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.

I can't stop watching.

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

Probably something about two mismatched cops.

"Ten Speed and Brown Shoe" debuted on ABC in 1980. It featured Ben Vereen as a wisecracking former criminal and Jeff Goldblum as an uptight account turned detective who teamed to solve crimes. Though they were private eyes, not cops.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Anyone have the odds for betting on a Brazil 2nd half comeback? I have a good feeling about this.

 

[Native]

Paulinho and Ramires coming on.

FINALLY SOME GOAL SCORERS!!!

Hopefully on for HULKFRED.

 

[msommer]

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

Tickets will be cheap, unless they play Argentina

What do you say in the locker room at halftime if you are Brazil's coach?

I don't think he really wrote that.

 

[GregR]

Ok, who is betting on a come back?

 

[Henry Ford]

Ole, ole, ole, ole... Brazil... you suck.

"Have fun out there. I'm going to go get a hot dog."

 

[Ilov80s]

This is even worse than the Super Bowl which I thought was an epic butt kicking.

 

[Premier]

*shows sad old man holding world cup*

Ian Darke "that's the closest Brazil will get to this World Cup"

He is THE GREATEST

 

[Al O'Pecia]

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

1940 NFL Championship: Chicago Bears - 73, Washington Redskins - 0

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)

I don't know how you would evaluate something like that.

Financially?

World Wide Recognition?

Success at club level?

Success at international level?

Soccer is obviously huge in Germany as it is in many countries. Is that really even a question?

[GregR]

I'm calling it right now... Brazil comes back and wins this.

On 6 straight penalty kicks awarded by the Qatari referee.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Now is the time to introduce Jo.

 

[[icon]]

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

No Tim, totally expected man.

How long since Brazil has lost on home soil?

About 45 minutes.

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

OH COME ON

 

[The Gator]

Ramirez and Paulinho?

Willian must have been caught having the sex

 

[tommyboy]

Mueller just kicked a guy right in the ballzack, no foul

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Ramirez and Paulinho?

Willian must have been caught having the sex

Defending his own actions, Willian proclaimed that "It was really nothing."

 

[tommyboy]

I wonder how much money the brazillian team got paid to lay down

 

[Eephus]

Now is the time to introduce Jo.

It's like bringing on the clown at a kid's birthday party

 

[msommer]

Wow, Brazil playing ike a team again. Wonder how long that lasts

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Paulinho and Ramires coming on.

FINALLY SOME GOAL SCORERS!!!

Hopefully on for HULKFRED.

He and Mourinho must have some sort of wager.

 

[sporthenry]

And they still can't score.

 

[Eephus]

Looks like FIFA is experimenting with the new offsides rule in the 2nd half.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

What do you say in the locker room at halftime if you are Brazil's coach?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!

 

[SmoovySmoov]

And they still can't score.

Neuer's a beast.

 

[culdeus]

wow

 

[Zow]

at the German goalie totally stonewalling these guys. Just digging that knife in deeper.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Wasn't that the same score at halftime as WW2?

 

[El Floppo]

And they still can't score.

Neuer's beatable [JulianGreene].

 

[The Gator]

And they still can't score.

Brazil need to stop passing it to Neuer

Wild mismatches don't count.

 

[timschochet]

Wasn't that the same score at halftime as WW2?

If Pele, Michael Caine, and Sylvester Stallone had found themselves down 5-0 at halftime, they would have escaped with the French Resistance.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

At what point does Brazil pull the goalie? 4 minutes ago?

How about a spoiler alert, cockbag.

 

[timschochet]

Where is Frank Reich?

 

[msommer]

When Neuer is on walkabout he is fair game

Omg Fred

 

[Native]

Oh boy Fred.

Where is Frank Third Reich?
