*** The Offical Match Thread: Brazil v Holland ***

[brakespear]

2 missed reds and counting for Brazil. Plenty of yellows being dished out to the Dutch though, they could be down to 10 men soon.

funny that

No Chiles or Mario or Townsend among the pundits tonight. Could it be ITV trying to endear themselves with viewers ahead of tomorrow's final?

 

[brakespear]

**** you Clark Carlisle.

 

[Ernest]

How was that just a yellow ?

 

[TomandJerry]

Bent ref

 

[brakespear]

justr a warning ref, nice one

 

[Ernest]

Some of this tackling is DESPICABLE

 

[brakespear]

it is not a tough one to call Clark it's blatantly not handball. Didn't think ITV could find anyone worse than Townsend but there he is.

 

[Ernest]

50million for David Luiz is laughable, how is he worth that ?

 

[TomandJerry]

Booked for diving?!

Booked for diving?!

If he hadn't started his dive before the contact with Blind, he might have won the penalty. No sympathy though; they've been diving all over the place since game 1.

 

[TomandJerry]

3-0

 

[Kevlar]

my two least favourite teams at this World Cup
dirty and cynical

Armoured taxi for Scolari..

Hate Brasil.

Cheating, diving, fouling, forearm-smashing, ref-baiting, histrionic disgrace.

Luiz emotionally disintegrating live on telly gave me an erection.

 

[Ernest]

Brazillian football is FINNISH

 

[fat old seagull]

Listening to Hoddle and Co dissecting the game, with emphasis on Brazil leaking goals, why FFS has no one mentioned that David Luiz as Central Defender has been playing centre forward and on both wings most of the match. I'm not a great Chelsea fan but they've been smart selling him before the World Cup.

Good more over hyped than England football team. Thought they were poor in comparison to the Brazil of old.

They were pitiful and if it wasn't for the ref favouring them they would've gone out at the group stage
