BRASIL LIXO

muitos 'SUICIDIOS' em 2014

---brazil outplayed by england
---argies looked good
---portugal rocked by ecuador
---'shock' defeat in france by germany
---usa lost, mexico drew with jamaica

Think Brazil regrets encouraging some of the stars on the team to stay in Brazilian league until the World Cup??



Why is Willian not getting called up? they'd rather have Ronaldinho's old ass in there?

Its fukkin criminal that the best Brasilian midfielder Hernanes cannot even make the squad. If Big Phil thinks he can win the WC while fielding Bucky then they fukked. 5-10 years ago you could get away with allowing 2-3 passenger players but now everyones got to defend.

Fernandinho should be walking into that midfield too.

John Terry will miss Saturday's match at home to Wigan with an inflamed knee.

And scarface after that its all bit of a mystery and Valbuena never cracked 10 for a season so i dont know if you could consider him a reliable option like Djorkaeff was back in the day

Ya right, but back in the day, we had strikers, now we don't have a proper 9, that's all. It's been while since the Ligue 1's top scorer was french.

As for 9's, well we have Gomis (who I personally like) but I'm not sure he can be world class. We also have Gignac (Marseille) who can truly be deadly upfront but dude is too lazy and loves food way too much (a kind of food Gascoigne). Rémy could have helped but he's not clinical AT ALL and he's now in QPR.
There were also Hoarau (ex-PSG) but he's now in China and lost confidence.
Gameiro could have been crazy but he should play more for PSG to be noticed for the NT. He's a true "fox in the box" (PES slang) and has great speed. He just need time to play and get his confidence back.

We'll maybe have Alessandrini soon who was really shining in the first half of Ligue 1, scoring incredible goals à la Papin. He has just been noticed by Deschamps so maybe in the future.

And we have good prospects (Cabella, Ben Yedder, Lacazette, Niang...) but at the moment we only have Giroud as a true 9.

The times when we were dominating leagues in scoring is over : in 2002, we had Trezeguet (Serie A), Henry (EPL) and Cissé (Division 1). And we didn't even passed the rounds at the WC in Korea.
Now we don't have "anybody", that's life.

[...]
Just look at the players they have used and amount of goals the team has

at the current leading scorers for a national team having 15 and 11 respectively

or 126 caps 26 goals.

That would be a good career record for a international midfielder

outside of Ribery and Benzema (and that is lower end), they dont have another player I would consider World Class.

That is atrocious.

Why you gotta do us like that...

After watching the Germany game with a mate, we played some games at FIFA and the Brazil squad is ridiculous speed-wise... Dude was playing a 4/4/2 wich was kind of 4/2/4 considering his wingers position and that Lucas - Neymar - Pato - Hulk attacking line is scary

















That Germany's midfield prevented him to provide them balls though

 

[yoyoyo1]

Rangers offering full support to Juventus who're coming over. Facilities and the like.

Now that's what I'm talking about

Every Brazilian attacker in that game is overrated as fukk. And the fullbacks are ridiculous too, you can't get past Marcelo or Dani Alves, if you do they catch up to you inevitably.

It's just a shame they are all a bit shyt in real life, being coddled by nike and made into goofy Brazilian caricatures. That c*nt Neymar has done more in a studio in front of a camera than he has on the pitch. Hulk's good season came under AVB, and has been anonymous since so that sums him up. Pato never consistent.


Haven't seen Lucas play yet, but the hype is already staggering.

 

[yoyoyo1]

Adebayor missed the flight Spurs set up for him. Brilliant

This with AVB trying to cover like Ade didn't disobey him and the whole team by staying a bunch of extra days talking about "everyone else is coming back from intl duty on Friday anyway? .... " now what excuse will he have?

Can't do the shooting excuse again so his watch was off

I know Lucas is a real nicca. His line is always sharp.

Porto looked out Porto and were @ Hulk's career. Same shyt with Witsel(and Benfica). Never understood why Hulk signed a new contract at Porto after that great season under AVB. Luckily for Falcao Atletico Madrid is going through financial problems and is always looking to sell.


Wanting to repay Porto's faith? Porto sold him to highest bidder regardless

More $$$ in a transfer fee or his agents. Agent probably told him and he did it.
