Zlatan "8 straight titles in 3 different countries with 4 different clubs" Ibrahimovic. Didn't Juve cheat one of those titles, didn't he win with Inter who had no competition and didn't he win with Barcelona who had Messi, Xavi and Iniesta who are better than him. Funny two of the teams he played with won the treble/double as soon as he left

Sewelly and Mike gets a Shak gets a FUCK U Nah seriously, I do agree that diving shouldn't exist but it also depends on the circumstances in my opinion. Too much principles involved from fans, but if you play football yourself you should know (well if you're good enough) that if you get tackled time after time you'll explode and I find it far better to deal with it by diving and trying to get the cunt sent off than being a shithead myself and trying to injure him. Rivaldo couldve retaliated by going at it, but its far more intelligent to do what he did. You don't always need to use your hands

Sewelly loves the two most pointless strikers of all time Bendtner and Zlatan.

Watch that whole match instead of watching stuff on youtube. You watch youtube you get Nacho Gonzalez you watch the whole thing you get me Rivaldo's dive against Turkey was one of the most pathetic, wimpiest things I've ever seen on a football pitch. There's absolutely no defending it, I don't care if the Turks were killing his family one by one in the stands. I'll leave it at that, you probably think thats more pathetic than Barton snapping at Gamst Pedersen or other players blatantly trying to injure players.

Will be interesting to see will he play next to Barrios?

Deffo. Like someone said, we get cover for leftback and already have a replacement for Routledge.

Watch that whole match instead of watching stuff on youtube. You watch youtube you get Nacho Gonzalez you watch the whole thing you get me They were if everyone were honest, what I was arguing is to that its relatively stupid to call the Brazilian cheats and not the American who were doing the same. Wambach did the same Erika did and I was also pointing it out that it happens every day, why make make such a big deal when you see it happening every weekend? Like I said, calling ONLY the brazilian cheats is only telling half the story.

Type "Brasilien vs USA - Peinliche Showeinlage von Erika" into your favorite tube. Also, bare in mind that this is just one example of outright disgusting cheating in a web of many that they spun throughout the match. You're going to have to work really hard to spin that one, Felipao! I saw some pundit discussion before the tournament started where one pundit was trotting out the cliche about women's football being more honest, less diving etc etc. The co-pundit (an ex-player I think) told him that he clearly hadn't seen Brazil play. Not really though, find it funny, because when Venezuela was doing the same against Brazil no one complained. I find it funny that the whole world are always trying to find cheats that Brazil do staying blind to their own cheats. 2002 everyone complained about Rivaldos diving yet people didn't watch the rest of the game and saw that the referee had missed to send off the Turkish player for fouling and kicking Rivaldo the whole match. Yesterday Brazil should've played 11 against 9 and then we would never have had this discussion because the number 10 (Lloyd?) made a de Jong tackle and only got a yellow. 20 minutes later she stops the counter-attack with her arm but the referee tried to stay nice. Erika did w/e to gain time, but that happens every single game, and US did the exactly same thing yesterday, at one point Wambach was lying down crying and got two brazilian players booked for then to start running as soon as Marta was booked. Ridiculous that some people are blind when it comes to their own national team, I admit Brazil got bad calls in their favor, but to start calling them cheats when it happens to every single important game is ridiculous, its part of todays game whether you like it or not.

They are ugly as hell, but cheats?

Red card harsh? Are you fucking real man? Come on open your eyes, it was stupid to make that challenge but Marta was through alone on goal. Then I honestly think the decisions were shit for both sides and therefore it was probably ok that the US won. But the US should've been with 9 women, since that number 10 made an awful tackle and only got a yellow and then stopped a counter attack on purpose with her arm and didn't get anything. All in all, Brazil were stubborn and have only themselves to blame though.

Agreed, I'd also put Peru there as they have 4 points and I didn't even expect them to get more than one.

That Porto one is unbelievably class.

Good game, feel bad for the Brazilian players but were shit decisions allround. US shouldve had that number 10 sent of early in the first half, and Brazil should never have gotten that 2nd goal since it was offside. Anyone complaining about the penalty is deluded. Clear penalty and masterclass from Marta.

There are only two players who really deserve to be in the squad and are not, and those are Marcelo and Hernanes. Marcelo deserves only to play due to his footballing abilities, but he did a mistake of leaving the squad in a friendly saying he was injured to then send an e-mail to the wrong person (was meant to go to Real Madrid) saying he was fine and he'd be there as soon as they booked ihm a flight ticket. Mano of course got pissed and he probably won't get called up for a long long time. Hernanes got a red-card against France and since then he's been unlucky not to get called up especially since he's been the heart and soul of the Lazio midfield this season that has overachieved.

Another ridiculous post. After two competitive matches? How about the side that won 2004 and was equally bad for the two first CA games, how about Dungas team who lost to Mexico 2-0 in the first match and still ended up winning everything and that was terrible in the olympics. This is the youngest team we've had in ages, let them gel for a year or two and then we'll talk.

Alright, even if you don't agree with them having good games which is quite surprising. However, I do agree that Lucas Leiva cannot be at the heart of a good football tea and we do have better central midfielder in especially Sandro who I've been impressed this season. But Lucas has been excellent this far as hes succeeded being the invisible wall. We'll see, Ramires needs to get back to his old, since it looks like the British football has once again destroyed a promising Brazilian player.

The incompetence of some posts are ridiculous. First of all binssy, your post is correct until you use the two worst examples today since Lucas L and Ramires were 2 of possibly 3 or 4 players who had a decent game. Then I find it quite ridiculous to call Neymar the new Robinho, Neymar is Neymar and Robinho is Robinho. People tend to forget that until 2nd year at City Robinho was class and was for the first half in his first season at City one of the best players in the league. Neymar had a terrible day allround but has the incredible talent, doubt clubs would bid £45 million for him otherwise. Then I find it funny Ganso who has not the fitness since he's been injured for a long while, is decisive today with 2 assists and had it not been for Neymar being terrible he'd have had possibly 3 assists. And yet gets criticized. Messi, Neymar, Sanchez none of them have lived up to the hype, doesn't really mean they're bad players does it. Oh, and the f***ing fields they're playing on is as bad if not worse than how they played today.

Not yet, it will take off soon though. Be ready for some explosions next week. Let the team gels

He's daft.

Neil is all excited.

Ref has been pretty bad, can't control the game and the players are getting at it pretty hard sometimes to be honest. Real tough battle.

Paraguay v Ecuador and then Chile v Mexico were decent. But its really been terrible, we're becoming more European here in South America wanting to play all defensive and shit. Think we'll see more goal in the next stage when the shit teams are eliminated.

You actually watched it, Mike your a goddamn fool man. You follow the Knicks and watch Bolivia against Costa Rica u23.

Yes. Why is it funny? Because Neymar really isn't a badboy. Badboys are players such as Barton (well used to be), Edmundo, or other players who do stuff on and off the pitch. Neymar doesn't fall in this category. It's a joke that a kid like Neymar, who is a family guy and does stupid things on the pitch such as provoke other players gets accused of being a badboy. Neymar is off the field a quiet boy who has never gotten in problem off it. All his problems have been on the field. He's a cunt at times, but people forget he's barely 19 and has never done anything to deserve being called a badboy. His problems are on the pitch and like Sewelly says he's a little prick not a badboy not someone who comes late to training and doesnt care about teammates. He's very professional in that sense that he does everything for his team bar what happened with Dorival when at Santos, his problems lies most at not being mature and its funny watching the international cover of the kid since they seem to know shit all, especially the Spanish newspapers.

Heard that Neymar has gotten a badboy image in Barcelona. That the newspapers thinks hes a bad boy, is that true? Pretty funny if thats the case.
