World Cup 2014 Knock out stage discussion thread - Brazil VS Netherlands on Saturday

[Ninastar]

Why the **** did I have to comment?? seriously

[MTVN]

Deutschland!!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

Neat finish

[Calderyon]

93th minute: Schuerrle scores for Germany on the extra time. 1-0!!!

[Ninastar]

Get up you stupid German

[Brother Leon]

Algeria's #4>>>

One hell of a defender.

[King Gizzard]

Plays for Watford

[Drew.]

My guy

[Ninastar]

if only this had happened 2 mins earlier

[Calderyon]

119th minute: Germany ends the game with a goal from Özil. 2-0 for Germany.

[Drew.]

Cracking game, Best playmaker in the world comes up with the winner.

[Calderyon]

120th minute: Algeria still fights and makes it 2-1, but it´s too little too late.

[Calderyon]

Game ends in a 2-1 German victory after extra time. Algeria fought valiantly, but it just wasn´t enough.

[Drew.]

Friday is going to be great, France v Germany & Brazil v Colombia

[Brother Leon]

The Algerian boss crying :(

[Locke.]

Manolas locked down Costa Rica centre-forward Joel Campbell, winning 100 percent of headed contests

Ivory Coast centre-forward Didier Drogba failed to even shoot once, let alone score, which was a testament to how tough Manolas and Sokratis were in Greece's 2-1 win over the African nation.

Manolas cleared the ball four times, made two tackles, intercepted two passes and blocked two shots as Greece kept a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw against Japan.

Manolas' clearances per game (6.0) was higher than Italian centre-back Giorgio Chiellini (4.7).

Manolas' pass completion percentage (87.5) is comparable to German centre-back Mats Hummels (87.2).

Manolas averaged more headers won per game (3.3) than English centre-back Gary Cahill (3.0).

Manolas' tackle completion percentage (75, per Squawka.com) was more proficient than Brazilian centre-back David Luiz (46, per Squawka.com).

Time for a PL club to get him in, as long as it's not Utd/Chelsea/City/Spurs/Arsenal/Everton

[Legend killer]

Watched the France game this morning and can't believe i'm saying this but Patrice actually managed to play worse then he has for us for the last 2 years smh

Aside from that Pogba dominating teams but that is no surprise to us knowledgeable posters

[Calderyon]

39th minute: Switzerland had a golden opportunity to go on a 1-0 lead, but it fell down to a unbelievably weak finish from the Swiss forward Drmich. He was practically alone against the goalkeeper and end it like that. Pitiful.

[Calderyon]

Weak half. I think the Swiss were way more dangerous than Argentina in this half.

[Ryan57]

Shocking first half.

[Brother Leon]

Come on Suiss!!

[Calderyon]

76th minute: Penalty for Argentina!!! Never mind... only a corner.

[Brother Leon]

**** off Messi. Dirty ****.

[Calderyon]

I smell penalties.

[Brother Leon]

Rodriquez is immense. Whoever signs him is incredibly fortunate.

[Drew.]

Getting used to these extra time games

[Brother Leon]

Argentina are gash.

[Calderyon]

Argentina have been a huge disappointment.

[Brother Leon]

Messi will score and we will hear about his "Great performance"

Quote me.

[Shaun]

*heavy booing*

[Brother Leon]

**** off.


Can't wait to dick the Argies.

[Drew.]

DI MARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get in, was quite looking forwards to pens though.

[Calderyon]

117th minute: Argentina 1-0!!! Di Maria makes it and Messi passes.

Shame. Would have liked to see some penalties.

[MTVN]

****ing Argies, always so bloody jammy

[Shaun]

NOOOO :(

[Calderyon]

121th minute: Header off the post for Switzerland and then from his legs to a goalkick. Gdi.

[Shaun]

the tan on this goalie :joker:

[Drew.]

What a finish

[Shaun]

I would wet myself if this went in

[Shaun]

poo.

[Drew.]

Hurray!!!

[Calderyon]

Free kick goes straight to the wall and the game ends. Argentina wins the game 1-0 and advance to the quarterfinals.

[Brother Leon]

Jammy twats.

[Calderyon]

I kind of hope that either Belgium or USA does the "unthinkable" and drop the Argentinians of the last 4.

[Drew.]

Now for Belgium to dick the USA

[Shaun]

time for AMURICUH to become the only 2nd-placed team from the groups to get to the quarters.

[Calderyon]

I can see Belgium vs USA go to the extra time also.

[MTVN]

Shearer with the worst cliches in punditry

"These top teams, they find a way"

[GypsyGoth]

http://i.imgur.com/v5j0IzX.jpg

I believe that we will win!!

:clap1::clap1::clap1:

[Brother Leon]

Lukaku singing along to *****s in Paris lol

[GypsyGoth]

Let's play soccerball!!!

[Locke.]

My new pal Origi to sink the American's

[Raph]

So bummed for my Swiss boys they really put everything into it. Let's do this USA now!!

[Calderyon]

32th minute: Johnson (USA) has suffered an injury. USA replaces him with Yedlin.

[Ninastar]

USA USA USA!!!

Come on!!!

[MTVN]

Odds of another extra time :sleep:

[Calderyon]

I hope this game goes to penalties, tbh.

Quite an even half, i think. Both had good scoring opportunities, with lacks of finishing skill.

[GypsyGoth]

I don't care how USA win, once they win.

[Ninastar]

I hope this game goes to penalties, tbh.

Quite an even half, i think. Both had good scoring opportunities, with lacks of finishing skill.

Agreed

I think if it went to penalties, the USA would have the upper hand

[Locke.]

USA wouldn't score a single penalty vs the second best keeper in the world I'm afraid.

[Ninastar]

We will see about that

:pipe:

[Locke.]

ORIGI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MTVN]

USA lose if this doesn't end in 90 mins, I will stake my Modship on it

[GypsyGoth]

USA lose if this doesn't end in 90 mins, I will stake my Modship on it

Will you give it to Ramsay?? :amazed:

[Drew.]

Going by that excited face she has used.. she thinks you are a terrible mod Matt and can't wait for you to hand it over to Karl.

[MTVN]

That seems true Drew, just for that it is going to Michael21

[Drew.]

I'm a fan of that idea

[GypsyGoth]

[Brother Leon]

Adnan on for the Ginger 12 year old.


Chop chop.

[MTVN]

Kompany just strolling up the length of the pitch from a last ditch tackle to near miss on goal lol

[Brother Leon]

What a ****ing miss.

[MTVN]

5/8 second round games go to extra times, crazy

[Shaun]

Bored of extra-time nonsense eventually going the way of the more boring team. Can we just have a thrashing already?

[Brother Leon]

Was hoping to watch BB on +1 ffs.

[MTVN]

Time to scrap extra time and go straight to pens

Either that or shorten it to ten mins each way or bring back golden goal

[Shaun]

Bb was crap tonight dw

[Shaun]

Golden goal :love:

[Locke.]

De Bruyne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drew.]

DARNELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ninastar]

**** off **** off **** off

[MTVN]

That's that then

[Ramsay]

**** off **** off **** off

[2]

[Shaun]

Bored of extra-time nonsense eventually going the way of the more boring team.

.

[MTVN]

Both these two would genuinely fancy their chances against the Argies as well

[Locke.]

.

How are Belgium the more boring team when the entire 90 minutes was just them attacking

[Drew.]

Oh wow, no football after tonight until Friday.

[Calderyon]

So Belgium take the lead. I would think it´s earned, since the last 20 minutes of second half
it was the Belgium doing the attacking and USA was in deep trouble.

But i really want USA to tie the game.

[Drew.]

The standard of goalkeeping this WC has been unreal

[MTVN]

Already really up for France vs Germany on Friday now

[Calderyon]

^ Drew, it really has been. The scouts are happy.

^ And MTVN, it will be a clash of the titans. Cannot wait.

[Locke.]

Goodbye America

[Ramsay]

Well that's all she wrote

[MTVN]

8/8 group winners through

[GypsyGoth]

:cloud:

Stupid Belgians!!!

[Brother Leon]

That is that then. No upsets in the Last 16.

[Drew.]

Great finish from Rom, been a terrible tournament for him previous to that goal. Some great quarter final matches set up.

[Ninastar]

Oh **** OFF

[MTVN]

Yeah as good as it is to see upsets at least we're gonna get all amazing ties from now on

[Ramsay]

[Ramsay]

JESUS CHRIST

[Ramsay]

Get Jones off he must of missed like 5 shots in 10 minutes

[Ramsay]

Great effort by the States must be said :clap1:

[MTVN]

Great game, Yanks can be very proud of their performance across this whole tournament

[Brother Leon]

Boooooooo

[Ninastar]

****ing joke

That was some of the most incredible football I have ever seen the past 20 mins

[Drew.]

Incredible game, one of or if not the best of the tournament. Yanks did well in the end, didn't think they were capable of it.

[GypsyGoth]

The best team lost.

[Locke.]

Good to finally be rid of the American fans rambling on all the time but the team can be proud of themselves, provided some of the best games. Belgium were the better side tonight though, dominated for about 105 minutes and deserved to go through.

[Brother Leon]

If England played with half the heart the Yanks play with....

[Calderyon]

Wow, what a 2nd half of extra time. Belgium was ultimately stronger and got the win, but USA battled their heart out and it´s sad to see them go. Top team, who deserved better.

[Ninastar]

Locke just because England were abysmal this year doesn't mean you need to hate on the yanks

[Locke.]

Locke just because England were abysmal this year doesn't mean you need to hate on the yanks

Not hating on them, they were a lot better than us this time around. Their fans are just unbelievably annoying.

[Ninastar]

It shouldn't be about the fans though :nono:

[Novo]

Good riddance, Belgium dominated throughout apart from the last half of extra time

[Brother Leon]

It shouldn't be about the fans though :nono:

It's all about the fans in football.

****ing scousers.

[Shaun]

think i've supported every runner-up except Nigeria, Algeria and Uruguay (aside from the sweepstake stuff) :laugh: been a very disappointing round tbh

[Drew.]

7 Arsenal players in the quarters, great stuff.

[Shaun]

3 of them have even scored :worry: #thatpower

[Samuel.]

One of the best games I've ever watched

Would have been cemented had it gone to penalties. Dempsey should have really finished off that planned free kick.

[Novo]

Lawro taking the piss out of Fellaini all game, he has some weird hate fetish for him, he said something negative about him even when he was doing something right

[Shaun]

yeah, "think that's the first tackle he's made all night" :joker:

[Samuel.]

*Danny Murphy

[Novo]

I'm sure it was Lawro, can't mistake that voice

[MTVN]

I was sure it was Lawro as well, then he was referred to as Danny Murphy at some point towards the end :think:

[Samuel.]

It was Danny Murphy, check your TV guide info

They do sound somewhat similar but Lawro's got a stronger accent. As negative as Danny was about Fellaini, Lawro's obvious for being negative about literally everything.

[Novo]

484102070761709568

There we go

[Drew.]

Murphy was great, he actually spoke a lot of sense. I don't see the similarities between him and Lawro though :think:

[Locke.]

Terrible knowledge from you two, can't believe you couldn't tell it was Murphy

[MTVN]

Many people with the same mistake it seems

484098642543124481

484098974627143680

[Novo]

That is defo Lawro commentating under Murphy's name

[BBfanUSA]

Well, I have the MLS. Seattle is leading that right now. :laugh:

[MTVN]

http://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/assets/4675731/usa-usa-usa.gif

[James]

Danny Murphy has a strong Scouse accent - quite different voice to Lawro.

[Novo]

If you think he has a strong scouse accent god knows what you'd make of Purdy's accent then

[King Gizzard]

Lawro commentates like he hates football and it's a chore, Danny Murphy makes good points and sounds like he does actually like it

[James]

Yeah, he (Lawro) is really sarcastic also.

[Calderyon]

Brazil vs Colombia -> Colombia advances

Brazil has been kind of good as of now, mainly because of Neymar. However they have definite vulnerabilities on their game and the pressure for them to success is enormous. They have to control their emotions or they are in for a disappointment of a lifetime. Neymar has to be incredible and Cesar has to provide a superior showing against the Colombian offense. If Brazil can relax and focus on going forward and answer to the team effort of Colombia, they can beat team. If they panic and become too stressed, they are out.

Colombia has played great. They topped their group without much problems and also got rid of Uruguay quite easily. Next is their biggest test yet. They are about to face the hosts, who have a loud home crowd on their side, along with a killer offense and a great goalie. But so do they, excluding the home crowd thing. They have excellent first striker in Rodriguez, a great goalie, good midfield and a good defense. And a great chemistry amongst their players which has shown as a great team game and results. If they can continue the way they are going, they are close to winning and dropping the hosts out of the tournament.

France vs Germany -> Germany advances

A clash of the titans. Both have been quite great and both are quite equal in terms of team ability and execution. Both have great offensive and defensive strength as well as tactical knowledge and an ability to execute it successfully. If both sides play like they have played thus far, it´s going to be an even match till the end. Most like both try their hardest to avoid mistakes, play very carefully and because of that we might be in for a scoreless draw, meaning extra time and most likely a penalty kick contest. Which i think will favor the Germans more.


Netherlands vs Costa Rica - Netherlands advances

Last championships runner-ups versus the surprisers/dream makers.

Netherlands has a stellar offensive machine which has the capability to control games without the opponent to get any good chances to score, forcing them to defend most of the game. Their weakness might be that they sometimes forget to to defend, causing their players to bee too deep in the offensive zone, which leaves their defensive zone a little vulnerable at times. If Netherlands can take the full control of the game offensively, preventing Costa Rica from attacking too much, they will easily go for the win.

It´s unbelievable and fascinating how far the Ricans have advanced, when everybody expected them to be the last of their group with 0 points. They have maybe the most positive surprise of this tournament as of now. They can still do it, if they can match the Dutch attack machine on their own offense and at the same time keep a tight defense. They also have to have effective counterattacks and force Netherlands to defend often. Their goalie has to be awake at all times too. They need a bit of luck too in terms of succeeding on shots/corners/free kicks and stuff. If they can be an equal opponent to Netherlands, defend/strike on counterattacks then maybe they can do the "impossible" and continue their fairy tale.

Argentina vs Belgium -> Argentina advances

So far the Argentinians have been a bit of a disappointment. Their offense hasn´t been that great apart from Messi and they have made quite a lot of mistakes in the matches and frankly they have not been as good as many thought they would. Thankfully their defending and goalkeeping has been on form most of the ti, to avoid them from total failure and it shows up on the fact that they have not allowed that many goals. But if that fails, they might be in for a world of hurt. If they can get their attacking department sorted with Messi on form and avoid careless mistakes, they should be all right.

Belgium has a talented team, which can anything if they want to. They have not been that good as their hype suggested, but regardless they are in the top 8 of this World cup. That said their 2nd half of extra time was maybe their best 15 minutes yet and they controlled the lower part of the 2nd half of regular play. If they can be that good and challenge Argentina in their offensive zone, forcing them to defense regularly, they might be able to cause an "upset" and advance to the last 4.

[Ryan57]

https://vine.co/v/Mt2e7QqtXQJ

[Locke.]

Sakho & Varane have conceded 0 goals & committed 0 fouls in 516 minutes at the World Cup

What a partnership

[MTVN]

And it's all to be destroyed tomorrow

http://static.goal.com/102900/102970_heroa.jpg

[Brother Leon]

France & Colombia wins tomorrow.

[Drew.]

Tomorrow's games >

[Calderyon]

Two big ones today. Really interested to see what happens.

Brazil will need Cesar tonight if they want survive against Colombia. I fully expect France and Germany go all the way to the penalty shootout.

[King Gizzard]

France will win, Brazil win dodgily win again

[Calderyon]

#FRA LINE-UP: Lloris (c), Debuchy, Evra, Varane, Sakho, Cabaye, Valbuena, Benzema, Griezmann, Matuidi, Pogba

#GER LINE-UP: Neuer, Howedes, Hummels, Khedira, Schweinsteiger, Ozil, Klose, Muller, Lahm (c), Kroos, Boateng

[Brother Leon]

A little dramatic by Thierry.

[Calderyon]

13th minute: 1-0 for Germany !!! Defender Hummels makes it via header.

[alex_front2]

ahead of the brazil v colombia showdown: intrigued to find out how the ref, lines men will help ensure a brazil victory. We all know FIFA are desperate to make the nightmare of 1950 go away. Maybe 2 penalties when neymar goes down deliberately in the box, or when mercelo or neymar elbows a colombian.

[MTVN]

Not a great game but at least Germany have looked fairly solid with their lead, set up well for a good second half

[Drew.]

Great sub, Sakho has had a terrible game.

[Calderyon]

Game ends in a 1-0 win by Germany.

Pretty yawn worthy game. That said Germany played tactically well and majorly freezed France´s offensive game after their goal. But France wasn´t very good tonight.

[Locke.]

Great sub, Sakho has had a terrible game.

Still carrying a knock you tit. Hard to believe but non-Arsenal players risk their bodies when they love the team they play for.

1 goal conceded all World Cup for Sakho compared to about 17 for Kos, great form for them to both take into the season. I think that's all our players on their way home now, apart from Mignolet who's not playing anyway. World Cup over.

[Brother Leon]

What a hit


Jesus

[Calderyon]

Brazil takes a 2-0 lead with Luiz´s incredible freekick. Game over.

[Drew.]

Still carrying a knock you tit. Hard to believe but non-Arsenal players risk their bodies when they love the team they play for.

Please could you confirm that Liverpool conceded more goals than Arsenal last season.

[Brother Leon]

Has to be red


Coward ref.

[Shaun]

GWAN RODRIGUEZ

[Drew.]

Quintero!!!

[Calderyon]

Cesar tackled Quintero? and Colombia gets a penalty. Rodriguez easily puts it in. 2-1.

[Shaun]

this is going to be such a letdown if Brazil win the whole bloody thing

[Iceman]

He looked proper in agony

[Calderyon]

Neymar injured. Massive blow to Brazil.

[King Gizzard]

Ref is a joke, Colombia robbed

I'm bordering on wanting anyone but Brazil to win now

[King Gizzard]

Great tournament ruined by the winner, most probably

[Drew.]

Money's on Germany

[Calderyon]

Brazil won 2 goals to 1 and advance to the last 4. I´m not sure, have to watch the highlights later, but the ref´s seemed very biased.

[King Gizzard]

Germany won't

[Calderyon]

And i put a bet on the two finalists being Netherlands and Germany before the start of the tournament. It could happen, but it seems that Brazil is really wanted to the final and probably to win the whole thing.

[Brother Leon]

Every ref is going to bottle it against Brazil. Down to Van Gaal to crush these in the final.

[Brother Leon]

Neymar out of the WC. Gutted for him.

Jammy ****ing Germans.

[Jemal]

Ronaldo in 1998 all over again.
Neymar will defo play but he won't be fit and will probably only be picked for his presence and impact it may have on germany

[Brother Leon]

He can't play. His doctor has told him that he can't move for a few weeks.

[MTVN]

Germany are going to win and anyone who doubts them is a mug. Yes you heard me, a mug.

[Drew.]

Apparently it's a broken vertebra so he could be out for quite a while, definitely missing the rest of the WC

[Brother Leon]

Another historic Germany V Holland final.

The bloody Germans will win again too :(

[Iceman]

Love a german win.

[Brother Leon]

Come on Belgium!

[Alf]

Messi will turn it on today

[Drew.]

Higuain!!!!!

[Black Dagger]

I love Vinnie.

But Argentina >>> I love Pab Zab, Aguero and ofc Demichelis more.

[Locke.]

Brilliant finish that

[Jemal]

#FreeAdnan

[Brother Leon]

Bring on Adnan already FFS.

[MTVN]

Not like the Argies to score within the first 90 minutes

[Black Dagger]

Proper fancy Demichelis with his short hair tbh. Won't lie.

[Jemal]

Time for EDEN HAZARD to spark into life

[Jemal]

How can you play fellaini over dembele or even mertens lol.

[Brother Leon]

Fellaini :joker:

[MTVN]

Lukaku on at HT

[Jemal]

I know adnan is only 19 but **** me give him a chance to showcase his potential to the world.

Origi is just going to be another overrated striker who just has pace.
In still wondering why fellaini is even getting game time when dembele and defour are fit.

This coach is probably the worst at picking a suitable starting line up, his subs end up saving his ass

[Brother Leon]

Take off Fellaini and De Bryne. Hell..take them all off bar Kompany and Witsel. All the hype and the have been so dull this tournament.

[Locke.]

Our new fourth choice striker keeping Lukaku out the team.

And Janujaz is not the player to change this game.

[Jemal]

Higuian just ripped overrated kompany to shreds

Btw de bruyne is terrible

[MTVN]

Too easy for Higuain that

[Locke.]

Belgium are undefeated in all 22 games Courtois has played, amazing record that

[Drew.]

Think its time to get Vermaelen on for Kompany

[Brother Leon]

Keep pumping it at Lukaku and Fellaini.

[Brother Leon]

http://a.pomf.se/rvjakq.gif

[Achilles]

http://a.pomf.se/rvjakq.gif

:joker: It's such a great game!

[Jemal]

Chadli for hazard uno..
This manager is so bad

[Brother Leon]

**** off Wilmotts.

[Achilles]

Will be glad to see the back of Belgium. Very dull team

[Brother Leon]

Dreadful teams. Blimey, Argentina can't make the final FFS.

[Achilles]

Manager pacing to keep himself awake :laugh:

[Drew.]

The Germany - Argentina final is still alive

[Brother Leon]

**** match. Time to pray the Dutch prevent Argies from an undeserved final.


Vlaar to lockdown Messi.

[Novo]

RVP needs to recreate Bergkamp 98 v Argentina

[Locke.]

Right, time for Costa Rica to eliminate the Dutch

[Black Dagger]

Demichelis will be putting Van Gaal in place, nothing to worry about.

[Achilles]

How many saves will Keylor Navas make?

[Calderyon]

Didn´t watch the game (fell asleep), but apparently didn´t miss much. Few good opportunities from both, but other than that, nothing much.

Good and very fast first goal from Argentina though. Was it after 20 seconds? Amazing.

[Calderyon]

A finnish ortopedian has said that the x-ray pic of Neymar´s injury might be fake. He says that the the one on the is not vertebra injury, but a spine developmental disorder named spondylosis. He also said that, he has never seen a vertebra in the place that it
was shown to be and said that if the injury was in there, it would never heal.

He added that the only way that kind of injury would occur was in a car accident.

He suggested that the pic might be someone elses or a forgery.

[Drew.]

Right, come on Joel!!!

[Calderyon]

#NED LINE-UP: Cillessen, Vlaar, De Vrij, Martins Indi, Blind, Van Persie (c), Sneijder, Robben, Kuyt, Wijnaldum, Depay

#CRC LINE-UP: Navas, Acosta, Gonzalez, Umana, Borges, Bolanos, Campbell, Ruiz (c), Diaz, Gamboa, Tejeda

[Locke.]

Good old Greece threatened Costa Rica more than Holland have

[Locke.]

Hansen and Ferdinand seem to be forgetting that 99% of Kuyt's games for Liverpool were on the right wing

[Jemal]

How is that foul different to the peno claim.

[Jemal]

KNUCKLE SHOTTY

[Jemal]

I knew he would do that

[Brother Leon]

442 pls

[Legend killer]

Rvp not showing up in a big game SHOCKER

Like Fatty is a cancer we need rid of

[Legend killer]

Don't worry LVG you will have Tony and Ashley at your disposal to break down teams next year michaeljordanlaughing.gif

[Calderyon]

This game is more like a Netherlands vs Keylor Navas/Costa Rica´s defense.

[Alf]

Costa Rica on pens

[Calderyon]

Great freekick from Sneijder there.

[Legend killer]

RVP please retire

[Brother Leon]

RVP spending too much time at the bar with Rio.

EDIT: SEND HIM OFF FFS WTF

[Legend killer]

Lol get hunty on LVG persie is so poor scary thing is he is playing 10x better then he did for us PATHETIC

[Jemal]

Rvp has declined so much in the last year

[Brother Leon]

Costa Rica are so going to win this. Diaz better be off his next foul.

[Locke.]

Diaz to score the winner

[Calderyon]

That last chance for Netherlands. My god!!! Incredible block from Tejeda.

[Legend killer]

Remember when i got hounded for calling rvp a poor finished lol no wonder Danny's finishing has not improved with Robin mentoring him

[Drew.]

Pens are definitely needed

[Jemal]

Diaz to score a Van bronckhorst Goal.

[Locke.]

The Dutch have been eliminated in all four of their World Cup extra-time games (3 losses, 1 PK loss)


Get the tissues ready Leon

[Drew.]

I knew United would only get a year or two max out of Robin before his decline, he pretty much won you your last title so it's not all bad.
