Brazil vs Italy

Friendlies can only be hyped if both sides have multiple world cups

I agree, it was a great game with really skillful players on both sides, so much passing and so much attacking. Of course these two teams have won nearly half of all the World Cups, 9 out of 19.

Pirlo looks like he should be in a Star Wars film

Pirlo was the main character in an award winning movie called 'Argo'

Watch it and all will become clear young Jedi.

Neymar - Brazil's best player. 29 games - 29 starts - 17 goals - 11 assists. Equalled O Fenômeno's record of 16 goals in first 25 games.


Shit though huh?

He sorted out his hair too

Why is Scolari misusing both Oscar and Neymar?? Why is that scrub Hulk still getting gametime? Why is the real Fernando not on the squad? Why is Fred still playing for Brazil?

So many questions, so little answers.

WOAT manager tbh.

SES's hair is so thoroughly ridiculous that I'm not even sure what to say

Lamps top 5 player, Gerrard back to his best, Wilshere world class, etc.

I will have to soon also tbh.... my problem with Balo in England wasn't his work rate or childish moments or finishing etc etc....

It was his frustrating inconsistent technique and link up play.

Since going back to Milan it seems a lot better now and his passing is clean and crisp.

He wouldn't be the first player to suffer technically in England either which should be looked into IMO.

The huge emphasis on strength and pace is just

Aguero doesn't look the same player either tbh, Balo got out while he could

Same against Brazil it wasn't his goal that impressed me most or his off the ball movement but his technique and passing which impressed me.

I hope to see more of it over the coming months and years.

Yet players like RVP thrive in spite of being technical?

Balo didn't survive because he had too much competition and is not consistent enough to earn a starting spot. Aguero is suffering because of injuries and the separation from his wife and kid.

it was a Balotelli that was rarely seen at City. seems like a changed man, no surprise he is much more comfortable playing in italy. He never complimented Citys strikers well and he wasnt really utilized correctly mostly (mehcini )

Balo's newfound success goes beyond just facing too much competition.

And I doubt Aguero's injuries would have him forget on how to dribble a ball lol.


OT:

Marcelo and Balo

And I forgot to mention what an absolutely stunning game this way. The sheer technique and aesthetic excellence between both sides was an absolute joy to watch. One of the finest games on a technical level of the year, bar none. It has further reinstated that Prandelli is the GOAT man for the job and as a manager on whole basis, while Brazil have an interesting project.

Felipao has a long way to go in forming his ideas for his squad and the right blend of players to account for the best possible chemistry as this has sparked a recently absent interest in a project that I will be observing with interest.

Much respect to Brazil after today.

Comments like that caused you to feel rage?

Who said anything about rage? The overreaction made me point out it was a friendly but I never felt rage or was angry about it.

Balo didn't succeed in Man City because HE didn't WANT to. He wasn't happy and clearly wanted out. I wold take him over any Man City forwards.

Sorry but this isn't true he couldn't control a simple ball or pass properly.... His italy performances were the same while he was in England.

There is a direct correlation between players getting worse technically while in england this is fact i doubt even if he wanted to succeed he would have done.

Its not really a surprise he is thriving under a slow tempo with more emphasis on technique training and less on weight training.

Marcelo was great in the little time he played

Marcelo looked a little fat. When he came on, I was wondering why Santos had grown an afro

Mole is spot on in this thread.

Hazard couldn't dribble for like 2 months after an excellent start to the season.

Ronaldo lost his creativity and inventiveness in ENG and became a goal machine.

While both Aguero and Silva are both plain shit these days.

The PL is a nightmare League to play in for technicians.
