BREAKING TEAM NEWS - England v Brazil (1930 GMT) Ronaldinho, Oscar, David Luiz and QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar all start for Brazil.
If I'm honest, I wouldn't. I'd quite like to watch England and feel some affinity with the players rather than "applaud" Cashley's 100th cap...
I asked this on the Cesar thread......does anyone know whether this is the very first time a QPR player has started a competitive match for Brazil?
I realise that Cole won't get any recognition on here and I agree he is a complete knob. However, as an England full back, he has been the best of his generation and absolutely superb.
Quite possibly the best full back in the world over the last 6-10 years Sh**e, thought we were talking about carlsberg. I'll get me coat.

I think so cannot think of any Brazillians that have played for us How many QPR players have played against England? I think maybe Steyskal,
I still can't believe that we have such an outstanding goalkeeper. We are really lucky to have him. Almost as good as Peter Hucker.
Check out Dante the CB. He was a player I suggested we go after when we came up from the Champ. Playing for Borussia Mönchengladbach at the time and could have been bought for a sniff compared to the quality he represented. A year on and he signs for Bayern Munich for a mere €4,7 mill, helping them set defensive records along the way this season, only conceding one away goal so far playing every game. The rest as they say is history. Just goes to show what some proper scouting can do for you.
