It was straight from the dippers' manual of maudlin gestures.
Mentally, Brazil lost that match before kick off.
Of course!01cravend said:If Germany win, if you were say Andre Schurrle, do you rock up to Chelsea training and rip your Brazilian teammates?
Notice how he stayed out on the field on his own crying? Was he upset? Or was he trying to show the crowd how "upset" he was, maybe to make them think "aww, look at David, he tried so hard and is so upset just like we are"...?Markt85 said:sh249 said:supercrystal7 said:Luiz was very poor today and I feel sorry for him, but this post is still spot on. Luiz bursting forward is fine and actually creates chances, but you need a team that covers for it. When Luiz made his forward runs, one of the midfielders should have dropped back as a centre back. Hummels does it a lot for Dortmund and it works very well.
PSG will be fine next season defensively. The bigger issue for them is getting the wingers to track back.
I don't know what was wrong with Marcelo though. The sad thing is Felipe Luiz was not even in the squad.
Still surprised teams have been so stupid against Germany. The right hand side is where they destroy you with Lahm and Muller. The left hand side is where they are not only impotent due to Ozil and Howedes, but also weak defensively. That's the side to attack. Robben certainly will attack that side. Though Hummels is on that side and I am sure Schweinsteiger and Khedira will cover.
In what way do you feel sorry for him? Genuinely interested to know.
He was crying he's eyes out after the game, genuinely upset Brazil got stuffed and he probably knew that he was a big reason for that drubbing.
He looked like he'd been sniffing something mate:)TCIB said:Luiz seems a top Fella but he is a bleedin lunatic on the pitch positioning wise.
There is a place in the game for him but he couldn't harm his chances if he just thinks on a bit.
I mean if you wanted to cause mayhem to another teams plans, stick him in midfield and you would get the desired effect. No point telling him to hang back or whatnot because he will forget as soon as he gets a sniff of the ball.
Fred is a poor player, not his fault he gets the nod to play and can't handle it but he is very low grade.

It was a marketing/propaganda ploy for me so the fans don't turn on the team and maybe to stop the public from rioting too much.
If you've just been stuffed and put in a pathetic performance, you skulk ff to the changing rooms in disgrace, not try and milk it on the pitch. Ulterior motives underlie all that crying.
I think a lot of the crying has been very "faux" throughout the World Cup and the holding up of the Neymar shirt was so cringeworthy it was almost like seeing Liverpool out in the WC.
