BBC2 was just showing the FIFA film of 1994 WC. I had totally forgotten that Massaro missed a spot kick in the penalty shootout for Italy. I had always thought it was just Baresi and Baggio who missed.

as a foreigner bred on nike adverts of ronaldinho being amazing whilst grinning, I will be disappointed in brazil if they fail to provide enough moments of ebullient skill for a montage with this as the music

don't understand the Brazil hate at all but i wd prefer Chile to win

'cept i have to miss the second half at some sort of youth orchestra performance ffs

Because they're terrible? Brazil deserves a better team than this team. All the same would be bad to see the host nation getting turfed out in the second round so I'm undecided who to root for

Well done Howard Webb
― everyday sheeple (Michael B), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:15 (twelve years ago)
That wasn't sarcasm btw
Brazil have hardly been terrible, merely underwhelming in the group stage, like plenty of tournament winners before them. just seems an exaggerated dislike to me, as if it's their fault for being the home team
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:16 (twelve years ago)
from what i remember 94 Brazil were uglier than this for the entire competition
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:17 (twelve years ago)
brazil might be terrible at fulfilling the platonic ideal of a brazil side but they're pretty decent at playing football
― ogmor, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:17 (twelve years ago)
basically there hasn't been a platonic Brazil side since what? 1982?
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:18 (twelve years ago)
the only reason the cheer for Brazil imo is for fear that the country will go up in flames if they get knocked out
otherwise fuck em

This could have been a mess by now if the ref hadn't been Webb.

wait brazil's goalie is from the MLS?? o____o
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:36 (twelve years ago)
brazil have had one competent goalkeeper since the 60s and he was a blond white dude so shouldn't even count
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:40 (twelve years ago)
that seems especially shaky though
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:42 (twelve years ago)
i'm surprised brazil hadn't hijacked one of their teenage basketball players and forced him to learn to play goalie
How does Howard Webb get selected for these international gigs if he's crap in the Premiership? Or do only Liverpool fans think he sucks? (a quick googling session seems to point in that direction but I really don't know)
― StanM, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:43 (twelve years ago)
2002 was platonic ideal Brazil side, and everybody yawned
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:45 (twelve years ago)
Chile really shd've gone in front at the end there, pretty sure Webb will manage to give Brazil something in the second half if they're still struggling at 70ish minutes
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:51 (twelve years ago)
basically webb is the most experienced english ref, and he has a bearing that inspires confidence the first time you see him
he's legit bad though
― caek, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:53 (twelve years ago)
I think he's a pretty average ref overall but his on pitch presence & the way he interacts with players gives him the aura of a really classy & in control one
