World Cup 2014

'Neuer head and shoulders above everyone else' - take that Hart

It's going to be hilarious when Germany loses 1-0 to Argentina with a late Messi goal.

If Brazil had stayed at home it would only have been 5-0

In terms of transfer fees, how many millions of pounds has this Brazil team cost? And they're just getting run over. I mean, a not-especially-amazing Ghana side at least got a draw out of these. A USA side with Michael sodding Bradley in it nearly did the same. In terms of demolitions, I used to have Spain v Ireland at Euro 2012 as a gold standard, but this... is a completely different planet.

Paulinho. For fuck's sakes. £17million (17/20s of a Lovren) for a man who does not appear to be one-tenth of the player Jermaine Jones is.

7-1 and Ozil will still be under pressure for his final place. lol

Hulk cost €60m Swygart

david luiz apologising to god

OK, Neuer's face on fucking his clean sheet bonus may actually be the best bit of this.

I will never want Germany to win any game again

Some UI guy is getting a bonus for adding scrolling to the score box graphics.

Forgot about the 3/4 playoff game!!!

wonder if brazil will even field a full team for that

Most of the brazil players were on verge of tears throughout the 2nd half

felt for the players huddling and getting booed tae fuck

Schweini!

Are players as superstitious as fans cos if I was a German player I'd be thinking shit the final is gonna go wrong now.

dude i know says he put money on Germany to win by six or more, netting him £480. which presumably means an outlay of £2 or something?

rioting has started apparently :-(

or maybe it's just tail lights xps

Gonna try and work this out using transfermarkt.co.uk xpost

G
12 Júlio César 3m to Inter
D
4 David Luiz 50m to PSG
D
6 Marcelo 5.7m to Real (worth a lot more now obv)
D
13 Dante 7m to Bayern
D
23 Maicon 12m to City
M
5 Fernandinho 28m to City
M 8 Paulinho 10.5m to Spurs
M
7 Hulk 48m to Zenit
M
11 Oscar 22m to Chelsea
M
17 Luiz Gustavo 14m to Wolfsburg
M
20 Bernard 22m to Shaktar
F
9 Fred 13m to Lyon
M 19 Willian 31m to Chelsea

Gets me at 266m. Most football teams in history have never cost that much. Neymar (to Barca) and Silva (to PSG) must add 100m to that, obviously.

I could be wrong but I think the whole back 5 had also won the champions league (cesar and maicon at inter, luiz at chelsea, marcelo at real and dante at bayern) and i'm unsure whether oscar was at chelsea when they did it. So maybe 6 CL winners?

And I don't think I've seen many teams ever perform worse.

oh i presume gustavo was a cl winner with bayern too? making it maybe 7.

A least the average goals per game in this wc corrected itself again
