Brazil v Holland

[Rook]

Its not really the pragmatic style of football that bothers me, I kind of enjoyed watching Paraguay yesterday. Its the diving cheating etc and I wouldn't even tolerate an Everton player doing that either. If it doesn't bother you because its your team getting the benefit then next time gerrard flings to the turf and someone from our back 4 gets sent off because of it you can't say nothing. That being said if you took Robben out the diving, ref baiting etc would decrease by about 70 percent. Its a shame too if Robben didn't play act and would get on with it he'd be one of the most exciting footie players in the world.

Good point, but I'm man enough to admit I'm a big hypocrite when it comes to that.b)
Getting under the Brazilians skin by adopting their own beloved strategy is something I absolutely loved and enjoyed on Friday, won't lie about that one.

Oh and sorry Rook but I took this quote from you in the Suarez thread.

Its the same as fouling someone on a fast break. There's nothing wrong with it. Neville would be proud of the young guy. Ghana are dirty anyway and if they didn't time waste so much then they would have had more time to try to win it in regulation.

Especially the line in bold. So are Brazil, Rook, so are Brazil and they been for many years.

That was about the only think satifying about the match. If Robben is the worst diver then Danni Alves is a close No.2. If their is a silver lining to this is that all of Brasil thanks you for getting Dunga fired.

It was our pleasure.

Ghana were junk. First they feed that clown Clottey down our throats and now this. Not sure why we were supposed to root for them just because they are from Africa. They are dirty only unlike Holland only no one really called them out for it (except Ian Darke who wanted to punch someone). Would have rooted for Holland if that was the match up. Even if Brasil wasn't a dirty side they probably deserved to lose for subjecting to world to the 0-0 draw against Portugal.

Time for the Dutch to reveal their hand. For all Brazil's scoring prowess I reckon the Dutch are reasonably organised at the back to counter this and that they can win the midfield battle. If Sneijder can finally start pulling the strings of Van Persie they could edge this one. I hope so. Brazil get on my ******* tits.

You called that one well! Nice one!
