    BRAZIL ARE OUT !!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,246 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Mad stuff! Brazil are out! Neymar, where were you? He probably was going to be 5th penalty taker, trying to claim the limelight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,869 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Really are mentality monsters, unbelievable pen and et record

    Typical BBC commentary, get a dig in at the Muslim footballer at all costs even when they’re not involved. Pathetic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,321 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    To the surprise of absolutely no-one, Nay-mar presumably wanted to go fifth to take all the glory.

    Absolute social media footballer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,448 ✭✭✭Tandey


    No more dancing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,306 ✭✭✭✭Drumpot


    Croatia should do a little pre planned dance around the pitch.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,042 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Absolutely insane, Brazil are a joke.


    Roll on the Neymar tears, can't believe he didn't even take one!

    Croatia truly punching above their weight again, delighted for Modric.

    Brazil screwed up big time. 1-0 up and showboating out on the right wing after winning a free kick and concede from the break with a 3 on 3. Ridiculous game management.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,176 ✭✭✭omega man


    Neymar I assume was waiting for 5th pen glory.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,547 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    These South American teams just don’t have it anymore, that last 1%.

    We’ll see what happens tonight, but I’m predicting yet another all-European final.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,240 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Didi Hamann dancing somewhere I would say?

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,448 ✭✭✭Tandey




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,339 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    I'm delighted that Brazil are out. Neymar not getting to take a penalty makes it even better. I will never change my opinion of him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,240 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    You wouldn’t begrudge that fella a WC title.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,100 ✭✭✭kksaints


    Croatia are some team. They just keep pulling it out of the fire.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,240 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    They are guessing now he was likely no5 taker.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,042 ✭✭✭crushproof


    Spot on, I wonder did the manager pander to it? Cannot stand the chap, between the constant WC fails and playing for PSG he is a total waste of a talent.

    Yeah for me the winner of this goes on to win it with Portugal an outside bet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,738 ✭✭✭cmac2009


    Rodrygo was one of the most nervous and scared looking penalty takers I've seen in a while.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,142 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Yeh, just on Neymar, I'd never begrudge someone accepting to take the 5th pen, but there's clear narcisism involved with him

    He wanted the 'take jersey off and wave it' moment for sure



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,697 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Modric. I don't know what you can say.

    I've honestly never seen a player more pressure resistent in possession than him. it honestly does not matter how many players you pressure him with, or how many passing lanes you cover, he'll find a way out.

    Best midfielder of the millennium. And has the longevity at an insane level too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,154 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    He is not a top player in a multi generational sense. When he retires kids will say "Neymar who" but we are currently obliged to talk about him like he is brilliant so the Brazilians won't get sour.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,457 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Delighted for Brazil and Neymar

    On the plus side they'll have plenty of time now to practice their dance moves 👍



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,154 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Never thought we would see a better playmaker/passer than Pirlo but he has all that and more solid too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,697 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    he's half a tier above Pirlo, IMO. and that may be controversial.

    Pirlo was utterly magnificent, and is slightly more likely to provide a Hollywood moment in the form of an outrageous assist or goal.

    but at everything else, I've not seen anyone on Modric's level in the last 20 years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,240 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    It is the rolling around that annoys me. And the funny thing is when Neymar scored I thought he has finally turned up when his team needed him in a big game.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Can I just check about the dancing, what is it that has been such an affront to the people?

    Asking cause when I see the African teams do it it's celebrated and I see people enjoying the vibrance and excitement and fun and all that, that it brings.

    Do the same people also really get bothered when other teams dance I suppose is the question?

    Then further onto the, why would anyone dancing genuinely upset you? If we have some time.
