Yatagarasu Posted June 27, 2018 Author Posted June 27, 2018 It would not be a proper WC without Brazil Costarica played a really good game against Switzerland, good on them!
Yatagarasu Posted June 27, 2018 Author Posted June 27, 2018 One other thing is, I just really wish for Neymar to quit with the nonsense of diving and faking. It's really turning people against a really good team. I mean Spoiler

sallycinnamon Posted June 27, 2018 Posted June 27, 2018 I haven't seen the afternoon matches, but OMG I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the results. It was Germany's worst tournament because it never happened that they couldn't get through the group stages... I'm really sorry for them but Mexico and Sweden deserved to survive this group. And kudos to Korea as well, from what I've seen they fought very hard until the last minutes of the game. And the played well! Congrats to the selecao, yay I'm just a bit sad that Brazil plays against Mexico in the round of 16. I like both teams a lot...

And he is soo good >.< Diving is part of the game and everything but one would expect the "cracks" would be (a little) above that

It's Neymar, what do you expect. He does that ALL the time. I think refs should have more balls to give out yellow cards for diving. I used to hate him until I watched him, Ronaldo and Messi doing silly TV shows in Japan. Between these three, I must say he's the best party material. His interview answers are really good, and he's just so cool. If he didn't dive all the time I would have been his fan by now. Ronaldo just seems hyper competitive, while Neymar was soooo CHILLED. It's hilarious.
Forcefield Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I'm so frustrated about the Japanese lineup I don't even want to watch it anymore even though I took off work for this. Watch them get pounded by a revived Poland team.
