World Cup: R16: Brazil vs. Mexico, 7/2/2018

[SenorDingDong]

I would have given Neymar a yellow for that shit. The Refs cannot allow that nonsense to be part of the game.

Gabriel Jesus getting all this PT over Firmino is crazy.

MEX attacking is pretty frustrating to watch.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

So a guy clearly on purpose steps on him with his studs, off the play, but he's the problem.

Yes, he is the problem.

The Mexican player deserved a card, but Neymar acted like a pro wrestler. Hell, in wrestling, what he did is called "overselling". He went Shawn Michaels vs Hulk Hogan there.

Everyone who has played the game at any level takes worse hits regularly.

 

[hatterson]

Jesus goes down like he's shot holding his head. Ref tells him to get up, he suddenly springs up and charges full speed to try to win the ball.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Either give Neymar a yellow or someone just go and tackle him hard. If he's gonna cry might as well it be real tears.

 

[illpucks]

Embarrassing dive from Neymar. Should be fined or carded for that.

 

[hatterson]

I swear to God is this turns into a Ronaldo thread every single person who mentioned him is getting banned from every thread in this forum.

 

[TP]

Mexico just doesn't have the skill. damnit

 

[dnlfrncs]

Christ almighty, I would love to see his reaction if he ever gets hit in the balls, would probably start going into convulsions

He will be missed.

Who can say where the road goes? Where the day flows? Only time...

Yea, Firmino rotting on the bench is crazy. He'd add a lot to Coutinho and Neymar on attack and in transition.

So you're that kind of football fans huh.
You'd rather defend someone who puposedly hurts star offensive players rather than a star player who acts to get him carded because the f***ing ref is blind and can't defend the star players on the pitch.

All right.

 

[illpucks]

Mexican player lightly taps his ankle and he acts like Ronaldo when he tore his acl. Embarrassment

 

[Evilo]

Thiago Silva is just dominant here. Boateng and Hummels should watch some tapes.

 

[Natey]

Ref should add 10 minutes for each dive.

All right.

You may want to rethink the use of the word "hurts". Neymar wasn't hurt by what happened there.

 

[Bondurant]

I hate having to cheer for Brazil. Can't stand Neymar.

 

[Natey]

Embellishment needs to be treated harder. It literally ruins games.

 

[The Moose]

Same here. Brazil plays well however they deserve to go through.

I am not defending either. Both are to blame. Neymar acts like a fool. The other guy did something stupid. It is not mutually exclusive.

 

[Evilo]

Giovinco does to in MLS play, what's your point?

That what Neymar does is okay because others do it?

You'll see me point out stuff Ronaldo does pretty often (ball hugging, embellishment, stupid comments). I am not being a blind homer. Even said what Ramos did to Salah was disgraceful. I really do not understand what you are trying to do here. Pointing our some hypocrisy that is not there?

Actually it's YOUR point that doesn't make sense. You're supporting a team that is known for thugs and divers and yet you shit in your pants when Neymar embellishes and you "despise" him.
How is it not hypocrisy?

 

[jc17]

Can brazil be any softer? This is hard to watch

Will you stop. There’s no way that amount of pressure would cause you to react like that. Him overseeing it like that probably cost Layun getting a card there. What he was trying to do was get Layun thrown out and there’s no respect in that. You can seriously sit and watch that reaction from Neymar and think there’s nothing wrong with it?

If Neymar is really that injured he should come off, right?

 

[Evilo]

If you've played football of any kind, you'd know it does hurt. Neymar is going to finish this game with tons of bruises like he does every game. Just like every offensive star.
