World Cup 2014 Brasil

Not quite the same, this means much more to Brazilians than Sol Campbells header, the concequences of Brasil going out like this if it happened would be huge, the country will loose control, this is much more than a football tournament for the people of Brasil

So far he has denied us a clear penalty in the first half and disallowed a good goal... like I said at the start he always tries to be some kind of super ref and make games all about him..

A good referee isn't spoken about, in howard webb games he is all that is spoken about..

I enjoy watching war movies

^^ is that supposed to be funny? Grow up

I think football to Brazilians is a bit like Cricket for the populations of India and Pakistan.
It means so much and there is huge passion for the sports in question.
But bearing in mind the protest and unrest in Brazil over quite a long time span over the expense of the World Cup and its human implications a loss in the tournament would heighten emotions substantially.

If it goes wrong it will be Brazil's own fault for the awful defending from their own throw in that led to the Chile goal

Was it our fault Webb denied a clear penalty and a Goal?

Sure you're not being a tad biased there ? Would you be saying it was a 'clear penalty' if it was, say.....Germany ?

Was anything but clear. A 50-50 at best.

seeing as 3 or 4 top football pundits have said it should have been a clear penalty including 3 ex defenders..... he tangled his legs from behind before he even touched the ball
