Flip Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Wow, we are both shit. Just got back from Maracana, and while we might have looked much better on the ball we have nowhere near the attacking intent that we need. England got two chances and put them away, loved both of your goals, the tempo was completely another to our team. Was some good goals around but other than that it was a typical friendly. Also, Rio de Janeiro has a shit load to learn, almost didn't get into the stadium, as our printed tickets were invalid and apparently you had to go somewhere an 30mins away from the stadium by car to get them. Online tickets aren't barcoded, luckily found some guy who wanted to sell his friends ticket and bought a new one. Was some swiss guy who had paid almost £300 for his ticket and couldn't get in because he hadn't picked the tickets up, nowhere around the stadium was there a place to pick it up, and you had to do it the day before. Disorganised and quite an embarrassment to see the outside of Maracana still in construction. The inside was beautiful, although it still need more work, especially the announcer was hard to listen too. Public transport was working properly though which was nice and hopefully for 2014 it will be even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Important and annoying thing to recognise if you were planning on downloading this game - The game at Wembley was on the 6th of February. 6/2/2013. This game was on the 2nd of June, 6/2/2013, according to some. Irritating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Another thing Hulk is shite, he needs to be benched. Was Lucas in the squad or not? He needs to be starting come next year IMO. Neymar has all of the hype but right now I think Lucas is a more dangerous player to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Neymar refined heard it all Moreso than Lucas Moura, yes. Neymar has scored 136 goals for Santos and 20 for Brazil. He was the key player in leading Santos to the Libertadores. At this stage of their respective careers he has been far more productive both in goalscoring and creatively than Lucas has. Lucas is very talented but he's even rawer and less mature as a player than Neymar is - and hasn't been consistently productive at PSG or at Sao Paulo.

aussiemag Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 How do you see Englands best 11 looking, going into the World Cup in a years time. Id probably go: Hart Johnson Cahill Jagielka Cole Carrick Cleverley Walcott Wilshere Ox Rooney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas is very talented but he's even rawer and less mature as a player than Neymar is - and hasn't been consistently productive at PSG or at Sao Paulo. I do understand where you are coming from, but Neymar hasn't had a very good game in almost 6months or more now, while Lucas has been a threat every time he's stepped onto a pitch either for PSG or Brazil. Also he's not a less mature player than Neymar, he's a far more mature and tactically aware than Neymar. Neymar has the bigger upside than both but I think at the moment Lucas is developing better than Neymar who has stagnated a lot over the last 6-12 months. I hope Neymar going to Barcelona will change that. Anyhow, both should be starting together with Oscar who for me is possibly Brazils best player the moment.

ponsaelius Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Have you watched much of PSG this season? Apart from the games against Barca in the CL I haven't been impressed with him really. He's clearly talented but its just fits and starts, the odd little cameo. At the Olympics I was very impressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly talented but its just fits and starts, the odd little cameo. At the Olympics I was very impressed. ?? He's played almost 10 games for PSG at the beginning and then had couple of niggling injuries which left him out. Been very good for them this season, watched them a lot because of swedish tv obsession with Ibra so PSG games are always on. He's been more productive than anyone in that team bar Ibra, contributing with a goal every 2 games. And also he's only made one cameo the whole season. In the Olympics he was on the bench and didn't do much whenever he came on, so I don't know how he impressed you in the Olympics except showing the obvious burst of speed he has and some technical moves. His all around game is much better, and whenever he got the ball yesterday he tried something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id probably go: Hart Johnson Cahill Jagielka Cole Carrick Cleverley Walcott Wilshere Ox Rooney A lot will depend how much game time some of the youngsters get at their clubs. We could really do with the likes of Welbeck , jones, cleverly,Ox and a couple of others playing week in week out. Also Wilshire needs an injury free season. If Sturridge continues his form next season I could see him as a starter this time next year going into the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
