Brazil woke up, what a tempo!

Neymar overelaborates when in a good position.

you shouldn't be allowed to have knockout stage matches in swamp weather.

..the Premier League is supposedly the highest profile club league in the world with full time referees, yet there are no English officials at the World Cup. Says a lot.

Brazil appear to have found a Brazil-like level at last.

 

[Nymzee]

He's also great a conducting the executions of thousands of his countrymen and turning his nation into a failed state

I’m here for football not the news

It was 91 degrees F, with 28% humidity at kickoff. That's really not that bad. The next two World Cups will be much, much worse.

...Mexico carry a threat but Brazil carry more.

Clattentwerp was due to go to the World Cup until he retired from Premier League Reffing. Apparently, Reffing in Saudi (or wherever he went) made him ineligible.

What is that in Celcius

...just as hot.

Mexico elected a leftist reformist leader who promised to fight against corruption in yesterday's presidential election. That probably gave boost to most of the players. Energy at the peak

thought World cup in Russia would have nice weather at least.

A lot of the US WC matches sucked too because of the mid afternoon start times.

the heat has killed the pace of the match, mexico ran out of gas by the 30th minute.

 

[BillBrasky]

What is that in Celcius

33-34 C from what I can tell.

I live in North Carolina (the Southern part of the U.S. but the upper half of "The South") and our forecast today is 35C with 75% humidity. And its much worse in other parts of the country.

Can only assume the Russians wouldn't let the drop dead gorgeous Brazilian women in...
