The Rivelino87 Mundial 2013 thread: Galo v. the World [R]

The Journey:

 

To get spanked ! If I was him I'd stay injured !

 

What's the difference....whether he's playing or not, no one will know he's on the field!

 

Touche' !

 

"They" don't include me !! We have the privilege of knowing how strong both sides are. Europeans only know their side and typically have no idea how strong the SA teams are. I never thought Chelsea would spank Corinthians. Although it still took 2 or 3 miracles by Cassio to keep Chelsea from scoring.

I was pretty sure Santos was going to get spanked by Barca. And I am pretty sure Bayern won't have much trouble against Atletico (if that's the Final). I'd say Bayern wins by 2 at a minimum.

If I am wrong you can quote me on this !

 

Tournament begins on the 11th of December.

Last years winners were Corinthians, will the trophy remain in Brazil for another year ot not?

The teams are as follows

CF Monterrey
Atlético Mineiro
Auckland City
Bayern Múnchen
Gunagzhou Evergrande
Raja Casablanca
Al Ahly SC

Star Players
Robben
Ribery
Ronaldinho Gaucho
Humberto Suazo
Cesar Delgado
Conca
Elkeson

Might be of intrest to some whom are unaware, former Juve and 2006 WC winning manager Marcello Lippi manages Gunagzhou Evergrande.

 

Galo's chance just got better, Robben out of the competition due to injury.

 

So what does that mean? Someone like Muller will just take his place. Certainly not as skilled as Robben, but a good player.

I just hope Cuca doesn't repeat a feat only Inter has done thus far....

 

The big story IMO is Fernandinho, who has been on fire for Galo and may not be eligible to play. I think Galo need him if they truly have any sort of shot of an upset. They also need the 'Libertadores' Jô and not the one we've been seeing lately.

Tardelli can make a strong case for himself if he has a good tournament (in particular, a good game vs Bayern) for the Seleção.

 

Sounds like FIFA will allow Fernandinho to play....

 

It's true. Bayern have incredible depth. Probably doesn't improve much if at all.

 

Conca vai enfrentar Ribéry como preparação para o duelo com Flávio Caça-Rato em 2014.

Monterrey being taken into ET by Casablanca. Good news for Galo as whichever team win may be a little extra tired.

1 x 1

 

2 x 1 for Casablanca

 

R10, this isn't a final yet. Where are you?

 

Who the hell told Jo he should be leaving the area? He has been horrible.
