Closed Corinthians v Chelsea

[Rmpr 8,977]

Dude, please stop quoting my posts to replywith this kind of thing. I have a solid opinion about brazilian football, so please, dont come with this kind of stupid arguments. The fact it will still be considered awesome in SA, even if its shit and stupid only shows how SA is far way from the 1st world of football. Dont get me wrong, but I think its a little embarrasing, 60% of the posts about this "world cup" came from you, but most part of this forum dont really care about it, even in SA I'm pretty sure that only Brazil (and because its Corinthians) is paying attention for this competition, in fact I think the football world is not paying attention at all.

You dont need to repply, I will contiue to quote you to express my opinion though.

No, it shows we have character and dont follow what Europeans love (although we do). You always downgrade your country, you clear dont have pride for anything Brazilian.

It is not embarassing, I am really the only one biting my nails off, waiting for this game. However, I am not ashamed of it. This is who I am, a stupid Chelsea fan, who actually lives the big rivalry in Sao Paulo. I am not like you, who wouldnt be posting so many things about this tournament (even if you liked it) because other members dont give a shit for it. Also, unilke you, I respect everyone`s opinion and different objetives for our team (both of them). I understand they dont like it (and some are even trying to like it, maybe because of me), but I dont go saying they are plastic or anything else because of it. For instance, I dont give a fuck for FA Cup (I dont like it), but I would never do what you are trying to do.

If you want to be so "Anti-Brazil", at least learn something good from Europe, RESPECT.

So, if you hate it, leave me alone. You dont need to be a dick about it. If you are so "unBrazilian", dont be biased only to make everything here look bad.

I do not disagree about the difference level between european and south american football. But what kills CWC for me is its duration. I mean, Corinthians and Chelsea had to play one single game to reach finals, it makes the CWC feel so cheap and boring.

Some facts about this topic:

- Only 7 pages, less than 8 hours before the game, same as an avarage EPL game.

- Most active members are brazilians.

This speaks loud about this tournament. Only south americans teams gives a shit about it. Its really sad to see a club like Corinthians thinking this is the most important match in their story, because this tournament is really shit, every single game was garbage, both semi-finals were awful. In the first one we had bad football by both teams, the other there was only one team playing, and the stadium was half empty and with a cold atmosphere.

A journalist from Brazil is in London right now, and he was impressed about the lack of interest. He went to a pub near Stamford Bridge, and he found 5 people watching Chelsea vs Monterey: 3 mexicans supporting Monterey, and a norweagian couple suppoting Chelsea. After the game he asked a Chelsea's employee near SB about the final result, then he replied: "there is no one playing right now".

It's not even a tournament really. The only two teams with a chance to win both only play one game and then each other. It's huge in Brazil because it's the only game they get to face a European club. European clubs don't treat it as a joke, but they also don't treat it the same way.

Yep, politics baby!

FIFA needs to make every confederation happy.

I cant agree more that Intercontinental was much better (although still crap).

True, sadly.

I know it wouldn't be fair and I have no idea how it would work out, but maybe if Libertadores, Sudamericana, UCL and Europa League champions and runner-ups went to CWC together it would get WAY more interesting. It would truly feel like a championship.

Dude, this post only shows I was right about you: you are the typical brazilian that thinks Brazil = football. In fact I never talked about Brazil in this forum, only about brazilian football. You are that kind of people that believes they have to say good things about brazilian football to show all their "brazilian proud". So dont come with this bullshit about not having pride for anything brazilian.

I downgrade brazilian football league, I never downgrade my country, dont come with this bullshit, I'm not the kind of person that is proud of Anderson Silva and Neymar, in fact Brazil would be a better place if it was known for scientists, universities and technology other than football, UFC and samba.

Waste your nationalism with things that really matters, its better than trying to prove that Corinthias can beat anyhting in the world if they play like they did in Libertadores only 5 months ago. I dont have any proud of Corinthians, and when I'm in another country the last thing I will talk about Brazil is football.

edit: your "anti-Brazil" and "unbrazilian" thing is really pathetic dude, grow up. Read some books about brazilian history, perhaps you might understand what being a brazilian means, and please, dont you ever say I'm anti brazilian again, or I will have to contact the adms, because its easily the most offensive thing it was said about me in this forum.

Brazilians seem to get offended for people relating us to football and samba. I don't get it. I mean, when people mention Germany - you think about beer. Italy - pizza or that gesture when they get their fingers up and together. French - bread, Paris, those caps which names in english I don't know. Mexico - sombreros, mexican food etc. Swiss - chocolate and watches. Spain - bullfighting. Even though those are the first things that come to my mind, I don't think those countries can be resumed/summarized to that or those are their most important traits. It's just the way they're perceived in other parts of the planet. There's nothing wrong about being remembered by samba or football, if anything, it just shows our excellence in those regards.

@Henrique,

And I'd rather Australia not be known for this:

But we can't choose the way other's stereotype us.

@, I get pissed off when people say shit like:

Throw anutha shrimp on da barbie.

Struth

Crikey

We don't talk like that.

And when they believe we all surf and live on the beach and ride kangaroos to work. It's not just Brazillians that get annoyed by stereotypes

@ Yeah, but that's why I don't get pissed off. I know things are just like that for every country.

edit: and there are worse things than football and samba to be remembered of, hahaha. No offence.

You are wrong, brazilian dont get offended for relating Brazil to football and samba, people get offended when they think Brazil is all about samba and football, thats a huge difference.

The argument by the other guy here was even more stupid, because he said I'm anti brazilian because I believe brazilian league is weak, Corinthians is in same level as West Browinch and Swansea, or because I think this FIFA trophy is shit even if some brazilians see it as a huge thing.

The weirdest one about Australians is Fosters... an Australian beer that Australians never drink but everyone thinks they do. Many stereotypes have a grain of truth, many don't. There's a difference between a stereotype-say, thinking Canadians like hockey which we mostly do and just idiocy like thinking Canadians live in igloos (when a good 10% of us don't!) Stereotypes don't bother me. Idiocy does.

I get your point, however, I don't think anyone with an IQ higher than 70 thinks Brazil is ONLY samba and football. And if there is, he's a moron, why bother?

I have literally never seen Fosters Lager before. I've been to dozens of clubs, pubs and bottle shops but I have never ever seen Fosters. It was popular in the 80s and early 90s though.

Though to be honest Victorian Bitter another beer made by Fosters Group is very popular.

Do people really think you guys live in igloos? I had no clue.

edit: the hockey part is true, I really do relate Canada and hockey. And maple. Maple syrup. And a lot of foreign people living in the big cities. All in all, I rate Canada very highly.

I hope not. We're pretty far north so it's dark a lot in winter.

@dionsa- Absolutely...mostly Americans though. You can tell people we ride to work with huskies pulling our sleds and lots of them would believe you.
