Wow Oscar has to score that.

 

[Pringle]

He did a month ago and played against USA in the gold cup, I don't think he should in our first team but dont chat shit

lol someone got out of bed the wrong side this morning! He played against the same Brazil team as are here today (a warm up for the olympics) and the USA team with how many top 4 players playing for them (in any major european league)?

GDS is over rated by many - we dont need to keep going over it as the facts are there.

Shame about Damiao's complete lack of cutting edge though... worrying if he's actually on his way.

Yeah, that is true. I'm sure he's a bit better than that normally - Brazil didn't really create anything for him.

GDS is doing a John Terry...

Are you sure? He just ducked under a Hulk cross?

 

[elDiablo]

laughing my ass off at oscar. Didnt see anything from him to warrant the 25mn fee plus exorbitant wages. Sadly LD didnt look for the high fee it would require to prize him away.

that lucas looked good when he came on.

Hmmm. You're right, it is a bit of a worry.

I thought Oscar was their best player, not saying too much, but Sandro wasn't exactly close to being decent today.

I agree he is overrated but matter of the fact was it was against the first team including the over 23's and it wasn't a warm up it was a friendly around the Euro's time(got time wrong). Also that same US team matched England in the World cup. Also a dumb rating how mature

ALso back on topic Menezes was told according to brazilian media, that he had to win this tournament to keep his job

I disagree with Oscar being their best player as they were all shit except for Leandro who was given no service except for scraps

Really?! I thought he was awful, totally failed to knit the team together like he has done in the previous matches and Brazil fell apart without him doing so.

That was ALL my first comment said, so why reply with "dont chat shit" if you agree? A dumb rating was given for the fact you told me im chatting shit even though you ve said above you agree with my comment :giggle:

The team that played against Mexico had the same players as today except the keeper (he got injured on the eve of the olympics so pulled out) and Rafael. Hulk started that game but started on the bench today.

Mexico fully deserved that win, no two ways about it.

I thought Oscar was poor. He was so laboured. I thought he was going to be the one to get the ball and start running the game for them, dictating the tempo but he did absolutely nothing. The only player who made any kind of impact was Hulk.

 

[Pinto]

Was not impressed at all with Leandro. Granted he didn't get much service but just would have liked to see more fight in him.

I actually thought Sandro was very good, once he went off their team structure went to shite and they could never keep hold of the ball. Sure he didn't have much to do but in that team he is a water carrier type that gets the ball from point A to point B instead of making Modric type through balls.

I will say I am shocked how bad Rafael was. That was terrible to watch from him. Glad someone on the Brazil team gave him a little shite at the end there as he deserved it.

Agreed, I was really impressed by Hulk. Was one of the poorest Brazil performances ive seen in a long time - absolutely no fluidity to their play.

 

[fatpiranha]

Kerching!

 

[Cloud_Nine]

Oscar, Marcelo, Romulo and Sandro been Brazils best players the entire tournament. I'd probably opt for Oscar as "the" best. Missed a fucking sitter, but doesn't hide the fact he's run the show most of the other games. Still don't think Hulk is worth anything over 25m, and Leandro is overrated

 

[C0YS]

Hulk was Brasil's best player today. But the game it's self was great. Loved it!

 

[jamesc0le]

leandro's expressions remind me a little of ibrahimovic. slight worry there.
