Tite fukking up from the jump. 4-4-2 formation :dahell:

And of course, these clowns immediately fukk it up on their first offensive play because they got no CF.

Militão is a dumbass.

This might be the worst BR team since '10.

And we're probably going to win anyway. :mjlol:

Most of these games feel far more open than I can remember in a World Cup (been watching World Cups since 1994, but club soccer for way less longer).

I remember thinking the sport was boring and not realizing that it was because of the conservative play in a short knockout tournament and not inherently something wrong with football as a kid. But these games feel incredibly open. Something like Germany/Costa Rica, which was basically played like a basketball game for all of the second half, I can't really remember happening in past World Cups.

I don't know if you guys saw it but FIFA released a goal line video of Japan's last goal.



Clearly not fully out so right call.

Saw a camera angle on live TV where the ball was clearly over the line. I find it interesting that that footage isn't being shown

upsets,dramas,controversies etc

The 2nd half of these games have been crazy. All of the teams look dog tired at the end of the game which is opening up the field. It looks more like a fast break in the 2nd half compared to a Big 10 Football game in the 1st half.
