In Norway they are commemorating the greatest moment of football history today. It's been 20 years since we beat Brazil in the world cup and they're gonna play a rematch - with the same players. Fat Ronaldo on top for Brazil, slim - but with hips made out of metal - Tore Andre Flo for Norway.

The Brazil team is pretty stacked. In addition to Ronaldo, there's Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Emerson, Bebeto, Cesar Sampaio, Goncalves, Junior Baiano, Aldair, Ze Roberto, Giovanni, Edmundo, Gilberto Silva and Dida confirmed.

Will Brazil finally be able to beat Norway, or are we gonna extend it to a 5 game unbeaten streak?? Time will tell!

You mean Penaldo?

The Brazil team is pretty stacked. In addition to Ronaldo, there's Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Emerson, Bebeto, Cesar Sampaio, Goncalves, Junior Baiano, Aldair, Ze Roberto, Giovanni, Edmundo, Gilberto Silva and Dida confirmed.

So only Taffarel and Cafu missing from the first XI... Leonardo and Denilson also played after substitutions in that match. Carlos Germano, Zé Carlos, Doriva and André Cruz finish the 22

I assume they're getting some money- there are big sponsors involved. Aside from that there's been a lot of friendly trashtalk-banter going both ways. Ronaldo said 'I can't believe you guys are still talking about that game. It was just luck. ', and some version of 'we are going to restore Brazil's honor and glory and end this terrible streak once and for all'. So I think the Brazil players are doing it partially because they're getting paid and partially because they understand it's a really big thing in Norway and they think it sounds like a fun event.

it also supposedly took 4 years to make it happen.

Being offered a one week trip in Norway to play a football game with some old teammates does not sound like the most awful thing in the world, I don't think it required that much money to convince the Brazilians.

I've read "being offered a one way trip to Norway..." and wondered... But yeah, what you really wrote makes sense actually. Sure some act like divas and still ask for for lots of money, but in the end this is probably just a really well prepared class reunion, and if they really started prepping this 4 years ago... yeah... It was really well prepared and seems to get the proper result.

0-0 at half time. Ronaldo isn't playing. :'( Rivaldo is bad at running, but still got pretty wonderful technique. Ze Roberto is good. Rest of the team is sloow. :D

brazil was much better in the second half, or the norwegian players were much more tired. and we lost 3-0. :D very fun to see these old timers. But some players like ze roberto who quit last year were so much better than the norwegians that retired 15 years ago, not really balanced. :D

USA basically U23s (avg 6.5 caps per player) somehow got a tie against France 1-1. Was expecting a 5-0 thrashing or worse

Shameful performance from France. Players afraid from injuries, commited Americans, slow as fuck players with the physical prep, Griezmann, Mbappé and Pogba playing alone. Happily Fékir entered and somehow makes our full backs appear just because he's stretching the opponents defence. Terrible game. Classic Lloris blunder on their only shot. Umtiti is the biggest fraud, I don't know why Barça insisted on extending his contract, he already cost them a lot against Roma.

At least the Germans provided us a nice back up with Pavard and the Spanish with Hernandez. Both should be starters over Mendy and Sidibé.

Spain played terrible too. Nobody tried and everyone was afraid of injures too. Only Aspas did something (I think he should be Spain main forward, he is more suited to Spain playstyle than Costa and Rodrigo in my opinion). Thiago made too many defensive mistakes last two matches, I'm starting to think that Koke would be better than him.

Why did the Austrians stop playing? They were going toe to toe against Brazil and suddenly they stopped playing around the 55 minutes mark. Pretty sure there were some instructions. It was like day and night.
