Torpedo Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 2nd half Colombia played as they should have played the first one. Brazil still doesn't convince me, but they'll win this fake competition anyway I can foresee a final match between Brazil and Argentina. Would you bet which one will win?

Leonardo Drummond Posted July 4, 2014 Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) 2nd half Colombia played as they should have played the first one. Brazil still doesn't convince me, but they'll win this fake competition anyway I can foresee a final match between Brazil and Argentina. Would you bet which one will win? There's actually a big rumour around here that this is all fake. Brazil is going through very difficult times economically and socially. Current government is a joke and hosting the World Cup in a country with increasingly bad education and health systems is an outrage. I actually think it'll be good for the country if we lose, since the happiness will be over and we will be able to go back to complaining about our situation. Still, I think that this is just a conspiracy theory, as I can't bring myself to believe that it would be possible to fake such a big thing with so many countries involved. In other news, I just learned that Neymar's back is fractured and that we lost him for the WC. I wasn't at all confident before that, but now, I completely lost hope. If we win now, the conspiracy theory is going to convince me. Edited July 4, 2014 by Leonardo Drummond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 That sucks, they lose Silva and Neymar for the Germany match.....the foul looked ugly, but didn't realize it was THAT bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'd like to see the X-Rays and MRI of that vertebra. The hit wasn't that bad and Neymar isn't a 60 year old lady precisely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 They published the CT scans on a Brazilian paper? I don't think that can be done under any privacy protecting law system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Drummond Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 They published the CT scans on a Brazilian paper? I don't think that can be done under any privacy protecting law system. Well, this is Brazil Antonio, so everything's possible... I actually saw a 3D scan (no idea if it's a tomography or whatever) as well because my brother-in-law is a doctor and has a friend who works in a hospital in Fortaleza... then there's WhatsApp... you get the idea.

jgazal Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 "(...) A. The Rights of Celebrities Celebrities are entiltled to the same general right of privacy that extends to all individuals. However, the degree to which that right is protected is much narrower for public figures. Articles recounting the details of the daily lives of celebreties generate a much higher level of interest on the part of the public than do similar stories concerning unknown people. As a result, a broad spectrum of information concerning celebrities is transferred from the protective shield of privacy into the realm of the public interest" (...)

acidbasement Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I didn't see the whole game, but from what I saw, it never should have gone to shots. Netherlands deserved that one. Fucking Robben and his diving though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screaming oranges Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Costa Rica, another instance where the goalie is gold. Very good run for my neighbors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I hate to admit it, but Holland deserved the win this time. I didn't expect the goalie swap experience to be that effective. Live to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agile_one Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Great game. Der Dutchmen worked their asses off, and did deserve the win, but, damn, Costa Rica made them earn it, and almost pulled it off in regulation. Well done CR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
