OK let me just put this into persepective.
Slavutych Cherkasy, the team that he scored against, is in the 3rd Division of Ukraine.

Ganso wrote:I think you havent been following our NT recently, because Filipe Luis has like 1-2 starts since Scolari took over and Maxwell has started most of our games post confederations cup and was one of our best players in every single one of those matches.BusterLfc wrote:Ganso wrote:So we have been calling up the same players for years and now you guys are baffled by how are squad is average?Look, we learned our lesson in 2006.We had WC players in every position and it was one of our worst WC teams EVER.Scolari and the fans have accepted and embraced the simple fact that being a good team does not require amazing individuals and team>>>>>individuality.We have had our team formed for ages and we weren't going to add names like Coutinho and Filipe Luis to mess up what the NT has been doing for the last 2 years since Scolari took over.The only player I do agree that should have been on the squad is Miranda over Henrique.The rest is fine.We will play with the same starting 11 we have played with in the past couple of years and with the same playing style(pressing high, creative FBs,tactical fouls,Nerman with the free role,athleticism etc)
Maxwell had his debut only few months ago for Brazil, he is also new to the NT and having him instead of Filipe Luis who had his debut before Maxwell is absurd.
That maybe true, but still, not even giving a chance to Filipe Luis to show what he's capable of is a disgrace, he should've been called for one of the friendlies before the WC.

Re: World Cup 14 Squads Discussion
NT's are not always about the quality of the players as the teams tbh, compared to club tournaments. Chemistry is so important when you only play max 10 games a year with each other instead of 50. That is why you can't just pick players who haven't played on the team up to a WC.

Diego Alves should of gotten the call just based on his penalty saving stat, i mean how handy would it come in a shootout..

Re: World Cup 14 Squads Discussion
I'm slightly disappointed at the exclusion of Felipe Luiz and Diego Alves but I was already expecting that.
I would have liked to see Coutinho instead of Hernanes or Jo just to give him some experience.
at the extreme butthurt by some people because their club players weren't called.

Is it just me or is the hype around the World Cup not as much as in previous years?

Re: World Cup 14 Squads Discussion
Well, probably in the preliminary squad.urbaNRoots wrote:Löw will release his preliminary World Cup squad tomorrow, Khedira, Klose and Gomez have a sure place despite being almost all season out (according to Bild)
BTW, I'm most curious which GKs Jogi Löw will nominate. Manuel Neuer is a given, but then he has a number of GKs where he can't really do anything wrong anyway - from Roman Weidenfeller to Bernd Leno and Marc-André ter Stegen. And even GKs like Oliver Baumann, Kevin Trapp and Ralf Fährmann would probably have no problems to get into most other NTs (bar maybe Spain, Italy and Switzerland).
Oh, and talking about Switzerland - I would still prefer Yann Sommer to become the number 1 with Diego Benaglio as Nr.2. (And for Nr.3, I'm really curious whether Ottmar Hitzfeld will nominate Roman Bürki or Marwin Hitz, now that the original Nr.3 Marco Wölfli is injured.)

Henrique over Castan
Leandro just can't buy a break....has been the best Brazilian CB all season full stop and what does Felipao do? Picks a scrub from an average defense instead.

Can't disagree with Löw's selections really. 7 of 30 won't make the official squad.

No Gomez? I thought his spot was assured.
Poor Gundogan.

Pity one can't take more players than 23 to a World Cup.

Löw thinks we're going to win the World Cup with a bunch of U19 players. Bless him.

And maybe we would, if he wasn't coaching them

Well, the bunch of U19 kids did manage to save Schalke's season despite all the injuries of the experienced players.

Volland is a great forward from what I've seen. I hope that he won't start Klose instead of him.
