World Cup: Group E: Brazil vs. Costa Rica, 6/22/2018

[N o o d l e s]

Vamos los ticos!

 

[Luigi Habs]

Why are Costa Rica wasting time? They need a win to qualify.

 

[Shrimper]

Right decision.

If you dive all game and then go down theatrically for a penalty with little contact, then that will happen.

 

[Shrimper]

Why are Costa Rica wasting time? They need a win to qualify.

They'd be happy to have a 0-0.

They can still go through too if they beat Switzerland next week.

 

[Natey]

Why are Costa Rica wasting time? They need a win to qualify.

Not today they don't.

They can draw today and try to beat the Swiss.

They probably need 4 points to move on, not 3.. So they need the draw too.

Gabriel Jesus is overrated

 

[Halladay]

I dont like Brazil's midfield and they miss Alves.

 

[Albatros]

Why are Costa Rica wasting time? They need a win to qualify.

Not necessarily, as long as they win Switzerland.

e: Slow. But so they can still go forward regardless of how Serbia and Brazil play.

Yea if this stays level then all Costa Rica needs is a win against the Swiss to go on. That's not trivial to do since the Swiss are a good side, but I'd say you're better trying to chase a win on the 3rd match day against Switzerland instead of against Brazil.

 

[N o o d l e s]

Two Costa Ricans down on the pitch. Doing their best Brazil impression.

LOL hypocritical of Brazil complaining about that.

 

[The Moose]

The diving and faking is just disgraceful.

 

[Burner Account]

that's a card for Marcelo no?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Can't watch the game but I've been following the live tracker on TSN.

17 shots, 5 on goal, for Brazil
3 shots, 0 on goal for Costa Rica
Possession% 68-32 in favour of Brazil

How on earth is it scoreless? Massive fail by Neymar and co, if they don't win this.

 

[Fighter]

Costarica players are damn good divers as well. Geez what a crappy ass game, now I recall why I dislike soccer...

 

[Luigi Habs]

Not today they don't.

e: Slow. But so they can still go forward regardless of how Serbia and Brazil play.

If Serbia today and Brazil win last game vs Serbia, Costa Rica are out.

 

[Shrimper]

Brazilian players acting like they wouldn't be doing the same if they were trying to hold on against someone.

 

[Natey]

Yea if this stays level then all Costa Rica needs is a win against the Swiss to go on. That's not trivial to do since the Swiss are a good side, but I'd say you're better trying to chase a win on the 3rd match day against Switzerland instead of against Brazil.

And a single point against Brazil would be better than 0, considering Brazil could beat Serbia and has a point from the draw against Switzerland.

 

[gary69]

If Brazil fail to win this, is the the worst WC by South American countries (at least so far)?

 

[The Moose]

It's time for soccer to go to stop clock timing.

 

[TP]

6 minutes? wow

 

[Prntscrn]

Ugh, the diving/embellishment/time wasting culture in south american and south european football is pathetic

Well it's not like you're missing any soccer being played.

Tite doing his best Sampaoli impression on the sideline

Ah, the good old "how we can Americanize a non-American sport" that we see every World Cup.
