mse326 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Swiss coach should have told them Serbia is going to lose so just let them go. Who cares if Costa Rica win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with that being said, you can’t watch somebody play great for the club and expect them to replicate it for country. Dybala is a top class player and he can’t any playing time.

I don’t. I wanna see the big teams on biggest stage. Germany may not have been at their fluid best but they still play well enough to finish 2nd.

They were also very lucky against Sweden that the penalty claim early in the first half didn’t go to VAR. Brazil look to be hitting their stride, the light still needs to go on for France and there’s a few of the “better” nations playig well. The knockout stages will still be awesome, but it’ll just comprise of teams who have largely earned it in the last two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it's true that club football doesn't always translate to international football he underperformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Worse loss? 2018 Germany losing to a Korea team with nothing to play for to get knocked out in the group stage or 2014 Brazil losing 7-1 on their home turf to (eventual champions) Germany.

The Brazil loss is super embarrassing, but at least they lost to the eventual champions, maybe? I don’t know, that’s a damn tough one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two surprise semi finalists, but I don’t ever remember thinking they had a realistic chance v Brazil or Germany. I can’t even pick a winner. None of the favourites are playing well. You could make a case for Croatia, England and even Belgium given the way they’re playing. I certainly don't feel great about Spain beating Croatia. At all (though maybe I shouldn't be so sure we'll even beat Russia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil. It was in Brazil. They were so hyped going into it after some good performances, especially being a strong Colombia. Germany have been awful so far, so it wasn't a complete surprise.

That happened at 0-0, so had they converted that they would’ve done exactly what they actually did when they went 1-0 up, and sit back. They had no business losing today’s game with the chances they had in the second half. And against Sweden they created more as the game wore on. The Mexico game they were poor.

We could quite easily get a Spain vs Brazil final, which if you take out of context looks like business as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
