    LOL! Been way too busy with life and work, but I'll write those again. I try to reserve those for WCQ, Copa América, and the World Cup.

    I saw the first half vs. the United States and bits and pieces of the first half vs. El Salvador. I stopped watching after it was 2-0, as I knew El Salvador wouldn't pose a threat.

    Some in the Brazilian sports press are torching Tite for poor decisions made pre- and during the World Cup which his choices for this roster highlighted - namely, Arthur. Arthur was amazing for Grêmio in 2017 and if they fail to repeat as Libertadores champions, Arthur's absence will be a reason.

    In any case, a new cycle has begun. Two wins against two opponents who posed little challenge. Now, it's confirmed we play Egypt and Argentina in October. Egypt failed to get past the group stage in Russia whereas Argentina is undergoing a massive rebuilding project. I expect Brazil to win both as it has a readier base, but those teams should definitely give us difficulties the Americans and El Salvadoreans didn't.

    @celito I know you said that Willian should go and I think he might make the Copa'19 squad, but by WC'22 he will be 33 going on 34 and unless he's converted to a right back(LOL!!) then he wont be in Qatar(please I hope they find a way to strip it from them!!:mad:)

    Willian chances are narrowing. Tite has a bunch of talented wide players he didn’t even call that are waiting in the wings.

    I like what Tite is trying to implement in the midfield but we can used a bit of directness at times.

    I would like to see Arthur try some defense splitting passes. I like how he retains possession and can dribble out of tight spaces.

    The attendance for the US game was around 34k. For El Salvador it was like 25k. Back in 2010 I think there were 57k in the US game. I wonder if these organizers will keep coming to the US with these attendance numbers.

    I see he criticized the ref after the match. The refs will continue to swallow the whistle against him and he can’t blame anybody but himself.

    If we had won the world cup the attendance here would go through the roof, if only for celebration.... unfortunately that did not happen...

    Tite will not be calling any players on teams that reach Copa Do Brasil final.
    Ref was idiotic to give Neymar a YC for a clear foul.
    This bullshit backlash.

    Missed 2 easy goals and lost the ball countless times. Goal was just a Pk. 1st assist was a nice pass although the finish had more to do with the goal. 2nd assist a side pass to Coutinho who unleashed a nice shot. Third assist just from a corner.

    The only thing I want to tell Tite is to find another job!!:D...Ok but seriously, Pedro was called up but had to pull out for injury!! But Pedro should make the list on Friday, but I'm wondering if Gabigol of Santos will be on it?

    Pedro’s injury is more serious. He will need surgery. Pedro is out for the rest of the year. We have no true camisa 9.
    Firmino in top form.
    Why the FUK are we playing Saudi Arabia?
