What a player he is, was gutted when he left Milan

I wasn't, fucking delighted to have him at Juve. Completely turned us around into a winning side again.

Italy are going to find it hard to replace him.

Now that is an example of a proper Talisman for your National side.

Instead, us English have a team full of wankers.

Def a pen. Good decision

 

[YiddoInPoland]

What a tool

 

[Snarfalicious]

Johnny Two Saints. LOL.

 

[DuDe]

Pen. Come on Mexico.

 

[DuDe]

Nicely taken pen. Now we have a game.

 

[Syn_13]

Fuck's sake. Love the consistency in awarding pens. Not saying that wasn't a pen, but he should've given ours too...

 

[Blackcanary]

Thought this one would be cagey, but it's been really good open end-to-end stuff!

 

[Cavehillspur]

Good game this. Lol at the Ray Mysterio masks in the crowd.

Impossible to do, At Milan we had to change the whole system.

Maybe Verratti will eventually become that sort of player but we will have to see

Pirlo was a free transfer 2 years ago mad

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Pirlo is magnificent

Veratti looks to be the the direct replacement.

Promising signs for them.

Yep still stand by that Defence nowhere good enough 2 win world cup, u mention fernandinho marquinhos Rafael but quess what there not in the squad & u can only judge on team manager picks & that team haven't a chance of winning a world cup, that pairing in midfield I've never seen 2 brasillian midfielders pass a ball backwards or sideways as much in my life when u compare the the scintequential cm for Brasil in the past Socrates to those 2 they wouldn't b fit to polish his boots,

whilst they aren't in the team yet I think they will be potentially in a years time, also they have injuries forcing them to field that CM

Dani Alves is Kyle walker on crack absolute headcase, marcelo another headbanger & as bozo the clown at centre half u might as well ask the village idiot to play.

Whilst Alves may be poor defending he still one of the best attacking rbi's and as for Luiz, he is poor at CB but he is very good at DM or potentially LB

Hulk can't be relied on 1 minute he looks great the next he looks like emile heskey, if u think u can win a world cup with that lot u need to get a grip, no top class striker Fred is a good finisher but for rest of time he might as well not b playing.

Everyone that watches would of told you that he isn't as good as the hype and shouldn't be in the squad tbh

Only Thiago silva Oscar & Neymar that played tonight are Top class.

LOL Lucas Moura looked brilliant, Paulinho looked good and Cesar is a good keeper. You have to remember they have Ramires, Sandro, Lucas, Ganso, Leandro, Costa(who had a awesome debut according to world soccer) to come back in

Definately still the worst Brasil team I've ever seen & that will b proved when they meet Germany or Spain at next summers real showtime

Also that defence as bad as it is, is just as good as Germany's

Dante has been one of the worlds best defenders if not the best this season

Schmelzer - Hummels - Mertesacker - Lahm

Marcelo - Dante - Silva - Alves

I would rather have the Brazil's to be honest and it is worth noting that though Dante don't play for Brazil neither does Hummels for Germany tbh and the spainish defence for next season wont be great but potentially better depending where Pique's and Ramo's heads are.

Alba - Pique - Ramos - Ramos

Verratti is going to take some time to bed in. He's the closest we have to a Pirlo replacement coming through the ranks, but he has a lot to learn yet. Hogs the ball too much at times and tries to go for the harder options instead of simpler ones, stuff that he'll learn through experience.

I'm hoping he leaves PSG, he's better suited to playing in Italy. Can see Juve going for him as Pirlo retires.

 

[ClintEastwould]

That keeper pulled out of the save. There is no doubt about it!

yeh, wierd. maybe he didn't want to crash into the post?

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Wonder if we could get Hernandez
