You guys forgot they got Piszczek, a left winger, for free from a team being relegated down. He is an unsung hero. He is the reason ronaldo was so quiet. | ||

Nowadays it's just like whos playing for brazil except for Neymar?Robinho was never really considered solid core for good future...Maybe while he was in Santos but even then there were (wise) people who never believed in him. Ronaldinho from the national team was never the Ronaldinho from clubs. I remember only one game, in 2002, when he dominated; and even then he got sent off on the 2nd half. Adriano was good, unfortunately he can't keep his shit together so he ended up like this(fat and unable to find a team that wants him). Nowadays we have Neymar(Who is useless until he Stops attention whoreing, goes to europe and learns how to play tactically), Oscar(Who is legit, but hasn't reached his peak IMO), Lucas Moura(who has improved a lot since he went to PSG). These are the main three up and coming players we have. If I was the coach and the World cup was tomorrow, I would start with this 11: Julio Cesar, David Luiz(Maybe Dante), Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Dani Alves(I really miss Maicon ), Ramires, Arouca(We don't have a great defensive midfielder, perhaps I would make Luiz play CDM and have Dante as a starter), Oscar, Lucas, Neymar, Fred.Apart from 2 or maybe 3 players, this is the squad 99% of people I know agree is the best. The problems are: Marcelo and Dani alves are both attacking players, it would be better if we had a defensive right back instead of Dani Alves; out of the four players of the offensive side, only one has world cup experience(Fred). Also we tend to choke hard on importante matches, Neymar for example is shaping up to be another Ronaldinho, amazing at club level but only decent at the national team. | ||

Wow, a player scoring 4 goals against Real, whole world knows your name overnight.Anyway, does Real have a chance in Madrid or what? I can see them scoring 3 goals more than I can see Barca scoring 4 but then again didn't watch. | ||

Neither Bayern nor Dortmund are through, yet. The chances for seeing a german finals are high, but there's still two games to be played. I'm really happy with the outcome, of course, and would looove to see a german final. BVB-Bayern games were amazing the last few years. I think Bayern is slightly stronger than Dortmund, but a single deciding game on neutral grounds can certainly go either way. On April 25 2013 07:00 Rebs wrote: you mean counter attacking ? Thats been around a while. I think he's talking about how quickly the entire Dortmund (and Bayern) team get into defensive posture when they lose possession. German media has been all over the fact that strikers run into their own halves to assist in defense in german football nowadays. | ||

There is no effing way Barca can take a clean 4-0 victory over Bayern or Real to win 3-0, Bayern and Dortmund would, if anything, score at least once even if they lose. They are through. | ||

It must be hard to motivate yourself to give your 100% when you've just 4-0ed or 4-1ed that same opponent. I would be very, veeery surprised If both Barca and Real didn't win on home turf. If either of them can make a miracle happen, I don't know, but they're not out yet. That's all I'm saying. People get cocky and throw games they had in the bag all the time. | ||
