We are not terrible. Brazil was underwhelming in the first half but Brazil has run over Costa Rica in the second. We hit the post and Keylor Navas made good saves. The man plays at Real Madrid. This is not the Costa Rica of the 1980s.
Normally I'd keep Paulinho in given his versatility and the fibra he brings to the defensive midfield, but at this point, we need to score.
I'd be surprised if he hadn't. He was very detailed when he led your Corinthians and he brought that to the national team Agreed. Hence the offensively minded substitution.
Douglas Costa has been better than William. But I've noticed that he's hesitated a few times and managed to lose the ball because of it. Frustrating game.
I just have this nagging feeling in my gut and I'm hoping someone could help me out.... There's a reason why I've been tempering any optimism with Selecao since 2010.
