Lets not be sore losers.
When amateurs from Costa Rica outrun Italy, something's happening. It's hard to find a European team that isn't walking on the pitch after the 70th minute. That's probably the weather. But there is more to it and some day we'll learn why is some Carlito running twice more than the best prepared players from the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga or Serie A.

That is hilarious. :lol:

I'm throwing the doping card in the face of the South and North American teams. It's hard to believe that they are so superior physically to their European counterparts. It's just a matter of time until one of those spicks fails the doping test.
Here we go...

:lol:

And excuse me, but the terminology is *spics*

I would blame long and exausting season in Europe, while SA teams have just started with theirs, then there is weather, unfavorable for us. Uefa needs to reduce the number of games played here, as this isnt the first time major contenders underachieved.

They should simply stop giving world cups to countries that don't offer perfect conditions for football. Tonight's 85% humidity wasn't human. That results with working horses like Modric and Rakitic unable to run and with no power to pass the ball in the 2nd half. It's even worse than playing on the ice in Istanbul, because there both teams aren't allowed to give their best. Here, some teams are clearly favored by the weather conditions, while the others are struggling for air.
It's gonna be much more funnier in Qatar. Expect casualties on the pitches.

100% agree on that, but we all know their motives and this wont change, unfortunately. Judge needed to pressure Fifa to give players little break after 30 minutes, otherwise not even that small, but entirely reasonable request considering unbearable conditions, would have been given.

Scolari after the match

“Many thought Chile wouldn’t qualify but it didn’t go like that," Scolari said after tonight's victory against Cameroon. "They have a lot of qualities, I would have preferred to play against someone else.

It’s more difficult to play another South American team. Chile have quality and organisation.”

Scolari was also asked whether his team are too reliant on Neymar.

“Argentina depend on Messi. It happens with the big teams, what I like is that Neymar is involved a lot.”

Can you please stop looking for excuses?

It's hot for both teams, most south american players are playing in Europe for years and years, don't you think they also feel the impact?

If you dont want my wall of biochemical text about why what you say is plain wrong, then dont say this shit.

Football should be played between 20-26 degrees, with humidity under 50% , or 14-20 degrees with whatever humidity or rain.

Like that there are no differences

You might have a point. After all, some Ruiz could very well be a better player than Ronaldo, Pirlo, Iniesta and Rooney, and that's why he's playing better than them in Brazil. It's the big teams who are crazy enough not to buy him, and stupid enough to pay the above mentioned players such high salaries. It has nothing to do with the weather conditions. They are the same for everyone.
