Hopefully Messi and Co can get this win. Don't want to have to watch Depay play any further. Though I believe Dutch would be easier opponent for Croatia. ARG not as careless as BRA. Plus they don't have Danilo and Sandro on each side in the back.
Damn, never expected that. Bunch of heros our guys, even Petkovic who usually sucks to a point that local fan threw prosthetic leg at him, to play better. Celebration time now for a country shy of 4 million that for the 2nd time in a row has a chance to win medal.
I say Argentina go home tonight, Dutch are far more organised. Argentina wing it a lot, they have the same problem of individuals unable to play as a team.
Yes, our goalie pulled few good saves but Brazil creating chances was expected. I expected more. Their team has a lot of flair and fancy unlike ours who is slow possession based side. But we played our game until the end and never fell apart, which proved to be enough tonight. We are always an underdog but cant be underestimated. During the years we have beaten some great sides, like Argentina 3-0 the last WC. We lack that killer in attack, Mario was perfect for us. We take 1 game at a time and lets see where we end up.

No big deal I’ll get over it. Better to lose to a team I respect than to go through and then get crushed by Argentina. I’m 100% positive I would give up on football after that.
No I seriously agree. The only downside is he can't speak Portuguese and he's as Italian as it gets.
But it's clear that Brazil needs to be more pragmatic and calm in possession than trying to play like a frantic samba team with no direction or purpose.
Time to start an Allegri4Brazil movement. Might end up being a rumor tomorrow on Tuttosport.
