ofan 696 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 The fair play award was totally provocative and unnecessary. You really don't do yourself any favours do you Tony? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ikarus360 605 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 ^^ This. I think I speak for a lot of people here on GB when I say i'm totally annoyed with it already. ._. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ofan 696 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 This silly Anglo-Brazilian tit for tat kindergarten game doesn't look good on either of the participants. Exactly right. And it shows how thin skinned both sides are that they choose to continue in this little spat. It's never ending too when Tony makes this subtle jab with the fair play award and Danny makes daily statements about the international media. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DannyelBrazil 703 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Danny makes daily statements about the international media. Well, when we had daily international media links saying absurd things about Brazil, we had nobody annoyed or being thin skinned (whatever this means). Somehow, I'm only asking Tony: where is the chaotic World Cup he was predicting with tons of news links? Just it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow, I'm only asking Tony: where is the chaotic World Cup he was predicting with tons of news links? Just it. You shouldn't waste your time. I've always advocated the organization of events in new destinations (olympics, world cups...), and especially by the South and the New Powers that are part of it. Because they've been left aside for too long and world sport events can't be the unique property of traditional western countries. I'm a white European myself but anyone should see that. The cries, criticisms and predictions of failure emanating from a minority are clumsily attempting to hide those people's will to keep the events to themselves and in their countries. But you're proving that : 1 - Brazil is organizing a fantastic World Cup. 2 - New destinations bring something new to the event. So who cares anyway... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StefanMUC 702 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 South America (and Brazil) have hosted several times before actually. Thread topic is "outstanding players/teams" btw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, so, officially, I'm stopping and get back to ignore status towards the caged kid again. Let's see how many stupid stuff he will say to provoke... Thread topic is "outstanding players/teams" btw. So, let's discuss it. IMO Best player: James Rodriguez (COL) Best team: France 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie_Victoria 40 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 South America (and Brazil) have hosted several times before actually. Thread topic is "outstanding players/teams" btw. Don't bite Stefan....Sit....Good boy. They've hosted before ? No joke ?! By "new destinations" I think you perfectly know I meant other destinations than our places. But you'd rather be unpleasant and blunt. I'm saying something very basic that even you should agree with. I can understand that the attitude of a few in Europe was seen as disrespectful in Brazil. Apparently you can't. And I don't know if you're talking to me when you recall the thread topic but you should've said it long ago, I've only said one thing that no one else did and had to be said, period. It still amazes me how a nation that produced the fun, open-minded, friendly friends I know produced....you. Maybe your generation or that Bavaria thing. But moving on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony E Loves Architecture 168 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The thing is yeah, how could I be against Brazil, when I wanted the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Rio De Janeiro. When the Bidding Process was going on, I supported Rio 2016. Anyway, honestly, sorry if I caused upset or offended anybody. I have nothing against Brazil, I would like to visit Brazil and be a spectator at Rio 2016. My only mistake was, at first, I didn't put in no particular order. So I will redo it, I will name them by there Country alphabetically and hopefully we can move forward and don't bring up this argument: Players of the Tournament Contenders: - Lionel Messi (Argentina). - Neymar (Brazil). - James Rodriguez (Colombia). - Karim Benzema (France). - Thomas Muller (Germany). - Arjen Robben (Holland). - Robin Van Persie (Holland). - Xherdan Shaqiri (Switzerland). Goalkeepers of the Tournament Contenders: - Julio Cesar (Brazil). - Claudio Bravo (Chile). - Hugo Lloris (France). - Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico). - Diego Benaglio (Switzerland). Goal of the Tournament Contenders: - Tim Cahill (Australia) (Australia VS Holland). - James Rodriguez (Colombia) (Colombia VS Uruguay). - Karim Benzema (France) (France VS Honduras). - Robin Van Persie (Holland) (Spain VS Holland). I would like to see others opinions on there Favourite Players of the Tournement, Favourite Goalkeepers of the Tournament and Favourite Goals of the Tournament. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
