The last 10 minutes have been tense.

We've had some great opportunities but couldn't cash in.

Because of their style of play, humility, and proximity to all the other Latin American countries.

:unsure

They mostly go by just one name, they crow left and right about being the "Kings" of the sport, I get the whole "Americans too" thing, but humility??? Only compared to Argentinians and Italians.

Fuck Brasil! Give me Germany, Colombia or Holland.

The fans may not be humble, but the players have never been arrogant from what I can recall.

Despite the fact that they always produce the great stars of the world, almost all have been very well-liked and overall good guys.

From Romario, to Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Kaka and Ronaldinho.....not one of them was a jerk or wasn't well-liked. And as a team, they usually take it easy on the lower teams and don't look to embarrass them, whereas Argentina will humiliate you if they can, and their players are definitely arrogant and refuse to even conduct interviews with members of the press from other countries.

I'm guessing you are too young to recall, but Romario and Ronaldo were (are for all I know) two huge Douchebags Ronaldo wasn't liked even by his own teammates. Zico, Eder, Roberto Carlos, Hulk, Neymar... the list goes on, and I stated that they could only be considered humble compared to the Argentinians.

:lol

What? Romario....maybe, but they sure seemed like they loved him while he was scoring goals for them at the 94 WC.

And Ronaldo? Ronaldo has never been disliked by his own teammates and is one of the most likable players of the last 20 years. All of the players from around the world just think the world of him.

Roberto Carlos? Who had issues with him? And does Hulk even count? Nobody even pays him any mind.

Being from Mexico or of Mexican descent, I'd expect you to know better being as Mexico seems to have adopted Brazil as their 2nd team.

This current squad doesn't have a lot of likable players, but it's also the first team in over 40 years that doesn't have a ton of star power either.

I'm looking at his comments a different way. Being Mexican, he knows what it's like to have assholes for players and he can recognize the asshole traits in others.

Dos Santos and Marquez are both punks.

Looking forward to this game. Pogba is some player, probably Fergie's biggest mistake was letting him leave for nought.

But this German team looks much stronger, Hummels for Mertesacker really helps and Klose will probably get a goal.

Referee is doing his best to ruin this game; and Rodriguez is getting kicked almost every time he gets the ball.
