World Cup 2014

wait brazil's goalie is from the MLS?? o____o

brazil have had one competent goalkeeper since the 60s and he was a blond white dude so shouldn't even count

that seems especially shaky though

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

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

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 has a bearing that inspires confidence the first time you see him

He looks like a colonist

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

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.

Same thing happened way back when, in the Uruguayan Youth League, he didn't mean to headbutt the ref, he fell.

also, jaws fell on boat.

Loooooool

HAHAHAHAHA

hmmmmmm

I think ref got that one wrong

Shit call after a shit finish.

yeah i think hulk's general shitness made it look suss

looked like it hit just distal to his shoulder which is technically a hand ball no?

on second replay i agree with it

barely a handball, but yellow for *deliberate* handball is ... brave

def not deliberate, for sure.

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?

"Chile... Is the long, thin country at the bottom of south amerjca"

Great and informative description

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

the goal i mean

Leandro Damião, what became of him?

ooh chance

Amazing setup there

Chile really getting into this

Never thought I'd say this but Webb is half decent so far

hope Chile can get something going here

Neither look like a world cup winning team imho

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

Have the feeling if Chile don't score soon Brazil will nick a winner

more shit like that is how Brazil will win this

brazil is gonna pop one soon but the second half has been horrible

wow hulk

i'm rooting for brazil here, my desire to see more neymar is outweighing the potential lols of brazil blowing this

what a stupid turnover

oh pleese not extra time, i gotta travel somewhere before the next game

I wanna see more sanchez
