That was the best I've seen from Hulk playing for Brazil but even then he's so frustrating to watch. His decision making and technical ability is not of the required standard but at least he was direct and his goal should have stood imo. I thought Neymar tried to do too much on his own and as a result frequently lost the ball.

Brazil really need to improve if they wish to go further although I'm not sure this squad is quite good enough to go all the way.

Hulk is inconsistent but he did well today in general. I'm still peeved at the Chile goal which was his and Marcelo fault. I rather Scolari play him at false 9. We can't continue with useless Fred and Jo.

Fred or Joe are two peas in a pod. Brazil essentially play with 10 men with either of these two.

He didn't help the transition. Brazil had no mf for that, again. Chile owned the midfield. If Vidal was fit, they would've win the game, imo.

The transition was always going to be a problem cause I don't think he is that type of player. Only Hernanes is technical enough to play that role but you can't play him in a pivot with the fullbacks we have. For it to work I think Fernandinho, Gustavo and Hernanes have to all play.

At this point, I don't' know what Scolari can do to change things. Gustavo is suspend that a huge blow. We can probably add Hernanes, play a false 9, play Oscar central and not wide but I'm almost positive Scolari won't do this. I thought we grow as the competition went on but it's nothing consistent. The pressure seems to be too much for us to handle. Players crying even before a PK was even taken says it all.

No way F this shit if he gets it overturned FIFA might as well hand the WC to Brazil as it would make it clear that they want Brazil to win

If the ban is overturned, I welcome this news. Somebody has to stop the mighty Germans. Some of their fans have become so arrogant, thinking they've got the trophy already in their bag (with Neymar, Di Maria, De Jong out of their way) that I want them brought back to the earth.

Come on BRASIL!

:lol: why on earth would they overturn it? It was the most obvious yellow card.

Scolari had the nerve to say live, to a brazilian tv yesterday, that he never heard of the rule that got Silva his yc. Than he said that the moment the gk threw the ball in the air, it was in play, and the gk wouldn't need to kick it.

I felt embarassed for him.

For my own clarification, what exactly is the rule? When is the ball in play? Some keepers drop the ball on the ground and that has led to countless embarrassing goals in the past.

It was a deserved yellow IMO. Don't know why we appealing. I think Dante is good replacement and we have Gustavo back.

Fred, Oscar and Hulk have to step up though. Hulk play has actually improve to be far, his decision making is just terrible.

Willian, Hernanes or Bernard are not Neymar but good players that can cause problems for the German defense.

When a ball is dropped, is in play then. But not in that case:

The goalkeeper is considered to be in possession of the ball:

while the ball is between his hands or between his hand and any surface (e.g., ground, own body) or while holding the ball in his outstretched open hand

while in the act of bouncing it on the ground or tossing it into the air

When a goalkeeper has gained possession of the ball with his hands, it cannot be challenged by an opponent.
