    It's time to unleash a new movement. Vieirinha/Rafa with William in the middle. Neto needs to start longside Pepe. Do it Bento! You idiot!

    I did not know that. That's a great gesture.

    What's behind Nani's haircut?

    unfortunately his idea of a new movement is to have Eder as ST. That's all that needs to b said about Bentos new ideas.

    i think if that happened, the usa and portugal end up on -2 goal diff each, then it comes down to whoever scored most goals in the group stage and if thats a tie as well, it's then they draw lots? im not sure though but i think thats what happens

    Well with Ronaldo being hurt and playing basically how he would if he was in his mid 30s, why not start him as a #9 in what is basically a useless game for us. Varela and Nani on the wings.

    If William does not start the Ghana match then I am going for Ghana, if that means I am not a true fan then oh well. Losing might be the only chance Bento has of being fired.

    Ronaldo talking about how he didn't expect to win the WC and there are better teams, no sh*t you clown, but not getting out of the group is a different matter in which no excuse is good enough.

    Ghana will be going with a very offensive lineup...there will be space to exploit...sadly they will also be destroying our left side of defense unless Pepe replicates his Real Madrid Pepe.

    We need fresh legs, every team that played in Manaeus suffered heavily the next game.

    If Bruno Alves recovers, start Neto at leftback, quick, good anticipation..tell him to sit back to compensate for our lack of coverage there.

    Moutinho-William-Rafa midfield..with rafa drifting outwide to the left to receive the ball like he likes to do..letting Ronaldo drift inside in a free role.

    Maybe Varela as a forward, ask him if he still remembers how after playing in the U-21's.

    Portugal will win this probaly 3-0 or 4-1. But will be eliminated due to the treaty of recife

    Whatever happens, underestimating the US's ability to win is basically the worst thing we can do.

    They've shown they can win games against better teams and tie them also, they can also park the bus well.
    Depends on how Klinsman feels like playing. Bento is garbage so we either lose or tie.

    Hopefully USA wins 1-0 and we beat Ghana 8-0 so USA and Portugal woudl go through

    that would be the funniest thing ever, topped only by Portugal going through on lots

    but, in all seriousness, get the lube ready boys. Portugal's gonna get destroyed by Ghana BBC

    I like what you're coming up with... If only Bento came out of his "Coma" he's in... He looks so lost behind the sideline, it's ridiculous!

    Going with what you said, this would be offensive and the right thing to do considering our situation, ATTACK and never let the foot off the gas:

    ---------------------Beto--------------------
    Pereira---------Pepe----Alves-------Veloso
    ------------------WILLIAM-----------------
    -------Moutinho-------------Rafa-----------
    Nani--------------Ronaldo-----------Varela

    Oh Lord, how beautiful this looks on paper... I wonder if it would actually spark some REAL OFFENSE for once in this World Cup.

    Força Caramba!!!

    Might not even watch this crap. Bruno and pepe will be red carded. Meireles will punch the ref and Postiga will beat Gyan with his cane.

    I'm a masochist (I watched the 2nd half of Germany game) so I will watch it. It's going to be very painful.

    What is "drawing lots?" Never heard that term.

    And I've asked before, does anyone know what happened to Neslon Oliveira's progression and why he isn't with the the Seleçao? Not too long ago he was supposed to be the future. I see he ended up at Rennes from LA Liga which IMO is a major step backwards.

    Well there you've answered your own question. He never performed on the NT level and basically doesn't play as big as his ego

    afaik it's like a coin toss when two teams have pretty much tied on everything in the group stage. points, goal diff, goals scored etc.. so the powers that be say 'fcuk this' ' lets toss a coin to see who goes through to the last 16'
