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)

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

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

god that chumminess is one of the things i hate most

He looks like a colonist
― 龜, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:56 (twelve years ago)
Does look like the sort of fellow who'd take everybody on a lap around the field and then ask everybody to drop and give him 20
an empire builder
― caek, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:56 (twelve years ago)
he was a policeman before he turned pro as a ref
2010 World Cup final was a masterclass in allowing one team to try and kill the other tho

Apparently, Luis Suarez has claimed that he didn't mean to bite but he fell on Chiellini's shoulder.
― StanM, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:59 (twelve years ago)
Same thing happened way back when, in the Uruguayan Youth League, he didn't mean to headbutt the ref, he fell.

I think ref got that one wrong

yeah i think hulk's general shitness made it look suss
― r|t|c, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:17 (twelve years ago)
looked like it hit just distal to his shoulder which is technically a hand ball no?
― gbx, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:18 (twelve years ago)
on second replay i agree with it
― r|t|c, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:19 (twelve years ago)
barely a handball, but yellow for *deliberate* handball is ... brave
― caek, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:19 (twelve years ago)
def not deliberate, for sure.
― gbx, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:20 (twelve years ago)
maybe like the most pedantic correct decision ever, similar to how that's probably Luiz' goal earlier because it lightly brushed his crotch
did Webb actually visibly award the goal then change his mind?

Great and informative description
― 龜, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:20 (twelve years ago)
the handball I mean, agree the booking is v harsh
the handball call came from the linesman i think, so webb probably briefly awarded it
― caek, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:22 (twelve years ago)
the goal i mean
― caek, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:23 (twelve years ago)
Leandro Damião, what became of him?
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:24 (twelve years ago)
ooh chance

Amazing setup there

Chile really getting into this
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:26 (twelve years ago)
Never thought I'd say this but Webb is half decent so far
― In the airplane over the .CSS (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:27 (twelve years ago)
hope Chile can get something going here

Neither look like a world cup winning team imho
― StanM, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:34 (twelve years ago)
if chile get past brazil i would expect them to play much better in subsequent rounds. they took a long time to settle into this game, and i am sure the brazil factor - both the home crowd and their particular wc history with brazil - was a big part of that
― Roberto Spiralli, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:38 (twelve years ago)
Have the feeling if Chile don't score soon Brazil will nick a winner
― groovypanda, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:38 (twelve years ago)
more shit like that is how Brazil will win this
― Ismael Klata, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:41 (twelve years ago)
brazil is gonna pop one soon but the second half has been horrible
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:43 (twelve years ago)
wow hulk
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:44 (twelve years ago)
i'm rooting for brazil here, my desire to see more neymar is outweighing the potential lols of brazil blowing this
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:45 (twelve years ago)
what a stupid turnover
― gbx, Saturday, 28 June 2014 17:47 (twelve years ago)
oh pleese not extra time, i gotta travel somewhere before the next game
