This is the "Best World Cup ever"!!!! The matches are really entertaining so far and the Brazilians are great hosts, who want that their guests feel welcomed!

Faster Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm definitely calling BS on those attendance totals. My friend is at the game in Salvador now and has been at 2 other games. He says that the reason the stands look empty here and there are for two reasons. The Brazilian fans move around a lot and security issues due to Brazilians and other fans not arriving in the time they are recommended to show up. Danny might be able to confirm this.

Victor Mata Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yeah, I'm definitely calling BS on those attendance totals. Switzerland vs Ecuador in Brasilia had visible empty spots. OTOH, Every other game was packed. The 2014 WC - in its first week - is shaping to be a very memorable edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekekelso Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 US Sports Talk Radio this morning: Host: So, realistically, does the US have a chance of advancing out of the group stage? "Expert 1": Oh yes, there's a chance. Both Germany and Portugal are vunerable. The Germans have been playing listless lately. They can give up soft goals and forget to score. Meanwhile, Portugal isn't stocked with star players they way the usually are. "Expert 2": Are you *&*#$ing nuts? Germany. Vunerable? To the US??? They are unquestionally one of the top three teams in the world. The dominate the US at every single positions. There's not a player on the USMNT that could make the German squad. etc. etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already said that and posted a picture of second half with the stadium packed. The image of the stadium in second half speaks for itself. 98% or so attendance seems very plausible with this picture from mid-second half. People is complaining the restaurant services were very slow... Can be a reason for some empty chairs during part of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their guys was saying Germany wouldn't advance because of their 'suspect' defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany is dominant....in control.....not a surprise but Portugal is surprisingly unsorted. Thought I had a winning team ARRRRRRRRRRRRR! We are saving it for the big ending.

Our commentator stated that it wasn't the hand to the face that was the issue, the official was actually going to ignore that. But it was the pseudoheadbutt that was the red card/foul.

Citius Altius Fortius Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Portugal is having its worst time in Brazil since 1822... 2 injured 1 red card 3 goals... Wow Did Brazil become independent in 1822? Our commentator stated that it wasn't the hand to the face that was the issue, the official was actually going to ignore that. But it was the pseudoheadbutt that was the red card/foul. yeah - that was said in the German commentary too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
