Merts, Ozil and Poldi to save football. :pray:
Would love Ozil to smash in the winner in this and shut those cunts in the studio up.
Semi finals line up is tasty. Proper contest of athlete ball, this. Ozil's going to get battered. If the ref is lenient we might get a decent game.
Germany start at about 3-0 down now, what with the added national/FIFA trauma of Neymar being dead and Thiago Silva being suspended.
The silky midfield of Gustavo, Fernandinho, Paulinho and Ramires will be allowed to hack, scythe, barge, punch, stab and pinch at will.
Considering their only threat is from set pieces, it would make sense for Mertesacker to start and just nonchalantly clear everything that comes into the box as he usually does. They should maybe bring Gotze back into the team and just wear Brazil down by keeping the ball. Should be about 92% possession for Germany.
Easy win for Germany if no corruption is involved.
Brazil on pels otherwise.
If either Brazil or Holland win then.... :ilt:
Germany/Argentina it is
^^This^^
Germany :scarf:
Germany to save football tonight. Hopefully.
Come on Germany.. make it rain!
Brazil line-up: Julio Cesar, David Luiz (c), Fernandinho, Marcelo, Hulk, Fred, Oscar, Dante, Referee, Luiz Gustavo, Bernard, Maicon.
And the Germany line-up:Quote:

Maicon. :lol:
Little surprised Bernard's in the team. Not that he's not a good player but goes against the athlete ball philosophy.
Maicon :lol:
Remember when he was good?
And poor Mertesacker. :( Seems like it's more of a permanent tactical change than just the flu. Though given how well the Germans kept out France you can't blame Low for not tinkering with the lineup.
On paper Germany should stroll this. By far the superior team in every position bar Ozil. But I have a feeling Phil's pub team might stumble through by some bizarre and improbable means, especially if they are given a free hand to foul their way through the match again as they did against Colombia. Shame that super hyped Neymar isn't playing, because as ridiculous as it is, he'll be their excuse should they lose. In truth, they are an awful team and an insult to the Brazilian football tradition and if there's any justice they are going out tonight.
Could be a good decision could be a bad one, i think Brazil pose a lot more danger from set pieces than France and Mertesacker is the set piece king, but i suppose when you are worried about a side's pace you have to take that into considerationQuote:

Time to tie the proverbial lolly stick round it and curb the wankfest
Drink whenever the commentator mentions Ozil not performing well.Quote:

Neymar just isn't that good (yet). In and out of the Barcelona team. They know.
Hell, I would look a better player if I had motherfucking Hulk and Fred ahead of me.
Ronaldo looks like 'Future Lister' in 'Stasis Leak'. Stretched. Very very stretched
Vickery :bow:
Make sure he is on the plane back with you on Sunday night!! :pray:
It's like Neymar has died or something.
The scene of fans camped outside the hospital on Friday was ludicrous....Quote:

German national anthem. :bow:
Brazil national anthem. :bow:
HE'S NOT FUCKING DEAD!!!!!
Jesus their holding up a Neymar shirt!
He really isn't dead!
Fred has a touch of the James Dean Bradfield's about him. I'd wager the latter wouldn't get caught offside so often though....
Germany not playing their best defender :doh:
And down to 10 because Ozil is stealing a living.
Linesman sets his stall out.
