Copa América: Chile 2015

And Neymar captain?

 

No primeiro jogo do Brasil depois da Copa do Mundo de 2006, na sua estréia como técnico do Brasil, Dunga deixou Ronaldinho Gaúcho e Kaká no banco. Ele já mostrou que quem não merece não joga.

E ele concordou com a saída de Neymar da concentração do Brasil.

Portanto, se Dunga achar que outro jogador for um capitão melhor, assim seja.

 

Good decision, Messi And Neymar named as captains are just based in marketing .

 

This.

 

Brazilians have learned this only recently though

 

It's not like we haven't won any trophies since ever... it's one thing to say we're favorite it's another to say we're going to demolish a team in front of the world.

No brazilian soccer fan is ever that optimistic... ever

 

Yes.

Brazilians went 24 years without winning a World Cup, witnessed a 0-3 defeat in France, not to mention defeats against Honduras in 2001 and a very bad performance against France in 2006. We suffered a great deal in the qualifying campaign for 2002, and even lost a friendly to Venezuela in 2008. We did not need the defeat against Germany last year to teach us that it's best not to talk before games.

It was rather rude and arrogant to say here to Chileans, who were eagerly and anxiously awaiting a title for their NT, that their team, which was playing at home, was going to be destroyed/smoked/humiliated in front of the whole world. To mock them about their lack of titles before 2015 was likewise very rude. This was highly hurtful to the Chileans' sensibilities, as they needed no reminder that other teams in CONMEBOL had won cups and theirs hadn't. The Chilean fans who later wrote here referring to those predictions really couldn't be blamed.

Had those who here bragged about an easy win for their team instead predicted a win in a neutral manner, without disrespecting Chile - and then, had those posters later written words of respect to Chile, regardless of the result, the Chileans would have had no reason to be provocative themselves.

This is why despite Brazil's horrible defeat vs. Germany last year, I really couldn't get myself to hate Germany. The German players were respectful throughout the entire game and afterwards, and they went out of their way to ask others to respect us and not to mock us. This earned the Germans a lot of good will among Brazilians.

Compare and contrast that with fans who came to my country misbehaving in myriad ways (including violence, profanity, and attempted assaults against women) and who, like their NT, sang songs saying "Brazil, tell me what it feels like to have your daddy here..." Those same fans went to Chile 1 year later singing an even ruder song.

It reminds me of how very often, during 2000-2002, certain fans mocked Brazil and said we wouldn't even reach the World Cup, that we were history, that we were done. We won the World Cup; other teams didn't do much other than lose and go home early. I doubt I'd do this now, but as a younger and rasher man, I sure let them hear it afterwards.

Quem fala o que não deve terá que ouvir o que não quer.

And on that note:... Parabéns Chile, Campeão da América!

(Parabéns = congratulations)

 

La christina no se volvio a aparecer despues de que perdieron.

 

Es que como ella mismo dijo, la final fue ante la TV internacional, por lo que el resultado, algo debe haberla afectado...


Como dice el refrán : "Por la boca, muere el pez"

 

Pero si Colombia perdió en penales, no tiene que estár tan mal.

 

Winning the Copa America is awesome, we should have bought one a long time ago lol

Creo que ahora volverá a ser colombiana, está actualizando su perfil con fotos de Falcao.

 

En realidad nunca fue fanática del equipo colombiano. No tendría motivo alguno de hacer algo por el estilo.

Lo positivo, es que ahora debe haber aprendido a ser un poquito más humilde y no adelantarse a los hechos cuando estos aún no hayan sucedido, pues esta actitud y el tiempo, suelen darte este mismo tipo de "bofetadas" para recordártelo. Ahora si no aprendió ninguna cosa de todo esto, nada de raro que en el futuro le vuelva a pasar de nuevo.

 

Lo de fanatica es cierto, pero nunca dejó ni dejará de ser colombiana, aunque lo niegue. Es más facil para ella apoyar a colombia que un neutro.

 

Seems like @Christina99 has some obsessed stalkers in this thread

 

Se expuso por bocona simplemente

 

Hay que ser justos, también.
Ella no reniega contra su país de origen. Solo a nivel de fútbol, ha manifestado preferir su país adoptivo.

 

Es cierto, aunque lo que dije originalmente de que estaba cambiando la foto a Falcao lo tiré como talla, creo que nadie cree que de verdad lo está haciendo...igual raro (En mi opinión)
