The Confederations Cup Thread/ City Player Watch.

Shearer another idiot. In recent years as in the last 20 Brazil have been defensive more often than not and they have often had the best defense in the world like in 2010. They were relatively defensive in 1990 and 94 as well.
 
Brazil played out of their skins tonight.

But Del Bosque got his team selection wrong.

Mata and Torres should not have started. It really is incredible that Torres is in the Spanish national squad
 
Impressive performance from Brazil but Spain looked jaded from their Semi Final game against Italy.

Serves Spain right. Going through the middle didnt work so manager brings on direct, lightning fast winger and they continue to play through the middle and not pass it out wide.

Thats what I thought brought Navas on but hardly passed to him.

But still won penalty and got a couple of corners.

And even tracked b ack/
 
I liked that observation from the commentator then; They are a team, they don't wear headphones and cut themselves off on the coach to the match. I really hope that Mr Pellegrini puts his foot down and tells our players to take off those silly headphones and talk to each other as team mates. Just my humble opinion!

4 of his 5 goals were against Tahiti though, the other against Nigeria. He did fook all when it mattered against Italy and Brazil. He's just an average striker nowadays with the occasional flashes of goodness.

Doesnt change the fact he scored the most goals. Next you will be saying Messi is no good because he scores most of his goals against inferior opposition.

No, but anyone who can't see the decline in Torres is blind. You know he scored ONE goal between December and the end of the season in the league, right? Some people are so desperate to see this once great player return to his best (after 3-4 years of mediocrity) they cling to anything they can. Every goal for Chelsea = HE'S BAAAAACK! ... followed by weeks of no goals.

I agree he will never be the player he was. Just the Torres bashing does get a bit boring,especially when he's just collected a Golden Boot in this tournament
