Flip Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The Brazil squad is poor by its normal standards: Gilberto - Could not get a game at Spurs Elano - Dumped by Man City Gilberto - Too old & too slow for Arsenal & Arsne Baptista - Weg did not want snap him up after loan spell Kléberson - Failure at Man Utd Robinho - had issues at Man City but has looked good at Santos. I am surprised Mirandinha did not make the squad. Brazil stacked with attackers in '06 (Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Adriano..) and tried to fit them into one team. It failed miserably. This team is much better than that one, it's organised and efficient but has flair in the right areas. They wont concede many and they'll pick teams off at will on the break. Dunga is the best thing that's happened to Brazil in years. Somehow stumbled across this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Think he's been brilliant personally He's worse this time. I actually didn't have THAT much problems with him the first time and thought he was partly unlucky to not at least go to the semi's in South Africa. But now, he's fucking ridiculous. The fact he ended the game against Venezuela with 4 central defenders, 2 fullbacks and two DM's and wasn't trolling really killed me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to buzz solely off annoying as many people as he can rather than trying to win games / utilise the undoubted wealth of talent he has at his disposal.

Flip Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Route to World Cup in Russia starts tonight in South America. Chile hosts Brazil while Uruguay plays away to Bolivia. Don't think there's ever been this little gap between SA sides and with Bolivia aside all teams stand a chance of being top 5. Still expect Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Chile to take the direct spots, but Uruguay are in trouble with Peru, Paraguay and Venezuela all getting better every year.

Flip Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Chile-Brazil should be a tasty affair. I'm just interested to see if Douglas Costa can produce the same magic without Muller and Lewandowski. And if Oscar can get back to his best. Chile away will be very difficult, but their football suits us somehow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate watching us sit deep when they have the ball. It's not Brazil I'm not saying you should go all out attack but this is quite sad to watch from such a past great nation. Where's the offensive mentality, where's the arrogance, where's the flair? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Costa has been your best player comfortably. Willian is such a good player if he's given the freedom to attack, to which end he's really drawn a blank in the manager lottery for club and country.

Oscar is the reason we weren't up by two or three. We had four or five great counters which ended with him destroying each and every one of them completely.
