Hulk smaaaaaassshhhhh

murpho999

This is a great game for a 3rd/4th place play off.

Benimar

Oscar did himself out of a penalty by going down before the contact. Had he not it would have been a definite penalty.

tastyt

Alkin needs to shut up about David luiz. Get off the bandwagon alkin

Will I Amnt

van Persie seems to have forgotten about the offside rule.

Pighead

Van Persie offside for what seems about the 100th time this tournament. No way Brazil don't score in this game. Dutch sitting very deep. Hopefully they do it soon so we get a grandstand finish.

Cienciano

I really don't like this Brazil team, but I hope they score. I'm glad neither of these teams got to the final though.

I missed a fair bit of it cause the power went at the house, but it dies seem decent enough.

Harry Angstrom

I thought Brian Kerr was going to something along the lines that it was incredible Hulk was being brought on.

Guy:Incognito

Brazil would probably be better off sticking Neymar on in a wheelchair than relying on Hulk.

Corholio

With Hulk, I think you need to put him somewhere where his usual ****ing up will lead to minimum damage. Probably up front if anywhere.

Yes sir you win this one

SlickRic

the ref really likes giving Brazil free kicks for no apparent reason.

vidor

I've never seen Hulk play well.

Hulk needs to learn how to use the 'finesse' button

Muahahaha

Hulk, lol what a waste of space

AllGunsBlazing

Hulk doing what he does best there.

Harry Angstrom

All we need is Fred to complete the Brazilian incompetency.

alkin going on and on about luiz is wrecking my head i nearly hopes he smashes in a 30 yard screamer to shut him up

he is there to defend though which he is not very good at

Will I Amnt

It would be hard to leave Vlaar and Kuyt out of a team of the tournament. That's something I never imagined I would be thinking back at the start.

Corholio

Its nice to hearna commentator say how he feels though. Its what a lot of us think about Luiz anyway.

Vlaar has to be a shoo-in.

phenomenal tournament from him, particularly in the knockout rounds.

Vrij is equally good as Vlaar IMO. He is also very good on the ball and carries the ball forward. Very much impressed by him.

Stop, Aiken, stop. Just stop. Please stop.

He'd still be a crap defender though which is his bread and butter. Or its supposed to be.

Is Kerr starting to sober up, his speech is becoming clearer but he's speaking less..

efb

Poor ol' Robben nobody loves him!

Zico

Are FIFA taking revenge on Brazil for investigating the ticket touting?

The penalty decisions were a bit too mad to be incompetence.

Rayne Wooney

That was a peno as well

glasshopper

no way robben is getting another peno regardless

Do you think this is the Garth Brooks thread?

Kerr on Robben 'if the holy ghost was near him he'd still hit the ground'

And how do you explain the peno not given there for the foul on Robben?

wonski

Looks like game over to me.

Was hoping for few more goals, looking forward to the final now.

Let's forget about this game for now.

Well I hope they give Van Gaal a manager's medal.







Because it could be a long time before he sees one again.

id love to know how Hulk gets away with being called a professional soccer player

George Hamilton wouldn't even stoop to that, sounded better in his head.

Vlaar yes but Kuyt's woeful semi final performance rules him out for me. Had a decent tournament overall though in fairness to him.

Al_Coholic

i would have loved Dirk Kuyt to score a goal

Harry Angstrom

Don't make me angry, Mr Magee.....

My favourite thing about this WC was the Google Doodles, and winning €95

For me it was the football.

Corholio

Is anyone else looking forward to Brazils reaction and recovery from this? It has massively hurt a pure football nation, of its own making of course. But I think there might be a different outlook on things after this tournament.
