Why Brazil why?

Indeed - I'd suspect Brazil being bribed to throw the match, but Corrupt World Cup is scheduled for 2022 so it can't be that.

They made it look a bit obvious if they did! :)

Are you accusing Michelle of being a spammer? :laugh:

Probably. If you don't have BACON, then a SPAM would do. ;)

It was the most embarrassing semi since watching The Crying Game
You can be glad England didn't make it to the semis.

They way I heard it was their two best players were out, but I assume these to be strikers, which begs the question, why was the defence so crap? Shame it wasn't 10-0, that would have been laughable. Anyway, a Dutch/German final?

They missed their two stars indeed, but it's not an excuse for a 7:1 throw. Neymar as offensive Player to coordinate and Silva missing in defense is critical but even with those 2 i predict a win for Germany 2: 0 or 3: 0

Not really. Generally, small deceits are believed less readily than big deceits. A 2-0 result would have been more under suspicion than a 7-1 result.

It's no surprise that Brazil lost last night. There was all but no attack, the midfield failed completely to retain the ball and David Luiz's defence was on a par with Rolf Harris.
What, he stopped halfway through to sing "Jake the Peg" and mimic the wobble board?

Two things: 1) We have BACON. It and Coffee are the two essentials of life. 2) SPAM is not now, and never has been, a BACON substitute. In the same way that pigs trotters are not a Beef Wellington substitute.

Yes. Now, do you want the Blue pill, or the Red pill?

The German one is whatever they put in the Lemsip to recover from that flu they apparently had :)

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Watching the news I saw many people crying, really? it's a friggin kids game, get over it. What do they do when something truly bad happens?

You might need some international culture courses.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.
If this topic ("why we whine like blubbering fools when our team loses") is in the curriculum of an international cultures class, I'd rather have a throat culture than take that class.
