This pitch is embarrassing. It's like the ACoN

You are forgetting where their manager has went to... Oh wow, forgot about it. It's going to be bad

David Luiz is such a cunt. Could easily be playing for Real Madrid.

Hope it's one of those days for Neymar.

NEYMAR!!!!!!

It's Brazil man, the good grass has been sold to Europe.

Who picked a Portuguese ref for this ? FFS.

Booing Dilma and Blatter :clap:

As expected for Brazil. Hernanes and Lucas to come on for Hulk and Oscar sometime during the 2nd half.

Anyone watching the Confederations Cup inauguration presentation? It's been excellent until now. We are not bad at everything at least

Demonstrations outside the arena that was calm for a while, but now they are starting to get agitated and the cops had to throw smoke bombs to prevent chaos. Fans going into the stadium that have nothing to do with the demonstrations are coughing and feel really uncomfortable with the smoke. Demonstration is against the fact that the stadium would cost R$500m and ended up costing R$1,2bn instead.

They're not getting PEA. No way, if he's going to a German team he's going to end up at Dortmund.

Think it's going to be close, fear we might go in feeling the pressure a bit. 1-1 or 2-1 Brazil here. Not going to be as easy as when we beat them 4-0 a year ago or so.

?? Happens quite a lot, Man U 3-0, Arsenal 4 goals in a half, Brighton beat us, Reading beat us.

BTW today's game is going to put the standard to high for the rest of the tournament in terms of stadium beauty and professionalism. The only stadium until now that is completely ready and really looks and feels like a World Cup stadium, the rest still has stuff to do. Spain and Uruguay are having loads of troubles in Recife for their game tomorrow, lack of organization for the teams and practice facilities. Embarrassing.

Baba, has the Nigerian players stepped onto the plane yet?

Amazing news if true. Like a new signing.

TT will be happy. A foreigner less.

Some use the transfer fee as justification and it's baffling me, I want to watch good players, not cash in the bank. Well it's not a justification but it's how the market works and the sooner you realize that the better you'll be off mentally. I don't like selling our best players but I won't complain if we get a decent fee (up towards the £20m) but I will if we don't spend a bit of it to replace him.

What a load of nonsense. Stifler must be fishing.

I'm shocked, never saw him leaving (if the story being run is true after all) this summer. Great player who has been one of our top performers over 2 seasons even if this season wasn't as good as the one before. We will really miss him, a player like him doesn't grow on trees for cheap money. If the fee is anything below £20m...

I've seen him once or twice so won't say anything except I'm not sure why someone would pay €10m for someone who is horrendous as well as having 73 games for Lyon and 17 for his national side.

Isn't he quite a good player? Seems like a definite upgrade on Hooiveeld or whatever the Richard Dune mkII is called.

Made me laugh more than it should.
