You have to be shitting me. Jesus rounds keeper and hits the post and then Willian hits the post off the rebound.
I think that was Fernandinho with the initial pass. Jesus did everything right but put the goal in the net. Costa in for RA.
Not a bad 2nd half. Should have been at least 1 x 1. First loss for Tite. It's a friendly and we didn't play bad missing some players, no big deal.
I think a loss is a loss regardless of whether its a friendly or regular game. It should be analyzed properly. I think we played an average game today . I have said earlier also and i reiterate again Gabriel jesus is too young to shoulder the entire nations expectation in 2018 wc.
He doesn't have to shoulder the weight of the whole country. He has great support. It's a well balanced attack. All other options are blah.
He's not... He has a certain Neymar that will get the pressure back on HIS shoulders as soon as he steps on the field again... Bah. If a loss had to happen, this is the perfect time for it then. I was more interested in seeing the new faces (and rarely seen faces) play. The players looked "stable" for me against good opposition. Good to know that we can rely on decent backups. Good enough for me in this kind of game.... And at the end of the day, this game could have gone either way with all the gol posts being hit. I am slightly worried about the possession though with this group. Commentators said Argentina had 61% possession. Meh, it's what you do with it that counts, but I'd still want Brasil to hold the balance of the possession... versus ANY team... Don't want to slip back into a Dunga-esque counter attacking game...
