It isnt the full national team though is it ? Mainly under 23's ?

Amateurs, I thought. Look at amir khan. Happy to be told wrong.

Fuck. Top five. England, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, Holland. Cruyff turn, Spain are jcl's. Germany nowhere close. France got lucky.

Why is Olympic football so exciting

Gabriel needs a bit of De Bruyne in his life.

Gabriel Jesus has done nothing to justify his price tag. Especially if you think Sadiq Umar cost Roma 2,5 mln EUR, while Etebo cost Fairense 0,5 mln EUR. Meanwhile we spent 20 mln pounds on a guy just because he's Brasilian.

He's a very talented prospect who has the talent to be one of the best players on the planet,thats why we've paid the potential bargain price of 20m now.

However,youre problem is obvious.....he isnt Nigerian.

I watched up until half-time. He had slightly more influence than against South Africa.. he had a header that went close and a turn and shot that sent close. The commentary said after about 35 mins that he and Gabigol were lively. But he was getting very frustrated. It was quite a decent game but very physical and lots of time wasting. The crowd was getting frustrated.

It looks an extraordinarily difficult position for a young man to play - sole striker in a team that is struggling to get him the ball. If Neymar struggles we can't be too critical.

I doubt on what I have seen that he is going to go straight into the 1st team. He might make the bench and play in Cups. Obviously this is based on very limited amount of playing time in a struggling team where no one played well. Best thing about him was his attitude. Very committed and desperate to win.

No. That went out with the ark.

Pretty sure it's only boxing now where if you turn pro you can't compete. All the track and field stars are paid, same with the golf, football, handball (in Qatars case), tennis, rowing (GB's case), pretty much all of them.
