Excellent goal from Morocco

Crazy that im looking forward to this game now. What is this?

Shouldve done it man.

In a way Id love to have Carroll back is he was back in his old form. In a way, the club wanting him back (if all true) might prove that the transfer request melee wasnt as bad as the media put it. I wouldnt pay over the odds for him, but I can also see this as youve guys said an attempt to get him sold to another club for more money giving us the 25% sale on fee, if true. Would be a genius play by Ashley, to try and enter a bidding war for Carroll and then backing off in the end.

It makes him a lot less easy to like though. He might be class, but if he's also a cheat I have a hard time supporting him. Oh absolutely, I do understand the dislike for him, but thats not what I was arguing. His diving doesnt take away his footballing ability or his off the pitch behavior, does it? The thing is he does dive, but what is the most annoying isnt the diving since he does get tackled a fair bit, its the fact that he remains on the floor for hours even after been given a foul. He always exaggerates and that pisses me off to, because we lose time and rhytm whenever he rolls around on the floor. Marcelo is another one who is good at lying on the floor.

Well done.

European have a completely different picture of what Neymar really is. On pitch hes a douche, but his talent allows this and its a way of getting opposition off balance. Off the pitch, Neymar is a very very likeable person. He has matured a lot over the years and always shows respect towards everyone. He has admitted he has a million of miles to go before even being close to Messis quality, he has admitted his mistakes from couple of years back, he has proved over and over again that he wants to stay in Brazil until 2014, had he been an arrogant cunt he wouldve left and taken the money offered in Europe. People really have a different view of Neymar in Europe, mostly because theyve seen shit all and know shit all about South American football. Its like South Americans thinking Terry is an honest person, when he fucks around with teammates wifes and is a racist

In South America, where Pele, Maradona, Zico, Garrincha, and Tevez also achieved a lot. And I do agree he needs to cut down on the diving, but who doesnt dive nowadays? Best team in the world have bunch of divers in their team. Dont see how that has anything to do with footballing ability.

I know Neymar gets a lot of stick around this forum, but his Team and Individual achievements are immense for a 20 year old (wiki). Also reading an article this morning, if he wins the gold he will have done something Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho all failed to do which is winning an Olympic gold. And as being a forward kind of player, not a real striker 9 in 18 in the national team is a very good record. Otherwise Im really looking forward to see Uruguays team, I know their team consists of many players of the team that was brutally raped by Brazil in the South American U-20 Final (6-0 to Brazil, Neymar and Lucas had a show on scoring all but 1 goal). But with that striking force they have the ability to beat anyone in this tournament if their defenders can have a excellent tournament. Suarez - Cavani - Hernandez are all 3 excellent strikers in their own way. Spain and their style of play must mean they are favourites, Mata, Martinez, Isco, Munain are all excellent players. In terms of quality they might not be the best team on paper, but they sure do play like the senior team and will at the least reach a semi final. Then except GB I expect, Switzerland, Mexico and Senegal all to put up a good fight. Mexico are great when it comes to younger teams, and recently won the Toulon Tournament in a fascinating way. Switzerland without Shaqiri still have a good team with Fabian Frei and Benaglio in goal. Senegal as the usual African power team will give a run for the medals, they recently beat both Spain and Switzerland. In all will be a great tournament with some shit matches like the first one today, Morocco and Honduras.

Same happened in Sweden with handball when I think it was Montenegro who were visiting and either Serbia or like Macedonia anthem was played. At least they laughed it off and sang their own anthem without help from the soundsystem around them. But its embarassing you get it wrong on such details ffs. Theres how many involved in this games? Someone should be able to make sure a mistake like that dont happen.

Was bad until Cristiane came on. Her and Marta are easily the most dominant striking force in womens football. Cant believe Cristiane started on the bench, but who cares with the way she has played in the 45 minutes shes played. Been behind all three goals with Marta in the 2nd half.

Its embarassing. Its a disgrace actually. Had to be North Korea too.

Oh wow.

You kidding?

Brazil 2-0 after 10minutes. We sure are the owners of this sport.

Owen to Flamengo Sure...

Decent hit from Lloyd in the US team. Were down 0-2 after 12mins but up 3-2 now in the 2nd half. Fucking frenchies.

Looking forward to the Brazilian womens game, crazy as it sounds but they too play some decent stuff considering the level. Christiane and Marta are excellent technically even if theyre women.

I would be very disappointed if he left.

Been extremely poor ever since he left Palermo.

Roma will be fun, father was hyping Zeman up so much, and its not often he gives any manager praise. Says he followed Zeman many years when he was a manager at Foggia in the 90s and then Lazio. Will be a good season, and Ill predict, Juventus as winner, Roma as top 3 and Pato as top goalscorer. (Zlatan can fuck off, Pato will be back at form, except if he gets an injury during the Olympics )

Who are the comentators on BBC, theyre pure shit ffs.

Olympic team and we can put Ganso and Lucas on

Neil Taylor is shit. No matter what side.
