We are 100 days out of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
I'm pretty excited. Even though USA is in a group of death if we can make it out we have a good shot of going beyond the first round of elimination. We've got a strong team and a good chance of doing better than any other cup.
division.bellI'm holding out for 11-0 or something at this pace.
It's going to slow down for sure, but I can definitely see Brazil not scoring a single goal. Germany was going to win regardless, but I feel so sorry for the Brazilians right now.
I expected Germany to put the game away pretty early, but not this early. Makes you wonder what would have happened had Thiago Silva played.
Honestly, let's congratulate Brazil for getting this far. Sure they had an easy draw and not the hardest group, but still, they showed heart as a team to make it all the way to the semi-final with only two players offensively who can consistently score/create goals. Exceeded expectations, in my opinion. It was always ridiculous to expect them to actually win this tournament, considering the team they have.
After the initial breakaways by Germany weren't converted I thought Brasil got lucky and would at least semi learn their lesson to get back and play D, but that sure didn't happen. The front 4 don't even consider helping defend ever and usually 3 of the 6 who sometimes defend are forward. Also even when they are all back it looks like they have multiple people marking the same man and some guys just marking useless space. Ridiculous to see professionals play this poorly.
Chewy.I can't watch the game. Is Germany playing amazing or is Brazil just not doing anything? Or a little of both?
a little of both. mostly brazil being bad. germany hasnt seemed that crazy dominant. but theyre winnint 5-0 so theyre definitely doing something right.

Little of both. Awful defending from Brazil, but Germany is taking advantage and doing a good job pressuring high up the field and forcing Brazil into mistakes.
