Group E Thread - Costa Rica, Serbia, Switzerland, Brazil

[sarbaz]

This is the toughest World Cup I have ever witnessed

Expect for the trash Saudis , there are no weak teams .

Every team is capable of beating the top 10 fifa teams in the world.

Great job Costa Rica, held for 91 minuets.

Good game!

[Dortmund]

Costa Rica kind of reminded me of our performance against Argentina.

[NFL]

Can’t wait for cry baby Neymar and his team to be eleminated.

The VAR is awesome. I hope it will be used in the next Asian Cup too.

Neymar is a poster boy for being a spoiled brat. Karma will catch up to him one day.

What bogus referring. There was 6 min injury time added which was way too generous, but then the ref did not blow the whistle at the 6 min mark. He let the game continue a full min more until Brazil scored the 2nd. As if Fifa purposely wants Brazil attain a better goal difference for the 3rd game.

Refs dont have to follow the extra time recommendation ! they can actually whistle earlier or even later!
The extra added time is a recommendation and indication only!

Yes, isn't it ironic this works usually in the favor of the big teams.

true, true...

But honestly in that game, I didn’t see any unfairness, for example ref didn’t give the penalty to Neymar. If he really wanted them to win, he would have.
But you are right “bigger” teams get more favors at times...

Looks like Russia is trying to get rid of strong teams so they can win the cup. Costa rica should've received few yellow cards and possibly red card.

Brazil deserved more cards for diving and disrespecting the ref. They were shameful.

Don’t you guys sometimes wish that I was in charge of FIFA disciplinary committee?

[sarbaz]

The Costa Rican time waisting tactics reminded me of Bahrain and Qatar.

The 8 mins of extra time was clearly correct

Thats because ref gave all 50-50% chances to costa rica and also neymar got fouled everytime he got the ball ! He was frustrated ! Also They already got cards for that ! 2 stupid yellow cards for them !

How on earth both team have the same amount of fouls (11 fouls for each ) team , When Brazil had the ball and was taken down every time they proceed to serious attack.

Im not sure we were watching the same game! Funny part is that Brazil got 2 yellow cards while costa got 1 yellow ! Did you even see neymars stockings ? It was literary ripped apart, marks was left from costa rican players boots
