Full name: Éderzito António Macedo Lopes
Date of birth: 22 December 1987 (age 26)
Nationality: Portugal
Height: 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in)
Club: Braga
Playing position: Striker


He've played two games (USA and Ghana) in WC2014.
Those of you who saw both matches (or his games in Braga), what's your views of him?

 

[KingMessi]

He was very underwhelming in both games he played in.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

From what I saw in the World Cup, he was as cringeworthy as Fred and Jo, if not more so.

 

[instinct]

We need him

 

[Darko]

Worst striker at the World Cup, and that is quite some insult considering the likes of Jo and Jelavic were playing!

 

[Messi4life]

Quite impressive from someone who's "bad player".

 

[Alik]

Imo he was terrible at the WC. Haven't seen him elsewhere.

 

[linetty]

Why would create a thread for him? He was woeful, no reason to discuss his future or whatever!

 

[Messi4life]

I've watch Portugals game against Ghana and USA and I must admit that he's not bad as you think. His movements, intelligens, link-up play (and more so).

Eder could even be our Plan B for us
He's cheap, probably don't complain over playing time, someone who can break the pattern...

Yeah...no. Might as wel play Munir as a plan B.

Were all terrible. What are you talking about?

 

[Messi4life]

Fantastic goal from Eder against Estoril

 

[Messi4life]

I think it's unfair to think that he's a bad player due to his WC. Eder came directly from a half a season injury to the wc (played 2 games, i think). Also he had almost zero experience in the seleção. And finally, the whole team was a mess during the wc, Eder reflected the failure of the team. I'm sure that if thee team was playing well, Eder would have been more useful.
