BY FAR, LB Marcelo went off injured. Zero clue why they dont play Marquinhos at centre back, he is top 6, maybe top 4 in world, yet they go with old and slow Miranda and Thiago Silva. Germany did same thing by force-playing a massively sub-par Boateng and they are going home.

I am atm in Sweden so it was pretty crazy here, especially after we choked v Germany on last kick of game. It got all racialised too, with mad race hate directed at Jimmy Durmaz after he made the stupid foul that gave Kroos the winning free kick.
