Scolari simply needs to go. The Brazilian Football Federation needs to be changed too. This team was horrible even compared to the one 4 years ago in South Africa.
Cannavaro won balon d'or in 2006 solely due to winning the world cup. Ronaldinho had a really good season but they still gave it to Cannavaro.
If Argentina wins then Messi has a huge chance of winning it.
Anyone else think he's a bit too good to be a benchwarmer? I just hope he gets a lot of chances during the season. I don't want to see Ter stegen playing every match. A Real Madrid type of GK rotation might work out well next season.
The camel is :shit: Predicted the Germany-Brazil game wrong. It probably predicted Argentina-Holland incorrectly too.
Octopus from 2010 is still the GOAT :worthy:
Thank you Bernie and Flavia.
It seems like the WC sponsors are really taking in huge profits. Crazy how these big companies always find illegal ways to make a profit :facepalm:
How I wish he would go to RM... he is exactly the opposite of what we need!
Having one offensive FB is already enough (Alba). Adding in two offensive FB's is a disaster and can lead to losses ala Bayern 2013.
Yeah that's what I really meant with my reply lol.
Flavia, is this a big issue that Brazilian media is covering? None of the US soccer coverage has ever talked about this, so I'm curious.
On Twitter, I follow a Brazilian MMA fighter (Vitor Belfort) and he's talking about FIFA not paying taxes in Brazil. Not sure what he's talking because I'm just using google translate. Any Brazilian members/ Portuguese members care to translate this...
The All European final that I predicted since last week seems to be coming true :(
I really hope Argentina goes through though, but I still see Germany beating them. Holland is a huge test for the Argies anyway. I have a tough time seeing how the Argentine defense can contain Robben.
I hope this game doesn't shatter his career. Also, it was very strange that Scolari played him instead of Willian. All of the soccer shows I watch predicted that Willian would be in the starting lineup.
Leaving out Filipe Luis, Coutinho, and Lucas Moura were the big ones in my opinion. You just can't leave out players like that. Also, Fred and Jo are absolutely impotent. Diego Costa literally begged to be in the NT but Scolari didn't even glance.
