Really? Didn't he blast one over for RM and/or Spain recently and lose them the match as a result?

If you don't think Neymar will be a success at Barcelona, especially with all the talent around him, you need your head examined. Really good game too. Glad Brazil will win at home and glad to see Spain finally lose. Jesus even earned a penalty too

Navas looks incredible. Great run and ball to Villa.

And how arry and sparky got relegated with a goalie as good as Julio Cesar is astounding

Navas has really impressed me last few games for Spain and especially tonight. Just wish he had scored a few more goals in his career so far!

Luckily we have Aguero, Dzeko, and maybe even Yaya to score on the end of those crosses

If he goes to Arsenal like the reports say, they might actually stop leaking goals...unfortunately.

Fair play to Brazil. I've never seen a Brazilian side graft like that. If they keep it up, they will have a serious chance of winning the tournament. It's what they have lacked in recent years since the standard of individual players has dropped.

Once again we saw the Barca trio of Xavi, Iniesta & Busquets utterly crushed by a team with a willingness to work hard. We also saw what a bag of shite the Spanish defence is when they are up against it. And these are the kind of 'clever' players people suggest we need rather than our defenders ? My arse.

Navas looks ideal for us, but notice how many passes went to Pedro on the left, even when Navas was in acres of space, until Piquet was sent off, then they gave Navas a few passes as it didn't matter anymore. Barca clique. Shocking.

Some of Iniesta's play tonight, taking on five players & running down blind alleys, was appalling.

Nice to see a Brazil side putting in the hard yards though, rather than watching wankers like Robinho standing around posing when they lose the ball. Fred has looked a miles better player than Torres all through this tournament; which is very amusing.

Torres getting the golden boot thanks to scoring 4 goals against Taihiti you have to laugh.

What a stupid money spinning operation that tournament was. Only good thing is that when we inevitably draw Barcelona in CL their lads will be exhausted.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Ridiculous. It was entertaining and fun and filled with some watchable matches starring some world class players.

The glee at Spain's loss to that shower of cheating Brasilian wankers beggars belief. I believe Nietzsche dubbed it ressentiment. So much for the 'beautiful game'.
