World Cup Thread, Round of 16, Sat 28 June - Tue 1 July

Chile seem to have given up.

They're knackered more like.

Don't ever recall seeing a team attacking the same end when extra time starts.

 

[SebastianBlue]

As well as he has been playing Sanchez has also been unnecessarily greedy toward the end of the match.

international football is drifting further behind top club teams

Too right. It's been an entertaining World Cup, but I haven't seen a single team that looked class. I first watched this Brazil team and thought, "well they won, but they're not good enough to win it." Then I watched Germany, and thought the same thing. Then Argentina. I reckon whoever wins it is gonna be the worst world champions for a while.

I think we are spoiled in the Prem league. The standard is way above International football and of course we watch the best team in that league :-)

Makes me laugh when the WC pundits say 'at this/the highest level blah blah blah'. Any real football fan knows this is far from the highest level. CL>PL>WC

CL>PL?

Pinilla and Jo, what great subs.

As well as he has been playing Sanchez has also been unnecessarily greedy toward the end of the match.

He's the only one that can keep hold of the ball now, twice in the last few minutes he's passed it to a teammate who's gave it away.

Has Scolari taken Ramires off?

 

[alanblue]

What has Ramires done since coming on for Ferny, has he even touched the ball yet

He's the only one that can keep hold of the ball now, twice in the last few minutes he's passed it to a teammate who's gave it away.

And I've counted five times that a better pass has been on and he has ignored it (and two of the fouls he won by holding on to the ball were not really fouls).

Willian will get the matchwinner.
