Flip

This round I got Shaqiri 7, Valbuena 11, Di Maria 8, Özil 4, Hazard 8 My defense is the one scoring points.

Nein. Valbuena scored and had an assist and he got 11p. Di Maria was terrible and got 8.

GTFI DIABLES ROUGES! Brazil v Belgium in the finals please.

You see, this I agree 100% with. Although he's definitely not been exempted from criticism, he's been getting loads of them in Brazil. It's just that if I'm not wrong, Alves criticized Shearer for saying he's not good enough of a player. Fred should definitely and is getting criticism for his start to the tournament, but I find it extremely hard to criticize a players career for two games. I mean, it's like pundits from other countries criticizing Rooneys career based on two games at this World Cup. Therefore I agree with Dani on that Shearer's comments were absurd. No doubt, he has to perform for us to stand a chance at the World Cup and without him we have no reference up top which has been visible. The last string of hope I'm holding on to is that he loves the big games. He won't score against smaller teams but will score on the big occasion.

How many games have you seen him play Santoon?

Disagree, he's been s*** this season. But a good few years is pushing it, he was brilliant against Spain in the Confed Cup last year and basically locked down Iniesta. Even if he has, a Dani Alves past his sell by date is still better than 95% of fullbacks around. He's been so bad this season, I've been hoping he wouldn't get picked for the WC. He's starting now which is actually pulling us back, I agree with him on that, but to say that one of the best right backs of all times who's won everything on club level and played with the worlds best for many many years has no say in this is ridiculous.

Yes he is, if you watch the last Confederation Cups he's the boss of pressing (something we've been lacking this World Cup, don't know where the intensity pressing that easily beat the Euro's finalists has gone). Together with Thiago Silva and David Luiz he's considered the captains of the team, he's a vocal presence on the pitch together with David Luiz while Thiago is the one that provides the calmness and the mouth only when needed.

Depends if los ticos qualify as first or 2nd. Anyone getting Costa Rica should really be aiming for quarterfinals at the very least despite Costa Rica having been a surprise.

You really think they deserved a draw? Never seen a team want it less than Bosnia, glad they're going home, most uninspiring and disappointing team for me in the World Cup. Expected much more from them.

I agree with you're second part as I think Maicon and other deserved a spot ahead of him. But overrated cheat? Probably one of the best right backs to play this game in his peak. Was a big reason to why Barcelona was so good, and I doubt we'll see any rightbacks reaching 20+ assists in a season again. Fred isn't picked on reputation either, he's picked because he's a leader on the pitch and has been great for the national team until recently when he's been dealing with injuries. 35 games, 17 goals is better than most strikers in this World Cup (and he's mostly scored against the best sides as he's a big game player) Stop talking out of your ass. Maybe has to do with Shearer being one of the best players to grace the game? No one cares what pundits say unless they're a respected ex-player. Do ex Brazil players become pundits Flip? If so who and are they respected as pundits? We have some. Falcao is an excellent pundit, but also down to being an extremely intelligent player. Casagrande and Junior are decent as well, Ronaldo is trying to do his job but isn't as succesfull. Have some horrible ones. The problem in Brazil is that the ones that are realy horrible are the ones that have never touched a ball in their lifes. There's so many you want to rip their head apart the ex-players usually know something at least.

He was s*** tbf Funny when you play centre backs at left back like. Spahic wasn't left back, he was centre half. Lulic was left back in the first half and the guy who came on for him was left back for the rest. Lulic was equally s**** to be fair but he is a midfielder . Spahic played centrally and was the worst player on the pitch along with that Besic kid. Animal. Anyways, was actually feeling a bit sorry for Bosnia until the last 30mins or so, never seen a team so passive in the search for an important goal. What a horrible bunch of players. Spahic, Lulic, Besic, Dzeko, Pjanic, Misimovic etc. no one gave a f*** about actually try to win the game.

The same Fred who looked poor against Japan and Mexico in the Confed and then embarrassed defenders like Chiellini and Pique? It does my head in when pundits analyze players based on two games. He's been poor and everyone knows it, but he's not a poor striker.

Excellent game, but Klose close to ruining this day for me...

How many men have you meated? I fucking laughed uncontrollably for a few mins there. fucking hell.

Ghana been impressive, just hope they don't resort to long shots like against the US soon.

Dani Alvesa huge fan of Shearers latest comments.

Haghighi only got 7 pts, and Benaglio got 14 last night. What the f***ing f***ing is this. Only 7? He played full minutes and had at least 8 saves I think? That's at least 13p. Somethings not done with the points there I believe.

They're always aids tbf. It's just that they played the best striking force in the world and actually had excellent chances the other way. Ultra-defensive that had far better chances to win the game? Come on. Tit. Surprised you spelled that right That comeback is sooo 2012 Flip, try harder please. lol @ this hater He's right though. Was undeserved. Brazilian giving an opinion on a Argentina game #expertMole giving his opinion on any game.

lol @ this hater He's right though. Was undeserved. So f***? Give me that finish over it ending 0-0 and everybody patting on the head. Wondergoal last minute heartbreaks are great. Nah give me four teams yet to qualify rather than Argentina already qualifying. Hope Bosnia win so I get a fantastic game on wednesday when I go back to Fonte Nova to watch Iran v Bosnia. Howay Nigeria.
