I used to believed and support the Nigerian Army, but since they started doing rubbish, I've withdrawn or diminished my support for them! Yea, they are protecting us, good and fine. Butm why would they treat us like animals?!

Have we forgotten what happened in Lagos just yesterday?! Their behaviour towards what happened yesterday shows that they're unruly, inhumane, callous, uncouth and uncultured!

Sanchez01: Nice digs. Still, I would not want to stick to the stats. I have my reservations, and that is, Germany will end Brazil's hope of proceeding to the finals. Most times, the Brazillians seem lost playing non SA teams. The present Germany team is more compact, they functions like a machine; in which all the parts must play its role to work at best. The 2002 team that destroyed Brazil marked the end of an era of great Brazillian team spirit and football. The present is a shadow of the former team. I'm tipping Germany to go through, irrespective of the records.
This World Cup definitely belongs to Germany, no doubt. The end of Brazil is this game!

Brazil Vs Germany Statistics

Of the twenty games between these two sides, Germany have won just three times, Brazil have won twelve and there have been five draws.

Amazingly for teams who have eight world cups between them Brazil and Germany have only ever met once in the World Cup, in the Final of 2002 in Japan. On that occasion, Brazil were the comfortable 2-0 winners.

Germanys three wins in 1968, 1986 and 1993 were all achieved on home soil whilst Brazil have not found winning in Germany too difficult with five of their twelve victories recorded on German soil.

Brazil Vs Germany History

For two giants of the game it seems bizarre that Brazil are so apparently dominant over Germany with four times as many wins as the Europeans. With England also having a very similarly poor record against Brazil it could be assumed that the major European teams are giving Brazil far too much respect, believing the hype that goes with the South Americans and thinking that they are technically and competitively superior.

However other European teams have a decent record against the kings of South America – Italy have won 5, lost 7 and drawn 2 against Brazil and France have a lost 5, won 4, drawn 4 record (and a 3-1 positive record in World Cups!) so perhaps it is just Germany and England that treat games against Brazil with too much caution?

It would certainly seem to suggest that should Brazil face Germany in an important game, that on a historical basis at least, Brazil should be very strong favourites in the betting odds.

Brazil Vs Germany World Cup Final 2002

Brazil 2 Germany 0

Brazils victory in 2002 saw them achieve their fifth World Cup victory and was also notable for Brazilian captain Cafu's third appearance in a World Cup final – a record that looks unlikely to be beaten.

As is nearly always the case, Brazil were favourites for the game on reputation but also on the strength of their performances in the tournament which had seen them see off Belgium, England and Turkey in the knockout stages. Germany had been far less impressive in qualifying for the final, managing three 1-0 victories over an unlikely series of opponents in Paraguay, USA and South Korea.

The final was billed as an attacking force in Brazil against the German defensive stronghold but this proved not to be the case as the Germans played aggressively in the first half of an entertaining final. Both teams had a number of chances with player of the tournament Ronaldo uncharacteristically missing three excellent opportunities for Brazil.

Ronaldo made up for his first-half failures after the break and pounced on a blunder from the German goalkeeper Oliver Khan to steer home the first goal after sixty-seven minutes. The Brazilian striker put the game out of the Germans reach with a top quality finish twelve minutes later to score his second and not even a ridiculous haircut could stop him being crowned top scorer at the tournament.

Veteran defender Cafu raised the World Cup for the fifth time for Brazil to rapturous support.

Brazil have now appeared in seven World Cup Finals, losing only twice, to Uruguay in 1950 and to France in 1998.

FOOL! go back there and see how many people called you out for your iddiotic and irrational comment, yet you come here to spew garbage, not your fault, its obvious you have a non functional brain.

Guy, I only quoted you to inform you that you should desist from quoting peole who ain't of the same opinion with you because you might not know who you're quoting. Besides, if you think I want to start throwing tantrums with you here, then you're just joking. Try and know that you beneath me!

Guy, you seem to be a sadist. I don't know why semi-illiterates were allowed to register on Nairaland. I believe if they were denied registration access, a certified illiterate like you wouldn't be here ranting.

Fyi, I never wanted to dignify you with a response in sport' section. I'd advise you never to quote me with insults on Nairaland again. Because, if you do.... Only God knows what would happen.

I don't know why these kids can't do without insults. Anyways, I won't blame you, reason being that you don't know that everybody is entitled to his/her opinion. I never expected a jonathanian to be different from his master though!

We should stop encouraging this guy called Keshi, wrongly. The guy likes publicising himself. Btw, I thought he'd resigned, or was that just a publicity stunt?! Like Babayaro earlier said, “Keshi is confused”.

People like Keshi, Yobo and the useless/clueless Mikel Obi shouldn't have had their way back to Nigeria, because they've failed us as a country. What happened to Sanni Kaita after the 2010 World Cup, should have also happened to these useless guys!

Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas should be fit for Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against the Netherlands, despite missing a training session.

Navas, 27, saved a penalty in his country's last-16 penalty shoot-out winagainst Greece, but did not train on Wednesday because of a shoulder injury.

"We have to be careful and keep an eye on it," said doctor Erick Sanchez.

"We chose to be careful with him and let him rest so he can play on Saturday."

Gboliwe: Bro, take a chill. Both popular candidates served rice, either way, he would have eaten rice. Its a shame this is the extent we have fallen into.
I realised people are hungry when I observe the way they struggle and fight for food at burials. I mean, why would any right thinking person fight for food while mourning?
Lol... Ain't you aware that most Nigerians pray that people should die so as to go for receptions there and get their favourite food (rice)? Most Nigerians are hungry!

Thailand rice should know that there would be rise in demand come 2015, since Fayose has just shown it to the whole world that a bag of rice can do what hands/mouths cannot do. His fellow politicians would be ready to spend their money on rice come 2015.
