Hopefully now people will see this Brazil side for what they are... mediocre.
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.

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.

#BRA appeal Thiago Silva's yellow card v #COL and bid to have his ban overturned for their semi-final clash v #GER http://dailym.ai/TLX2Qn
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!
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.
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.
