Rival Watch / Other Teams

Tevez going to Juve for £12million.

 

Mignolet is gone to Liverpool

 

Can't read through 202 pages to check if anyone has posted Canary news -- especially since there isn't any yet. Ricky Van Wolfswinkel is it so far, plus Javier Garrido on a permanent deal.

Congratulations Piskie. Bet you now can't remember how life was before. Oops, O/T, sorry.

 

Thanks mate. Yes only been a week, can't remember my life without her now really . .

 

Watching Brazil vs Uruguay.

Sideshow Bob (Luiz) is an absolute liability. Gave away a penalty. Forlan was accurate but it wasn't powerful enough to beat Cesar who made a good save.

Neymar is getting totally sussed by the Uruguay defense. Every time he cuts inside from the left, the defenders charge at him and win it.

 

Brazil rather lucky 2-1 winners. Forget Paulinho, that guy Luis Gustavo was quality. Cavani and Marcelo were also excellent.

-edit- and Neymar is a diving cheat who will fit right in at Barca

 

Ain't had no time to follow the confed cup, but according to most reports, it's actually been a decent tournament, and I am already looking forward to a Brazil-Spain final.

 

Italy will probably win against Spain and ruin another tournament like they usually do

 

Hope not, I'd love to see Brazil get a spanking in the final

 

Same here. Some of the Brazilian players are being hyped up way too much. No way Brazil will win anything with this team as there are many more teams better than them. Spain and Germany are way ahead of them.

 

With the exception of one or two players this is the worst Brazil team I've seen in a long time

 

I would agree with you, but Scolari has picked a very balanced team. Think about how rubbish United look on paper most seasons, and yet Ferguson gets them to win.

What really impressed me last night was the central midfield pairing of Paulinho and Luis Gustavo. They both look like exceptional players. Then they've got Marcelo and Dani Alves bombing up the sides. Oscar will only be better next year in the AM role, and Neymar will probably learn a thing or two in Spain. Plus on home turf, I think they have a chance.

Having said that, I hope Spain destroy them too.

 

Home advantage always seems to make a massive difference to Brazil, more than any of the other big teams

 

Being an old ****er I tend to compare all Brazil teams with the one that won the World Cup in 1970

 

Spuds look set to sign Paulinho for £17m. Cracking player, big money though.

 

I'd honestly never heard of him before the game against England

 

There are other rumours that Real Madrid want to sign him

 

Have you been reading the tea leaves again ?

 

A midfield of Dembele,Sandro and Paulinho is going to be very strong, indeed.

 

£17million in football terms is a bargain.

City paid 30 for a player who isnt as good so in that respect Spurs have got quite the deal.
