Just came back from Allianz Arena and never imagined I'd see 11 goals. Also gave Kroos thumbs up after the game when he was walking to his car and he looked at me like I was some sort of weirdo And I kept taking pictures of some random car with a guy in thinking it was Ribery

I'd liked us to go in with a game plan other than the usual scoreless draw plan we always seem to approach when we play away from SJP. It's beyong ridiculous people suggesting that it's the lack of players available that has got us in this mess. I'm sorry but under Pardew we have had no plan offensively ever whatsoever, and what happens when you're most creative outlet is out? Well then you're fucked as your manager is beyond average...

Anyone was expecting that though, we are incredibly negative. I know it's City but come on, how often does a team get a scoreless draw against a top side, we seem to set up for the 0-0 every single away game. It's beyond ridiculous now.

Terrible tackle that So late from Anita, not dangerous, but just clumsy

Those games are ridiculous. La Paz, Quito, Lima, Mexico City. Just fuck off.

Ribery might seem like a me, me, me guy, but man does he work hard for his team. Workhorse for most parts. I like him, and anyone saying he's past it is out of their minds. And Mole, you think Argentina and Italy have settled? I agree with Brazil not having settled at all, we look extremely disjointed at the moment, but we are performing on level with Argentina and Italy at the moment, yet you seem to think they have settled teamwise?

Another decent/ok performance from Brazil. Too many rough spells at different times and some individual performances that go on and off at random times. In any case we seem to be improving for every game at least under Scolari and will just need some consistency going forward. Confederations Cup will do wonders.

Best spell I've seen from Hulk ever. (5minutes )

We have looked decent during spells, but the team lacks midfield, lacks a striker. If we can get Ramires to form a good midfield partnership with someone and hope Pato revives this year in Brazil I think we might be set come 2014, but as things look now we won't get quarterfinals at a maximum. Surely the aim has to be, to win the World Cup? Obviously that's always the aim...for any team. You need to watch Newcastle more. I watch enough of us to think Brazil is playing decent...

That goal

Marcelo just takes the piss of the Russian time and time again.

Fair enough that he is learning the game, unfortunately at times he plays like he was Ronaldinho at his late 30s. He's a very very good player, but with this type of play he's just going to be another Robinho or something along those lines. A very good player but never top 10...

But that goes for most players though, doesn't it?I mean Messi has scored quite a lot of his international goals against Brazil U-23 team (his last hattrick), Venezuela, Switzerland etc. Aye probably but I reckon if Brazil had played WCQ instead of those friendlies his record wouldn't be quite so impressive. Can only score against what's infront of you though. I actually believe the opposite, a fair amount of games against the defenders he is used to absolutely humiliating whenever he played in the Libertadores? I'd put money on him scoring the most goals in a WCQ tbf. More than Messi, because the defenders in South America are a bit less patient than European defenders, and Neymar uses that against them.

I'd actually say in some way it's a bit of the otherway around, he needs to fuck off tracking down and getting the ball and wanting to controll the game by making the play tick. Just stay upfront and wait for the ball to use the skill and pace he has.

Broke R9s record for goals for Brazil in first 25 games plus more assists, but aye..... Anyway back to the game, i see Brazil are trying to use the wings and crossing a lot to by pass Russia's pressing game interesting to see how it develops. There was a good bit on this week's World Football Phone In where Vickery said in the last 15-20 years it's almost like Brazil have forgotten how to play through the midfield and have become overly reliant on their full-back play. It's a fair point actually as in the middle of the park they tend to not keep hold of the ball as much as Brazil teams of the past. We haven't developed a good midfielder since Dunga basically. Gilberto Silva and Emerspn were good in the beginning of 2000 but since we haven't had a good one. Lucas, Sandro, Fernando, Fernandinho are all average footballers...

Neymar man...fuck back off to Santos youth team

Neymars lost the plot man, wtf is he doing all the time. Reminds be of Ronaldinho 2006. Can fuck back off to Brazil with that play.

Came in here to say that the two best national anthem in the world were just played. The Russian is immense.

Came in here to post that exact same thing. What a surprise

Drew. You can't draw against Finland. It's a loss
