World Cup 2014

Hehe

Did van Nistelrooy ever play in a World Cup?

Only in 2006. Scored against CIV. But he and Van Basten didn't get along.

Btw on this supposedly not being a penalty. The rules say this, apparently:

That just had to be explained to Clarke Carlisle. You'd think defenders would know that.

I thought he did let go just outside the box tbf, but if that's your argument for not having a penalty awarded against you you deserve it

Ref has missed straight reds for Vlaar and Maxwell in the space of 5 minutes

Fernandinho hacking into Robben's ankle

There's officially no one else but me here right?

right

hate Ramires so much

whether that was him or not

this ref ffs, there will be blood

Good that Hernanes is on. Still kind of wish they had brought Ronaldinho.

Definitely, but at least he remains unsullied

lol that decision

haaaaa this is a disgrace from both teams, the ref & fifa

refs just going for the lols now

Vlaar deserves a transfer to a biggen club after this tournament tbh

Refs just in it for challops now

Vlaar deserves a transfer to a biggen club after this tournament tbh

pardon my Dutch, but is this meant as a compliment?

thirteen years ago i sat at loftus road totally despondent as clarke carlisle (along with our only other good player richard langley ffs) did his cruciate in a 0-2 loss to fulham

tonight though i'd smash his fucking idiot legs in with a crowbar myself the gobshite pundit cretin cunt

funny old game

Typo innit xp

Haha rtc, that bad huh?

Trying so hard not to get on the co-commentator thing, but Carlisle is a complete moron. Most intelligent man in football my arse, he knows nothing.

If Holland hadn't been checking back at every opportunity since they went 2-0 up there were a lot more in it for them tonight as well.

goal

van Gaal not expecting more penalties?

If you're wondering: Vorm's the only Dutchplayer who hasn't played any minutes yet.

lol at Holland going for it now

50m for Luiz

4th place flattered these

Yeah, they should probably have been turned over by Chile.

trying to think of the last similar case of a home team being carried so much further than their level by sheer will of the fans

It's a pity we had to lose Colombia and Chile for Brazil to make the last four, but I wouldn't've had it any other way

Enjoyed this Dutch side wayyyyy more than four years ago though. Needs to be said.

A medal for the ref eh? That explains it all.

USA in 94 maybe, NV?

just checked, knocked out in the round of 16 after finishing 3rd in the group, don't remember them being an awful side. thinking knockout in the 2nd round wdn't have been an unfair reflection on this Brazil team so no, still worse.

@_PaulHayward: Alarming touchline footage of Scolari on Brazilian TV. Fred and Dante seemed to challenge him. 10 goals in 2 games a travesty. What a mess.

nah that Korean side was dece

maybe a little past their level

England 1966?

mental ref mental game mental that Brazil got out of the group

The tournament is only 1 goal away from equalling the most scoringest goal amount number record.

nil nil in the final then
