    Hulk was pretty awful at wasting good opportunities. I actually don't mind if we start Ramires on the right. He'll run up and down the right side all day and give us a bit more stability defensively. I prefer Willian though as he is better technically. As of right now, my concern is we need...

    Big Phil did what I expected. Gave Paulinho 45 min and sub him off. Fernandinho was far superior offensively and defensively. Hopefully, it's a permanent change. The other dead weight called Hulk needs to be drop.

    Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

    Neymar, Thiago Silva, Luis Gustavo and to a certain extent Oscar and David Luiz are Brazil.

    A poor 45 minutes from them today should be the last straw for Scolari. Even, in stubbornness it has to be understood, there is a tournament to be won here.

    Brazil

    I'm guessing since the opponent is the weakest in the group and already out, he is evaluating Fred, Paulinho and possibly Hulk for maybe 45-50 mins and see. Since Paulinho and Fred have been the most criticize in the media, I'm also guessing Scolari doesn't want to ruin either player confidence...

    Group F: Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria

    I understand what your saying and I don't disagree but I saw someone mention that they get rip apart by the likes of Chile or Netherlands based on how they played on this game which is harsh IMO. Futbol doesn't work like that. Do people not remember Argentina 1990 World Cup campaign or other...

    Group F: Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria

    People are too harsh on Argentina tournament. Every team with the favorite tag has noticeable weakness that can be exploited by each other. No clear favorites in this tournament IMO. Anybody can win it at this point.

    Fernandinho played the box-box role during his time in Ukraine.

    Fernandinho can play the Paulinho role but I would also add Hernanes and change the system. The width will come from the FB.

    IMO, Ramires is best in the right central midfield position in a 3 man midfield. He sucks in a pivot.

    Paulinho is coming under fire and it's deserved. He's been really poor. Scolari is the type to stick to his guns but in 02 and for Portugal he made the necessary tactical change. At this point 2 or 3 changes need to be done. 2 of Hernanes, Willian and Fernandinho need to start or all 3. Maicon...

    Diego Costa

    IMO, Costa doesn't fit into Spain possession style. He is more suited to a more direct/counter-attacking system. This bad tournament don't make him terrible. He is still a damn good striker even though I 'm happy his WC dream is over.:lol:

    Brazil

    It sucks but Fred is the best of a bad bunch. Adriano and Pato was the future but they went to shits. I agree Scolari made some error's but IMO it's not so much with his list maybe 2 or 3 players but after the confederations he should of tested out some new players, for example a Coutinho or...

    Mano was pretty bad. We was very disorganized and all over the place. Scolari at least has added a bit more structure.

    What bias? Because I stand by Scolari call-up decisions and I still stand by them. The only one I had an issue with was Miranda and neither Dante or Henrique has seen a minute so far so that completely irrelevant.

    Brazil

    It isn't working offensively and defensively. We relying too much on Silva, Luiz and Gustavo for defense and Neymar and Oscar for offense. I gave Paulinho a chance but enough is enough. He has to make way for Fernandinho at this point. Hernanes or Willian or both need to be included. Fred has...

    I agree I think Fernandinho should replace Paulinho, Hernanes should replace Fred. False 9 all the way.

    Pato is worst than Fred and Jo at this point in his career.

    2014 World Cup General Chat

    This team won't go far if Scolari continues to be stubborn. It all on Neymar and Oscar to create chances and on top of that we playing basically with 9 men as Paulinho and Fred has been useless. Ochoa MOTM Mexico always makes it tough.
