some really nice passes from Messi today

 

[BXI Fútbol]

Brazil just can't control games. No Xavi, Pirlo or Schweinsteiger in their ranks.

Oscar and Wilshere have been the two best players on show. Cleverley good as well.

Agreed on both of your points, although I would add Busquets to your first sentence. Xavi did not play today obviously but Busquets was absolutely controlling the entire match against Uruguay.

As much as I love Wilshere I hope Brazil win this one.

 

[Ode to Django]

Hernanes would do wonders in this Brazil team too bad he's injured, bit unsure as to why Thiago Silva isn't there. Brazil look awful with Ramires, Paulinho, Dinho as mids.

Messi got any assists?

no direct assist, but he was involved in all three goals

 

[Semi-Neutral]

The third goal resulted from his shot; GK blocked it and Higuain had a tap in. Other two goals were assisted by Di Maria.

ronaldinho has been terrible so far, given the ball away every time he has had it, walking around the pitch, him and fabiano are so past it, why they are playing for brazil i do not know..........

Scolari is the coach. That's why. He is also past it.

They're in great form at club level and add experience.

 

[La Furia]

They're in great form at club level and add experience.

They are still past it though, shouldn't this be time to prepare for 2014?

they surely won't be involved at the 2014 world cup tho, so i don't see the point of picking them...........

 

[Dinho]

That's what they've been doing, but the squad in general is vastly inexperienced so they need some experience.

You could say the same about Gerrard and Lampard for England.

 

[Kerrybai]

Ireland-Poland is like a home game for Poland.

Lampard yes, Gerrard no. If he continues like he does right now, he is a starter for the world cup.

Also: Mertesacker's bossing it
