Oh god. Actually would be quite good since he would get some extra training from all the shots.

I mean, his value is such a weird thing. You cannot put a price tag on Captain Colo. I mean I know he is getting old but he is maybe our most valuable player.

Cech, Cole, Guthrie, Pogrebnyak and Torres © Hoping for decent points at the very least.

Hazard man. 3 assists and 2 penalties won. In FF that be 5 assists. Fucking hell.

Fuck the money being thrown around. £12m for Fletcher, £9m for Dawson and £10m for Jarvis. Fuck is this shit?

Past his best > Ferdinand

So 500 million people can do it on a playstation?

?? Thats a good signing for them. Carvalho - Dawson is a big upgrade on Ferdinand - Gabbidon.

pip man...

Douglas for £4.5m would be fucking excellent. That give him room to be a failure compared to Boumsong for £8m or whatever it was.

Didnt watch the first 10 minutes of the first half. But Hazard wasnt that good for the remaining 35 minutes in the first half. Will come extremely good though this guy along with Oscar and Mata will almost be able to win the league if they can gel fast enough.

FUCKING YEEEEEEES! Just got back from a weekend trip at Fraser Island in Australia. Great fucking news with the win!

Is Ba out? If he isnt I really cant see us playing that lineup, and we definitely shouldnt. Can see it being if Ba isnt out: Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Santon Jonas Cabaye Tiote Marveaux Ba Cisse With the midfield quite fluid expecting it to be 4-3-3 whenever attacking and so on.

Wake up and Pato scores twice in less than a minute. Fucking hell, we will never get rid of Mano like this.

Didnt see the game since Im in Australia and just got internet. All I can say is that I was told by my dad that Mexico were better so congratulations on them. Like I said a loss will feel like gold if Mano is fired from his job. However, if we won a silver and he keeps his job this might the one of the most bitter feelings ever.

You guys played well, the Mackem played really well. But I quite feel sorry as I felt you were a bit hard done by the bad keeper. At the end I think we wouldve won anyways because we just had that extra bit of confidence, but in terms of football it was a very fair game until the 2nd goal like you said.

No, he took the job but wasnt allowed to leave by Fluminenses board. Its Muricy, he has won everything with different teams. 3 Brasileiraos with Sao Paulo, one with Fluminense. 1 Libertadores with Santos. 6 State Championships in three different states. And his team plays good football.

Honestly, he wont have learnt shit. A worse coach is hard to find. How can he not let Lucas start is beyond me. Also, Juan? Would love if Brazil sacked his ass even after winning because we have played shit. Muricy and Felipao Scolari would make this team KO most teams in the world. Mano is a tactical manager, Brazil needs a motivator someone who can push this team to play its very best just like Felipao and Muricy. Two managers who are offensive and love to win. Mano loves to play safe....boring.

Especially if they have Anderson man.

Against Belarus, they scored early on, but we controlled the game. We had the ball and they didnt have more than possibly one chance to score for the remaining 80minutes or so. We were better throughout and this without playing any good football. (Im not suggesting we have played well, completely the opposite, we have been terrible in many ways) but we still have controlled weaker sides. Against Honduras we conceded twice yes, but did you see where the goals came from? I guess not. I mean there is no point in debating anything, everything in that game as far as the referee goes was fair. I think the problem is that you misunderstood me in general: We haven't played well, but we have STILL controlled games. We have an extremely young squad who havent played professional football for more than 3-4 years. We have a terrible coach. We have won by scoring three and rarely looking like losing although we have at times looked like conceding. We have played with a man less for a whole tournament with Juan in the lineup. Our front four have, ESPECIALLY 30mins against Egypt and 30mins against Belarus absolutely run the show and scoring three minutes. If anything we have proven that we can play poorly for 60mins a game and yet win comfortably. Obviously this wont work against stronger oppositions, but against stronger opposition I dont expect us to be so weak in the back and being able to weather a possible storm in a better way since we will have Dede (one of the most dominant center backs to play in Brazil in recent years, him along Thiago Silva is the perfect complement). In all I dont think we are strong favorites to win the World Cup, but with it being played in Brazil I definitely see us along with Spain and Argentina as the favorites. Long way to go, long way to develop, but I do expect us to raise the level when it will be needed the most.

Oh definitely. At times Ive been hoping we would go out in the group stages so he would lose his job. He has no idea what he does and he keeps on calling shit players that favours him and his agent who is the agent of couple of the players. I would love to see him win it and then lose his job. We have Felipao Scolari and Muricy Ramalho who both would take this team to a World Record.

Aye, we havent been very solid for many parts of some games but the biggest problems come from: 1. Juan in the defensive line meaning we seriously have to play with only one central defender. Juan isnt even good enough for League 1 football in England. Thats how bad he is. 2. We have central midfielder in Sandro and Romulo where none of them are excellent in starting attacks and can run with the ball. This is where Ramires fits in so well with this team and Chelsea. 3. Hulk has been terrible and Lucas has deserved his spot yet not gotten it. 4. Our team is one of the youngest in the Olympics and many of them are in the middle of club changes and rumours such as Thiago Silva, Oscar, Leandro, Lucas, Hulk. And lastly, you are WRONG in saying we were made hard work to beat Belarus. In all our games except against South Korea first half, we have been in control of the games. The good thing with this team is when they get going, they GET GOING. We have scored 3 goals in every game without the offense clicking really. Last night was definitely our worst game thus far, because most players stood still and no one really shone, yet we scored three goals and went into the finals. These guys were feeling the pressure, semi-finals in the Olympics is kind of some ghost game for Brazil national mens football. In 96 we lost to Babas team after having been up 3-0. Against Argentina in 2008 we had to play with a man less after Messi and i think it was Riquelme who absolutely ran the show. And I would also say that South Korea did deserve a clear penalty, dont know which the second one is, if you mean when Juan cleared the ball of the Mackems head then you are wrong. But the way the game was panning out it seemed like, and oldtype will probably agree, Brazil would score no matter what because their goalkeeper was shit and also because South Korea seemed to have run out of gas after 35mins.

And we are having our worst game so far in the competition.
