GWT: World Cup - Round of 16 - Brazil v. South Korea

[hatterson]

It'd be disgraceful.

Exactly

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

TBH I want to see England win because the commentary would be insanely hilarious.

Well as the board's resident "Standing Up For Southgate" poster, I'd not have a problem with that per se. But generally speaking it's probably the South Americans' turn after they struck out 4 times in a row (by far longest stretch since the start of WCs I think).

 

[Tryamw]

Exactly

Some people want to watch the world burn... Others pull out the gasoline and matches..

 

[ViD]

Brazil - Argentina would’ve been a great final. Let’s see if they can at least play each other in 1/2

 

[Spring in Fialta]

All that being said, besides Croatia-Japan, I think that tomorrow's games should always have been expected to be the closest games.

I'd have no problem if Argentina were to win, and I'd be happy for Messi.

Not Brazil though. There would never be a situation where that wouldn't make me want to vomit.

Nah between Argentina and Brazil, Brazil have always been the nice guys that you can cheer for as a neutral without feeling bad. If Germany had beaten Argentina 7-1 in 2014, you would have seen some crazy shithousing from them. Brazil took the loss with a certain amount of dignity tbh that you wouldn't ever expect from Argentina.

I think Morocco is going to be absolutely pumped against Spain. I actually support Spain, I’m rooting for them to win it all, but if they come out like they did against Japan I hope they get stomped. They completed over 1000 passes in that game and I believe that they only completed 7 inside the Japanese back end. It’s actually anti football…

I'm not saying my opinion is objective or grounded in reality.

I absolutely can't stand Brazil or England. A final between those teams would make me pray for a natural disaster.

They havent been that team in years. Today is a prime example of how classy this generation isnt for them.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

DOnt see how Croatia gets past Brazil after running for 120 minutes. Brazil likely takes the WC if they beat Argentina. No one else stops them

Nice guys like Casemiro, Ederson, Neymar... LOL

I kind of agree, though the French might have a shot if they can dictate the pace.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I hope Croatia or Argentina or the Dutch or whoever knock the smile and the dancing off of this Brazilian team the way Germany did but I don't particularly like the Croatian or Argentine teams either lol.

 

[bluesfan94]

Of the remaining teams, this is the order in which I would like to see them win:

1. Argentina
2. Netherlands
3. Switzerland
4. Morocco
5. Croatia
6. Spain
7. Brazil
8. England
9. France
10. Portugal

 

[Karterthadon]

Brazil needs to sub off half their team now though

They subbed nobody lol Tite's a moron now watch Casemiro pick up a useless booking

That's a myth. As has been that of joga bonito in the last three decades.

If you actually did some research instead of trotting out cliches Argentina have been one of the cleanest sides in recent World Cups. That 2007 Copa final the Brazilians were so classy they committed over fifty fouls most of which went unpunished by one of the most useless referees I've ever seen.

They've just won a big tournament and they don't have an Arsenal player to redeem them a la France. Although to be fair, I'm not really counting Copa America as a big tournament with my inclusion of Argentina. Mostly because it feels like CONMEBOL is a bit of a two team confederation at the moment.

Rivaldo clutching his face against Costa Rica in 2002, they haven't been classy since Pele.

My bad, Turkey, not Costa Rica.

Well '82 and '86..

 

[Jersey Fresh]

There’s a reason the entire continent hates Argentina.

 

[koyvoo]

If Neymar isn’t fully fit, it’s ridiculous that Tite hasn’t pulled him yet.

I am the second-worst type of fan: I only pay attention to this sport at the WC and Euro Cup.

I say second-worst, because I at least admit I am stupid and don't know anything so that's gotta count for something, right?

There’s a reason the entire continent hates Argentina.

Not all of that is due to football though.
