What joyful horn do the Brazilians have for the World Cup in 2014?

Someone commented on another site I read that the Brazilians also use the vuvuzela, but they don't play them constantly and actually play them to carry the beat of chants that they do, not just to make noise.

I believe the vuvuzela actually originated in South America.

That ref needs to be sent off. What a joke. Poor Cahill.

3-0 Germany.

The sad thing is, this could easily be about 6 or 7-0.

4-0.

Cacau.

Australia has given up.

4-0. Cacau.

With the defenses of Ghana and Serbia, I think we can safely say farewell, Socceroos.

Yep, once you factor in people watching in bars, and those watching on Univision (another 5 mil at least I would guess), that's a pretty sizable number of people watching.
And I've seen plenty of stories about plenty of bars being packed for the game.

Well, that is game. Germany wins 4-0.

Lalas is a fool, trying to excuse the ref's poor performance re: red card for Cahill by saying the ref might have a different style in Mexico. That league is so dirty and physical. That tackle might not even be a yellow in the domestic league.

Well I am glad Germany has such a down team this year... :eek: :D

Yes, but it's the World Cup. This always happens at the World Cup. Learn it, accept it. That foul, at the World Cup, is going to be a red. Everytime.

I'm not convinced just yet. The US could have laid a similar beating on Australia last weekend.

That foul has already happened about 6 times and not been a red. :rolleyes:

I agree with you, it was probably a yellow.

However, he also could have gotten a yellow for incessant fouling thirty seconds earlier. Two yellows = one game is a big difference from straight red = two games, so he still should feel cheated.

And maybe FIFA has quietly had a word with the refs and said, "See those? We think they're happening a little too readily."

Straight read not equal two games. Violent Conduct often carries an extra suspension, but Serious Foul Play usually does not, and I would assume that Cahill's red was recorded as SFP.

Before the us game there were very loose in officiating (unlike epl games that I watch), hen the us-eng game had a bunch to whistles and yellows.

Three red cards today seems to indicate as much (yes, I know the other two came thanks to two yellows).
