It was the most embarrassing semi since watching The Crying Game
|
|
|
|
|
You can be glad England didn't make it to the semis.
|
|
|
|
|
Why? We only lose 4-0 to the Germans. 
|
|
|
|

I couldn't believe it myself!
I am German and i am happy with the result but oh my GOD!
I really felt for the Brazilians after this embarassing match 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

They way I heard it was their two best players were out, but I assume these to be strikers, which begs the question, why was the defence so crap?
Shame it wasn't 10-0, that would have been laughable.
Anyway, a Dutch/German final?

Indeed - I'd suspect Brazil being bribed to throw the match, but Corrupt World Cup is scheduled for 2022 so it can't be that.

They made it look a bit obvious if they did!

Not really.
Generally, small deceits are believed less readily than big deceits.
A 2-0 result would have been more under suspicion than a 7-1 result.

It's no surprise that Brazil lost last night. There was all but no attack, the midfield failed completely to retain the ball and David Luiz's defence was on a par with Rolf Harris.

What, he stopped halfway through to sing "Jake the Peg" and mimic the wobble board?

They missed their two stars indeed, but it's not an excuse for a 7:1 throw.
Neymar as offensive Player to coordinate and Silva missing in defense is critical but even with those 2 i predict a win for Germany 2: 0 or 3: 0

Yeah, that would be original; never seen that before

A truly sad and disasterous game. At least the Brazillian kid got to score one in for his records.
|
|
|
|
|
You could be forgiven to think that was the pre-match odds at the bookkeeper

Well - sometimes 'home field advantage' simply means: You can go home by bus

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If this topic ("why we whine like blubbering fools when our team loses") is in the curriculum of an international cultures class, I'd rather have a throat culture than take that class.

Movie Quote Of The Day
Man, this is some repugnant sh*t.
Which movie?
|
|
|
|

Pulp Fiction, and the exact quote, is "Man, that is some f**ked up repugnant sh*t", if I recall correctly...
I too dabbled in pacifism once.
