A) Loads have people have said this is a crap Brazil team.

B) They probably play against better teams than any European nation does in qualifying/friendlies. He has 22 goals and 13 assists in not even 36 caps. Pisses all over any other top striker's international record, never mind a wide man.

C) I bet people don't admit they were wrong. They'll just deny that they ever said he was overrated. Same as they did with Ibra (another player that they obviously didn't watch regularly and it took a hat trick against the great England for them to take notice).

A. Brazil are by no means a crap team. They aren't at the same level they were, but most of their starters play at the top level of club football.

B.Goals against:
USA/Scotland/Ecuador/Costa Rica/China/Iraq/Japan/Colombia/Bolivia/Chile... they aren't exactly top quality teams.
Fair enough he did score against Germany, Argentina and Mexico.

C. I've never said Neymar isn't talented (not saying you've said I have btw), he clearly has the potential to be a wonderful player. But until he does it at the highest level, for me he is not what i would regard as world class.

just my opinion.

I've said it many times but look at someone like C.Ronaldo's international record. Neymar has scored more goals against top teams at 21 than he has at 28.

I don't think Portugal are quite the team Brazil are in fairness, but i do see your point.
IMO internationals aren't the place to judge players. if they were then Neymar, Milan Baros and Alexander Frei would be world class.

I'm certainly interested to see how Neymar does at Barcelona, particularly in a system wherein the team is more important than the individual.
 
A taste of reffing for the next WC dictated by FIFA more than the refs.
 
Awful penalty decision, shocking that the commentators are defending it. Commentators have been poor. Apparently Pirlo was at the peak of his powers at Euro 2012. Italians have been sloppy.
 
Terrible reffing there, Buffon won the ball.

Italy been poor so far, need to keep possession like normal but speed up passing and movement through the centre. Japans movement will be key, very fit team and they will close spaces the Italians need to exploit.

They miss Totti, they really do.

He was player of the tournament in my opinion, he was an absolute marvel.

Not so much Totti but anyone to link midfield to Balotelli. Cassano could. Giaccherini not great, imo. Giovinco might succeed here.

Iniesta was the better player imo and good subsitution by Prandelli, Aqualani was all over the place.
 
United are wasting Kagawa so so so much playing him out of position. He's a great player.
