@ 7-1 !!!

[Babak agha]

Not suggesting that it was fixed, but if you want to fix a match you don't fix it at a 1-0 or a 2-1 3-1, you fix it at something ridiculous like 7-1 where the odds on a bet is unbelievable. Can you imagine what someone has won if he picked those odds!??
A lesson for Brazil federation, never again appoint a former Uzbek club manager as your national team manager, the guy may have been someone at some point but he is finished as a coach.

These are all superstars earning millions and millions of dollars at their clubs.. In other to bribe them and make them lose in such a manner, on their own soil, in such conditions... You have to hand them 100 million euro's each!!
No imaging how big a bet would be to make that bribe profitable..

Also wrong forum

It should have been another 8-0!! Oezzil missed it by a couple of inches.

Actually it was better this way, so that we don't confuse the samba boys with soosmarkhors.

Also the last goal that Brazil scored was good for Germany to keep them alert for the final match.

This post is about Football - not Iranian football.

Thanx for the nice replies........
Let me discuss a different angle. Do you remebre the first time you played football? You were probably 5 and the first ball you played with was maybe 10 centimeters wide.......that is how kids develop foot-skills in Iran and in South America.,.....and many other places where there are not enough grass fields and standard footballs for kids that young. The good news for the poorer kids however is the footskills.......which to me is the most necessary ingredient of all. Given that - Germany, Holland, UK,.....will never be dominant football as a Brazil, Argentina,.......which have complemented footskills with physical fitness, tactics.......

germany has been the most dominant and consistent football country in the world, challenged only by brazil and some may argue italy as well.
wat has argentina done exactly?

plus, south americans are known to be undisciplined and tactictally poor.. infact these 2 things are the reason behind germany and other north european teams success.
physique wise also, south americans (except brazil) are no match for north european teams which u named such as germany, holland and UK.

wat used to keep south american teams competitive was their individual skills and football instinct but nothing else. but football is continuously changing and other teams are catching up while brazil and argentina are still relying on individual skills (pretty much like iran in asia), and now u can see brazil in trouble because they dont have any talented individuals coming up their ranks or rather, talented enough who can be a game changer except neymar. same for argentina. same for iran.
