Near that bloke who lives near me.
Will he do the honourable thing and fall on his sword? The crowd were giving him some stick last night (ten goals conceded in Brazil's last two games, don't forget), and the media have been less than flattering about his selections and style.

Heard he wasn't resigning but leaving it to the Brazilian FA to make the decision.

A hard one, that.

I reckon he'll get the sack tomorrow/next week sometime. No way he's going to be allowed to keep his job after the last two games in the WC.

Aye. Very unfair though as in the last match, he was outdone by a tactical genius ;-)

Joking apart Brazil were fucking woeful and I think he should be gone. Hopefully Roy will follow suit.
 
Read on twitter that brazil football federation approached mourinho for the job? .They need a european manager who is not tactically naive and mou can do a good job for them if he takes over.

If Mourinho became manager of Brazil, I think I'd give up on international football. Luckily, the brazilian public would never stand for it, they couldn't even stand Dunga for being negative and he'd won a bloody WC or them!

England were exciting to watch which was pretty refreshing ,its just that roy did not have the guts to bench steve gerrard and rooney that england failed so miserably.In order for england to do well,the older gen of dead wood must call it quits,i mean look at the game vs uruguay where gerrard gifted the goal on a plate for suarez,such kind of errors are not acceptable in high profile matches,he is past it,the faster he retires the better.

The thing is, he had a decent squad to choose from, but he persisted with Hulk and Fred and other's of that ilk.
For all the criticism of Fred and Hulk, attack really wasn't the problem though was it? It was the complete lack of an defensive shape or tactics, along with having no midfield to speak of. It has to be one of the worst organised teams I've ever seen.
 
Should not have returned for the 2nd spell. He saw his name in flashing lights again and forgot to factor in his fairly average managerial record since 2002.

No, but he didn't really set them up with much attacking shape or discipline either. The front line of attack is often your first line of defence. Their attack often had no shape, no specific roles, often went alone instead of smartly using the ball etc. If they had been set up better and more astutely all over the starting 11, they wouldn't have seen such a disastrous collapse against Germany.

But do they have enough flair players who can execute such kind of free flowing football.I don't think so and more over now it mainly revolves around tactics and mind games,so i think mou is fit for the job,atleast he can provide a good foundation after recent debacles so other people can take over and build on.Brazil are still dwelling in their past glory.

Tend to agree with this.
The ludicrous over-expectation in Brazil that this tournament would be a mere cakewalk to them being crowned champions was utterly ignoring the fact that the squad was paper thin, and without doubt the worst Brazil team I have ever seen in my lifetime.
That said, even accepting that he can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, his team selections, substitutions, tactics and motivational skills have been non-existent.
As to his future, there is more chance of Rolf Harris presenting CBeebies than there is Scolari keeping his job.
 
Things have got to the stage where they simply must get a new broom to sweep clean. To leave him in post would be to embrace failure. Not to mention sparking a near riot.
 
Brazil have some above average players and a couple of class players and a couple of terrible players, but the manager is clueless, just my opinion.

when your forward line options contain jo, hulk and fred you have got no chance of success.

They are the least Brazilian Brazilians I have ever seen.

They would have been a much better side had Scolari picked Felipe Luis, Fernandinho, Coutinho, Willian, Diego Costa, and a few others, more or at all.

Saying that they'd still be nowhere near the level of their last team to win the WC with Lucio, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Gilberto, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Ronaldo.
