Welcome to the club mate, why do you think I'm even here?

For the first 15 minutes my brain was telling me I was watching Italy x England

Please get well soon, Brasil doesn't have a midfield without you!

As a brazilian I'd like to say that he is finally playing for country consistently as well as he plays for club. Ancelotti did wounders for him.

No surprise but bruno assisted two balls that went to the post already

I said it on my very first post here, it's like he has the triangle button of PES/Fifa with'in his feet

I coudn't watch the match because of some how can I say "home owners association" drama, but as far as I could tell from the extended highlights this was the first match that bruno really showed what he can do on a yellow shirt (and I'm not even talking about the goal)

For a brief moment I though that you were recomending that Eddie should go for Kane

I hate fluminense for club reasons, that said, I'm also hating myself because this is the 3rd time I'm rooting for them in the CWC I should be rooting for Lodi, he's from our youth system, his breakout season was the same as Bruno's

I lived to see Renight Gaúcho taking fucking FLUMINENSE with FABIO aged 44 in goal to a quarter final in a club wc over inter, now I fell I've seen everything in football

Fabio!

Fabio used to play with Ronaldinho in Gremio's youth academy Also, Ganso was hailed as the better prospect when compared with Neymar in the 2010 Santos, but that was before his knee ligaments gave up on life AND Fluminense won the second to last Libertadores with Felipe Melo, Marcelo, Fábio and Ganso on their squad

I honestly don't agree with "all" the best, we have talents like Estevão, Arrascaeta, Igor Jesus, and even Raphael Veiga that would start for most prem teams, also, Palmeiras right now is a more expensive team than Porto for example and they don't come close to Flamengo in money, Argentinians like Boca and River will always be tough on "Catimba" and grit alone, but the top BR teams would contend for Europe in most of the top 5 leagues. BTW, Fluminense is a joke in Brazil, they had a lucky spell under Diniz, they also are famous for being relegated on the pitch but not on the league, Botafogo is more of a joke than Tottenham/Arsenal in Brazil in the sense that they just choke everytime since garrincha, they broke that spell last year EDIT: About the calendar, I would LOVE for FIFA to unify it, there has been discussion in making seasons in Brasil like the european ones for at least over a decade EDIT: I'm a few pints in, sorry for the bad grammar, not my first language

Well, about the advantage, the oposite has also been true for decades, in the anual intercontinental cup, south american teams would arrive after a 70+ matches season for the tournament while europeans would be mid-season. People will always find excuses, honestly, all bad details aside, I'm just glad to have a "world cup" for clubs like this, this should be really fun for anyone who loves football, specially if this becomes a long living cup EDIT: My team lost the final that gave Flamengo this spot, Fucking dumb CB dived from behind at a Flamengo player on the sideline and got a red card out of nowhere, cost us that game

I'm surprised that none of you are talking about the armlock a bald colombian staff made on a Uruguai player before all the crowd stuff even happened
