Exactly. They had such great chances, on both ends, but just kept missing. As I said, we were cheering for Cameron first when they hit the post like two times in a row and still didn't score, then less than 2 minutes later Denmark were almost scoring and we were cheering for them too as if we wanted them to win. We were asking ourselves "wait, why are we cheering for Denmark when we were cheering for Cameron 5 seconds ago?" but it just happened automatically lol. Very different to all the games I've seen so far of the 'more promising' teams (Spain, Holland, Germany, France, Argentina, etc), most of them were quit boring...BobG said:I don't know about Denmark-Cameroon being the best played, but certainly was exciting - especially that stretch where both teams kept finding creative ways to avoid scoring.:rofl:

Kurdt said:Brazil were awful. The way they behaved trying to get fouls for nothing was pathetic. Fabiano rolling around all over the pitch for no reason was pathetic. I'm afraid they've lost all of my respect. Then when the Ivory Coast play them at their own game (and there wasa lot more contact than Brazil had) they start complaining. That is no way to advertise the game of football to the world.

Kurdt said:You obviously weren't paying attention then.

zomgwtf said:Maybe it was you not paying attention to the amount of times that Brazil was legit fouled but the players got back up and back into the game?
I like how the Ivorians display the worst sportsmanship out of the entire tournament, even out of the entire history of the world cup that I've seen and you're on here complaining about how Brazil played. I didn't see Brazil crying on the ground intentionally to get other players cards to get them kicked out. I didn't see Brazil targetting key players from Ivory Coast by tackling their legs extremely roughly.
I have a feeling you're just a HATER. Well KEEP ON HATIN.
EDIT: In fact CBC After the match that was a key point they brought up. How Brazilian players had GOTTEN UP after being fouled and receiving no call just to get back in the game immediately. I feel 100% sure they are more knowledgeable about soccer and have a better reputation to fall back upon than you do. So I won't bother looking for video of this cry-baby Brazilian team, I'll just take their word over yours.
Did you miss the dive just before that one (I think it was Fabiano) which earned Ivory Coast (Tioté, I think) a yellow card? During the last 10 minutes, it looked like a streetfight turned dive-athon out there (both teams participating, and Dunga not helping matters either).zomgwtf said:Really? I think that most of the fouls that Brazil stayed down for WERE fouls. That's what you're supposed to do in soccer when fouled stay down to draw the foul.
However when KAKA got his second yellow card THAT was ********. Completely.

But in any case, I wasn't implying that Brazil won because of acting - they were clearly the better team out there. Both teams also displayed some extremely sloppy moves during the first half (but at least those were football moves).
Kurdt said:Wow. You like Brazil then.
zomgwtf said:No, not really. I'm just saying it how it is, you're just a hater. Nothing more, nothing less.
As well I had wanted Ivory coast to win this game... if you go back and see my post from when I made my predictions you can read that for yourself.
