I'm sure an online search for images of female fans of any given country will turn up plenty of competition to Brazil ..

Only reason I dare to upload a picture of my 4 Brazilian daughters (yes all born in Brazil) is because they are all well covered! ?

What you can't see in the picture is the large stick Jake has behind his back to keep the young men at bay

I always joke with the girls that they are the reason I went bald!

Ha, no doubt.. I have only one son, and worry enough to have grey hairs from just the stress of that, if I had four daughters I'd be completely bald ( partially from pulling my hair out also..)     

 

Back to the Teams :   " On paper "  Belgium is by far the best team in the tournament, but as we've seen time after time, that does not necessarily guarantee much of anything.   Things should start getting very exciting as soon as the knock-out round begins ..

Belgium - Brazil should have been the final . By far, and I mean by far the best two teams in this tournament ( France is deemed a contender but they're not even close to this level of play .. does not mean they can't win it, because stranger things have happened , but they're in a much lower class that these two team are ..) . IMO , one of the most spectacular displays of skill and strategy and tactical brilliance matches in the last two or three world cups .

If Neymar stayed on his feet a bit more they might have won

I beg to differ - sure Neymar is a very skilled player and a major force even in a team as great as Brazil is, but, he's more of a legend in his own mind, which is too detrimental. Realistically he's not even in the top five best players out there, in spite of Pele's opinion that he's the best. Pele's "unbiased" opinion, lol. Maybe top 10 , but that's just a maybe .. Anyway , as for Brazil possibly winning if Neymar had spent more time standing up, this match was actually rare exception for him, since he spent far less time rolling in pain than in any previous match , so not sure he could have done much more that what he did . Also, if Hazard wouldn't have missed ( very uncharacteristic of him ) three separate passes inches away from the box which fell short of their destination to his teammates, while they had a 3 on 2 and a 4 on 3 advantage, that could have easily been a 5 to 1, or maybe 5 to 2 result ( Courtois deserves a lot of credit for a couple of extraordinary saves ). All we can hope for now is for Belgium to go all the way and win the Cup they clearly deserve, and not to choke ( ugh, remembering the Euros where they lost to Wales, a squad which with the sole exception of Bale is little more than a college team caliber ..)


And somehow karma got to Neymar in this match as well ; he was truly fouled in the box, and that should have been a PK, but because of his continuous dives / fakes , the ref didn't give him the benefit of the doubt . Good, maybe he'll learn a lesson from this and come back in the next World Cup a mature player as opposed to a whiny actor . He has brilliance and talent to spare, but regretfully marred by a shifty attitude and all the pure crap he tries to pull off .
