It still doesnt change the fact that brazils progression in this tournament is tainted by mistakes and bad desicions by the referees.
Really ok. Ghana was all over them in the second half. If the had some sense they would have won that game. But we will see. Each of these teams have weaknesses german is that back 4. Yes the walked around the USA but only scored from decent strike. Sorry they are very beatable the Dutch have a powerful strike force but I wouldn't be afraid of there mid field a aging player is the best midfielder. Also there defense is suspect as well. Probably we will get a brasil vs a euro team in the final but it wouldn't shock me at all if neither happens. This is a cup competition remember Liverpool, Chelsea, sometime the best team dosent win.
But the hand was not involved at all. Hulk brought the ball down by his shoulder blade.
Yeah, Chile is better than Colombia.
Colombia seems very clinical upfront though, so there's hope.
The amount of Brazil hate here is laughable.
ok, let's keep it that way
Chile can play great against Spain and Germany and its their merit
when they play good against us we are dire, trash, Brazil sucks
Football isn't easy.. If it was, England would get out of group stage

they looked worse than us against Chile
people were putting Chile as favorites
now that we knock them off, we suck? Weren't they favorites?
The moaning about decisions is a bit much. If they were going to be given a decision the Hulk goal was the time to do it. They've been lucky but so what? It happens.
I actually don't mind the hate cause some players we have aren't really likable. I understand that but if you hate us because of a myth aka Jogo bonito then I question if you watch Brazil soccer in the last 30 years.
I was backing Brazil, partly because I want it for their people, also because I'm doing a work placement in Rio in half a year 
It's not totally disappeared, still a few rumblings but everything's under control..my post was just pure hyperbole
I'm not a Brazil fan at all but I have to agree with this. In extra time it was obvious Chile were more interested in it going to penalties.
As a Brasil fan, i'm a bit embarrassed with that performance. Chile were the better team but I don't know if I can say they 'deserved' to go threw. They could have won that game in 90 minutes and again in extra time. But as time went on, they became bigger cowards, started playing defensive football and began to slow down the game. I think their historic shortcomings against A Seleção began to creep into their psyche. All in all it wasn't a performance I was proud of, but off to the final 8.
That said, changes need to be made by Scolari.

I don't think so. Chile have never beaten Brazil on Brazilian soil. Brazil were by far the favourites as far as I know.
It was a close game that either team could have won. I really enjoyed the match.
Nothing is as embarrassing as Moyes!
The Brazilians have actually achieved something hard!...
I'm not really embarrass by the performance. While Chile control the midfield, I didn't feel they threaten us much. We had the better chances overall. Our two problems right now which has been a persistent problem for 2 years is we can't transition from defense to attack and we have useless players that need to be dropped.
Don't know why you're having a dig at England. If England had Brazil's group, they'd have also made it out of the group.
Not sure if you could call the chilean cowards after a match like that... We were playing to keep ball posession, and both sides had a few clear chances, but luck was on the yellow side today, and that was the only thing that got you thru... Luck
Yeah 86. How do Brazilians feel about the national team not playing like...well...Brazil? I suspect a lot of it is down to Brazilians playing in Europe, but that wouldn't explain Brazil 90. Anyway, there's no excuse for the likes of Jo, Fred and Hulk playing in the Yellow Shirt.
Yeah getting a goal from throw-in blunder isnt luck
Actually no. Is taking advantage of your foward (hulk) great and awesome first touch blunder
No they wouldn't. England are shit. Look at our form over the last 10 matches.
The tournament wont miss Chile, but it would have been a huge gap if Brazil had gone out. Its also for the global economy that Brazil won. I don't support Brazil but for these reasons I hope they can stay in til at least the semi finals.
However, kits now clearly evident that without Neymar this is a very average team. The forwards like Fred, Jo & Hulk are pathetic and there are no midfield pass masters like yesteryear.
There days are seriously numbered and if they cross the likes of Germany, Holland or even Argentina, I think they will get embarrassed.

This Brazil team isn't a great team. But they're strong mentally. Sometimes it's enough.
Oscar needs to be given less defensive duties. He's unable to make an impact because of his extra workload.

How has Brazil's performance been any different from Argentina who are just as reliant on one player?
I'm sure we would've beaten Croatia and Cameroon. Not so sure about Mexico though but I'd certainly be confident we'd have gone through.
Brazil are shit too. They're just less shit than England and a large part of that is down to the manager and the fact that Brazil have a in form Neymar.
Btw, it's too soon to draw any conclusions from Brazil so far. Spain didn't have a single convincing performance in 2010 either.
Give it a rest. They won the Confederations Cup last year. They clearly aren't shit.
And there's no evidence to so suggest we would have beaten Croatia.
There're cnuts in every team.. They don't have a lot of flair now, but so does most teams now. The game has become a tactical battle between coaches. Infact Chile wanted the game to go to penalty in last 30mins. Brazil are not sexy, same can be said about every other team now (including Holland/France which guys love here).
Yeah, okay mate. Brazil are amazing, England are shite.
Game had everything
Really enjoyable.
Good for the tournament Brazil go through.

I don't think Chile are better than Colombia at all.
Well thank God you are not lol.
Not sure scoring through an own goal from a corner is any better.
It was an open game and could've gone either way. Both teams had their strong periods. While Brazil had the clearer chances I wouldn't say they played better. Chile could've also definitely nicked it with Pinilla's shot at the very end.
This game showed how good vidal and sanchez are.
Well Germany hasnt impressed me, that's true. Germany has France in the quarters if they both go through and winner goes vs Brasil. Argentina could meet Netherlands in the other semifinal. 2 tasty finals could come true, Netherlands vs Germany and Brasil vs Argentina.
Love the passion.
