    I'm have no clue how every country deals with the World Cup, but here in Brazil it's a deep thing. Entire cities declare holiday (day off) after 13:00 so everybody can be at home in time for the game. Host cities give the full day off. The world stops and streets go silent. Crime rates drops, call center calls drops, hospital emergencies stop. Everything stops for the games, and this was no different. Now I leave to you to imagine our faces while watching today's match.

    That hurt.

    I can't say I'm ashamed of the players or the coach. We are so confused right now. TV shows will be trying to explain what happened until late in the night and then for weeks to come.

    Right now all we can ask is for Argentina to lose and beat them when playing for 3rd.

    Not much to add now. Perplex.

    I can tell you my friend, that nothing stops in the USA for any sport. I mean if a certain city wins they have a parade, some idiots trash some cars and get in trouble while the rest of us just are happy to drink and celebrate. But I can't remeber anytime where you get off work early or anything like that fir sports. Hell they don't even give time off for voting here.

    On the bright side, my friend just got back from brazil and said it was a great city and he got to go to a game in San Paulo?

    But in the USA, they don't stop crap for sports.

    I always thought you could get out of work early during NBA finals or stuff like that.

    It's past midnight, more than five hours after the game and the funeral ambiance keeps haunting the news and sports broadcasts... Sad.

    Time to go back to SE and try to win something with my Ter Adun.

    as a german fan, i was fucking ecstatic...until goal #5. after goal 5, pity crept in.

    then goal number 6 happened, and i was only half paying attention. the other half of my attention was talking on facebook about how badly brazil was getting reamed.

    It is one of my greatest hopes that in the future, mankind achieves enlightenment so high we would not need rules, laws, or government to keep the peace and govern ourselves. By our own motivation and volition, we would do what is right and just because it is right and just. This is the central tenet of anarchy. Not chaos and lawlessness, but free will and self-actualization.

    I thought this thread would actually be about the card, lol (anyone ever noticed btw that the DT seem to have a fascination with the whole "The bigger they are" phrase?).

    I think I'm about the only person anywhere I go who doesn't follow this though, I just knew of this score (which for soccer/football is really a blowout considering how low scoring any games I see tend to be) from some people at work.

    And igornvidal, Americans don't get days off for sports like Kip says. I had to work on the day my Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup for hockey this year, and it was only because the game went into two overtimes that I was able to see any of it, lol. And then of course there's the Lakers, whose fans just trash the city, and that's when the Lakers win. At least in Vancouver they only riot when they lose, lol.

    @piethoson: just great my friend ! Lol

    I know football ( see I don't say soccer as my kind friends here have told me not too) is a very difficult sport, and I see poeple emotionally tied to thier teams everywhere, but I had no idea how much they were. I just can't invest that much in a team, no matter how much I love them.
