His wife's family live in Spain so he has been angling for a move for a year or so now. It was bound to happen.

Now with 75mil they can buy a defender.

Surely the 4th official can say it was 1m outside of the box. Both decisions incorrect. Should have been a free kick and a red card.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Netherlands can't score a goal for over 4 hours, in steps Brazil and they have one in 2 minutes.

2 in 20 minutes.

Very hospitable hosts.

Google's has some good doodles for the WC but this one has been by far the best:

Fouls that begin outside the box but end inside the box = penalty kick. It's close-ish in this case but either way fuck them

No, it's first/initial contact which was outside the box. Definitely not a penalty.

And David Luiz is the worst defender I've ever seen. PSG just paid 45mil for that?

This is not the case here as Silva releases him before the box but generally speaking in a case of holding it's not the first contact that matters:

If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding him inside the penalty area, the referee must award a penalty kick.

Oh, I stand corrected. I disagree with the written rule but fair enough. I wonder when that rule was changed/updated as I swear it was initial contact.

Brazil are badly in need of a striker. They are creating chances.

All the calls unfavorable to Brazil that have not been made during the whole tournament are being made in this game. For balance.

all right...final.

What a gift. What a miss.

I had no horse in the race, but Schweinsteiger singlehandedly sucked the air out of the finish. Get the fuck up.

For real, ugh. Too many missed opportunities. Germany is a great, deserving winner though, they have been tremendous the past decade, if it weren't for Spain they would have ruled the world.

Absolutely. Full credit to the best team of the tournament. I'm glad it was decided by a great goal too, and not a mistake.

Argentina played well and had their chances.
