That doesn't make them weak Besides that they have creative CMs/CAMs in Pogba (on good days), Coutinho, Fekir, Fernandinho, etc.
Exactly, more industrious than creative. I don't think Brazil's are that creative, although they're definitely good players. I never said they were bad . But Pogba and Fernandinho are more about energy than creativity. Coutinho is more of a dribbler than a creator (his playmaking ability is quite overrated imo), although apparently Brazil will play him as a CM now, which will be more creative than before. Have to admit I don't know much about Fekir, but he also seems more of a dribbler and doesn't seem favored to start anyway. Ironically Brazil did have a very good deep-lying playmaker in Jorginho, but they neglected him for so long he became Italian.
Here are my predictions. First the group standings: Group A Egypt Russia Uruguay Saudi Arabia Group B Spain Morocco Portugal Iran Group C Denmark Peru France Australia Group D Croatia Iceland Argentina Nigeria Group E Brazil Switzerland Serbia Costa Rica Group F Germany Mexico Sweden Korea Republic Group G Belgium England Tunisia Panama Group H Japan Senegal Poland Colombia R16: Morocco over Egypt Denmark over Iceland Brazil over Mexico Belgium over Senegal Spain over Russia Peru over Croatia Switzerland over Germany England over Japan Quarterfinals: Denmark over Morocco Brazil over Belgium Spain over Peru Switzerland over England Semifinals: Brazil over Denmark Spain over Switzerland Finals: Brazil over Spain
i believe i said i would donate my left nut to science. and the offer still stands. i think @chook90 had it in his sig for a while (or still does?).
If Korea wins the whole thing, I will buy 30 of you (first come, first serve basis) minimum $1000 dinner.
thats weak, how is that a move up from donating your balls to science. just castrate yourself if we win.
