What more can I say about last night that has not been said. Really there is little point trying to convey my feelings on what was a staggering event and surely the most shocking sporting result in the history of sport? well certainly in my lifetime and probably in most others.and while I did predict the Germans to qualify yesterday (albeit via extra time), noone could have anticipated such a desperately sad mauling of a once great nation.
Marcelo was an absolute disgrace and played like some kind of drunken pub player on a Sunday morning while David Luiz showed that screaming your head off during the national anthem is not a gauge of passion and courage. Why did he stop fucking moving for every attack? why did he and Marcelo continue to charge forward when 5.0 down like arrogant idiots totally oblivious to the carnage their play was causing? To a man the Brazilians froze more than i've ever seen any team do in that manner, but the performance of those 2 in particular was beyond belief and while you had to feel sorry for Luiz and also Fred who may never be able to walk the streets of his home country again, it was a performance so stunningly bad that it was barely comprehensible as to what we were watching and I actually felt genuinely saddened and angry to witness the death of the greatest footballing nation whom a whole country had placed it's faith in. To see the hosts lose is one thing, but the manner of their defeat was the most shocking, disturbing thing about the result and it really does signal a true changing of the guard. The Brazilian mystique is gone and until they go back to what they used to be good at, it will remain this way. Anyways, I said I would not go on about tit and so we moved forward to tonight's semi final between Holland and Argentina which will surely be a lot tighter. Surely? Schurrle? Not much to say, except I hope we see a competitive and exciting tie and not the Titantic sinking like we did last night. I fancy a tight, low scoring draw and really I cannot say who will make the final. Bo's Best Bet NO BET (only joking) Argentina v Holland Draw 11/5. Comments are closed.
