Brazil - not all that

[dazzer6666]

Mediocre.

The Mexico news reporter is a bit of all right

They'll get through the group stage but then lose in the second round

I'm amazed at this World Cup how many people don't universally love Brazil. I thought it was the law that they were everyone's second team but loads people hate them it seems. Or is this just younger generation so used to snipping at everything that you gotta hate 'em cause too many like 'em?

You seem to have confused hatred with overrated. Totally different things.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

He was their best player tonight, he genuinely is quality - the rest of the team let him down.

he's certainly quality but not in the league of players who can carry a team to glory by themselves (eg Messi)...

Jo is on. The man, rookie Steve Cook kept quiet on THAT night at Withdean.

Are you sure?
I seem to remember Jo's picture on the front of the programme, but thought that he didn't even travel with the squad that night. Or am I confusing him with someone else they'd just signed?
Also, Cook only came on for the last few minutes but then also got an extra half hour of extra time, didn't he?
I'm really starting to doubt my memory of that night now.

I've missed much of this game - has Jonathan Pearce invented any controversy? Seen any goals that hit side netting? Or struggled with linear events happening in general? Or is he sober tonight?

Pearce tonight Brazil will qualify for the 2nd Round for the 18th time in a row,erm 1966 Johnathan Portugal and Hungary finished above them in the Group .

I thought I would never live to see the day that Brazil had a worse centre-forward than Serginho in 1982 but I think Fred may just nick it.

Totally ineffectual.

Mexico, on the other hand, would turn us over.

Serghinoscored 2 goals at Spain 82 ,will Fred get 1?

That was Robinho. "Who needs Robinho, we've got Adam Virgo. La la la la la..."

Hate them and always have (I'm 37 btw). I know a few other NSC'ers that share this view. Hate them because they cheat, they dive, they get all the decisions their way, commentators go way over the top with superlatives for them and I especially hate how people follow them 'because they are good'. As many others have said, they are the Man Utd of international football.

Holland, Germany, Italy and several other sides will rip them a new one, just like the Europeans did in the last world cup.

Julio Cesar looks like Paul Blart Mall Cop

 

[Puppet Master]

The fact England have defeated them AND drawn with them in their own backyard in recent times suggests no, they're not.

 

[DJ Leon]

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - If they're not all that do you wanna give me some ludicrous odds on them reaching the final? 10-1? maybe?

 

[Hiney]

They've obviously got good PLAYERS, but that doesn't make them a good TEAM

As the game went on last night, Neymar just tried to do everything on his own, and ended up disappearing up his own ******** most of the time.

They need to stop believing their own publicity and start playing TOGETHER

 

[Bozza]

Shit house at the back today thus far. Levels-your-devils is the least Cameroon deserve.

 

[Bladders]

Dogshit at the back, nothing likeable about this Brazil team either.

 

[Ernest]

Wait for the dodgy referee decision to make sure Brazil are ok

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Stop Oscar and Neymar and Brazil will fold. Though I dont expect Cameroon to be that tactically aware

 

[The Modfather]

Limahl now on for a hat trick
