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

[Jersey Fresh]

Not all of that is due to football though.

That’s what I mean.

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

Giving someone an hour of game time to get more match fit isn't that crazy. Honestly, it's probably a good way to build fitness. But if it goes much longer, yes absurd. He should also pull Militao to avoid a second yellow.

I'm good.

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?

Hey there are some regulars here who I wish had that kinda humility.

We've earned our obnoxiousness.

I don't watch nearly enough football to know anything of substance, and I try to go on what I see.

I feel guilty being a fly-by fan but I don't have time to be a real one.

i'm keeping out of this one lol

 

[Zirakzigil]

That was a pretty strike

 

[TMLeafer]

Glad they scored

 

[bluesfan94]

Took a deflection to beat Allisson

 

[TheGreenTBer]

Slick.

 

[hatterson]

Few players in an offside position on that FK, but they didn't make a play on the ball so no offside offense.

 

[Solmors]

Looked like an own goal

Looked like an own goal

Deflected, but not an own goal.

 

[TMLeafer]

Keeper sub

 

[hatterson]

Looked like an own goal

Shot would have been on target, so not an OG.

 

[bluesfan94]

I'm a little surprised they pulled the keeper. I guess it makes sense but Alisson has made a bunch of saves and the game would be a little closer without him.

I don't really think it makes a lot of sense. Even in a game where they're doing a lot, a keeper isn't taking a lot of wear a tear like an outfield player is.

Unless he has a bit of a knock from one of those saves, it would make far more sense to sub an outfield player to save the miles. And if saving players is a concern, it was really stupid to leave Neymar out as long as he was and dumb to leave on guys on a yellow.

Ah, I must have seen the angle wrong. Looked like it was going wide and then the head deflected it just inside the post to me.

Probably don't want him to hurt himself doing some kind of save

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Come on South Korea. Just need to get it to the 40 yard line to set up a field goal.

The reason I say it makes sense is because I'm pretty confident they just wanted to get Weverton a WC cap and it came late in the game but after Alisson lost his clean sheet.

 

[Live in the Now]

They took him out because otherwise Weverton would never play in the WC
