    They aren't our rival? Of course they are! They broke Neymar's spine in the World Cup. Maybe if Neymar had played against Germany and scored an early goal, that whole fiasco would have been different. Then they go and do what they did last game. At this point I hate Colombia almost as much as Argentina, and consider them to be definitely our rivals. Coisa de time pequeno or not, I'd be very happy to see them screwed. It would be ironic and satisfying.

    That Chile chant is pretty annoying. I bet they are waiting for a Venezuela goal to mess with us.

    What I like is that we are shooting today, which we didn't do at all against Colombia (only one shot on target that game). Four on target already.

    Firmino needs to be subbed out. He has been useless. Not only useless but detrimental, by wasting attacks.

    This ref is actually showing yellow cards to Brazil's opponents, which the ref for Brazil vs. Colombia wouldn't do.

    Maybe, he's better off a striker or as the 10 but I would sub him off. He's killed the attack repeatedly. 2 bad games in tow.

    It's sad that only when Dani Alves + Robinho play you see a little resemblence of Jogo Bonito....the quick 1-2's and short passing with quality....how the beautiful game has really died in the NT

    Where I saw Jogo Bonito was with the U20 team in the semifinal and the final in New Zealand. They didn't win the tournament (by a hair) but played very well. So maybe once this generation grows up, we'll see some recovery. Those kids also didn't flop or dive.

    Of course once they grow up, they could spoil.

    But it was a refreshing thing, to see a Brazilian NT playing like that.

    Robinho has been playing well and looks to have matured a bit. Very great to see.

    Daniel Alves one of the best players again:ROFLMAO:. Robinho and Willian decent.

    Coutinho not looking good but not as bad as Firmino.

    Robinho hasn't lost as many balls as Neymar typically does.

    Robinho > Neymar

    They aren't and you're just wasting energy trying to develop a rivalry with a SA minnow. We got a long road ahead of us before we can rebuild our reputation.

    Matured?

    He was the best player in the team in the 2010 WC & he won the 2009 Copa pretty much on his own.


    He always shines for the NT.

    One of Neymar faults is he likes to play heroball. No one is trying to dribble 5 players and not passing to the open man.

    Coutinho is talented but he was massively over-rated this year.....he had some really good games from Liverpool but in others he was really bad.

    Not bringing Robinho to last year's WC was mistake. Not sure why so many people are ripping him.

    Because he's not very good?

    Coutinho remains a hugely overrated player; a massive volume passer/shooter with very poor percentages. A good half by Brazil though.

    Well, I'm quite sure - would bet good money on it - that if you were to survey a scientifically picked, representative sample of Brazilian soccer fans, and asked them what South American NT they hate the most after Argentina, Colombia would be that team, hands down. Who else? Uruguay? Chile? Paraguay? No way. Colombia will be forever hated after the 2014 WC. That's a rivalry in my book. You don't necessarily only hate rivals due to quality of play, but also, due to stuff like that, when they deliberately disable our best player twice in a row. Rest assured that the players feel the same way.
