Going to be on the bench in uniform apprently. Said it's his choice and he wants to finish what he started with his teammates. Great attitude in my opinion. Could've easily just f***ed off instead of taking all the responsibility that he has in the last few days. What a guy! What a hero! Just think that unlike some players and the coaching staff that has gone hiding he has at least gone out and taken on the responsibility to be the face of the failure despite not having been on the pitch. It's a 22 year old who didn't crumble under pressure and carried the side until he was kicked to bits by a Chilean defender. I understand if you're unable to see past your hatred towards the kid though.

I don't agree, Maicons game against Colombia was the best fullback performance for this side in the whole tournament. And the best player I saw for our u17 team was Auro, a right defender that is already compared to Dani Alves and plays for Sao Paulo. Hopefully he can keep on developing as he showed a lot of promise.

I've never seen Brazil play this so There's a first for everything I guess. Although I'm starting to get excited for it, time for the team to prove everyone that it was just a freak accident, although I wouldn't be surprised to see us lose by 3 or 4 since the team seems completely down.

? Our best right back, had an excellent game against Colombia.

Although I think for Brazil it's more about Julio Cesar playing his last game for the national side and not letting him personally get the chance to leave this on a high. Hopefully he gets his bronze-medal and isn't only remembered for the 2010 WC and the 7 goals conceded earlier this week. Glad to see Scolari gave Maxwell a chance which means everyone except Victor and Jefferson will have played.

Julio Cesar; Maicon, DavidLuiz, ThiagoSilva, Maxwell; Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho; Ramires, Oscar, Willian; J

Can't this shit just finish in a draw? Such a depressing game to watch before a ball has even been kicked.

I can. For me it's 50/50. Argentina have been boring, but extremely solid. Read an article on how they remind of Brazil 94 side and they really do. Depend on Messi as we did on Romario and are defensively very solid. There's reason to claim they've been boring, but on the other hand pretty much every side have parked the bus against them. Could be different tomorrow night. Fair enough, but I don't think every team has parked the bus tbf, I think that going forward they really depend on Messi and he's been nullified for almost 89mins every game.

Post-World Cup depression has really hit in. Know there's two games left, but I don't want to go back to relying on Newcastle every weekend to find some sort of enjoyment from this sport. Been such a fantastic month.

Apart from the last two times? Cannavaro got it in 2006 no? But yeah Forlan deserved it last time though, was excellent.

Muller or Messi depending on who wins most probably.

Watching this WC, I've come to the conclusion, that I must have made up the rule about the official needing to come from a different confederation than the teams playing in my head. Obviously, not the case for European teams. It was a rule until Nishimuras opening game performance.

Aye I know, but if it wasn't for Kanji I'd genuinely think the guy is stuck in the 20s. Calling other the worst types of human beings while he portrays himself on here as a type of superhero that deals with everything thorugh brute force and size of biceps. Dr Semtex, the vertebrae that Neymar broke, the L3 is couple cm's away from nerves that could've potentially kept him in a wheel-chair. I'm not questioning the physical distance between where he was kneed and any specific nerves, I'm questioning the existence of the magical instant-paralysis spot. And the notion that what saved his precious legs was God nudging the knee a little further up to save precious little Neymar. If he was any more self-indulgent, he'd be an individual sachet of Cadbury's highlights wispa gold hot chocolate. What are you on about?

What in the actual fuck? I think they do as long as they buy a RB and a CB. However, if he's bought and those two positions aren't improved they might be in trouble. Sanchez is a good player and had an excellent season, but his best football came with Messi out of the team and so did Pedros. Think Suarez won't have any problems adapting next to Neymar and Messi.

Reckon it might end up being a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth imo. Possibly, but all three are team players when they want too. The three best SA footballers in the same team. Going to be glorious. Hopefully.

Individual sports is one thing, however Jordan isn't the undisputed best, there are arguments for players like Lebron to be considered the best as well. Not that I think anyone comes close to Jordan, but some people argue that. I just think in individual sports it's easier to proclaim someone the best while in a team sport it's a bit more complex.

Neymar - Messi - Suarez

Think Semtex was joking, not sure, but Ronaldo is a massive hardman so he'll never respect someone that feels pain. Probably grew up with the Spetsnaz.

And Mascherano actually tore his fucking anus? :lol: How the fuck did he manage that?
