No, Felipao, you get it wrong. What I mean is the quality of players, not their performance. Even with Thiago Silva and Neymar, the statement still stands - Germany is much, much stronger than Brazil. Brazil has no more playmaker once Neymar's done, while Germany is putting a 35m rated Gotze firmly on the bench. Looking back, the only way for Brazil to win was to do a "Mourinho Bus". My question, or my point is, would you, a die hard supporter for the Yellow, accept such tactic on your home ground? Scolari "got it super wrong" by trying to overpower Germany purely by emotion and home pressure and was spectacularly backfired. The sad thing is probably he has no choice because no one can accept Brazil to play anti-football, which I think is the only way for Brazil to win last night.

Different perspective I would say. What I observed was Germany was inviting Brazil to attack in order to make more effective counters. That was Germany's tactic, and it worked --- Brazil seemed to have the control, but it was Germany which apparently had higher chance to score. To be fair, Felipao, it was a no match. It is not a shame to accept the fact that Germany outclassed Brazil in nearly EVERY position.

no riots yet?

Would Felipao suicide?

I really cannot give Wilmots any credit for THAT performance against Argentina. The team is totally broken and disjointed. No communication, no movement, no chemistry. Fair play to say "well done to achieve the target", but it is simple: would you welcome Wilmots to be your manager? The answer is fucking straight forward isn't it?

hmmm....to be honest, is there any other team interested in Cabella? For 12~15m? Whilst I understand why they ask for this price, I wonder other than us is there any potential buyers?

Juventus won't replace Buffon this summer yet. Milan and Inter 100% wont meet Ashley's demands. Napoli just got Andujar. Athletic Madrid has no money to spend. No way they will spend over the odds on GK when they desperately need a striker. IMO very likely Krul will stay 1 more year with us.

Not until Lolris back to France. Cant see any other top teams need Krul to be honest, except Liverpool, or Barca once ter Stegan proves to be a flop.

This is THE replacement. Bye cabella and grenier

We are obviously heading to relegation unless we sign a couple of players asap, so obvious that even Ashley must know this. What is he thinking now?

Shola to score the wnner at 90.

To have no money to spend for 8 yrs, whilst maintaining Champions League qualification, was an awesome achievement.

14m for Townsend is fair. 14m for Zaha is a robbery.

webb is fine this match

We should start supporting Gateshead.

To be fair, he deserves to be on the pitch, for that Nation.

The best match so far, fucking hell.

Back to tennis I say, tennis expert. They just lost to Costa Rica, they almost didn't qualify for the World Cup and their defense is on the decline. They have Suarez and Cavani and that is seriously all. Pretty sure Uruguay will prove you real wrong this tournament. Lets see then.

you have to judge by looking at the results but not only on teamsheet ffs.

You all massively underrated Uruguay. They are the winner of Copa South America, and 4th place in WC2010. Their defense are one of the best in the world, and their counter attack with Suarez are lethal. Their system has been running well for a few years, and the player they have are at their peak as well except Forlan. They are even stronger than Brazil imo.

Uruguay is the best team in South America. Italy wad the runner up in Euro 2012. It isnt a shame to bow out in group stage losing to these two. In fact I think England played a lot better than in the past. give the team some respect.

i wonder what his reputation is within the football industry if no club wants him at the age of 27.

Sterling is playing well. he is the only player that can thrive in the middle due to his technique and movement. Barkley isnt good enough for this level yet.

PEA didnt perform well, so as Mkhitaryan. I am not surprised that they will be sold this summer.

This World Cup is brilliant
