How come everyone forgot the 0-3 immediately after 1-7?

>>149653223 (OP)
brazil without USAIDS is india-tier

>>149653223 (OP)
I didn't forget

1-10 on two games

they end up finishing their WC with a negative goal difference

>>149653223 (OP)
How did he get into professional?

>>149653223 (OP)
It was the third-place match. I like having these just for the sake of having a bronze winner, so to say, but they aren't exactly tense games. Also, I don't think anyone was surprised that Brazil were in shambles after the semifinal
And 0:3, while embarrassing, still is a somewhat acceptable result normally. Not under these circumstances of course, but then it is clearly overshadowed by the game before

>>149653223 (OP)
Imagine paying to watchthis after 71

>>149654744
Tickets were bought before the match was even announced. It's not an unusual thing to do in World Cups.

played in the wrong position.
that wouldn't be so bad for one out of 10 outfield players, but Marcel was also trained to play out of position. so you had two defenders who were never back where they should be.

>>149654564
i didn't know there was a third place match lol

Then sit back and watch this kino.

will never forgive korea for ruining that world cup with their rigging
extremely dishonest nation

>>149655390
idk looking back I find it hilarious how far they went with blatant cheating. I'd probably be mad if it was some other country that's better at football, but Korea rigging their way to a World Cup semi-final just cracks me up.

China and Japan didn't shy away from shameless rigging in 2008 and 2020(21). It's probably an East Asian thing.

These are often some of the most entertaining games of the entire tournament since both teams are freed from 99% of the pressure, but want to give their fans a (somewhat) happy ending. While most World Cup finals are dominated by defensive approaches and the fear of making mistakes (2018 and 2022 are rather stark exceptions), the bronze medal games are usually „fuck it“ mode
Their actual sportive value is relatively low, it’s not that uncommon for teams to field players with relatively little playtime. But that doesn’t mean everyone is dawdling around

He had great technical skills, and I've never seen another defender being such a good passer of the ball, but his defending was woeful. I can't fathom why wasn't played more as a DM. He was very good in Conte's system with two CB's to cover for him, but as one of two defenders he was painfully bad.

That's how Germans speak, dude

>>149653223 (OP)
Nobody cares about 3rd place.

>>149659187
Yes they do. Second place is first (and greatest) loser while third is just happy to there.

>>149653890
Why didn't they just make him a defensive midfielder? His two biggest weaknesses are bad concentration and bad positioning. Technically and physically he was way above average

>>149656985

the initial buck breaking made them numb on the second go around.

is he white?

>>149666318
Yep.

>>149653890
what did he do to deserve the silver ball in the 2012 CWC? how come Paolo Guerrero scored the winning goal in the final and he only got the bronze ball?

>>149653223 (OP)
Had It not been for Julius the match could have been another 1-7, unironically

>>149653890
Because of his nationality.

>>149666318
His kinky hair indicates African admixture, so not really.

>>149653890
I actually think he's a massively over-hated player who was misunderstood by several of his managers. He should have never been played as a CB in a 2 CB system - he simply didn't have the attributes for it. As a playmaker in a 3 CB system? Fantastic. As a deep-lying midfielder in front of 2 CBs? Sure. He had no business being deployed any other way.

Why are brazilians like this? Marquinhos is the same, reckless in many occasions. Blud thinks he is Thiago Silva
