Members ihpguy Posted June 18, 2014 Members Posted June 18, 2014 Spain died. Chile killed them 2-0 with even 6 minutes of stoppage time in the second half. One of the biggest shockers in WC history in the opinion of the announcers. La Furia Roja were more tranquil and calm than a fury. And as far as the red, the must be the figurative blood of their side that they left on the green pitch of the Maracana. Fireworks here as one of Brasil's prime challengers is out of the competition with 2 straight losses. I think Germany still has the strongest team in the Cup, but we'll see. TotallyOz 1 Quote

TotallyOz Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 My boys stayed up to watch this and were very disappointed as they love Spain. I have been telling them the whole time that Brazil would win and they did not believe me. Well, we both may be wrong but at least their team went out quicker than my favorite team does. Quote
Members ihpguy Posted June 19, 2014 Author Members Posted June 19, 2014 I have a friend here who used to announce Futebol/soccer in Southern California on the radio. He is very knowledgable. His favorites to win are Germany from Europe and Argentina and Brasil, of course. His dark horse picks are Belgium and Colombia. Glaring weakness for the Selecao this time is the striker, Fred.
