No reason to. If i was to be a conspiracy nut i'd be complaining about how easy Argentina got it. Easy group, easy path all the way to the semi-finals. Brazil, instead, will have to beat 3 top teams if they want to reach the finals.

brazils group is as easy/hard as argentinas, with brazil benefiting from dubious calls. But this really has nothing to do with conspiracy, but rather facts, and the fact is for unexplainable reasons brazil is given a clear advantage in knowing who theyd play next even if they started their games before the opposition

I think Iran would have something to say about dubious calls.

What you're posting is pointless. Brazil will win today no matter the final result here. So in a way, they know who they're playing just as much as do. Whoever finishes 2nd will get Brazil.

i said group

croatia is more or less the same as bosnia
mexico and nigeria same
iran has shown more than cameroon

 

[Dostoevsky]

I'd say Mexico is better than Nigeria.

No, Mexico is much better. Iran has shown more because Cameroon has internal problems.

And i said Argentina had an easy path from group stage all the way to the semi-final. If this was Brazil everybody would be saying how we were favored. Brazil has to beat 2 of the possible best 4 teams in the competition to go on... So please, this conspiracy is just meh...

once again you are the only mentioning conspiracy, i posted above a link above with van gaal saying the same thing, it is simply an unfair advantage.

How's that? Whoever finishes 2nd in group B will play Brazil because they will beat a weak Cameroon. There will be no surprises here. Meh, this is just the usual bullshit the managers like to talk. Sampaoli was complaining about the pitch using it as an excuse in case they lost, it's an old trick... While Van Gaal said there was nothing wrong with it.

Even IF it was all true, FIFA trying to avoid Spain vs Brazil and Spain had qualified. Brazil still had to beat either Chile or Netherlands then Colombia/Uruguay or Italy. While Argentina is playing the likes of Switzerland and Portugal/USA. Really?

Is Van Gaal happy now? They just avoided Brazil.

TBH I did not expect Holland to do this good this WC. I did not forget how they reached finals but I had my (huge) doubts when I saw their squad and list of called up players. So many 'unknown' players and from their league. I thought this tournament would be like rejuvenating their squad and an experiment. However I gotta say they are pretty impressive, eventhough their defense was fragile against Aussies. Still, pretty dominating group stages I don't find them irritating so I wouldn't mind seeing them go far.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Lol. Chile won't beat Brazil in the second round. That ends their World Cup.

Netherlands are building a head of steam. Robben is just sensational.
