Marcelo hoping for some Rivelino bend there.

Booing the anthem. Yikes.

 

[Ignoramus]

Good to see Ed Hochuli getting work during the NFL off season.

 

[Ignoramus]

Booing the anthem. Yikes.

Do they usually stop the music half way through? Or is that how both anthems are supposed to be?

 

[Ned]

Wow thought for sure Neymar was going to score on that run.

 

[Christo]

Hulk smash

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This looks like Germany/Czechoslovakia, circa 1939

I remember that one like its yesterday.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Neymar reminding everyone why they call it "diving" instead of "falling down".

 

[Christo]

Chileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Boom

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oh, Hulk. Oh, Julio.

 

[Ned]

Chileeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

For some reason my 5yr old son has latched on to Chile as his "second favorite" since the WC started. He just went ape#### on that goal. What's with these players tucking a side of their shorts up their leg??

 

[Ignoramus]

This is fun.

 

[Ned]

Wow gorgeous header by Neymar... #5 right place right time.

 

[Christo]

Webb's letting them play.

 

[gianmarco]

Brazil getting some home cooking on these calls I think.

 

[got_nugs]

Please post a shot of the Chilean Joker in the crowd after the Chile equalizer if anyone comes across it. That was fabulous.

 

[Premier]

Chile has to rank very high on the list of people you just don't want to #### around with.

 

[ffldrew]

Webb's letting them play.

And that's his problem - because he will usually get one wrong and get duped into a bad call on something small

 

[Christo]

woah

 

[Celph Titled]

Magnificent first touch.

 

[Ned]

Awesome stache.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

This is the best I've seen Neymar look. Super dangerous all the time.

Not sure Chile deserved that last yellow though. Pretty standard bodying there IMO.

 

[Raylove]

why did Silva get the yellow?

 

[Christo]

Accumulation

[Ned]

Wow! Rugby scrum!

 

[gianmarco]

Wow

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Between Fred and Luis Gustavo's facial hair, you could imagine Socrates and Rivelino on this Brazil team.

wow no kidding.

[Ned]

That has to be the quickest first half I've watched so far. Tons of fun.

I'd buy stock in these guys if I could.

You're my favorite person ever today.

If Besler has one more good game, is there a chance a low to mid level EPL team would take a shot with him? I would guess his transfer fee would be in the 4-6 million range.

Gonzo had to open up eyes in Germany. He already went on loan once there (which ended in the first practice with him blowing his knee out). I think he needs another top game against Belgium to get a chance.

 

[TenTimes]

late call?

 

[otello]

God: Sorry, no more hands available.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

shoulder!

 

[Ilov80s]

I don't know about that call.

 

[ffldrew]

Looked like a hand ball - more of the ball looked below the shoulder

 

[jon_mx]

Very questionable call

 

[TLEF316]

Really close. Need another look

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Don't care if it was arm or shoulder. Brazil should have been called for a foul on the turnover either way.

I read somewhere that there is interest in Europe in him, dunno who exactly though or if I'm just making it up. But yeah you gotta think his shot is going to come sooner rather than later.

 

[Premier]

I can't get over the fact that the Brazilian goalie plays in MLS. That would be like if one of our Olympic basketball starters played in Greece or something.

 

[jon_mx]

It looked to hit his shoulder, but it might have been guided a bit by his bicep.

One of Chile's defenders plays in the English Championship (next tier down from the EPL).

Brazilian keepers are not well regarded in general.

 

[Ned]

Good call.
