Riots coming?

Brazilian anti world cup grafitti

Not just yet. IMHO they riots will come closer to the election in October

My co-workers down there were pretty cynical before this began and it's relationship to the whole government and stadium issues, etc. - This is going to really going to cause a bunch of problems for the country

Not for the country, for the government

Yea they are gone - but it remains to be seen how the change is handled

Yeah, I've read Argentines and Brazilians who kinda hope they didn't win b/c it would give the government a pass.

I fully expected Brazil to lose today by three goals...but they just completely fell apart on defense. Unreal.

And if you are going to lose to one team that badly, Germany seemed to handle themselves with utter class at the end.

Germany was the pretty clear favorite over a full strength Brazil based on their play. Without Neymar and Silva?

I concur. The only thing Brazil had going for them was being at home.

I count only 9 game decided by 3 or more goals in this entire world cup -- and you were fully convinced one of the best squads on the planet would lose by 3? Hopefully you laid every penny you had on Germany if you were convinced.

Schurrle should probably be in Chelsea's starting XI to begin the season. Hes so tough on the wing.

Darke is a very solid pro but he is a waste on US games since he lacks so much knowledge of the US game.

Macca is just god awful. A good color guy in soccer is so hard to get.

The squad Brazil played with today is not one of the best on the planet, not even close. They have struggled mightily in this tournament and were without their best defender and striker. I was very pessimistic about Brazil's chances today.

You can believe that or not, I don't really care.

Nope. I am not remotely interested in hearing English bias every time I watch a game. Neither of these guys are capable of calling a game neutrally.

The US has had a litany of poor color guys

Twellman is just the latest in a long line of players who sucked in the role.

Twellman, Wynalda, Harkes and Balboa have all manned the color booth for big games and have all sucked imo.

Luckily Howard has shown some promise already in this role when he does the odd EPL game for NBC.

If he retires from international soccer, he could be the main color man in 2018 but then he might be stuck with Gus which means he is screwed.

There won't be any riots today. But when the bus fare increases next time...
