Have Brazil, yes Brazil not get any better forwards than Hulk, Jo and Fred?

Bloimey

No keepers, no strikers, everything was midfield.

 

[Manager]

DAT Fernandinho, already got the crowd to scream several times. Bringing the samba football to Brazil.

 

[Koko]

Has hulk even had a shot on target this world cup?

Yes....

But then it was ruled out because a handball.

 

[Suen]

Better than your Italian shit.

Do one.

Cuadrado has been dogshit, destroying every Colombia attack

He's much better than this. Having a really bad game.

 

[Lightning]

This post isn't funny.

Neither was yours. Nationality of player doesn't matter, quality of player is what counts. Debuchy is steady, experienced and a solid purchase for 8m. If accurate.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Nasri never bit someone, he just crushed millions of Arsenal fan's hearts (and was bit of a dick in France).

He's not alone in chosing a higher salary!

My point was that interviews like that are pr bullshit.

Nasri is a cunt and France national team are trying to get rid of their cunts. Good move to let him stay home.

 

[Zabojnik]

Cuadrado has been dogshit, destroying every Colombia attack

Yeah, he's at his worst tonight.

 

[Suen]

lol that slim hulk guy.

 

[ShogunDarius]

MAN U want him, I say thats good XD

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Yeah, he's at his worst tonight.

Does he often play like this?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Does he often play like this?

He was their second best player before this game.

 

[Manager]

My point was that interviews like that are pr bullshit.

I'm saying that he changed on the pitch, he used to be a lazy shit since day one but after Pellegrini arrived he's now one of the hardest working players on the pitch. Put off a lot of weight and helps out tonnes defensively.

It was just not a bunch of PR interviews, anyone who watched City last season knows he's one of the main reasons City won the league. Silva, Aguero was always fantastic, but with new Nasri they had the final fantastic midfielder City needed.

 

[EmiPrime]

I'm saying that he changed, last summer, had many deep interviews where he explained what he's went through and how his view on life is changed. I'm not saying I know his personality but at least he's much more comitted at City off and on the pitch. It will take years to get the French to change their opinion on him but I really think he's a better person now.

PR nonsense. He made his bed, now he has to lie in it.

People are criticising Deschamps for playing an obviously unfit Sakho (wasting a substitution), not starting with Giroud, persisting with Evra and taking Valbuena off when him and Griezmann were the only players making anything happen. Nasri is the furthest thing from anyone's mind right now.

 

[GQman2121]

Hardcore fingerage there from that fan. Lol

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Neymar you're shit

 

[Zabojnik]

Does he often play like this?

He used to a couple of seasons back, but he's improved tenfold since moving to Fiorentina. I guess it's just one of those matches for him.

 

[Steverulez]

That is more likely.

Wouldn't be surprised or particularly disappointed if we sold him. We could easily make a decent amount of profit on him at this point is there was a taker

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Dirty

It's not PR nonsense, he's had the 2nd highest goals and assists of his career after several years of poor performances.

Thanks for the input though, always interesting to know. Evra was shit today, stopped running when he should've helped out defensively.

Nationality matters when our manager employs lazing scouting. Basically if you are French /play in France you are his first choice.

 

[pappe]

Yes....

But then it was ruled out because a handball.

Even that was off his knee.

 

[bud]

fernandinho will have to kill someone to get a yellow.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Fernandinho again. Amazing.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

How does Fernandinho still not have a yellow

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Fernandinho must have commited 4 fouls now without so much as a warning :s

 

[Manager]

Fernandinho got away with 15 fouls or something last match without a card, this is what he does. Such a nice man, referee's knows he's not doing it of malice.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Fernandinho is the new Mark van Bommel

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

I wouldn't be overly surprised to see PSG come knocking again next season.

 

[FootballFan]

Fernandinho might be worse than song.

Can't confirm it yet.

 

[Showaddy]

Didn't Fernandinho commit 6 or 7 fouls without getting a card last match as well lol?

 

[Zabojnik]

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I'm more inclined to believe that its because he's Brazilian

 

[L1NETT]

Don't say such hurtful things

 

[Meier]

Fellaini had 8 fouls against the US and literally complained vocally after every single one and didn't get a yellow. Refs are keeping cards in their pocket unless it looks like a potentially harmful foul.

I am not denying that Nasri is a very good player but the harmony of the group must come first.

Valbuena was arguably our best player of the tournament and there is no way he would have been as good as he was with Nasri and Ribery around.

I have my doubts that working harder on the pitch, makes him less of a cunt in the dressing room, he got more than enough qualities to be in the squad if that was the merit alone he was going to be picked on (Deschamps was out saying that himself). However he has shown himself to be a cunt enough times, and Deschamps is having none of that.

On a national team as full of cunts as France's has been, it's probably for the better to leave all of them out for good now. Get a clean start.

You can understand why France didn't want to chance the dice on him though? It's not his on the pitch performances that were the issue it was the baggage and disruption to the harmony to the squad he has a reputation of causing that was the issue.

Been a lot of talk on my country's broadcasts that the refere's has gotten instructions to keep the cards in their pockets, specially with people "pushing" each other and heavy arguments. Just calming it all down and continue playing.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Bookings for persistent fouling need to become more common

Also, Marcelo escaped a booking for grabbing hold of someone's leg and dragging them down, when he would have been booked if it had been his shirt

FIFA need to look at some of the finer details of the rulebook

 

[Manager]

Valbuena was arguably our best player of the tournament and there is no way he would have been as good as he was with Nasri and Ribery around.

I'm not saying he should've started, but he would've been a fantastic asset to put on as a sub.

I know, I just feel he did everything he could to show that he's a changed man. Why did Deschamps put him back in the squad against for example Ukraine just before the world cup, only to remove him in the final squad? If he was such a dick, why didn't he just keep him out at all times?

Some rumours that Koscielny and some other guys said they wanted him out, that it was personal in the end.

 

[Plasma]

Trying not to go into full transfer muppet mode but Kike Marin just said that Suarez is going to Barca for 80m and Alexis is off to Arsenal.

Maybe he realized he was still the same fucking cunt as always, despite trying his best in interviews to state otherwise.

You're missing the point, it's not his position in the team or whether he starts. Deschamps didn't want him anywhere near the group. They spend a lot more time together in hotels, planes, coaches and training pitches than they do in actual matches.
