That Brazilian guy Silva in the studio is sooo painful to listen to. Can they please use subtitles when he speaks.
This ref has been pretty poor. He's had no control over the game and letting the players dictate all the pace. Bad challenges and bad fouls, none of them listen to the ref. That scuffle on James should have been slowed down. The ref should have called the ball back even though James took it quickly. On the other foul outside Brazil's box, the players ignored the aerosol lines and two Brazil players even charged the ball before it was kicked. Clear yellow there. A lot of tugging and grabbing on jerseys to pull people down. That challenge on Hulk was deserving of a yellow. It was an extremely dangerous tackle. Just poor officiating by this ref.
Ref is going to make up for the calls in 2nd half. Liking Maison swap for Alvez. Paulinho has shined and multiple times beat the Cafeteros
There really hasnt been any truely dominant teams in my opinion. I would argue that maybe France was the most dominant in the group stages, but Germany obviously got the better of them today. I still think Germany is the favorite here, but no team has shown true dominance in my eyes
As great as Thiago Silva is, that was beyond stupid. Now he misses a pivotal match if Brasil wins this one. SMH..
