Arrogant ?unt as ever - and what the ******** was he and Bebeto doing sharing a stage with Mano when the squad was announced. Too many players over the age of 23? - we have 3 and that is what we are allowed- makes no sense that comment. A genius of a player who I would not trust at all as a person. AND he should apologise to the nation for missing an open goal against Italy in the 1994 Final thereby putting us through penalties.
I haven't seen his actual comments, but I assumed that part was poorly translated as it doesn't make any sense. I like the dude a lot. He reminds me of a brazilian Ozzie Guillen, haha. One thing I don't understand is why is he so pissed off all the time? If I was him I'd be enjoying the fvck out of life, with as little stress as possible. And for him, that should come extremely easy.
What Romario did say made perfect sense. He said we have good options at striker under the age of 23 like Wellington Nem. He said we should have used that over 23 selection on another defender, where the choices aren't that great.
The completely unthinkable just happened, Pato picked up an ankle injury and will likely be out of the first olympic match. Not even Nostradamus(sp?) could have foreseen this one coming.
Juan apparently connected with him. He seems to be made of crystal these days........ Tim Vickery article http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2012/07/brazils_dual_football_mission.html
For the life of me why the ******** did Mano chose injury prone Pato over the likes of Wellington Nem is beyond me.
This tournament will be Hulk's unleashing for the Selecao. I can see him being "the man" in 2014 to bring things together. I still think if they drop a true forward from the lineup, Neymar and Hulk can more than handle the job.
Just started watching the game in the 2nd half. Damiao with a WTF header. This GB team looks pretty bad.
