His conditioning looks much better. He’s still one of the slowest people on earth when running, but for the pst two games he’s been running non-stop for 90+ minutes.

It’s hard to say. He’s developing extremely fast right now and been integral to Palmeiras fighting for the title all of the sudden. Probably right below Neymar at his age in the professional and above the likes of Rodrygo and Vinicius. In the youth setup he’s been above all of them from what I understand.

Their manager left for more money and Al-Nassr in Saudi halfway through, and Bruno Lage (ex Wolves) took over and then left all of the sudden as well. Fourth manager right now despite having lead the league for 30 rounds almost. In the game against Palmeiras where Palmeiras turned 3-0 to 3-4 they did have a harsh red card, but they also missed a penalty 3-1 up in the 82nd minute. I can’t imagine going through what their fans have gone through this season

One of the biggest chokejobs ever being done by Botafogo in the Brazilian league. Have topped the league all season and had 14 points cushion with 11 games to go. With two games to go, they’re three points behind Palmeiras. In their last 9 they’ve drawn 5 and lost 4. More remarkably, in three of those draws the opponents have scored in the 90th, 96th and 99th minute. In two of their losses they were up 3-0 and 3-1 and lost 4-3 both times (Luis Suarez 19minute hattrick in the former and in the latter Endrick only recently turned 17 scored twice, and Palmeiras managed to turn 3-1 to 4-3 with goals in the 84th, 90th and 99th). They haven’t won the league since 1995 and it doesn’t look like they’re going to anytime soon either.

So fucking pissed. Haven’t been this pissed because of Newcastle in a long while. What an absolute fucking joke.

That sequence explains why Brazil sucks.

I mean, that balance won’t be found with Diniz who is only there until Ancelotti (supposedly) takes over in June. They’ve decided to not call up Paqueta until the betting investigarions are complete. But yes, him infront of Bruno and Andre would probably be our best midfield for now.

I mean Twitter is divided from what I see and the same in the newspapers. Personally I thought, Bruno and Andre did well, Argentina had 0 shots on target apart from the goal. I don’t know if it was because they looked better than their counterparts comparing to their performance against Colombia. Fwiw, him and Martinelli got the highest rating of all in some newspapers, while others criticized both.

Was really poor against Colombia as Brazils midfield of two was run over by their five midfielders. However, last night he had a much better game, him and Andre (who we should buy) controlled the midfield against De Paul, Enzo and MacAllister and didn’t give Messi any chance on the ball.

Beg to differ. They took hell of a beating. At least Luis Fabiano will be proud.

This is good experience for the young guys. Last time we sucked in the qualifiers we actually won the damn thing.

Worst red card I’ve seen. This ref has been all Argentina all night.

did he?

What a half he’s having.

We got Paqueta after all.

Every little detail in football going our way lately. Lovely.

Wilson for Anderson/Tonali/Longstaff at half time and we will look better.

Dominating us.

Lucky not to be off there.

Luckily for us, he’s been shit for two years now.

Wow. What the fuck happened?

Team looking fantastic.

Had to look at our fantasy matchup to see what you were on about. But I won that.

I mean I’m not watching the game, but Reguilon is shit and so is Kaka.

Clinically insane.
