it sounds like Brazil wants Jose if you can believe the rumors of the press...

i hope so, too. i love it when the managers play their games off the pitch. I would have added MC in there but have no idea about Pelligrini.

Does Brendan get testy in media with other managers, though?

oh, i wouldn't replace the third place game. i think one exhibition game every four years is ok and not overdoing it. hell, the pro teams themselves have "all star games" all the time, even la liga, tho, not as a league initiative, but those tribute games, ie racism, player retirements, etc.

historically, yes, not so much past decade

i think their back 4 were the best they had to offer....yeesh

i'm so looking forward to him mixing words with Jose and Arsene in the English press.

hey now, concacaf had a good showing this WC. Relegated to Asia....

i think you may be overestimating the talent that Brazil has. Scolari might not have managed his best, but OTOH....this team looks like it has 10 midfielders out there with the keeper.

i don't know, i think pride takes over...this game has certainly been good. Another exposure of Brazil's deficits.

Can't remember. I read so many rumors on ESPN and Goal...i thought one with mid pack EPL team, and another Serie A team, not Milan.

yeah, though, i've seen rumors of possible transfer back to Europe

or the analyst....

also, whatever happened to Pato? was he not fit??

i can't remember if he was fit entire season, or not, but he was solid, as usual when i watched them play. I'm not a big Serie A fan, but watch the big matches and CL matches.

I didn't realize that Jo still played, period. And Maicon is a true back. Sometimes i think these beautiful football teams, like Spain, Brazil, and sometimes Argentina make mistakes of having midfielders playing as backs, ie Sergio Ramos. He made a great RB because he could join the attack with his foot skills, but…

yeah, i always thought he was a bit protected at Chelsea by Ivanovic and old man Terry

Cougar life.com??

yes, because no one would ever watch a friendly between 2 big global teams featuring their best fit stars...

yes, that second goal may have been offside by half a size 11 boot, but defense was still awful. and, btw, i would like linesman to give benefit of doubt to offensive player like they were instructed to do about 5 years ago. I would rather get this call maybe wrong then take away a goal that was onside by slim…
