he's 21 and not getting any younger, kind of needs to be thrown in at the deep end.
If anyone, is watching the Italy vs Spain match, 1-1 btw, Spain looking to make a comeback, they just scored a penalty kick, though Torres got hurt, anyways, great match so far.
I don't understand why they are holding so many friendlies after some leagues have already started and some leagues are about to start. At least for the premier league, it seems a bit excessive to hold a meaningless friendly just 3-4 days before a league game given that the result is not important and that injuries are possible.

It's a bit strange yes, but it is important that national teams get their time to play together over the course of the year. Also games like Germany vs Brazil and Spain vs Italy are never really meaningless ^^
ye tbh I cheered against Brazil tonight. If we don't get rid of this coach asap I don't see a good future for the team. He stinks and he invites players who are under the same manager as he is in order to inflate their market value. Just a shame.
Don't want to compare Neymar to anyone else, we will never know his true potential until he plays against decent competition in a league (the brazilian league is very weak). We should all give him the benefit of the doubt though as he scored 6 times for Brazil in 10 matches. That's pretty good for a 19 year old
Latvia - Finland 0-2 Good win for us. We are going throe hard generation chance T_T. Even tho Latvia was bad today, game showed lot of positive signs. Also finnish fans beat latvian ones on stands also .

Neymar will be a star no doubt about that, but will he be the best of the next generation ? hmmm ...
Well this is his career statistics:
app: 135 goals: 69
His is just 19 years old like Goatze, but he was named Player of the Year last year in Brazil (aged 18) and was the best player of our Champions League (Copa Libertadores) this year, aged 19. That fact and goals like these made Santos put a price tag of 45 million on him. If European clubs are willing to pay for it that's their problem.
Nahhhhhh i don't say that his statistics aren't good nor he has no talent. I just said that his price tag is inflated as fuck. 45 mio € for a 19 year old who's never played in the big european leagues. That is only inflated. But well it's only Real Madrid who's willing to pay this price (cuz they are stupid, ~60 mio € for Kaka and 90 for Ronaldo kekeke).
