The Larch

Since winning the WC in 2002, Brazil have been kicked out of the competition every time they've faced an European team.

In 2006, they lost to France in the QF after defeating Ghana.
In 2010, they lost to the Netherlands in the QF after defeating Chile.
In 2014, they lost to Germany in the semis after defeating Chile and Colombia.
In 2018, they lost to Belgium in the QF after defeating Mexico.

In other words, the last game that Brazil has won against a European team in the knock-out stages of the WC was the final against Germany in 2002.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

They can't afford to be boring too much longer...

Good, let your hate for the Dutch grow. Let it feed your soul. The hate makes us stronger.

Very light penalty for Argentina. Messi scores, this time. He failed one against Saudi Arabia.

Very mediocre game. As expected the quarter finals are as far as this team can go.

Too vague. ;)

How many times do I have to repeat to you that since the Selecção is their bête noire, it's good that they qualify?  :angry:  :P

As i told you, hate knows no reason :D

Can the Dutch pull a Croatian-style upset?

Argentina 2 Netherlands 1

Duque de Bragança

The Dutch just missed a great chance to equalise. Game over?
