Let's all laugh at Brazil

People who watch football for football's sake.
Why we hate Brazil?
Casemeiro, Antony, Fred are our lads!

My thoughts exactly
Nah, feck that. Negative football should not be allowed to win every time. Some people only watch the sport for schadenfreude, apparently
Yeah. They're not playing anti-football, and they only have one diva in the squad. We have 3 players in their squad. WHy are we laughing at them again?
Does it work like that?
I named the only chances that were in any way memorable. So the only ones I’d consider good chances (that they totally ballsed up by being pretty crap).
Croatia play absolutely fine football. You’re talking like they’re Spain
Ghana? You mean France
This wasn't catenaccio at all. Croatia's offense just isn't as good as their defence and midfield so they struggle creating chances.
If the badge on the shirt isn’t Uniteds then I couldn’t care less as long as they don’t get injured, to be honest.
That the cherry on top
Yep, seems that way.
Croatia played 613 passes (Brazil 610) and had 50% possession. This wasn't the bus parking job people pretend it to be
Whatever the hell it was, this is a dumb thread. I watch football to be entertained and Croatia are not all that.
Fair play to them but such threads should be reserved for the dippers and Citeh
Green smiley count in this thread: 5
safe to say Brazil is not really someone most would like to go out. The England thread will be more juicy

These are fan favorites for the most part so I'd think so. I wasn't aware we had some Brazil disdain on here. I don't care for Brazil but they seem insulated from United for the most part.
Too much samba
Conga to the airport?
Yup.
I liked the 7-1 because they were overhyped, refs were giving them a lot, the whole "we'll win at home" thing was a bit nauseating, their football wasn't great, and they played quite dirty.
They were fun to watch this time, Croatia aren't. Would have loved a Argentina-Brazil match rather than yet another grind to penalties.
Spain play the most painful football of any side in the world. They’re the opposite of entertainment. A pizza burn on the roof of the worlds mouth. The opposite of Batman.
Croatia are a solid team who have deficiencies up front so need to keep a game within 1 goal so they maintain a chance, a perfectly good tactic and creates very interesting games.
Are you one od those xG nuts?
Poor Neymar.
Less dancy dancy, more goaly goaly 
Their Quarter Final Anthem
I was thinking more Fallout Boy, Dance Dance, they’re falling apart at half time (in extra time)
Because too many underdog “shocks” invariably lead to shit later stage games when the tournament is supposed to be reaching its defining stages.*
I completely get people enjoying the humbling narrative of it all, but I also get people wanting to see Brazil and Argentina face up in a World Cup semi, rather than a side who aren’t fun to watch and have gotten there by winning one solitary game against Canada.
Both opinions are fine.
(*It’s like that year everyone got knocked out of the FA Cup and we had a Portsmouth Cardiff final… Amazing for those teams, hugely spiriting for the notion of romance… fecking appalling to watch.)
No. I'm one of those who watch the football match. Are you?
I also enjoy football yes.
Yeah. It's occasionally appropriate but rarely. I felt the same at the laugh at Spain one. They gave given us so much in the last decade and a half.
Great, enjoy watching another Croatia grind to penalties then.
Mentioned earlier that coaching in South America sucks, and got laughed at it.
Until Brazil and Argentina hire European coaches (or the coaching there improves), the World Cup will remain in Europe.

A certain Norwegian is available and looking for work.
And I am glad he is coming home early !
I‘m in Brazil at the moment. Buzios to be exact. Rio last week.
You should all be her and enjoy the hospitality and the passion. I had my replica (uzul/blue) on today and I got cheers, hugs, high fives from old, young, women and men wherever I go. Everyone was welcoming an old gringo and I was immediately integrated and accepted.
Football is joy, dancing and having fun among these people.
We eat and drink and after the game some of us cry together. I did. Not a bad word against the ref, Croatia or any individual player. People her are genuinely sad after the loss but we move on together. In a region with poverty and many struggle just to survive then football is an escape in a hard world. I’m privileged but with Brazilian daughters and grandchildren (my wife’s) I‘m aware of the reality for many people living her so I can relate a little bit.
Casemiro is probably mostly older men and women’s favorite, the younger one likes Neymar and Antony. Now many of them know United and follow us. It’s a joy to be a United supporter atm. Like I said. You should all be her. Amazing atmosphere.
