brazil got lucky

They didn't stop playing. you play until the whistle goes off. If you call that as lucky sure they did.
They were also robbed on the last game.

true, dont get me wrong I was cheering for Brazil to win and they were pushing hard to score the 2nd period which finally paid off after 90minutes, just felt that costa rica deserved to tie for holding them off for that long

So what is your opinion on,
1) non-calls on a push inside the area before Switzerland's equalizer
2) Non call on pulling Jesus down in the area

i didnt watch the first game but if they acted like they did in the second it would take a blatent foul for me to blow the whistle. bunch of pussies. diving in the box should be an automatic card

Did not see it but will look on clips when I get home and respond.
But clarify your argument that Brazil were robbed.

Well I thought it was clear. If the push was called then there s no equalizer goal. Therefore Brazil would have won the game.
Had they made the call on pulling Jesus down in the area it would have been a a penalty shot.
So in my opinion they were robbed of a win.

Ma boi Xhaka with the equalizer for the Swiss (Arsenal fan btw haha)

Fair enough. But I disagree.

In the box there will be a bit of push and tussle. The ref has to balance this out and make a split second judgement. I don't think it will be 100% perfect but the refs are not stupid.
The issue is not so much the push but what is the defender doing to allow that positioning to happen..? I see the defender at fault here.
WTF was the defender doing with his back to the striker...? Was he waiting for the Swiss striker to rub his dick on his ass for some samba batty play..?
It's shit defending. He should be side ways, eye on ball and eye on the defender. At this level this is basic. Im surprised no other pundit picked it up except Wenger...



What makes it worse is that he is wearing a Brazil shirt hence he of all people should know better.
Brazil are also making it harder from themselves but wearing their girlfriends underwear while they play. I mean they keep falling over and crying for every play. I get other teams are doing it, but Brazil are letting this overtake their game.
This leads to the ref making a judgement by giving the benefit of the doubt to the opposition as he is seeing Brazil fall over all the time. The refs are not stupid, they get briefed they talk to each other.

The Swiss did a great job holding Brazil's game play. Neymar struggled with the physical play..either that or Neymar forgot to wash his fanny.. the pungent whiff kept making him nauseated to fall over.
I don't think Brazil were robbed. They just did not play well.
Brazil should have done better. They don't have a right to win or have calls made their way. They need to balance this out with their play. I think they are riding their luck, Im waiting for them to play a real technical European team.



Another example is the penalty in the England game. It was a bit harsh but I call to question the defender should not have positioned himself like that.

As for the Swiss game... fucking hell.... I missed the equaliser as I walked to a friends. But had the Serbian defender not fell... he could have stopped it... lol
But the winning goal... bloody hell!

Have Belgium peaked too early..?

[tonytiger55]

How does their hair stay so perfect, they are running, sweating and heading the ball yet they look like they just walked out of the tunnel
