How is that deserved? Been absolute shite this. Both teams should be sent home.

not a yellow

Only once tonight tbf to him. But yeah hes a genius at getting away with it.

Don't be so sure. He comes from Argentina. A country known for it's racism. But yeah, Cambiasso seems like a gentleman

Brazil changes, TSilva in for David Luiz and Firmino in for Tardelli. Great changes imo. Wanted Fred for Douglas Costa as well, but I guess Fred has really impressed in training and just had a bad game against Chile. Loving these changes from Dunga, especially reinstating Thiago Silva back in after having a great spring for PSG and David being pretty poor against Peru.

Brazil v Colombia in two hours

Who?

I think a lot of the people saying he's overrated or inconsistent are forgetting he's 20 years old. Inconsistency is standard for a player of that age. I'm more interested in his moments of brilliance and his high points, which, so far, have been higher and more frequent than any other 20-year-old in world football. The only comparable player is José Gayá. Obviously that means that he could be one of the best players in the world. He's already been (by quite some distance) the best player for a major footballing nation in a World Cup, as a teenager. He's also been poorly handled by Liverpool, but more as a symptom of how poorly Liverpool have handled losing Suárez; effectively piling a lot of the responsibility for goal and chance creation on him. I think it's legitimate for him to worry about Liverpool's ability to compete, but I also think Man City would be the wrong choice. To fulfil his potential, he needs a team with a more stable and consistent tradition of competing, a playing identity, a better manager and intelligent, disciplined and talented teammates. Basically one of Europe's actual top teams: Bayern, Barcelona, Real Madrid. It'd be a massive waste otherwise. Hakan Calhanoglu at Bayer has had two fantastic season both for club and national team and is rumoured to be valued at half of that and isn't at last year of contract.

Not in todays absolute fucking crazy market. These sums are so ridiculous. £30m used to buy you one of the best in the world, now it buys an above-average player.

When have I said that?

Ah right, than the majority is right

No one thinks that he'll be that good though. Also I don't see how he's overrated when the majority seem to hate him Thought most on here thought £40m is a fair price? Sure if he had 4 years left on his contract.

Think people here really overrate the guy. Sure if he fulfills his potential he could be a very good player, but will he ever be one of the best in the world? Highly doubt it. As inconsistent as Coutinho.

Bit OTT Definitely deserves a lengthy suspension. Been arguably Chile's best player thus far and he's cost his teammates and country dearly. I just find it disgraceful Obviously had it been Neymar I wouldn't have banned him.

Brazil v Serbia in the u20 WC final. Brazil beat Senegal 5-0 and Serbia Mali 2-1

Arturo Vidal is a moron. Hope he's banned for life from national team. Way to represent and respect your teammates and nation.

Really undecided about him, he's hilarious but so fucking annoying at the same time.

So f***ing boring. Making Jamaica look like a top-tier team given the way they're sitting in their own half. Don't even look like doing that we've-been-bad-but-let's-get-a-second-goal-to-make-it-look-comfortable thing that favourites often do. Brazil like this. We're shit, but we definitely don't sit back.

Firminos agent said he's going to the PL. Seems to be between Liverpool and the Manchester clubs. Hope it's him at Liverpool with Coutinho. Could be an interesting pair.

Paraguay are shit.

:lol:

Fell asleep before the 2nd game, was it good? Or just plenty of goals? Even if those two are usually correlated. Genuinely mint. I didn't actually think Chile were that good in the first game but they played some incredible stuff yesterday, no idea how they only scored 3. Mexico were ruthless with their chances. Hope Paraguay somehow bangs them in tonight against Jamaica and doesn't lose to Uruguay in the last game.

Thought about the Mackems colours as well. Mackems and Sports Direct colours. What a PR disaster this could turn out to be, amirite Kaka?

Subtle Sports Direct advertisement. They want those colours to be pleasing to the eye, to forget all about the horrors of Mike Ashley.
