World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 14 (27 June)

Let him try and successfully do it on a sunny day in North London against Burnely before giving him the Stoke test.

That horror shot attempt he had was away at Turf Moor, wasn't it?

Serbia not looking like they'll score.

 

[mark87]

Does the Serbian goalkeeper have a school tie around his head? Has he just left year 11?

 

[Spursh]

Milinkovic-Savic and Matic are too slow on the turn in central midfield to combat that likes of Neymar and Courinho. Plus Serbia could do with the Milinkovic-Savic’s unique skill-set closer to Mitrovic up front.

Turns out it was at Turf Moor. Was the time his attempt to trap the ball resulted in it bouncing up and hitting him in the face in the same game?

Savic is a good player but I'm really struggling to see the €100M price tag on him. Kovacic is better than him.

 

[Anurag Jo]

Willian was poor in the first two games and when Costa came on against Costa Rica, Brazil looked a lot better. Despite that Tite is still choosing Willian in this game. What is that about?

Costa is injured. Could be out for the rest of the world cup.

Yeah he's an excellent fit for serie A, not so sure he would make an impact in a league where everything isn't moving in slow motion.

Oh, I have totally missed that

You can get used to it. Remember Sandro saying he was utterly shocked at the pace of the prem in his first league game for us, but look how good a player he ended up being for us.

I feel quite sorry for the younger generation, who drool over Neymar, not having seen Ronaldhino, Big Ronaldo, Romario, Rivaldo et al.

Neymar wouln't have got close to the Brazil 82 side..

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Pundits fairly derogatory about Neymar too. Saying he has 'too much power at psg".

Already had to threaten to wash my nephew's mouth out with a bar of soap after he declared Neymar to be the best Brazilian footballer ever.

I stand corrected Huge*hy

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Coutinho's better than Neymar

 

[spursfan1991]

That Paulinho lad looks a player, any links?

 

[LSUY]

Fat Ronaldo.

The only time someone is glad they're remembered for being fat. Rather Fat Ronaldo than Transvestites Ronaldo.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Coutinho's better than Neymar

He is a seriously good player. Gets better every season. Barca actually came out well swapping Neymar for Cout.

Footballing gods not on Serbia's side
