Hi Giles! Good to see a brazilian football fan around! Especially from the 80's! Here is a blog where you can find lots of matches from that era:...
Agree! During the World Cup, some of brazilian press has enphisized that Seleção had lost their midfield. None was able to create. But I recently...
It seems that the impressive lost 1-7 against Germany emphasizes brazilian football's crisis (which is known for years). If Brazil had lost 0-1...
Agree with you in few aspects of your post, but humankind has been more than "frauded" by "civilized" countries in history, don't you think? Or...
He's no conditions to wear nr. 9... We need another striker soon!
Excuses... Buddy, don't let the media bias you! The guys were celebrating cause it feels good beating Brazil! And that "under-23 team" is a few...
Agree... Messi is light-years far from Neymar. Messi's game was something as he saying: "Learn, Neymar!". Despite Neymar is more skillful, more...
He does it not only against Brazil... Even defenses which are used to face him allows tose runs...
Actually, both of you are right, IMO. In fact, Zico started shining more as a 2nd striker during the 70's. He began to play in midfield with...
End of discussion... :p
I'm a Zico fan, but he wasn't even better than Sócrates or Falcão in 1982. You are forgetting Gérson in 1970...He was that team's real genious in...
Nice discussion about formation, James. I agree with you in 2 particular points: 1. Formation is not the same as tactics/strategy, and your...
True. Mancuso tried to help Maradona on tactics, as I could see in some matches. Maradona was more of a motivator, I guess... Any similarity...
I consider his pass to Aguero, surrounded by five South Koreans, more an assist than Aguero's to Higuain.
STRIKERS -Miroslave Klose (GER) -Gonzalo Higuain (ARG) -David Villa (ESP) -Gyan (GHA) MIDFIELDERS -Wesley Sneijder (NED) -Thomas Muller...
Maybe because the goal was due to a mistake from the most solid part of the team. Completely agree. This laziness is common in Brazil since some...
Re: Match 59 (QF) - Netherlands v Brasil - Post-Match Thread [R] From Heaven to hell... That's the feeling of many brazilian fans (the others are...
Re: Match 59 (QF) - Netherlands v Brasil - PBP Thread [R] That would be the goal of the tournament IMO...
Re: Match 59 (QF) - Netherlands v Brasil - PBP Thread [R] Van Bommel, i guess...
Re: Match 59 (QF) - Netherlands v Brasil - PBP Thread [R] This last Brazil play, ended with Maicon's shot, was somehow similar to... :rolleyes:...
That is likely to happen... But I imagine Spain chances depend on whether Germany or Argentina wins (my bet is on Germany, although I prefer...
I'm impressed how bad Robinho is today... Apart from his constant moves towards Chile's defense, he made numerous mistakes in passing and even...
That's it...Teams are not concerned about winning, but not loosing. And that's nothing new.
My choices: 00's -----------------------Buffon Thuram----------Nesta-------Maldini--------R. Carlos ---------Nedved-------Zidane----Ronaldinho...
Yes, if we had Careca or Reinaldo (or even Roberto Dinamite), maybe we could've scored more 2 or 3 goals in the tournament. Not necessarily in...
