain to see.

brasil beat a mediocre chile team that had its best offensive players out of rhythm (suazo, sanchez), and its best defenders suspended (medel, ponce), and you want to celebrate beating them... how the mighty have fallen

[MaNuMaNiAc]

to be fair, over here people celebrated beating Greece like we had just won the tournament... how the mighty have fallen indeed.

[ffadicted]

Sorry man, I couldn't hear you over the sound of real fans cheering for everything their team accomplishes

[diego]

says the guy who keeps posting in every argentina thread about argentina not being tested... you're right lets have a big circle jerk instead

[diego]

oops, forgot to put my emoticon!!

[resistanze]

I'm not sure what point of the game it was, but I remember Lucio going down in the Chilean box as if he was shot. I HATE that flopping bas .

son if you'd live in europe like i do you'd know the swiss are a very decent side for quite some time. Furthermore, if you haven't observed, they played really well and proved that their only problem is a consistent offensive threat (proven vs honduras).

Furthermore, son since you live in chile you know they played more consistently and better than south korea at this tournament and we both know why friendlies are called friendlies.

Instead of offering y explanations of why you ers got 33 pts you fail to point that indeed you got them. You got them ahead of argies who even coached by my grandma should finish ahead of you because of their talent, so that proves you got some talent, so you can't say it's all about form with chile.

Now son I know u mad cuz we whooped your azz but let's be sincere, you're a better side than south korea.
