@OnionSports: BREAKING: World Cup Announcer One German Goal Away From Comparing Match To Holocaust

 

[GregR]

Brazil still playing with 11 right?

They have 11 on the field, yes.

Whether they are playing can be debated.

 

[Slapdash]

Hulk really needs to go

Massive disappointment. He and Fred have been awful.

Who has really played well for Brazil outside of Neymar the whole tournament?

 

[timschochet]

Just turned this on. Damn. Is this score as shocking as it appears?

 

[msommer]

The Brazilian commentators are saying that there was off side on the fifth goal.

As if it mattered...

If you've ever wondered what Arsenal in a World Cup would look like...

Soccer noob here.....as in Arsenal is Brazil or Arsenal is Germany?

Germany of course, he meant Germanyyyyyyyyyyyy

No. He was not talking about Germany

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CLARIFY, DANGIT!!!

Is Arsenal really good or really bad?

 

[GregR]

How long since Brazil has lost on home soil?

I'm going to start kicking people in the balls.

 

[The_Man]

This must be what Bronco fans felt like in February.

Maybe what they felt like in the 2nd quarter of Super Bowl XXII when the Redskins dropped 35 points on them in about 7 minutes of possession time. This is the only thing I can think of that remotely compares to this.

 

[Eephus]

We'll just have to wait four more years for the first MLS player to play in a World Cup final. Hopefully, he'll be American.

 

[Premier]

No Tim, totally expected man.

 

[McGarnicle]

How long since Brazil has lost on home soil?

About 45 minutes.

 

[sporthenry]

3 goals in 179 seconds.

In America, we call that 3 minutes.

Really good, but they don't perform well at certain times....♛Liverpool♛ vs Arsenal [ 5-1 ] 08.02.2014 [ Engli: http://youtu.be/65lOUU6mEPs

 

[The Gator]

HOLY ####!

Get to work....

 

[pats3in4]

I wonder if Brazil wishes they had Alves out there on defense...

I wonder if Brazil wishes they had Pele out there. And I mean Pele today, not in his prime.

 

[Guest]

Wow. Had stuff to do at work, and was hoping to catch the 2nd half. Crazy.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

How long since Brazil has lost on home soil?

First competitive loss since 1975.

 

[The_Man]

7-goal lead in the 2nd half is when the soccer mercy rule kicks in ... in my 11-year-old daughter's league.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

3 goals in 179 seconds.

In America, we call that 3 minutes.

Yeah, but they're probably on the metric system.

 

[The Gator]

Oh yeah, a storm knocked out the power.....:riots:

Yeah, probably more apt, though the Broncos were out of this past Super Bowl very very early with never any hope of winning. At least they were still in the game before the 2nd quarter vs Redskins. Seattle snuffed them immediately.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Massive disappointment. He and Fred have been awful.

Bad enough that we can start using their full names?

Arsenal = Big expectations, poor results over the last ten years.

 

[Guest]

If Brazil cuts the lead to 2, will the refs add 80 minutes of extra time?

 

[ffldrew]

This is insane. I had a client in my office for ten minutes and 4 goals were scored.

I was on conference call with it on in background and I kept thinking it was replays

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in.

Yes, refer to him as Dr. David Banner for the remainder of the game.

 

[Snoopy]

3 goals in 179 seconds.

In America, we call that 3 minutes.

Yeah, but they're probably on the metric system.

There is indeed metric time: 10 hours in a day, 100 minutes in an hour, 100 seconds in a minure. meaning 100,000 metric seconds in a day, vs 86,400 regular seconds in a day.

First competitive loss since 1975.

Not sure this was really competitive.

 

[Black Box]

This will at least allow the Brazilian fans to get through all five stages of grief before the end of the match.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Just turned this on. Damn. Is this score as shocking as it appears?

Lets try and use an analogy

NFL Conference Final

Middle of 2nd quarter

Away team is winning 49-0

Home team has not lost at home since 1975

Does that answer your question?

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

"Hulk and Fred" sounds like a really bad summer replacement series on ABC circa 1979.

Probably something about two mismatched cops.

 

[TenTimes]

Would Dirk Nowitzki give up a top 10-15 NBA career to be Miroslav Klose? (still trying to get a sense of just how big soccer is in other countries)

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Just turned this on. Damn. Is this score as shocking as it appears?

OH COME ON

But is Arsenal good in your comparison?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

My link.

 

[Ilov80s]

I'm trying to think of something comparable, but I just can't. It's the worst loss in sports history.

And home team is coached by Wannstedt

You're about 241 pages late with that one

 

[Nucker101]

Don't have a hose in this race, but I do find implosions to be quite entertaining, although not as much fun as a good back and forth, fast-paced game where both teams are actually competitive.

Liar

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Gonna be a fun crowd for that third-place game.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Every Brazilian in the crowd

 

[The Z Machine]

So... uh Argentina?
