Neymar irritates because it plays on the floor all the time asking faults ... haha give a discount for the fans in Morumbi!
I hate to see any player do that, but do you know what, he is doing it less. I was in Sweden for the Iraq game and got a whack and got up without trying to win an 'Oscar'. Refreshing to see.
I have seen 2 Brazil-Argentina games in Brazil: the one you mention (I had to visit the Maracana in my lifetime) and the one 4 years earlier in Recife. Talk about difference in crowd support - the game in Recife was the best atmosphere I have experienced in football ground ever.
I was only in two games of the Brazilian national team. I've been in the game of 2007, against Ecuador. Brazil made 1-0 at halftime and then played poorly, managed the game. The crowd began booing the team, criticizing the players. In the final 15 minutes, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Robinho gave a show of football. Brazil wins 5x0 Another game that went to Rio was 0-0 against Bolivia in 2008, Engenhão. Also another lot of boos from the crowd.
Robinho lit up the Maracana n 2007 with his "you go that way I go this way" trickery. Absolute class.
The recording is not mine, but you can feel how the audience was to see that dribble ... amazing! Brazil not played in Maracana for many years due to political bickering between CBF and the State Government, besides demanding public. It was very beautiful to see Brazil back to the Temple of Football
And that is one of the reasons I would pay to watch him play - and why I want him back in the squad/team.
Denilson, you is brazilian? I know the NT Brazil is world famous, but you know our players, our football ...
I wonder if the staff is scheduled to go to the Confederations Cup. Unfortunately my credit card had problems and could not buy tickets during the presale (late November 2012). It was so easy to secure tickets for the final. I've done my request ticket sales at this stage (starts december), but I'm not very hopeful. Unfortunately I will not leave Rio and so I try to only buy tickets for the game in Spain vs Tahiti and for the final (I hope that Brazil gets there).
