World Cup Match Thread Day 6

[Shadydan]

does Dzagoev not normally start? On the bench tonight.

Capello's not a fan.

Didn't know Ochoa was on a free this summer - would love him as a number 2!

Who is?
Was Herrara number 6,if so I thought he was very good and really surprised he was subbed.

Well I am. I know many will shoot me down, but I recognised a lot of quality and potential this year. Certainly enough for him not to have 'boo boys' already.

Definitely in a minority rating him, but I'm not going to not stand up and say I am just because he has had a lacklustre performance along with 10 others.

neymar's a greedy fuck, so easy to mark out of the game when you know exactly what he's going to do every single time.

Can't see him going anywhere to be a number 2 now

 

[Shadydan]

Don't know why Neymar gets so much criticism, he's the only one who was trying to do anything out there.

That's because he wouldn't pass the ball to anyone else

Maybe you should put together an individual highlights vid for those of us who still labour under the illusion that Paulinho is a bang average wasteman? Should only take a couple of minutes.

Ask someone who makes YouTube videos...

Yea was definitely more in hope rather than expectation but he has done his chances of a big move no harm whatsoever after tonight!

His team mates were utterly inept, when they had the ball the didn't do anything with it.

Neither did he except run sideways and end up losing the ball even when a few teammates were making decent runs off the ball or were in better positions.

There were times neymar ran into the box and lost it when a pass was on, if that was me I would give up making the runs also as you know you won't get it also.

I'm not saying it's all neymar a fault, but he isn't the answer in a "team" that can play. It only works for players like bale and Ronaldo for there country as they are head and shoulders above the rest.

 

[DuDe]

At least he didn't go all:

Missed the game but I was listening to a Brazilian journo the other day and he highlighted Scolari views Paulinho as the most important player as there is this feeling of when Paulinho plays well, Brazil plays well!

Based on their first 2 performances, he could be right.

Law of averages.

South Korea look great, obviously won't pull up any trees but this is what the WC is all about, playing some nice positive football.

Very comfortable on the ball.

They'll be better suited to this temperature you would think as well.

If they stay in the game there is every chance they could win it late on.

He's a fantastic keeper on his day, but he's always seemed a bit too much Gomes about him for my liking. He wasn't even expected to start at this world cup, as Herrera had preferred Jesus Corona until his injury. Also I can't see him going anywhere as a backup. He actually refused a Mexico call up recently because he wasn't going to be the starter.
