Edvaldo Jizídio Neto = Vava
Arthur Antunes Coimbra = Zico
Waldyr Pereira = Didi
Manuel Francisco dos Santos = Mané Garrincha = Garrincha
Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite = Kaka
Edson Arantes do Nascimento = Pele
Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira = Socrates
Leônidas da Silva = Leonidas (obviously the best one)

What did Fred choose...
Frederico Rodrigues de Paula Santos = Fred

Sigh...

Huge, huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge, humongous game against Foxes going into the NT break. We haven't really started the October schedule on the right tune exactly.

by Art Morte Fri 04 Oct 2019, 20:54

Les-tah are better equipped to upset us at Anfield than ManU or Arsenal this season, imo. I hope Rodgers gets a friendly response from the crowd, btw.

by Hapless_Hans Sat 05 Oct 2019, 00:06

Relax. You'll smash them. Rodgers is a clown, ultimately.
Talented coach, but a clown.

by Glory Sat 05 Oct 2019, 07:26

Yea he will put out a defensive team like he did against us. Will show too much respect.
