[Dear_Claudio]

Who wanted Rehhagel as our coach? Laff.

[Nacional Tijuana]

Did Mourinho pull a Grace Slick and quietly change professions, becoming a painter?

Scolari has, however, allowed representatives to handle approaches from potential future employers. These include Chelsea . . .As a club coach in Brazil he won a succession of major titles including two Copa Libertadores, the South American equivalent of the European Cup.

if scolari does come..
and i am sure he will come,and it think the deal was concluded a long time a go.the signing of portuguese wing back bosingwa from porto ,and the interest in deco assured me.i hopes he brings some other portuguese talent with him.
like ricardo quaresma,joao moutinho,and miguel veloso..

[lobomojo]

I am heading towards the Grampa Mourinho bandwagon. Of all the candidates we seeminly are considering I think he is the standout

Scolari's English better then purported

Francisco Javier Arce

Palmeiras 1999-2000, Grêmio 1995-'96

"If there's one word to describe him, it's awesome. He's the most complete, loyal, correct coach - he's everything. Felipão never liked giving big speeches before matches. He'd say what he wanted to and then try and calm things right down in the changing room. It's not what most people imagine - half the time he looks like he's about to run on to the pitch during games. But his main idea was to pass a sense of tranquillity to his players. Sure, he used to swear at us sometimes - he'll swear at everyone from the youngest player to the star player if they're not working hard enough - but he doesn't differentiate and that's why everybody likes him."

Edilson

Brazil 2002 World Cup squad

"He really fills you with garra - grit and determination. In the locker room he went round the group, one by one, and told us that after the England game there would only be two more to go. He has this fatherly way. He knew how to have everyone in the palm of his hand."

Geovanni

Cruzeiro and Brazil 2000-02

"In football and in life, there are some people who are born to win. Felipão is definitely one of them. He's got a different profile to other coaches I've worked with - he's demanding but at the same time knows how to talk to you. The most important thing about him is that he always works towards the group and not the individual."

Goiano

Grêmio 1995-96

"One of the things I learned from him was the importance of the simple things. He used to say if you believed in the simple things, that would bring you good results. He always joked during training that as footballers we had to be professionals but that our souls had to be amateur. He meant that we had to really love what we were doing, like him. He passed a huge amount of confidence to us. I don't ever remember going on to the pitch without the belief that we could win, without my soul telling me we could get through any barrier."

Ruy Carlos Ostermann

Official biographer and friend

"This type of challenge is the challenge he likes the best - against disproportionate strength. In everyone's opinion England is the stronger team. He will transform this pressure into enthusiasm. He doesn't function on calmness, he functions on attrition. Football for him is continual conflict. He has this rustic aspect, but that is just the look. Really, he is extremely smart. He knows exactly what he can get away with. He is not dishonest but everything that he can use in his favour he will use. He is impulsive and energetic. For him, the big victories are like a painful birth. There are costs and sacrifices."

Darnlei

Grêmio 1993-96

"He works with what he has, not what he would like to have. He would never try and impose his own tactics on a team, he'd think: 'This is the team I can put together with these players. If I have a striker who moves out of position a lot [then] I need a midfielder who marks well.' He always looked at the components he had in his hands and worked with that. He was really a kind of dad. What we learned from him is that you have to have tactical discipline and belief, so that we could close our eyes, trust in him and see it all work."

Except he doesn't know the "offside rule" when a player is off the pitch! :D

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari was unhappy with the referee’s ruling.

“I’m in total disagreement with the decision but then no one listens to me,” Scolari told a Neuchatel news conference.

“The interpretation is made by he (the referee) who is there, I would have given offside because the player went out of the pitch involuntarily.

Then again, neither did Loew! :o

[mshankb]

It's not just about going involuntarily, it;s still onside if you go off because the momentum of something that happens in the game - like you run into your own goalkeeper!


As for Scolari, I'd be happy. He's my top pick out of those who are left, for sure.

[Dear_Claudio]

Oddly enough, there was a goal against us disallowed when Boulahrouz was barely off the pitch... should have counted then?
