Neymar fora, acho que a melhor opção pra substituir é o menino Bernard, alegria nas pernas— Dona Lucia (@DonaLuciaCBF) June 18, 2015 Some comedy to cover up the disappointment. We need to come out very strong in the next half.
I don't trust Casemiro. I bring in David Luiz. Coutinho for Fred is the other one. The midfield has been thrash. Neymar making stupid decisions isn't helping either.
Horrible midfield play from Brazil. Dani alves except for the one cross has been horrible. Fred and Elias not sure what he is doing on the team Ref not giving any calls to neymar. It is pretty obvious he ignores any fouls on neymar On that attempt at goal Zunigas boot was on his face no yc for zuniga
We need to get our midfield figured out by 2018. Its insane that we're having the same issues we've had for years with no real solution.
This game is going to turn into Netherlands 2010, part 2 with our players losing control. I fear for both Neymar and Fernandinho to remain on the pitch. Dunga better show me he has learned something and give a hell of a pep talk at halftime.
We really need the next generation to pan out, i.e. Lucas Silva, Rodrigo Caio, Rafinha, etc. We also need to give chances to players such as Allan of Udinese. Continuing on with the status quo gives us what we're seeing right now.
Just worry about the 2nd half. I picked Brazil to lose but it's not like they can't improve in the 2nd half, it can't be worse.
After this tournament, win or lose. We need to play Oscar deeper. If that don't work test out Allan. Fernandinho and Elias are not good enough.
Lol what an absolute nightmare of a first half. We were completely dominated, Neymar got a yellow card for a completely accidental handball (and after being kicked in the head nonetheless!) and is out vs venezuela, Fernandinho is carded already. Christ. If we lose here (and there is a great chance that we will) then we will have to win vs Venezuela without Neymar, or risk getting eliminated! Oh boy. .... What to do? -Well first Neymar must cool his head, urgently. Otherwise he will see red. This referee won't wait for an excuse. -Fred must get the hell out of this like RIGHT NOW. Take a flight to wherever you came from, he can't even be called a professional footballer with the abilities he has, how the heck is he wearing the Seleção shirt?! And as a STARTER?! - If Coutinho has at least one usable leg remaining, he must be subbed in for Fred. Actually at this point I'd rather see Marcelo Grohe, our 3rd GK, playing as a AMF instead of Fred. - Fernandinho must be benched as well, he will see red if he stays, no doubt. Casemiro or DL in. Actually if we put DL we could switch to a 3-5-2 and try to revert this Colombian domination in the midfield.... Dunno if we even trained that formation though lol. - Overall I felt that there was too much space between our players in attack, so I'd try to make them play more closely, and if that attracts too many colombians to the center, use our SBs well. Dunga, time to show your ability as a coach. This game will be lost if nothing is done. Let's see what he can do.
I really hope Fred, Elias, and Fernandinho never wear the Selecao shirt after this tournament. With Fred, I hope he gets much better since he is still very young. Elias isn't good enough and he and Fernandinho are overwhelmed. Fred...no words. Playing with 2 destroyers and expecting to win with 0 creativity in midfield is ridiculous and the sooner Dunga realizes the sooner we are on track.
