The Brazilians taking Neymar's shirt onto the field with them to sing the anthem- what did it for them?
In retrospect....it seems to have psyched them out...

Objectively, what good does a show of respect, concern, solidarity, and/or friendship with an injuried teammate do for anyone?

Remind them that their best player isn't there. Though, quite possibly ,they should have worried about the missing first choice DC more than Neymar.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The German machine is conquering the world's hearts and all they had to do was beat two Portuguese-speaking teams by a combined 11-1.  :lol:

Surely a person didn't actually lay that bet.  :huh:
Maybe it was Scolari?  :hmm:

Looking forward to a Dutch German final after all the talk in the press about how an all South American final would be a perfect result.

I have a feeling that today's game is going to be a bit of a letdown.  It seems like both teams would okay with going to the penalties rather than risking an attacking play tactic.

Yea, the dutch seem incapeable of controling a game, and the argies are gonna be afraid of persie and robben.

Calling it: Holland wins 3-1. No goal by Messi.

Disappointed by the lack of a Google doodle to commemorate yesterday's spectacle.

I dont't think there's a Google Doodle of the soccer equivalent Stukas divebombing Warsaw in football kit.

Fuck, what was that Neil Simon movie, "And the crazy sex games he would made me play, like 'Bomber Pilot': he was a Stuka dive bomber, and I was Poland."
